Well, I guess he was fitting in the character profile of your previous emperor. [/quote] Indeed. Good luck to those who chose to stay around with JB in charge. Well anyone who was active enough to notice anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally thought that adding a DOS was redundant, since honoring our treaty IS already a DOS, but I got overruled. So there. We love youse guys. And since we were already best of buds with GGA before this transition thing, we wish nothin' but the best for all the others involved too. Now that that's outta the way, where's the beer?[/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reagan1 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Desperate times call for desperate measures. I believe this move was much needed and I applaud you guys for having the balls and the determination to do it. Good luck, GGA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuHamster Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 I thought I read somewhere that none of the transitionary gov would be in the final gov... guess that worked out well. It might be too late...but DerekJones for emperor? I mean if you let Brookbank in and to emperor in 16 days, surely you can't disqualify DerekJones. Also: updated -40 members since prior government was overthown. Right now there are 61, for anyone that wants to watch in the next few days. Lastly: Your webpage/forum doesn't reflect this.

Wad of Lint Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 [quote] A. Sovereignty - The Grand Global Alliance reserves its sovereign right to declare war in any situation it deems necessary. This includes, but is not limited to, support and defense of friends whom we may not be allied to by treaty.

"As such, each and every former GGA member will always remain bonded to our family, and any such prodigals (meant in an allusive sense and not a literal sense) that feel the urge to return may do so, as now is a time for great unity and healing."

All the same i wish you the best of luck for the future and hope this is the start of something grand. [/quote] I think the charter quote relates to some internal issues that took place a while back, and resulted in members quitting/being thrown out. Whereas "shameful rats" was aimed at deserters(?). At least that's how I understand this. I might be a trium-system supporter, but I know a good charter when I see it. It will be interesting to watch how you regain your place among top alliances. It's the times of need when any group or entity can show it's true value. This document should be a good tool in a way towards might. Also - I like the whole feudal scheme, so points for that.

We don't get knighted in democracy [/quote] Agreed with this, I like the Idea of the Feudal System where more active members get the higher ranks. Often times in a democracy people get into positions they don't deserve (or rather they can't handle), this seems like a pretty cool Idea with the Paladins/Cavaliers/Knights etc. although not to sound like a "Boo Democracy" person, Democracy's got it's perks over fuedalism too. Hope this system works out for you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well....Bryon's voice is an official voice of the FA of the GGA, since he is the MoFA, so thats fun...guess not everyone wants to make friends with those in the past. EDIT: Adding another point. Why the hatred directed at Squires? The bit in the charter about them is filled with contempt. Further, do they count as part of the vote when it says 75% of all membership? cause it does say all, but at the same time, it says they have no voice in alliance affairs...but they are still a member, just a little confused.
