Il Duce Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) We, the members of Vox Populi do hereby declare our existence. We have been at work for many weeks, and our hard work has finally come to fruition. We are made up by a strong group of members with varying backgrounds, each with a unique history to his or her name. Yet we all share the same dedication, passion, and willingness to succeed in the name of the Alliance. We wish to be a catalyst to all of our members and their nations. Our goal economically as an alliance is rapid industrialization and growth of all our member's nations with alliance-wide programs and aid. We will help our members as much as we can, and we will reward them for devotion to Vox Populi. We will not accept beggars, but members who are dedicated to our cause will be met with open arms. Every member shall be heard, and every member treated as fairly as they deserve. It will require work to climb the ladder of ranks, but it can be achieved by devotion and hard work. We do not wish to get caught up in the web of Planet Bob politics. Instead, we wish to focus on our members, and how we can make their experience something they'll never forget. Indeed, we care about the backbone of this Alliance, and we call on all members to unite under the banner of Vox Populi. We will prevail. We are the Voice of the People.
