This is not a pact meant to take away anyone else right to raid. Yes you have that right to raid, but we have the right to also help those who have been raided. Any alliance interesting in joining, may do so by contacting one of the signatory alliances.

You have to sign a pact in order to help raid victims? You can do this sort of thing without a pact binding you to do so, you know. You don't need to be bound by contract to extend a helping hand or send an informative message. But if it takes a treaty to force you to do something that those against tech raiding have been crying about for years then all the power to you. I suppose it's about time someone took the initiative instead of just complaining and pounding their chests. The only thing I'll be interested in seeing is how long this will last and how effective it will truly be. Good luck.


Oh, and here's something of interest. Notice the date.

3. It's not anyone's right to assist unaligned nations or alliances without protectorate agreements. [/quote]

I'm amused at people who think they have a right to attack anyone who isn't protected by the treaty web, but at the same time argue that nobody has a right to assist anyone who isn't part of the treaty web.

If I see you mug a little old lady, I don't need paperwork to get involved.

Defending small nations from unaligned raiders may actually be a pretty good service to the community. A lot of new players may quit if the first thing that happens to them is if they get raided by some newbie unaligned while they are small.
[/quote]

Londo, why do you think that people who are attacked by an unaligned raider would decide "I need to leave the game, this sucks" and at the same time pretend that if they get raided by an alliance, that they'll be fine with it? Either way, they are getting jumped. If it's one of the raiding alliances, they are probably getting jumped 3 vs 1.

I will challenge this as often as I can, off to find a target. Unalligned people are unalligned by choice. Who are you to force your defence of them upon them?

Raiders are amusing. They like to bully people smaller than they are, but even a hint that someone might actually help the little guy sets the the raiders off screaming and crying.

I see no crying. Only mocking, doubts and mild amusement from my fellow compatriots.

I hate to agree with Alterego here but if they don't want to be techraided they can always join an alliance.
[/quote]

That was true once but no longer. We have seen several raids of decent sized alliances as of late. The return of farce alliances calling themselves GOONS and \m/ and the way they raid has caused a backlash just like before only this time faster. I would be willing to bet we have only begun to see the push back.

We don't need to sign a pact in order to help raid victims. Some of the individual signatories have been helping raid victims before the pact was announced. What the pact allows us to do is coordinate and work with each other in order to efficiently help tech raid victims. Also, this treaty does not force the signatories to help tech raid victims. Thank you for your well wishes.

Most have stated that they would like to see how well we do before signing on.

Raiding was a major source of recruits for \m/ back in the day. We've gotten a few this time around too.
[/quote]

Your raiding is a major source of recruitment for those of us who do not raid as well. :P

Oh good, the mouthpiece for the illegitimate has once again provided his not-so-relevant opinions. There are no steering wheels in the back seat, my man. The only farce is your attempt to stir the drama colada.

For alliances, in the short term this is correct. However, alliance politics being such as they are...

Policy is not always a matter of either one does what is ethical or one does what is pragmatic.

Yes, I never have any idea what I am talking about. In this case however I am just watching watching from the side lines. I don't need to stir this one. However the more you all go on fooling yourselves the easier it will be for the people who are stirring it. Not that they really need any help.

Simple solution: Join an established alliance.

And for the love of admin, don't tell me new nations don't know about alliances.

So much hate coming from the one who actually did the backstabbing, must be some sort of a mental affliction.

Sure, they get flooded with recruitment messages. But why should they have to choose to join one of those alliances quickly if they don't wish to be destroyed?

Your point is moot. You can't be destroyed if you have nothing.

The only person who can tech raid someone of fifty nation strength is another nation of fifty nation strength. Plus international law dictates a nation receives one day to train its soldiers before it may be attacked. That's plenty of time to mull over your options for an alliance.

What can a new nation who, odds are, does not know the methods of global communication or the history of alliances really need to take into account when choosing an alliance?
