The Cooltoye Doctrine (ARES)


Recommended Posts

In only a week, NNK, CR, NpO, and even my own alliance ARES has retaliated against a foreign alliance's Nation with out diplomacy, or warning. These are mearly the events ARES are involved in. The enire world of planet bob has simular events. Retaliation with out warning, or diplomacy can not be tolerated in any alliance government. So I apeal to the alliances of planet bob to agree to stand strong against such policies and actions. We must remember keeping a nation intact is best, destroying a nation second best, as attaining one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the pinnacle of perfection. Rather victory with-out fighting a single battle is the true pinnacle of perfection. Zero Infrastructure is not a punishment to be taken lightly, as prolonged war takes a toll on both sides not just the victor.

When you retaliate against another alliance's member, you must warn that alliance of the situation, otherwise it can be seen as you are the attackers. When you retaliate against another alliance's member, you must use diplomacy first, because you may not have the full story, as peace may not have been accepted, or the situation's point of view may have been destorted.

It is better to get reparations from a nation, than to send them into anarchy, and request reparations when they can not afford it. If a officer of your alliance ups and joins another alliance with out warning, you must first find out why before attacking them on the grounds of spying, because after you attack them, you will have a damn hard time finding out any information about reason, explaination, or anything else for that matter. The logic these days on planet bob seem to be flawed. Retaliation seems to be a form of screwing yourself, rather than a form of justice these days.

Point of view is retorical, as no two people see the same situation the same. retaliation by one may be a war crime to another. we must always conduct diplomacy, and give warning before any retaliation to any offenses. I will like to know here and now How many Alliance leaders agree to stand against such policies, this is my pledge here and now, to not retaliate with out warning, or diplomatic reasoning before hand. How many of you will make the same pledge?



Signed,
ARES Senator, and Deputy Minister of War,
Cooltoye

Time is critical. FAR nations are expected to immediately militarize and retaliate against attacks and fellow FAR nations are asked to be ready to help out their fellow alliance member.

When one of our nations is attacked we immediately try to find out the reason for it, but by no means will we be waiting and giving up any advantage to an aggressor.

So no this leader and this alliance cannot pledge to this as we will deal with situations on a case by case basis.

It means both sides take time and take a look from the other persons prospective before you go and hit a person. Instead of jumping the gun and attacking someone from something that you aren't 100% sure on, you should go and talk to said person before you go and attack them. Which in the end could cause a war.

Glad to see you voicing this out.

I don't think the word you're trying to spell means what you think it means. Unless you're implying that the phrase itself hints at there only being one point of view; which is sort of antithetical to its existence.

why not attack the person while trying to talk diplomatically?

govt members are not on 24/7 so even if a representative from your alliance is trying to contact them in-game/their forums/IRC, there is still a high chance you wont be able to get a hold of them for hours or even days

if your members are actively watching the war screens and are able to jump the guy then they are essentially lessening the damage to your other member and deterring the guy from any future attacks are they not?

plus if the guy is a ghost/rogue then there's always that chance that peace wont be declared no matter what govt contacts them and reps will never be given.

i can see where you are coming from on both sides but the practice of deterrence is usually more effective than diplomacy from what i've seen

but he is a field marshal which means war dept of ARES right? if so wouldnt he have the power to tell nations to stand down about attacks?

also find it funny that he says "Zero Infrastructure is not a punishment to be taken lightly" , yet his bio threatens permanent Anarchy :P

To be honest I would NEVER request reps of ARES ever and you should take the military action first. When ARES guy nuked me after peace was declared (he waited days after peace and on the last day nuked me) You guys sucked at paying reps, you dragged your heels and had me chasing the money/tech. I eventually got that tired with the whole process, I just told you to keep the remaining 8 mil and 200 tech.

And your here whining about how people should take reps? From ARES? You're kidding?

It is called the cooltoye doctrine because it is my own policy, I am not require anyone to fallow it, But I will not give a order to destroy a nation with out 1st warning their alliance, of why, or with out diplomatic attempts

A doctrine is a codification of beliefs

this is cooltoye doctrine so it is my personal policies

Making an "Alliance Announcement" with the name of your alliance in the title, and your government positions listed, would suggest that it wasn't. Perhaps the idea should have lain fallow for awhile before being brought into fruition.

So why do they need to be posted in Alliance Announcements, under the guise of an ARES announcement? All I can see from that is that you're trying to illicit some sort of reaction, and when we tell you that (generally) people are smart enough to make the decision yourself, you claim it's only "your personal policy"

You're tired of having to deal with the situations you describe above, I assume ;) I know the feeling.

Absolutely not. If someone is attacking my member, I'm going to have them trashed. In the mean time, I'll find out what originated the attack and why it is happening, and deal with it appropriately. One of the biggest purposes of an alliance is joint military protection. You attack a member of Kronos, you will not leave the ordeal in tact. Period.

Quite a bit of fail here...but duly noted.

To retort: CR handled the situation with nato12 with great professionalism. Please read the entire thread and understand all the actors in the play before making judgments on our decisions. Hell, I'm the MoFA for DT and we're protecting CR...I have no problem with throwing diplomacy out the window when a nation repeatedly attempts to extort our ally.
