I must have missed your Declaration of Existence.Who are you again?
Could Planet Bob be seeing the first signs of a New World Order? The vast lack of war, entangled treaties, alliance co-dependence, global services, and government instability would certainly suggest it. This phenomenon has been studied by many and ignored by all – until now. Through the process of the evolution of the cyberverse, such a scenario is seemingly imminent.
As we have progressed to our current stage, Planet Bob has witnessed the formation of organizations that have used questionable means to excel. The act of identifying an adversary and destroying it before it can become a threat is a most cowardly practice, as is the act of using military force and inserted government to gain allies. Using fear to carry out objectives will only affect the fearful. They do not affect the Blackstone Collusion.
Most would agree that a new direction in this community would bring refreshing change. For the last 3 years, we have seen hoards of treaty declarations and treaty cancellations; declarations of war and declarations of peace. We've stood by observing mindless hailfests, lack of individuality, and the scoffing of those who have been loyal to their alliances, by their own leadership. It comes as no surprise that the overwhelming majority of the community has chosen to remain rogue.
In this world, any organization who offers something different, is certainly a pioneer, and is certainly needed. We are arranged as we are, not out of cowardice on our own accord, but out of simple necessity - as others are extremely terrified of competition and will go through great lengths to prevent it. Our model is based on the NPO/NpO model; the practice of growing first before establishment. Clearly, this model has yielded excellent results.
We are the desperately needed change in the cyberverse. We are the symbol of the end of the seemingly endless routines that spin this planet. When it comes to serving a system that promotes NWO and prevents challenge and change, we are DoNE.

The Blackstone Collusion is an excellent example of a "cause and effect" relationship. We were once a dream that many players in the cyberverse shared for years. Today, we are a reality. Traditional methods of securing the freedoms once present here only served to strengthen those that have removed it. It was only a matter of time before the community would witness an evolution in the way this game is played. We are that evolution.
As we lurk in the shadows, we have two nations that maintain an in-game presence. Founded on 05 January 2009, our old board received over 200 registered accounts in the course of 14 days. In that time, our inaugural video received over 2,000 views. If you don't know who we are by now, you're out of style, and we encourage you to learn more.
Valentine's Day left us love-struck. Successfully sniped by Cupid, we looked over, and we saw Vox standing there, smiling at us. We already had a crush on them, but it was their eloquent speech that caused us to fall head-over-heels. It comes as no surprise that we have signed the Fashionably Late Compact, without hesitation.
The Fashionably Late CompactPreamble
To further Peace and Good Relations, Vox Populi (Vox) and undersigned alliances agree to the following Terms:
Article I: Scope of the Agreement
1. In the signing of this pact, it must be clear that all signatories remain sovereign, as do the members in each alliance.

Goodbye, RV. You will be missed.

Oh my, this looks...rather condemning ...Best of luck to both parties.
Yea, bout that. Good luck. This should prove to be interesting.

We're back.

No, not at all.
I meant that I never heard of that used as a joke before and him using his military experience to justify it is odd.
That's all.
I never implied I served in the military. Other occupations require you take take an oath.

How the hell does anyone get the imagery of a bullet going through someone's head with that comment? Who said the bullet had to be traveling?
I see him sitting in a chair at a table. On the table is a bullet. He swiftly leans down and headbutts the bullet. He's left with a nice bullet-shaped indention on his forehead.
Well, at least ONE person isn't taking that statement literally. Seriously guys, people say stuff like this all the time. Grow up and realize that it was a joke, not a crazy OOC attack. Why would I, of all people, wish harm on another person? It's my sworn duty to protect and save people, not hurt them.
Grow up.

I'm always met with such warm reception by the NPOers.
I spoke with Sev about it, of course. He said it was a joke. I guess this thread wasn't enough evidence that the NPO has some odd methodology when trying to make us laugh.
Oh come on, it was a great line! Seriously though, you should know my humor. The little smiley face thing gave it away too. Relax.

In the backround, you're able to hear people speaking in very loud voices about a number of things, but as soon as I stood up, people hushed...
"Greetings, everyone. I come to you today to tell you of..."
My voice faded as I heard a voice in my ear. I was being told that there really was no need to make such a grandiose speech. I accepted that notion, because I didn't feel like making it anyway.
"WAPA, you screwed with Murder Inc. You knew what would happen. We told you what we would do."
"It's time for WAPA to die."

Article I. Mutual
This means both of us agree upon this.
Article II. Aggressive
This means that Murder Inc. and The Pacific Army will go to war against an enemy together.
Article III. Defense
If you mess with The Pacific Army, you're messing with Murder Inc, and vice versa. We will defend each other.
Article IV. Pact
Well, "pact" is synonymous to "treaty", which is what this is. A treaty.

Don't you have your own forums for internal stuff?
Yes we do. However, we wanted to ensure that the CN:TE world knew of our intentions. Also, we will not protect red. We are just forbidding our members to raid red. Any other questions?
-
As The Pacific Army grows and develops, it goes through changes. Some of these changes can effect internal actions, and other changes can effect external actions. This one is both the former, and the latter.
The Pacific Army will enable its troops to raid, beginning 00:00 CST September 18th, 2008.
Our rules are as follows for tech raids:
1.) If you raid a nation, you are completely on your own. You may not have another TPA member assist you, and if the raid target attacks back, you are on your own.
2.) You are to send peace right after the two ground attacks.
3.) You are not to attack using Aircraft/CMs.
4.) You may not raid anyone that has an AA of 5 or more members.
5.) No raiding Red.
6.) Ignoring these rules shall result in expulsion.

The Blood Pact
Preamble: Though our existences may be but a brief ripple in the river of time, the challenges we share and resistances we meet will occasionally cause us to form eddies. These eddies may forge their own paths through virgin lands, forming streams, brooks, and even mighty rivers. As the river is formed from its tributaries, so to are we given strength from our fellowship. We are no strangers to strife, but it is not strife that rules our reason today. In recognition of the strength of our friendship, we unite in common purpose, to bring safety and security to ourselves, and to set a shining example for the rest of the Cyberverse.
Article I: Establishment
There is hereby established a bloc of alliances known as The Blood Pact. The initial member alliances of The Blood Pact are: The Citadel, The Pacific Army, and Crimson Empire.
Article II: Mutual Defense and Aggression
No member alliance shall attack any other member alliance. Each member alliance shall assist any other member alliance that is engaged in military combat with a non-member alliance. Assistance includes a combination of any or all of military, diplomatic, and intelligence-gathering assistance, at the option of, and in the levels required by, the engaged alliance. A single war between a nation of a member alliance and a nation of a non-member alliance shall be considered to engage the member alliance in military combat.
Article III: Team Senators
Each member alliance shall assist the other member alliances, to the extent possible, in electing Senators to their respective teams. An alliance’s team shall be the team of a plurality of the alliance’s membership. The three member alliances of each team having the highest sanction rank shall each be entitled to nominate a candidate for Senate. All of the votes controlled by the member alliances for each team shall be divided evenly among the nominees for that team, unless otherwise agreed by the member alliances.
Article IV: Admission of New Alliances
A new alliance may be admitted to The Blood Pact upon unanimous approval of the member alliances.
Article V: Resignation of Alliances
An alliance may free itself from the bonds of this Pact by serving a written Notice to each of the member alliances of its intent to do so. Notice may be served in any suitable public place. A resignation shall be effective 72 hours from the day and time of service of the Notice of Intent to Resign.
Article VI: Term and Termination of Treaty
This treaty shall be effective from the day and time of its official announcement, and shall endure so long as there remain two or more member alliances.
Article VII: Dispute Resolution
The member alliances agree to resolve any disputes arising under this treaty amicably and confidentially.
We, being the duly chosen and sworn representatives of our respective alliances, do hereby affix our signatures to this Pact, to show our resolute commitment to its purpose, with a steadfast belief and solemn hope that it will bring an even brighter tomorrow for us all.

Good choice. It's nice that you can keep a good attitude.

Our alliance has 25 members, and is not listed.
