An Announcement From The Legion

[PrinceArutha]

interesting move indeed.


Ave Legion!

[Magister Agricolarum]

Good luck to you, Legion, and the best of luck.

As brought up by others, this is basically symbolic as Legion still holds treaties of a higher level than Poseidon with every Poseidon signatory other than Olympus. This had been discussed several times in the past and each time eventually shot down, I wonder what prompted the change in opinion

Sorry to be the boogie man here but that Legion still holds treaties with other alliances doesn't mean those won't get cancelled as well. It's not the first time it have happened. However, this doesn't mean they will cancel but the option remains

Thats very true, yet considering that I was #2 of The Legion just 2 months ago and have stayed fairly well informed about their policies through various sources, I'm doubting the likelihood of them pulling a LoSS out of the blue. However, if they do decide to go that route I'd be impressed at how someone managed to make the powers that be make a full 180. Time to propose that iFOK-Legion MDoAP eh?

Five biggest, actually.

Didn't know Invicta had left, when did that happen?

However, most of purple is still tied to each other via individual treaties. This is a reshuffle of priorities by some. TBH, the larger alliances leaving just tells me they have other plans. Some have stated lack of direction or different interests. TBH a larger alliance leaving a bloc over differences of opinion honestly tells me some other things about that alliance and its strengths, not things about the bloc itself.

That being said, I wish Legion the best in your travels. I've had some really interesting conversations with you all and look forward to continued relations regardless of treaty situation.

You honestly think so?

Invicta left a bit after this war wrapped up, UPN left pre-war, Legion has left, and iFOK and some other Stickman alliance are both larger than the remaining Poseidon signatories, so the 5 largest Purple alliances aren't in it.

This makes me sad no matter how much I can understand and relate to it all.

Fair enough. I guess time will tell if this is the start of a new FA direction or that it is just to cut down on redundancy.

Actually, Legion dropping out of the ex-Hegemony orbit would represent a return to the alliance's roots, and therefore a (very delayed) 360.

(This ex-Legionnaire tends to take the long view.)

[Lukcia]

Good move. Hope you continue to grow and fight for sanction.

This seems like a smart move. Good job, Legion.
[/quote]

I disagree.. I'm disheartened by the slow drifting of relations in the Purple sphere... I was there when this all came to fruition and know that the purple alliances are a great group. I hope that in time, relations can regrow to the "Purple Love" that all the alliances once shared! Best of luck to Legion and the remaining members of P.E.A.C.E.

May Purple once again be united in strength and purpose.

I still say you should push that iFOK-Legion treaty you know you've been keeping in your hope chest.

Thats true. One can always hope right?

[Supreme 142]

Good luck to you Legion. M*A*S*H <3s you.

[Mr. Teets]

Sad to see, but I can't say it wasn't expected.

Good luck to you in your future.

M*A*S*H and iFOK are the third and fourth-largest purple alliances, respectively.

Thing is, both power spheres have traditional Legion enemies.

NPO or \m/...

The great thing about having such a long history is that we're basically following our roots whoever we decide to try and kill. It's great!

We're traditional enemies? We only attacked you for no good reason once.

LOL. True, and we returned the favor, but with a good reason.

As Imperator of the Legion, I can safely say the Legion has no plans whatsoever in canceling any of our treaties with the remaining Poseidon signatories.

[Coursca]

Very interesting development.

Good luck to all involved parties.

[King William IV]

Best of luck to my former alliance mates and I know this was a tough decision.
