Ivan Moldavi Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Well, one of our Marauders, Heggo, decided that we needed a good, old fashioned, doctrine and after some discussion with the Darth Council it was decided that since the New Pacific Order had abandoned the Moldavi Doctrine in the face of adversity that we should capitalize on the situation like the good opportunists we are. So, even though it was stated that there couldn't be any Moldavi Doctrines by some peace terms or some other such nonsense, it is my damned name so I figure, screw that. Therefore, I, as Dark Lord of the Sith, Sovereign of the New Sith Order, present the Moldavi Doctrine: The Moldavi Doctrine Whereas, it is the opinion of the New Sith Order that all alliances possess naturally the right to act justly in the interests of themselves, their friends, and their allies and as such, optional defense and aggression treaties imply through their very existence that this right is guaranteed not by nature but by the treaties themselves, but recognizing that not all peoples in the Cyberverse yet realize the superfluity of optional defense and aggression treaties, we adopt this doctrine as our sovereign right. Article I The New Sith Order shall retain the option, though not the obligation, to declare war in the defense of any alliance that finds itself the victim of foreign aggression. Reciprocally, the New Sith Order acknowledges that all alliances retain the same option to defend it. Article II The New Sith Order shall retain the option, though not the obligation, to declare war in the support of any alliance that has initiated warfare against another. Reciprocally, the New Sith Order acknowledges that all alliances retain the same option to war in support of it. Article III The New Sith Order shall retain the option, though not the obligation, to share intelligence critical to the security of another alliance with it. Reciprocally, the New Sith Order acknowledges that all alliances retain the same option to share intelligence with it. Article IV This doctrine shall be considered null and void once it is recognized by the rest of the Cyberverse that those rights which it guarantees are, in fact, guaranteed not by it but rather are intrinsic to all alliances. Article V The New Sith Order recognizes the need for such acts to be just and therefore will only invoke the Doctrine if the determined point of interjection has been attacked unjustly or the likewise determined point of support has established a just casus belli. Article VI The New Sith Order will consult with either the determined point of interjection or point of support prior to any official declarations being made. Signed, Ivan Moldavi, Dread Lord of Stromholde, Dark Lord of the Sith, Sovereign of the New Sith Order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sargun II Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Pretty much "we're gonna do what we think is right" except written down. I fully support this. I just wish you didn't have to make a treaty to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He Who Has No Name Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think this is more commonly known as "common sense". Actually, the form that FAN practices is usually referred to as "liberty". It's a beautiful thing, but too many people just don't seem to be able to grasp the abstracts.

Sulmar Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) I'd say chuck Article V. Kind of defeats the whole image of "we don't care what people say". Edited August 9, 2009 by Sulmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrin Xies Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 So... you're essentially saying that the NSO has the right to do whatever, whenever, it pleases? I thought that was the whole idea of sovereignty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Diorno Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 It'll be interesting to see where this leads. I doubt any alliance would willingly throw themselves in front of a bus to defend an alliance they have no obligations towards, but NSO is still a bit young to judge any character from them.

Ivan Moldavi Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'd say chuck Article V. Ah, well, it will be the determination of the Sith whether an act was Just or not, so there may be some room for that which you seek.
