DragonsPhyre Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 In the interest of promoting the brown team to new members who do not seek a formal alliance at this time, GATO and NSO have come together to protect the alliance affiliation Brown Trade Partner from unprovoked attacks. We hope that we can grow the brown trade sphere, which has been historically weak for trading, by giving unaligned nations a home where they can grow. We hope this mutually beneficial partnership can help foster new growth for our home in the brown sphere making trading off the cuff easier for all who call the sphere home. Any alliance may recruit from this alliance as well as engage in tech dealing with their nations. We only ask that you screen shot proof of the tech transaction so if any problems arise, we can revoke protection if need be. Nations must be on the brown team and have the AA Brown Trade Partner to receive protection. If they want to declare aggressive wars on their own, that's fine, but they will deal with the consequences on their own. If you believe a nation is using this AA to escape legitimate punishment, just show us cause to revoke their protection and we'll be happy to oblige. The full text of the treaty follows: [quote][u][b][color="#A0522D"][size="5"][center]Brown Trade Partner Protection Accord[/center][/size][/color][/b][/u] [b]Preamble[/b] In an effort to preserve Brown Team economic trade and to grow the Brown trading sphere the undersigned alliances agree to protect the alliance affiliation "Brown Trade Partner" from unprovoked attacks. [b]Article I: Brown Trade Partner Membership[/b] To receive the benefit of protection afforded through this accord nations must be on the Brown Team trading sphere and wear the alliance affiliation Brown Trade Partner. Any nation that fails to meet both conditions of this article will forfeit protection. [b]Article II: Protection[/b] All nations who meet both conditions of Article I will be protected from unprovoked attacks. Signatory alliances will provide diplomatic and if necessary military support. Military means will only be used when all diplomatic efforts have been exhausted. A Brown Trade Partner nation that engages in aggressive action will forfeit protection. [b]Article III: Miscellaneous Provisions[/b] All nations flying the Brown Trade Partner alliance affiliation are free to be recruited by, trade with, and engage in any economic dealings with any nation or alliance. [b]Article IV: Protector Alliances[/b] By signing this accord all undersigned alliances agree to protect the Brown Trade Partner alliance affiliation from unprovoked attacks as outlined in this treaty. Any alliance may sign or leave this accord by informing the other signatories of this accord of their intent to do so.

SirWilliam Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My sovereign right to freely raid will not so easily be infringed on. But seriously, best of luck with this endeavor, and with promoting a more prosperous brown team in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage3 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Good luck...I imagine you will need it. Just to cut to the chase, this is a NONE alternative on Brown that will be administered by the two alliances named here. Will there be some activity or other membership requirements or can anyone on Brown simply sit on this "AA" and receive protection? Finally, will the protection be of a military nature or simply diplomatic to free raided nations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to see how it goes. Not all the benefits and drawbacks are going to be immediately apparent. If it fails, then at least we have tried it and seen it for ourselves. If it works like I believe it will, then Brown will be a more vibrant trading environment and all Brown residents can reap the benefits. This is why it's a cooperative effort.

These nations are those who simply want to play without joining an alliance. They forfit protection if they partcipate in aggressive wars. GATOs policy on protection is always diplomacy first. Why waste the money and energy on a war when you can simply ask nicely? Usually works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nutkase Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) I congratulate NSO and GATO on making such a bold move and hope it works out for the best. I once tried to make something along these lines, only to be laughed at and mocked. Glad to see someone else thinks along the same lines.

[/quote] Yeah, at the time this was being discussed FnKA was not yet on brown. This isn't at all an anti-raiding statement or anything of that sort. This is a we need some more nations on brown because the trading situation is pretty dire kind of thing. This may not add significant numbers to brown but without a large alliance moving over (not likely)then this is probably one of the better ideas to get some sort of flow over to the brown sphere. This kind of thing would probably have a better effect on blue, green, red, and black. The common starting spheres. As one of the smallest trading spheres we kind of need some sort of advantage when it comes to garnering nations for our trading pool. I hope this helps.
