Xiao Weng Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The Mouth of the Brain Speak'th. A few weeks ago, The Brain was blessed with a few members of The Global Security Alliance (known here on out as GSA) in the ol' IRC channel. They were looking for some kind of treaty. GSA is comparatively small, and the Brain is comparatively wary. Now, anyone who has had to deal with our PON Freelancer (and who hasn't?) will undeniably know he was not terribly keen on this plan. When it turned out that GSA was in fact looking for a protectorate agreement, the Brain's synapses began firing at nigh-ridiculous levels throughout the cranium. After consultation with the Brain Trust and PONs, the CNS in its braintasmic wisdom decided to draw up a well drafted, finely crafted document to allow GSA to grow peacefully under its wing...er...lobe. We found some of their members quite friendly, and figured if we could lend a helping hand then why not? Of course it also provides our Minister of Defense a few... toys (wink, wink....nudge, nudge). After all, it's our way of giving back. We were - and in comparison still are - a small alliance. We've seen our share of support from larger friends. Really, it was a no-brainer. So here ya have it, in all it's final drafty glory. The Brain hereby announces that it will be using its brainy tendrils in service of acting as a PROTECTORATE to the good people of the Global Security Alliance (hereby known as "The GSA"). We had a kind hand on our shoulders as we stumbled blind and naked through our infancy, and this is our way of giving back to the community. Or, more accurately, this is our way of giving back to one alliance that is completely unrelated to our protectorate alliance. You get the picture.And so, without further ado, let's get the boring stuff out of the way: Article 1, concerning identity retention: This document doesn't imply that The Brain and The GSA are one alliance. We're just helping a brother out. Article 2, concerning Protection of the Tendriliest nature: Duh. The Brain agrees to provide protection for The GSA from both baddies and naysayers. And tech raiders. And jerks. Article 3, concerning other fun things: The GSA agrees to participate in tech deals with The Brain. The GSA agrees to consult with The Brain before undertaking any action that would threaten the interests of either The GSA or The Brain. The GSA agrees not to importune people from The Brain. The Brain agrees not to heckle folks from The GSA. Article 4, concerning treaty breakage: If either The Brain or The GSA gets all stuck up wants to break off the this protectorate agreement, 48 hours' notice shall be given. An evaluation shall be scheduled 90 days from the date of this treaty's announcement to determine whether the protectorate shall continue, or whether The GSA is ready to set forth on its own, free of the slave-like bonds imposed on it by its cruel protectors (The Brain). Article 5, concerning asshattery, and related to Article 4: Any actions by The GSA that do not conform to these boring terms of treatise represent asshattery, and will bring about an immediate enforcement of treaty breakage, sans 48 hour notice. The Brain will then hold its hands up and look around innocently. There. Now that all that is out of the way, let's have cake. Or pie. Or any other number of delicious desserts. Now, when all is said and done, you may be asking yourself, "Do Brains even *have* tendrils?" Well you just keep asking yourself that question, cowpoke. You just keep asking.

KaitlinK Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 You have chosen exceptionally well GSA. The Brain is an exceptional alliance with personality, experienced members and most importantly a strong sense of loyalty and commitment to those they call allies. A couple of things to know about your Protectors... 1) Xiao's lawn is not to be stepped on. 2) Freelancers bite is worse than his bark. 3) TheRagu loves his beard as do the ladies 4) They dont come any better than Mr3looc and Shane o/ The Brain o/ GSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Lightning Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I can't wait for a Zombie alliance to try eating you (VE maybe?). Post more announcements until then, though. I'm a bit of a Brain fanboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphon88 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Damn, well played GSA, you're not going to do much better than The Brain for protectors. Good to see the Brain is promoting the cognitive and general development of another alliance. Remember lots of Protein! I recommend feeding them doses of KitKatFox for this purpose. o/ The Brain o/ GSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
