[/quote] [b]The Blue Rules Agreement[/b] Originally brought to TE by Ordo Paradoxia the following agreement is to acknowledge that the sovereign signatories agree to keep the Blue sphere free and unsanctioned. [b]Sanctions[/b] All signatories agree and view that any sanction used against non-rogues is a rogue act of war. Sanctions against Nuclear rogues is the only approved use of sanctions on blue, any sanction request must come from alliance leaders and has to be approved by a unanimous vote by three senators in power. Any rogue senator will be dealt with by a full cycle of attacks or until they are out of the senate nation strength range.

Thomasj_tx Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 As we all know, trades are at best a thorn in our TE saddle, so this may go far in helping everyone have a bit more fun playing. And who knows, may even attract or at least keep more players. Thanks to everyone involved in pulling this off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusion Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 I guess I know what color I'm [i]not[/i] going to use next round. I mean, I understand why you would want this...but WHY?!... Sanctioning is part of the game and it's meant to be used. Good Luck with this, though. o/ Confusion.

[/quote] I'm assuming you've never fought OP, then. Having fought both TPC and LE before, I'd have to say they're at least as good as those two. Good show by the signatories here, it sucks when your trade partner gets sanctioned. An alliance should be able to take on a few (non-nuclear) rogues without the help on sanctions. And I can attest that blue does indeed rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcortell Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I'm not a fan of sanctions personally, but I can see where they are useful in war. I guess I don't mind what you guys are doing, but if I was on the blue I'd probably be mad you announced it in the middle of the round. I think announcing it pre-round or right at the start gives the guys who want/don't want to be that color time to decide.

But as the quote from the original post in this thread shows, Blue was always working on/intended to be Sanction Free. It has now been codified. So at least consider this a "pre-announcement" for Round 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePePe Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Glad to see this finally made official. I look forward to future prosperity on the Blue sphere. Also, is it really that surprising that Blue is the best sphere? I'll answer that one for ya. No it is not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
