Updated Charter.
-
-
I was not aware that he was doing such a thing. He has had NO go ahead from me or any member of Government of Black Sails.
I am terribly sorry for this inconvenience, he has been removed from our member list and has lost access to our forums.
He will be reprimanded.
Bombs away!
Edit: He has been booted from our alliance, hopefully we can end it at that.
Thanks,
Jon

After much thought, and planning, I have decided to change the name of our alliance from "Malleus Maleficarum" to "The Order of the Black Sails." I did this for several reasons, one of which I would like to address publicly.
Malleus Maleficarum was named after a song, not the witch hunt treaty from 1486, written by Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger. I am aware the our name has offended some members of this community and I would like to openly apologize to those who were offended.
On a happier note, our charter has changed some, and I would like to repost that. We are still a protectorate of The Order of Light.
Our new IRC channel is: #tobs (coldfront)
Our URL is still, http://mm.nsanelabs.com (but will soon change)
With enough said, “Excuse me, madam, would you please be so kind as to bring me a spot of rum? I would like to have a drink.â€

Black Sails into the Sunset (On last time)
in Alliance Politics
Posted
This announcement is long overdue, and perhaps a repeat. I haven't really kept up on alliance politics (even our own), so hopefully I am not repeating what has already been stated.
We have sailed into the sunset one last time, I hereby disband TOoBS.
Effective January 29th, 2009, TOoBS members will lose their protection from our protector, The Order of Light, and be forced to remove our AA (if they have not done so already).
Members will be encouraged to join our friends over at The Ravyns, and our protector The Order of Light.
I would like to thank The Order of Light, our protector, our mother, and our friend for all the support they have given since our small alliance was first formed 7 months ago. My gratitude towards TOOL is immeasurable. We would not have gotten as far as we have gotten without them. Thank you.
I would also like to thank the entire Government of TOoBS - they did an awesome job. They stepped up to the plate when I was unable to, and did their best to keep the alliance moving forward. Thank you.
As for myself, I announce my retirement from CyberNation politics.
Best wishes,
JonathanHXC
