potato Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Friendship doesn't always start well. For a long time, despite the efforts of the best diplomats, ODN and MK didn't see eye to eye. Even holding a ToA didn't work out. Different paths, different views, different attitudes... And then... And then there was a PIAT. And then there is this MDoAP between two great alliances, two great friends... Who am I fooling? I threatened both of them to come out of retirement if they didn't upgrade soon. So here it is... The "Title Pending" MK-ODN MDoAP, which I secretly call "We Both Had potato And All We Got Is This Lousy Treaty" Title Pending Preamble Recognizing our strong friendship, our common dedication to success, and to of course ensure the safety of both alliances from external attacks, the Orange Defense Network and the Mushroom Kingdom agree to these terms of mutual defense. Article I Both signatories recognize that this pact is not a merger of the two alliances, and that both alliances will retain their full and complete sovereignty. Neither signatory shall take any action that could potentially infringe on the sovereignty of the other. Article II Both signatories recognize the importance of strong and constant communication both during war and in peace and will remain in contact through IRC, on forums, and/or through another means of communication. If either signatory receives information detailing a threat towards the other (direct aggression, threat of war, espionage, etc), they are obliged to inform them immediately. Article III Any direct attack on either signatory should be seen as an attack on both, and thus initiating the mobilization of both signatories' armed forces (this includes espionage and rogue attacks). Both signatories are obliged to provide military and financial aid to the other if requested. The respective parties are not obliged to offer assistance should either signatory alliance become involved in a conflict via other treaties with other alliances or blocs. Either signatory alliance may offer assistance in such an event but any assistance would be voluntary. Article IV If one party finds itself as an instigator in a conflict, the other party may join in if they feel the cause is valid, and the conduct just. Otherwise they may refuse services. Article V Neither signatory will take actions that could potentially damage the other. Neither will provide aid or sanctuary to any enemy of the other signatory despite their relationship with that enemy. Neither will engage in attacks, either through military or espionage, against the other and will work to resolve any disputes that may from time to time emerge between their respective members. Article VI If either signatory wishes to terminate these accords, they must provide the other with at least 48 hours notice, at which time both signatories will enter into discussions to determine if reasons for termination can be resolved. If they cannot, the termination of the accords will proceed 48 hours from the date of announcement. Any violation of these accords is grounds for immediate termination, but discussion to resolve the problem is strongly encouraged.

Mathias Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 It's optional and C&G is ODN's new masters. Now that all possible jokes are out of the way, we can have a safe and hail filled thread. Congrats to ODN and MK on this treaty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just because it took days to hash out a name and there were a lot of good suggestions, I'm going to share some of them. We're Unsure whether to name this treaty after Pingu or notUnsure Defense Treaty United for Orange At first I was Unsure, I was putrefied, Kept hopin I could live without you by my side "This is the last chance ODN has as an alliance otherwise we roll them" The Not Sure Accords The Pingtatsure Accords Unsure's Frozen Hell ODN-MK MDoAP There's No Denying We're Unsure About This Treaty But Thank Admin Part Of It At Least Is Optional This treaty took so long to name because everyone wanted to have their own name in the title, so now nobody gets their name in it Unsure Defense Network The Treaty of 500k Tech The Race to 500k Treaties "The Treaty That Made Pingu Swear. Also Unsure, potato, Joracy, and Other People Whose Names Have To Be On It" We had some... discussions about who would get their names on it. They did not end well.

Pingu Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 No ODNers below the rank of applicant may post in this thread. It may be potato's fault, but I blame Unsure. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. For now. Also - we're doomed, shenanigans, optional rabble rabble, don't betray the shrooms, ODN, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataduanes Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Man its been a long haul to get to this point, many thanks to all the Shroomsters who were willing to look at ODN with an open mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
