Mason Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Let me begin by saying that I've played this game for the better part of 4 years now. It's been a journey. I've made a lot of friends along the way, and I've made a lot of mistakes. Most of us you have been around long enough, I'm sure could say the same. In the end, the goal is to have fun and that's something we could all spend a little more time focusing on. I've tried my hand at alliance creation and I've experienced both failure and success. I've learned from many people and probably not thanked enough of them. A friend once told me that diversity adds richness to anything. It takes different people writing chapters to make a book. I have laid the foundation for what I believe will become a great alliance, and I eagerly anticipate reading the chapters that our members write to create the legacy that will be the UNSC....... [b] The year is 2553. The Human-Covenant war is finally over. The United Nations Space Command (UNSC) has begun efforts to restore colonies damaged by the Covenant in the most devastating war ever waged against humanity. Many were lost, and thus scout teams, using slipstream technology, resume their exploration missions to discover new planets to colonize as well. In the outer realm, the [i]UNSC Future[/i] discovers something unexpected; a planet with a mirror image to Earth, inhabited by other humans. The discovery is unprecedented. Recon teams are sent to research the planet and document their findings. The results are alarming, and unexplainable. Not only do humans inhabit this planet, but it supports a duplicate eco system and the civilization is evolved, although not as advanced as that of Earth. Yet, every aspect of Earth exists here, from countries, to cultures, to governments, food, entertainment, crime, and war. Here, the year is 2010, and the planet is Digiterra. Somehow, this planet avoided detection by the Flood, a parasitic organism responsible for the destruction of billions across the galaxy. Also escaping the onslaught of the Covenant, people here have lived a relatively peaceful existence, facing only threats from those on their own world. It is seemingly a perfect outpost for a new UNSC Command Headquarters, but things are not always what they seem. And so begins the next chapter.[/b] [center][img]http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/15/80/18/24/doe10.png[/img] We proudly announce our existence as a new, multi-color alliance.

Enrage Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 [quote][center][img]http://i60.servimg.com/u/f60/15/80/18/24/dualfl10.png[/img][/center] [b]Preamble[/b] The World Federation and UNSC: * Aiming at the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; * Aspiring to develop friendly relations and co-operation between them; * Seeking a pathway that will lead to full and frank communication between them; * Desiring to ensure lasting security for both alliances and in particular to avoid espionage and the threat or use of force between them; * Deciding to establish peace between them in accordance with these Protocols for Espionage and Armed Conflict Eradication; Have agreed as follows: [b]Article I – ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACE[/b] Peace is hereby established between the World Federation and UNSC (the "signatory alliances") effective from the exchange of the instruments of ratification of these protocols. [b]Article II – SOVEREIGNTY[/b] Both of the signatory alliances and their respective member nations recognize and will respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. They recognize and will respect each other's right to live in peace within their respective alliances. They will develop good neighborly relations of co-operation between them to ensure lasting security. They will refrain from espionage and the threat or use of force against each other and will settle all disputes between them by peaceful means. [b]Article III – COMMUNICATION[/b] In signing these protocols, both signatory alliances recognize that full and frank communication is the foundation for a strong and enduring relationship and that there is mutual benefit for both alliances when open communication between them is maintained. To that end, both signatory alliances agree to productive two-way inter-alliance communication: IIIa. The signatory alliances agree that whenever a situation arises which involves provisions within these protocols or other issues of mutual concern; there shall be full and frank communication between the signatory alliances. IIIb. The signatory alliances shall encourage and promote effective methods of dispute resolution between the signatory alliances and their respective member nations. IIIc. The signatory alliances commit to frequent and recurring dialog on each others forums and IRC channels. This commitment is based on the view that open access to each others communication channels is essential to the rapid and efficient inter-alliance communication. This shall include communication at the alliance leadership level where on an as needed basis, representatives of the highest decision making bodies of the signatory alliances will jointly meet to discuss issues of mutual concern. This shall be in addition to routine diplomatic communications and the regular communication between normal member nations. [b]Article IV – OVERT HOSTILE ACTIVITIES[/b] Neither signatory alliance will knowingly engage in the use of sanctions against member nations of the other signatory alliance without formal, written permission from the other signatory alliance. Neither signatory alliance shall endorse, fund, approve or engage in military action against the other signatory alliance. If an individual member nation of either signatory alliance is found in violation of this article, it shall be directed to offer peace and reparations equivalent to a minimum of 1.5 times the total damages inflicted. Though not required, defending nations shall be encouraged to defer reprisal actions until a diplomatic solution can be reached. IVa. Should the offending member nation of a signatory alliance refuse to offer peace and agree on reparations terms, said member nation will be declared a rogue and will no longer be offered the protection of either signatory alliance. IVb. If a signatory alliance violates this article, such activity shall be considered an act of war. [b]Article V – COVERT HOSTILE ACTIVITIES[/b] Neither signatory alliance shall knowingly endorse, fund, approve or engage in espionage or other covert action against the other signatory alliance. Both signatory alliances agree not to actively or passively recruit member nations of the other alliance for the purpose of committing espionage. If either signatory alliance collects intelligence regarding a security breach or a credible threat concerning the other signatory alliance, the acquiring signatory alliance will convey all pertinent information in their possession to the other signatory alliance. Va. Should a member nation of a signatory alliance violate this article, said member nation will be declared a rogue and will no longer be offered the protection of either signatory alliance. Vb. If a signatory Alliance violates this article, such activity shall be considered an act of war. [b]Article VI – RECIPROCAL DEFENSE[/b] Protectorate: Should UNSC come under attack by a foreign power, the World Federation, at the request of UNSC, shall immediately provide military assistance as well as, but not limited to, financial, political and such other assets it has at its disposal. Should the World Federation come under attack, UNSC is encouraged but is not obligated to provide the World Federation with such assistance as it is able to muster, be it military, political or financial or other assets. [b]Article VII – RECOVERY AID[/b] In the event of conflict involving only one of the signatory alliances, upon cessation of hostilities and barring other conflicting treaty obligations, the non-combatant signatory alliance shall encourage its individual member nations to voluntarily provide recovery aid to individual member nations of the war-torn signatory alliance. In the event of conflict involving both of the signatory alliances, upon cessation of hostilities and barring other conflicting treaty obligations, both signatory alliances shall encourage its individual member nations to voluntarily provide recovery aid to individual member nations of the war-torn signatory alliances regardless of alliance membership. [b]Article VIII – CIVILITY[/b] Both signatory alliances shall be resolute in their insistence that their respective members remain polite and civil to each other at all times, especially in public forums and other public venues. [b]Article IX - EVALUATION & EXPIRATION[/b] 6 months following the announcement of these accords, these terms shall automatically expire, standing null and void from that day forward. The signatory alliances may decide to upgrade, downgrade, retain, or cancel the treaty entirely before or after said expiration is reached. [b]Article X – AMENDMENTS[/b] When this treaty requires revision, the signatory alliances will mutually discuss and agree on new terms. The amended terms to this treaty are effective following a 48-hour amendment activation time frame. Either signatory alliance may unilaterally revoke the amendment so long as the 48-hour amendment activation time frame has not concluded. [b]Article XI – RATIFICATION[/b] These protocols shall be ratified by both signatory alliances in conformity with their respective procedures. [b]Article XI – TERMINATION[/b] Either signatory alliance may terminate this compact at any time by providing the other signatory alliance with a 48 hour notice of intent to terminate. This compact is automatically terminated when either signatory alliance violates Article IV, V or VI of this compact. This compact has an expiration date, as stated in Article IX, and upon that date it shall stand null and void unless renewed as specified.

Octavion Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I'd like to thank The Brain for the last 2 years I've spent with them. It's been great. A great group, who helped teach me the ropes of CN (and helped me rebuild after an unplanned reroll... lol). Looking now to the future, I hope to help the UNSC to become one of the premier alliances in CN. I will look to build on my experiences in The Brain while serving in my new capacity as Head of the UNSC Exploratory Division. o/ UNSC o/ wF o/ My friends at The Brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
