James Maximus Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Within every man lives a reptile, within the reptile resides an urge to break out of the norm. Within the hard shell is a cold-blooded killer demanding to break out. With this in mind, we have decided to band together under the same ideology, and to fight back against the world. Therefore, I am happy to announce the formation of The Killer Turtle Brigade. *Ehem* With that being said I present to you a little bit of info about our alliance. TKTB will be a blue team alliance, we'll be working with fellow blue alliances to acquire trade circles on the blue sphere as a few of us do not currently reside there. Our forums are located at http://tktb.co.cc/ and we can be found on IRC at #TKTB on coldfront. Our current charter is as follows: I. Preamble Through the water and the waves, The Killer Turtle Brigade henceforth known as TKTB carry on. We, the “Brigade”, have gathered together to protect our fellow Turtles, to promote the sovereignty of our nations, and to promote our prosperity. II. Admission Any nation may request membership into The Killer Turtle Brigade as long as the nation is not on a ZI list of any kind. A nation at war, cannot join TKTB until peace is obtained. In order to apply, that nation must follow our application procedures and post an application on the forums. All applications must be approved by The Turtle Overlord or Grand Turtle. III. Government Structure A. The Turtle Overlord TKTB shall be run by a Emperor, known as The Turtle Overlord. The Turtle Overlord has complete power over the alliance. He can make any ruling, or overrule and subordinate government as seen fit. The Turtle Overlord reserves the right to veto or cancel any treaties. The Turtle Overlord has the power to appoint or demote Ninja Turtles as seen fit. The Turtle Overlord may expel any member as he sees fit. The position of the Turtle Overlord is lifelong or until he resigns. All power not specifically distributed in this charter belongs to the Turtle Overlord. B. The Grand Turtle The Grand Turtle is the Second in command of The Killer Turtle Brigade. Should the Turtle Overlord be absent for a period of 3 days or need to take a break the Grand Turtle will fill in as Acting Emperor until the Turtle Overlord returns. The Grand Turtle will also see over all the Ninja Turtles and will suggest a new Ninja Turtle to the Turtle Overlord if one fails to do his/her job. The Grand Turtles signature is required on all treaties and/or Declarations of War. C. The Ninja Turtles The Ninja Turtles, shall help the Turtle Overlord in running the alliance. There shall be four Ninja Turtles, appointed by the Turtle Overlord. Each Ninja Turtle shall be responsible for running a specific area of the alliance. Each Ninja Turtle has equal power and is directly subordinate to the Turtle Overlord and Grand Turtle. Each Ninja Turtle is allowed to have Baby Turtles (deputies) to help them complete their tasks. All deputies must be approved by the Turtle Overlord. The four Ninja Turtles and their responsibilities are henceforth (At any time of The Turtle Overlord may ask them to do something not pertaining to their original job outline): NToFA: The Ninja Turtle of Foreign Affairs shall establish relations with other alliances, and organize our own ambassadors. NToW: The Ninja Turtle of War shall prep the Shell Troopers and will command them during times of war. NToIA: The Ninja Turtle of Internal Affairs shall keep the inside of TKTB running smoothly by mass messaging important notices, educating members, handling ghosts, ect. NToF: The Ninja Turtle of Finance shall help members of TKTB get trades/tech deals and distribute aid to help grow our nations. IV. War A.Conduct of War Diplomacy will always be the first choice of TKTB but in the unfortunate event that a war occurs, a declaration of war against another alliance must be approved by The Turtle Overlord and Grand Turtle. TKTB reserves the right to nuke first in the course of an alliance wide war. The act of spying away a nuclear missile from a nation of TKTB will be considered a first strike. No nation, (unless specified otherwise) is allowed to conduct spy operations out of wartime situations. Any member found guilty of this shall meet the appropriate repercussions. B. End of war protocol In the event of a victorious war The Killer Turtle Brigade well not demand reparations from a defensive party nor will we inflict terms that infringe upon the sovereign rights of another alliance. In the event of a defeat The Killer Turtle Brigade will not accept terms that infringe upon our sovereignty including but not limited to, the cancellation of treaties, banning of members or the changing of any internal workings of the alliance. This article may not be amended in war time. C. Tech raiding The Killer Turtle Brigade recognize the sovereignty of each nation on planet bob and will not partake in technology/land raiding. D. ZI listings The Killer Turtle Brigade retains the right to sentence nations to single ZI The Killer Turtle Brigade dismisses the right to keep a nation at permanent Zero Infrastructure The Killer Turtle Brigade dismisses the right to keep an OOC ruler at eternal Zero Infrastructure VI. Amendments In order for the charter to become amended, a motion must be brought forward by any member of the alliance. Following public discussion, there shall be a private discussion by The Killer Turtle Brigade government. The Turtle Overlord and Grand Turtle will then decide if the amendment is in the alliances best interest and will pass/deny the proposition. So in conclusion... TKTB, we're kinda like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Polaris will be protecting The Killer Turtle Brigade. Good luck to them! It's a Cold Day in Shell Article I: The Basics Due to the bond that exists between the signatories, member nations of each signatory will show respect and good will towards each other. While this will prohibit outright verbal hostility in all its forms in public forums, it will not restrict healthy debate or productive disagreement. Should this article ever be infringed upon, it is the duty of the respective alliance leaders to alert the other alliance. Article II: Espionage Both signatories share an abhorrence for the practice of spying in all its forms. As such, they pledge not to conduct or aid any espionage, and to immediately inform the other signatory if any plot be discovered. In addition to this, The Killer Turtle Brigade pledges to report any and all discovered incidents of spying against anyone or organization to the New Polar Order. Article III: Aid Should either signatory come into a need for aid in the form of currency, technology, or soldiers, it is strongly encouraged for the other signatory to provide what help it can, though both parties accept that this is in no way an obligation. Article IV: Intelligence If either signatory comes into knowledge of political or military significance to the other through a means not outlined in Article II it is their obligation to share it with the other signatory. Article V: Conflict The New Polar Order fully commits itself to the defense of its protectorate through direct military action as well as, though not limited to, financial and political means. Should the New Polar Order come under attack, it is strongly encouraged that The Killer Turtle Brigade comes to their defense, though it is understood by both signatories that this is not an obligation. Should either signatory find itself in the need for waging an aggressive war, let it come to no ones surprise if the other signatory, who is not in any means under an obligation, chooses to support them through military, political or financial means. Article VI: Advisor In an effort to help improve the stability and security of The Killer Turtle Brigade, the Emperor of the New Polar Order is well within his rights to appoint a member of the Polar Body Republic to act as an Advisor to them. While the Advisor will have unfettered access within the protectorate, and a veto power over any treaty or merger offers, it's primary goal is to serve as a general counsel to the leadership of the protectorate. Article VII: Technology In an effort to foster mutual economic growth The Killer Turtle Brigade agrees to focus all external technology sales to the New Polar Order. In return, the New Polar Order will offer assistance and advice to maximize economic growth. Article VIII: The End It is the hope of both signatories that this pact may someday be ended by mutual agreement that The Killer Turtle Brigade is able to stand on its own without further Polar support. But, given the uncertainties of the future, it is recognized that should any of the above Articles be violated, or should some major irreparable disagreement that diplomacy cannot solve arise, that this pact maybe canceled after 5 days notice.

The FSM Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 I think its saying something about this place when you can be an alliance with a theme as off the beaten path as turtles and you still arent original. With that said, I wish you all the best. -FS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
