Congrats to our friends at ODN.

Quick housekeeping note to MHA, for future reference... You may want to adjust what someone with a foreign diplomat can see on your forums. Everyone keeps saying we're hitting ghosts, however a simple foreign diplomat mask gives people access to your membergroups to pick actual registered nations, whether active or not. Trust me when I say we looked closely at this list. [quote] <xxxx> One of the biggest concerns about hitting MHA is that their ghosts will be used as a meatshield. <xxxx> We have effectively removed the Ghosts from the equation. <letub[away]> perfect <xxxx> There is no buffer zone. We are hitting raw Hitchhikers. [/quote]

My little Hooligans Have fun out there. o/

o/ ODN It's a pleasure to be fighting along side you in our first conflict with CnG.

Oh how very interesting. NPO, let's have a lunch date today and talk.

[center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/Cope/aclogo2.png[/img][/center] With the lack of war Planet Bob has seen over the past several months, we decided to do something about it. While we sit back and wait on SF to pull the trigger, GATO has been continuing to grow on a daily basis. Just a few minutes ago, we hit a milestone not yet reached before. [center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/Cope/GATO.png[/img][/center] 8 million total strength. In the spirit of Christmas, we also recently signed a secret treaty. Hopefully this conflict escalates and we get the opportunity to give a deserving alliance a surprise through it. We also just concluded elections for our High Court and our Congress. I present to you our newly elected; [b] High Court:[/b] [i]Kubla Khan King Gregory Kevlar[/i] [b]Congress:[/b] [i]James Wilson kerschbs Chris_Kaos Romii Sisao AngelRemorse MrHiott[/i] [size="1"]Further announcements to follow...[/size]

[quote name='Laserwolf' timestamp='1320166813' post='2836505'] More like bribes to keep you away????? <3 Letub [/quote] That too, I could name a few Also, Laserwolf and TimLee are returning for their third terms as deputy Assembly Chairmen. So feel free to bug them if I'm [away].

[quote name='Leet Guy' timestamp='1320155798' post='2836442'] But seriously, term limits? Those still exist in here? [/quote] After January 1, 2012 I'll be unemployed. However, I am currently accepting offers to ruin other alliances.

Sad to see IAA go away after being around for so long. However, GATO welcomes each and every member to join our ranks. o/ IAA

Hopefully nothing until I get back from the Ron White show that evening.

It's been a long time in waiting to get to this point between our two alliances. I'm happy to see this wrapped up to start the relationship again.

[quote name='RandomInterrupt' timestamp='1318557785' post='2824369'] However it appears that other forces have decided to unbalance this fight in the form of sending aid. Alliances not at war with the Legion, namely The Last Remnants, the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization, Asgaard, and Ragnarok seek to interfere. [/quote] You could have always resorted to other means than aid drops, what nations aren't in peace mode though. You're call.

[quote name='magicninja' timestamp='1318120569' post='2821167'] Our ties to CnG have been pretty solid for a long time now. I think what it really is, is a component of our democratic system. Sometimes you have people in gov who are more diplomatic and friendly (ie, Laserwolf) sometimes you have some people who like a little action. I like it that way. It kind of makes GATO unpredictable if you don't know the people in gov. [/quote] Did somebody say action? Lock and load.

[quote name='Greg23' timestamp='1317936673' post='2818905'] GATOans know I still love em<3 Also do you count me as former-GATO or former-IAA? [/quote] You are former meh, or are you still meh?

Good luck out there IAA. We're here for you when needed.

We look forward to seeing Starfleet become valuable members of GATO.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1316986087' post='2808410'] Uhhhhhh..., I direct you to the timestamps of the following declarations of war and surrenders: So I guess if you define "further for their friends than most other alliances" as less than two rounds of war while their allies get another 5 weeks of war, then you are correct. But that's not a very good definition. GATO has shown war after war after war that GATO is out for Number 1 and no one else. So, congratulations to GATO for getting a chair at a serious bloc, you're nice guys and all, but you're not very good at honoring treaties. Condolences to NPO that it took so long for an unholy union between ODN and GATO that now you're on the same side and can't have some real fun. [/quote] Thanks for your observations and fact checking. Your notes have been looked at and discarded. I mean really, can we get on to other things yet?

Knew about this months ago! Very excited to see this finally announced, it's been a long road.

Happy to see this. Congrats to both our good friends!

Congrats guys and good luck James Wilson. You know we're always here if you need us. <3 Chimmy

Congrats on the treaty guys. Roll Rush

[quote name='Duke Nukem' timestamp='1314919145' post='2792568'] Is it a pre-warning that you used the word GRIEVANCE in this announcement? [/quote] The complaint has been noted and I shall scorn Laslo for that. He tends to get a bit out of hand at times.

[quote name='Motorfist' timestamp='1314758069' post='2791379'] It's been great seeing that GATO and Tetris have a lot in common. Neither of you can defend your own protectorates without enlisting the aid of your friends. [/quote] Wouldn't that be what friends are for? Oh wait, I forgot you wouldn't know.
