Announcement from The Order of the Black Rose

[Nobama]

Wow, the Writ has been around for a long damn time. The OBR wakens?

[Anu Drake]

Why anyone would want to attack an entity of such colossal average strength that has no political ambitions is beyond me. It's not like they needed the Writ, anyway.

Exactly what I was thinking. I'm not sure if this was a totally selfish act or if there's something going on, but I liked having our name on that treaty. It was something solid that passed the test of time because it was unique and OBR is such a great group.

inb4NOIR?!

Black menace strikes again.

[Lucas Perry]

Didn't expect to see this. Good luck, OBR.

[Aratar]

Best of luck to our friends in the Order of the Black Rose!

[metal]

I've always been waiting for The Order to do something like this.

That makes two of us.

[evilgm]

the dawn of a new day for the Order. All hail the Rose.

[Raider]

I've seen a lot of things, but I never thought I'd see this.

Away, good luck to the OBR, you are one of the most honorable alliances in the game.

[Dark Angelus]

o/ OBR... good luck with your endeavors.

[Byron Orpheus]

Just because alliances would have violated the treaty in the name of self-preservation doesn't make such action a non-violation of the treaty. They didn't think they wrote it that way, the did write it that way. Whether or not alliances would have obeyed the treaty is irrelevant.

Irrelevant if you want to pat yourself on the back for being a cunning linguist, not irrelevant if you wanted the treaty to actually work.

Dear Knights,

I must support you in your decision to finally lay to rest the noble writ. Whilst it has served you in its time, no longer will such a document prove beneficial to the Order. Rather, the pact of neutrality might serve only to constrain the Order from doing what is Right, what with the alliances having signed the pact changing so greatly over time. Now you may find true allies with whom you can fight alongside without worry of conflicting obligations. I trust you will form very strong relationships, if only very few.

[schurick]

while it is sad to see something like the Writ come to an end, it is totally understandable

I do apologize for not making over before but it is a mistake I promise to remedy now, so that we can continue growing our ties and relationship.

[Duke of Cool]

Wow, the retirees are getting up from their La-Z-Boys!!

This is great to see. I like that you all are getting involved. Hell, I just like reading about you!!

Hi SoC!!
