Good move, good move.

Shades has been a very big part of the community since the start. Unfortunately my health has been failing (As in my laptop got a bug), therefore I was unable to continue leading UoU in an effective manner, and ultimately stepped down. I will continue my studies in University, and guide Shades and UoU from the sidelines. I know Shades will do a great job, he has not let us down yet. Godspeed Shades, make us proud. *Salutes the new President*

I wish you all the best. You have a noble cause, I hope you will find a way to continue BCOM.

If my pursuit for higher knowledge never occurred (The University), I would join this alliance in a heartbeat. My thoughts are with you Zhaan. o/

Thus the church of Daggitatus dies. Hoo wasn't the only founder of Nemesis, Bob and Soccerbum also took part of the founding of teh Nemesis. This was a good alliance. o/ We're on a boat. (Bless you if you know why I said this in this topic)

This is WAE cool.

Is this happening? Alliance leaders, please contact me to let me know what is going on with this.

No need to be a jerk.

[quote name='Mathias' timestamp='1289194057' post='2505815'] So did GO say no this time as well? [/quote] I love you for this. I was actually planning on making that apart of this thread, but I forgot.

[quote name='James Maximus' timestamp='1289189023' post='2505716'] This is the truth in its entirety. [/quote] Everyone already knew this. TKTB will jump back on their feet tho, James =/= TKTB. I do like his avy tho.

As The University, we have formed a small tight-knit group that started out as 12 members under the protection of our friends of the Global Order of Darkness. Under the protection of GOD and through the Unity of our members we began to grow. We maintained our growth until we hit 21 members. During this time we began talks with our close friends at Unity about a possible way of conjoining our two communities into one. Unity was founded in late July of this year and grew in members very rapidly. It looked as if they were going to be the upcoming alliance of the year. However, tragedy struck. Their leader, who used to go by the name of Jenn, bailed on the alliance when it appeared that Unity's growth had halted. She took many members with her, and left Unity as a mess. The dying alliance was forced into Magion's hands. Since she left, Magion has been keeping Unity afloat through his leadership and activity. While Magion was keeping Unity alive, we stumbled on their channel and a friendship began to bloom. Eventually we ended up signing a Mutual Defense Pact (The Scooby & Shaggy Pact), and soon after began talks of how to bring both of our alliances together even closer. Today marks a great day in each of our alliance's history. We come together today to announce to you The University of Unity. [quote][center][IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/rbmpzr.jpg[/IMG] [size="5"][b]The University of Unity[/b][/size] [size="3"][i]Strength of Mind, Strength of Soul, Strength of One[/i][/center][/size] [b]Section I – Admission[/b] Enrolling at The University of Unity (or gaining membership) is considered a great honor. Even as an Alumnus, University members should show their alliance-pride by wearing their letter jackets, bragging to others how they started on The University of Unity’s football team, and/or wearing school colors. -In order to gain admission to The University of Unity, a nation must first change its Alliance Affiliation to ‘The University of Unity’ and apply at the official forum of The University of Unity. (http://cn-university.co.cc/index.php) -The nation joining is expected to read and understand the charter and follow the guidelines as written. -As soon as a nation’s application is processed and accepted, the nation is then enrolled and is granted the title of ‘Freshman’. [b] Section II – Alliance Roles[/b] There are several different roles a nation can fill at The University of Unity. However there are some ground rules. A. Student -Each member is a student until she or he graduates with a certain Grade Point Average (GPA). -Each member starts out as a Freshman and advances through the “years” through acts of activity, loyalty and effort. A solid Freshman should be able to go onto their Sophomore “year” in 3 months’ time. An ‘acceptable’ GPA for moving onto the next level is a 2.5. -Every Saturday each member will be graded on their activity and effort they put into The University of Unity. The grading will be done by the Professors of The University of Unity. The grading will be done using letter grades (A, B, C, D, & F) and using a 4.0 grading-scale. (All A’s = 4.0, All B’s = 3.0, All C’s = 2.0, etc) -If a student feels that she/he are being graded unfairly, the student may file a complaint with the Dean of Admissions, the Vice President or The President. If one or all of these individuals decide that the grading is unfair, they will give the student a grade that they deem acceptable. -After a student graduates, they can go back and pursue different degrees (such as a doctrine). The grading will be done the same for these extra degrees. B. Professor -A student is promoted to a Professor by the President, Vice President or Dean of Admissions. The student will still be a student (assuming she/he has not graduated yet) while also taking up the tasks as a professor. -The Professor’s task is to assess students’ activity and effort each week. A letter grade is to be handed out for both Activity and Effort. -The Professor may ask for assistance when grading a student -The Professor is subject for demotion if the Professor is failing his/her classes (effort/activity) or for any reason that the Dean of Admissions, Vice President or President see fit. C. Graduates -Once a student graduates, they have the freedom to go out and explore whatever else is out in Planet Bob, or they have the option to stay in The University of Unity and help as a staff member or re-enroll for another degree. -Graduating from The University of Unity should be considered one of the highest honors on Planet Bob, for it would take ~1 year for a member to do so. During the graduation the member will receive the highest of honors and will receive their choice of 800 tech or $24 million for their hard work and dedication to their alliance. D. Frat Party Leaders -Each Defensive Battalion will be separated by “Frats”. Each ‘Frat’ will have a leader. It is the responsibility of the Frat Party Leaders to make sure that their pledges are signed-in and are constantly prepared for war. -When war does occur, the Frat Party Leaders should work closely with the Dean of Discipline. Their primary objective: ‘Party, Win, Grin’. E. Advisors Each Dean will have advisors to help them out with day-to-day activities. They are to be appointed by the Dean on the 3rd of every month. The responsibilities of the advisors are as follows: -To assist the Dean with projects and to make sure that the quality of the department stays at a high-level. -To stay active and make sure that the members in their department fill out responsibilities. (Such responsibilities are to be determined by the Dean of said department) F. Deans The position of Dean comprises of leading a department and making sure that said department is fully functional and active. The Deans will be appointed by The President every 2nd of each month. --Dean of Admissions -The Dean of Admissions is responsible for the following: *The wellbeing of enrolled students *Bringing in students to The University of Unity *Making sure that grades are given out fairly *Setting up Trades/Trade Circles *Keeping the forum in an active state *Student-to-Student Issues (such as acts of disrespect, arguments, etc) --Dean of Abroad Studies -The Dean of Abroad Studies is responsible for the following: *Relations with friendly alliances are fruitful and ongoing *Constant activity between allies *Foreign issues that may pop up *(Alongside the Dean of Discipline) Dealing with rogues --Dean of Financial Aid -The Dean of Financial Aid is responsible for the following: *Coordinating Aid Programs *Coordinating Tech Programs *Working with allies to ensure University and allied nations are as strong as possible *Making sure University nations are aware of how to build their nations properly --Dean of Discipline -The Dean of Discipline is responsible for the following: *Leading The University of Unity’s army to the best possible outcome *Maintaining The University of Unity’s military *Organizing Frat Houses/Appointing Frat House Leaders *(Alongside the Dean of Abroad Studies)Dealing with Rogues F. Vice President The Vice President serves as the President’s right-hand and is second-in-command of all departments. The Vice President is appointed by The President on the 1st of every 2 months. The responsibilities of the Vice President are as follows: *Assisting the President in any and all matters *Doing what she/he can to create a fun/safe community for all University students and faculty *Giving advice to the departments *Serving as President in case of an unexpected or expected absence of the President *Record University meetings G. President The President serves as the leader of The University of Unity and first-in-command of all departments. The President is elected by the students and faculty of The University of Unity every 3 months. In order to run for the position of ‘President’, a University member must be at least a Sophomore and receive 5 nominations from students. (At least 1 of those nominations must be from a Dean) Each University member may only nominate 1 member for the position of ‘President’. There will be 1 week of debating between the candidates before the election takes place. After 1 week is up, members will have 48 hours to vote. After the 48 hours are up, the winner is announced by the Vice President . The responsibilities of the President are as follows: *To ensure that The University of Unity is the best community it can possibly be *To ensure that all Deans are active and fulfilling their duties (if not, the President has the power to demote Deans/Vice President and replace them with a more qualified member) *To oversee and help out any department that needs it *To be a positive figurehead for The University of Unity *To address student and faculty concerns *To take care of problem members (if a member is being disrespectful to others, etc; the President may take a course of action that is best for the community of The University of Unity) *To approve/reject treaties and make sure that the membership of The University of Unity are in support of such treaties *To declare war when necessary and make sure that the membership of The University of Unity are in support of such a declaration [b] III. Vote of No Confidence[/b] A government member, including the President, may be voted out of office. In order for a government member to be voted out, a member must post a VoNC in the proper place on the before-mentioned alliance forums. It will then have 72 hours to be okayed by either 2 Deans or the President. If 2 Dean and/or the President does not endorse the VoNC, then the VoNC will be placed into The University of Unity Archives and will no longer be valid. If a VoNC is shot down by the government, then The University of Unity students have the option of holding a vote. If the vote reaches 70% in favor for the removal of the government member, then the government member is to be removed. If the said government member is the President, the Vice President will fulfill the President’s duties until the next election. [b]IV. Amendments[/b] In order for this charter to be amended, a member must post their proposed amendment and present it forth in the proper area on The University of Unity forum. Members had 72 hours to vote on whether the amendment should pass or not. If 60% of the membership vote for the amendment to be passed, then the amendment shall be added to the official charter of The University of Unity.[/quote] [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=93739&st=0&p=2489577&#entry2489577"]The Shaggy and Scooby Pact[/url] is now null and void.

[quote name='TheListener' timestamp='1289183580' post='2505603'] TKTB acted aggressively by attacking a nation not affiliated with AcTi??? I'm super confused on how that logic works... [/quote] Either IAA is really in the dark here, or this is a lie. The reason they attacked that nation was to bait Batta into war. TKTB's action WAS an act of aggression.

Very interesting. Should cause future drama.

[quote name='Dochartaigh' timestamp='1289177631' post='2505437'] total PR loss? you mean having some MK trolls come in and do their thing and then the likes of MVP/Fernando come in and whine like normal? really, that PR loss? whoopdi-friggin-do. To my knowledge, no ally of anyone in Sirius contemplated dropping any member of Sirius over this so i am not sure where this total PR loss you speak of is coming from? unless you are making it up.[/quote] I thought much less of Sirius after this whole thing, and I really like a lot of the alliances in it. I'm guessing I'm not the only one. (Trust me, I'm not a MK troll. Considering me so would be an insult to us both.) [quote]Battalion is a horrible and egotistical leader. [/quote] Agreed.

If Sirius consisted of alliances I didn't like, I would poke fun at this. However, let us lay this to rest. Congratulations on making the right decision.

[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1289125659' post='2504908'] Just the fact that I find it ironic that YOU of all people should attempt to call someone out on being a self-important micro. [/quote] Glad you were able to address my whole post. /sarcasm I also find it hilarious due to the lack of me mentioning the importance of The University on Bob's politics...ever. So I do not see how we are coming across as being self-important.

Oh good call. However I am a little confused on what that has to do with anything. Should I have made this post back in '07 when I was Minister of Foreign Affairs of a 250+ member alliance? Would my opinion be more relevant then? A man that once went by Srqt was rarely in a government position, however I respected his opinion more than the opinion of 99% of Planet Bob. Government positions mean crap, having character/having a logical mind/having a heart is what matters and that is something you dearly lack. I would not care if you were the leader of 1000 nations, my opinion of your leadership skills would be the same. EDIT: This is a reply to Arrnea

This is a war, not a contest of morals. [/quote] We're talking about surrender terms, not the act of war itself. (Granted this particular war could also be debated)
