Although said consequence may arrive belated, still must it arise from deserving action, and once meted the subject must be purged of responsibility to face further consequence for the same action, even if not exonerated for the original act. However, an action it is not to merely exist. Nor is it worthy of consequence to simply exist at a level of strength and prosperity that others may find disagreeable. Sins past, once suffered for, must be absolved. Respect must be maintained for the sanctity of the unconnected bystander's wish to remain uninvolved in an affair. Without placing such limitations upon ourselves, we break down our entire society. Of the traits attributed to Avalon by those who know us best, 'swiftness of action' is not typically one found. Rather history has demonstrated that we plod at a slow and measured pace. This stems from a preference to be guilty of the fault of inaction, as opposed to the far more egregious fault of improper action. Although not best known for snap decisions, we are known for making resolute decisions. Once a conclusion is reached on a course of action we commit, secure that it is the honourable and proper path. It is in this spirit of patient and reasoned temperance that we observed the current global strife. A few stood out from the others filling us with an overwhelming depth of sadness as we witnessed their display of an absolute disregard for decent civilized convention, respect, and courtesy, as well as a desire to bring harm to uninvolved innocents of the world. This is quite simply unacceptable behavior. Such unrestrained depraved barbarism can not in good conscience be permitted to go unchecked. Thusly at the mutual decision of The Phoenix Federation and Avalon, for a cause found to be in good faith and honourable as per our Oathe of Brotherhood, Avalon hereby issues this proclamation declaring that a state of war now exists between our island nation and the Doom House BLOC. Avalon enters into this conflict to take a stand against the loathesome precedents being set by Doom House in this war and to uphold our sacred bond to our Brothers and Sisters in The Phoenix Federation and their esteemed allies. In the prosecution of this war Avalon seeks only the cessation of attacks by the Doom House BLOC upon The Phoenix Federation and their allies likewise unjustly engaged. The moment this is achieved shall be a joyous one as that is the moment that peace can once again settle upon our blessed shores. May Admin have mercy upon us all, may the Mods in heaven guide and protect both sides in this conflict, bringing a swift victory to the just. Long Live The Phoenix Federation! Long Live Avalon! Long Live Doom House! Mods Save The Queen!

[center][img]http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1487/avalonprop1.jpg[/img][/center] NPO's friends jumped in to help out, a fight broke out ending up on Avalon's lawn where some garden gnomes got busted. Avalon being cranky old war vets don't like people on our lawn and get all flashbacky. So we took our M1 and told DH to get off our lawn.

Beauty Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) Avalon is one of the most honorable and loyal allies ive ever seen in CN, Facing certain defeat in the TPF Resistance Movement but hanging in there for TPF and now entering the Doomhouse war in support of TPF once again, You got a good group there TPF, Never let them go. o/ Avalon Edited February 6, 2011 by Rotavele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we take longer with flags than we do with DoW's [quote name='Sandwich Controversy' timestamp='1297006168' post='2622140'] Thanks for this [/quote] Your welcome, thank you for having nations that know how to fight well.

[/quote] Actually we are not engaging GOONS nations, they have enough people on them, it is not our way to get involved in such a pile on. However we figured it would just make things simpler if we declared on DH as an entity given that it was already stated that DH sees any such DoW on one as the same as a DoW on the whole. So if GOONS wants to claim that we are increasing their total wars, they can do so, but clearly someone would need lessons in counting As for the timing, we are cranky old folks, we get up WAY to early to be bothered with that trendy night time DoW stuff.

After all, TPF attacked Doom House, rather than the other way round, if you're accepting this conceit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
