RyanGDI Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) A Global Defence Initiative Declaration of War Greetings...I come to CN with rather upsetting, yet enlightening news. Over the past few days, we've had wars erupting against pretty much everyone, everywhere. Today however, we officially announce that we don't sit back and watch this happen. We formally declare war upon the New Pacific Order. Why? It's not because they're being jumped by countless alliances in anger of their previous actions (aka bandwaggoning). It's not because they attacked OV. It's not because our friends are fighting against their allies. It's because of this: 1.3- Purpose: The Global Defence Initiative is an alliance which serves to protect the rights of nationalities in this game. As well as supporting itself, the GDI outreaches to other nations seeking refuge, aid, and assistance in times of need. See...this is where Pacifica fails to keep a content view in our eyes. For vastly too many times, they have sentenced nations to PZI, destroying their in-game character and preventing them as playing for who they truly are, and hiding behind a mask of sorrow. They have even locked out entire alliances (i.e. FAN), and forced them to grow their nations in a crippled state, fuming with discontent from their captors. This directly strikes against what we stand for, and what we believe should happen to any aggressor in a war. But, it doesn't end there. The NPO attempts to "help" other nations by calling the Red Sphere a protected area from raiders under the Revenge Doctrine. Sure, this is absolutely fair and acceptable...a great sign of outreaching your protection, power, and membership for a good purpose. But then comes the classic Moldavi Doctrine. You fully claim the Red Sphere to be property of the NPO, and that nobody may reside on red without your explicit permission and acceptance. You know what NPO? The Red Sphere isn't "yours". It's not your little toy to play with and employ against others. The senate was never meant to be yours. The people and the wars and the aid wasn't meant to be yours. If the Red Sphere was supposed to be under your complete control, perhaps it would have said "NPO" instead of Red. But it's not that way, is it? The Red Sphere is for anyone and everyone who wishes to reside under it, and you have no right to delegate such restrictions upon any foreign nation outside of your power, aka the alliance. A fact that is surely most disturbing is Pacifica's attempt to rally the entire Red Sphere into war for their bidding. As seen here on the TWiP, NPO discusses voluntary conscription for war. Think about this: if they don't want to join you, do they want to fight with you? If they wanted to be involved in your affairs, would they not be a member? Of course they would. But are they? No. So what, toss a bunch of propaganda and defensive guilt trips under their noses and make them fight? No matter how small or how large we are, we're still an alliance. And when we are that alliance, we remain binded to our beliefs and we stand united for them. How much power we can muster does not matter, but what matters is if we do. Therefore, we will push for the freedoms of every last nation in this game that you currently suppress, hold down, and keep from being able to do as they please. And when that day comes, we will have served our goal. One last notice. Our alliance sticks as a peacekeeping team. This means that some of our members do not prefer conflict for various reasons, including RL or simply a lack of concept on current affairs. Therefore, if we attack, we're at war. If one doesn't, they do not wish to be involved. Leave them be. Sincerely, Ryan (Supreme Commander of the Global Defence Initiative) (PS: All nations have been notified and there has been a vast majority slide for this movement, including government.)

Matthew Conrad Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 This is dangerously close to bandwagoning. I'm assuming MHA will have a talk with you guys unless you have a treaty connected to the conflict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarikmo Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 So, that pretty much gives you the right to declare on Pacifica, if my charter said, We don't like democracy, should I be able to declare war on every democratic alliance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) Sucks that this is yet another alliance trying to gangbang NPO, but hey, you've get Mechs in your DoW, you can't be that bad. Edited April 26, 2009 by Alestor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to all bandwaggoning calls, we're actually been attacking since April 21. Only today is it formal, with time for members to know what is going on before-hand.

Im sure GDI has thought of this but given your PR is so poor and even "friends" look at your alliance with pity and/or contempt that an alliance such as GDI is allowed to exist given the number of political SNAFU's GDI has made on this very forum, that when this war is done and peace is made that: i) GDI is recognised as an alliance ii) GDI wont attract a rogue problem thats bigger than its alliance Goodluck on your roll GDI, I am overflowing with confidence that both of the above will be achieved :lol: Edited April 26, 2009 by bill n ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCToker Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Bandwagon: The act of attacking an alliance that is currently engaged in another war for little or no reason (IE without a valid CB). Example of a non-bandwagon: Alliance A gets attacked by Alliance B. Alliance C has an MADP with Alliance B and thus attacks Alliance A as well. Alliance C has not performed a bandwagon as treaty obligations are always a valid CB. Example of a bandwagon: Alliance A gets attacked by Alliance B. Alliance C has never liked the way Alliance A operates and thus sees this as a chance to take them down. Alliance C attacks Alliance A. Alliance C has performed a bandwagon as "Because you don't like them" is not considered a valid CB. And attacking without a formal DoW for 5 days is even lower. OOC You are an insult to the name GDI.

x Tela x Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Thanks, GDI. This finally gave me an excuse to give in to the GR nation that kept begging for peace. Thanks to GR (probably a ghost at this NS, tbh), I had a slot available for one of you guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
