Thomasj_tx Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 The Mushroom Kingdom hereby reaffirms our signature on the GPA Declaration of Neutrality. We view our signature as a recognition of the goals of the Green Protection Agency, and do this with the expectation that should there be an incident between our two alliances, it would be resolved with alacrity and to everyone's satisfaction. Thank you. Thank you for the reaffirmation. The Signatories List has been updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galapagos Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 As to "clerical errors" in general....You may recall that the GPA recently had the final term of our Peace Terms removed after nearly one year. You may also recall that the reason given as to why the term was not removed sooner was basically a "clerical or administrative error". So it seems that these "errors" can happen to even the best of Alliances and not the least the GPA.... Did you not feel the need to approach someone in NPO and inquire about the peace terms?

Trace Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Honestly, I think the reaction to all of this is hilarious. And while I'm sure plenty of entertainment can be derived from picking on the GPA, I've never really been one for it.The Mushroom Kingdom hereby reaffirms our signature on the GPA Declaration of Neutrality. We view our signature as a recognition of the goals of the Green Protection Agency, and do this with the expectation that should there be an incident between our two alliances, it would be resolved with alacrity and to everyone's satisfaction. We furthermore recognize that there have been incidents in the Green Protection Agency's past for which they have paid dearly, but as a sovereign alliance we are not obliged to subscribe to the views and attitudes of others. We create our own, and we have not been given a reason to question this alliance's resolve or drive to achieve such a difficult goal. Thank you. I am in full agreement with Archon here. This petty squabbling over minor issues is quite hysterical. Really, it happened ages ago, and its the GPA, let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyak Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Does GPA have any MDP or defense treaties? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasj_tx Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Does GPA have any MDP or defense treaties? No. It is against our Charter. And I quote: Section V - Foreign Relations1. The GPA will not enter into any offensive or defensive military agreements with any other Alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soyak Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 It states that we are legally bound to pursue friendly and impartial conduct toward all other nations and Alliances and maintain strict military and political neutrality and non-intervention. We are able to, and have in our history, entered into "treaties" that support these values and principles. As to "staying in our own little corner", I am not sure what that means, but we encourage all of our members to interact with other nations and alliances in a friendly and impartial way.It works well for us because that is what our values are. As to being effective, that is in the eye of the beholder, but we just had our third anniversary last week so something must be working okay. Thanks for your questions and I hope that I have answered them to your satisfaction. * Mind Blown * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other document that the GPA is party to is the United Jungle Accords which has no military or political requirements on the part of the GPA.

Emperor Fu Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 If I remember rightly it was a clerical/administrative error that allowed Lord Swampy to become an affiliate member and we all know what happened there; best watch out for those clerical errors....... Your first error is to use the term "affiliate member". GPA affiliates are not GPA members. They never have been. Affiliate status has always been and was always intended to be a probationary period for incoming applicants during which we could review their history and check backgrounds before accepting them as trainees. Affiliates may or may not be offered protection, depending on their situation. When we discovered Lord Swampy was on ZI lists, he was removed from affiliate status, serving perfectly the purpose of the affiliate status. He was never a member and there was no error involved in that scenario, at least not on our part. I will not say we have not made errors, because we obviously did make some. The error you mentioned though, was, and is still, nonexistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
