Recommended Posts

In February 2009, I began to think -- have I really explored all the options and have I truly explored everywhere? Well, I received my answer shortly after consulting with some friends. I decided to start drawing up plans to start my own alliance. It took quite a bit of on/off planning, but its finally completed.

Without further ado... the existence of Hanayome is declared.

Next, our protectorate agreement.

I was happy and thrilled to hear Chimaera would support my dream of this alliance, I could think of no one better

than IAA to protect my alliance. I thank Chimaera, Mathias and many others at IAA who supported my dream.

IAA-HANA Protectorate Pact

Preamble

In the interest of friendship, protection, and guidance Imperial Assault Alliance (IAA) and Hanayome (HANA) agree to

the following protectorate agreement.

Article I: Sovereignty

IAA and HANA recognize each other as sovereign and separate alliances.

Article II: Peace and Respect

IAA and HANA will coexist in a state of peace. Neither alliance will attack the other militarily or verbally. Both

alliances will remain respectful towards each other at all times and any differences will be handled via private

discussion.

Article III: Protection and Defense

An attack on HANA will be considered an attack on IAA, and will be met with all available strength in defense. If the

attack is found to be provoked by HANA through political faux-pas, insults, flaming, trolling, spying or just general

asshattery etc, IAA although still reserving the right to defend HANA is under no obligation to. Should IAA find

itself engaged in war, HANA has the right, but not the obligation, to assist in any way possible, including but not

limited to financial and military support.

Article IV: Aggression and Treaty Signing

HANA agrees to alert IAA if they have decided to go on the offensive towards another alliance at least 48 hours

before doing so. HANA will never declare war on another alliance without first discussing it with IAA leadership.

HANA will discuss and get permission from IAA before signing any treaty with another alliance, any failure to do so

can be used as ground to terminate this protectorate.

Article V: Cancellation

Both parties agree to give each other 48 hour notice before canceling this treaty, during which all articles will be

upheld. Any acts of asshattery can result in this treaty to be canceled immediately upon notification.
