HA! Just bend the knee to me already, UPN! You know you wanna!

Democracy is what led to UPN's downfall...

Oh. How interesting.

There are some things you should never impose upon a man, Manthrax! Never!

An equally romantic symbol, no doubt!

I'm going to have a love affair with your profile picture! <3 Also, yay OWR, tTO, and KT! A love triangle! Vic "The Boss" Truchev: Actual photo^

Weed. This treaty was about the weed.

Ya know, I'm getting better! There is improvement! I don't post stuff without flags anymore!

European historians have recently uncovered proof of the existence of ties between House York and Crusader entities. The first hint toward a wider affiliation was of the discovery of the ancient treaty between the Order of the White Rose and the Knights Templar known as the Cyprus Accords. After a week of intensive investigations it has come to light that House York had a discreet treaty with the Teutons as well. After only a brief moment of translation, it was discovered to read as such: ~oOo~ The Northern Gardener Accords On this 8th of July, enamored both of us were, by the beauty brought to bear of God’s most wondrous creations. By the sweat of our brow we have cultivated these grand displays for the glory of our Lord. Might these Gardens be blessed by the efforts of both our hands. May we Gardeners nurse our lands to immaculate health! Whether it be the Gardens of House York or the Gardens of Mainau Palace, we will enrapture all the world by our glorious displays of agricultural wonder! I.Black-Thumb Antidote The Gardeners agree to never sabotage one another’s Gardens. Should an instance of troubles plague our Gardens by the hands of One Gardener or another, it shall be handled discreetly and in a timely manner. II. Green-Thumb Insurance Whether it be the soil used to nourish most effectively our lands or the frequency of watering said lands, all secrets relating to the health of our Gardens shall be shared by the Gardeners. III. Defense Against the Dark Arts Should one Garden fall under the curse of a witch, the Gardeners will mount a most holy defense in prayer and careful agriculture. IV. End of a Season Should the season of our cooperation end, one Gardener must contact the other in a discreet manner 72 hours prior to the nullification of our most holy project.

First, you have to make me think you're SOOOPER loyal to the alliance. And then, when you're heir, you demote me and claim the throne as your own!

Yes.

Grandmaster Thalmor: Months have passed since our last meeting. We’re both anxious of committing to another dreadful journey, I am sure. In an effort to alleviate the anxiety of our travel-weary hearts, I propose to you through this missive our most recent arrangement to assist in battering down the hordes of heretics. May our God bless you and keep you, Hochmeister Victor Truchev Hochmeister Victor Truchev: Yes, indeed, our last meeting was fraught with dangers at every turn. Yet, it was God who led us to our final destination. Our partnership must be blessed by Him as your missive arrived without any trouble. I stand with you in our efforts to hold our most Holy City Jerusalem. I do hope this response finds you in good health. And, is that a promotion I see? As surely as our Lord is in Heaven, Grandmaster Thalmor Grandmaster Thalmor: God is just, as my health is as sure as His Grace. And yes, indeed. Tis only a temporary arrangement, in order to fulfill the demands of the Order while Beatrix Kiddo is on holiday in the East. I am overjoyed at your response. My messengers will ride far and wide to announce our growth to address His enemies. May we smite our foes with swift industry. With His Love and Grace, Hochmeister Victor Truchev Crusader Compact v2: Article 1: Non-Aggression Pact The Knights Templar and the Teutonic Order agree to maintain peace with one another.

Congrats! Have an excellent day!

If your alliance dies out, I'm going to steal your flag for things and uses.

Sweet, you'll be first on my list if it comes to it.

Sounds like a good time. You gonna be coming to play or should I wade my way through the chaos to find you?

Quite a resume of self-destruction you've got there.

Congrats on the conclusion of your war!

Thanks, babe. You're a stellar leader yourself.

Oh, but Sheepy forbid tTO pull out...

Really old history, but I don't recall you exactly helping matters.

Good thing I haven't valued your opinion since Oktoberfest, chief. Says the guy who I'm pretty sure is leading the next FSA.

Unlike Pantheon, tTO had concrete intelligence indicating we had been on a list somewhere that made us a target. TEst carried that list. Arrgh, by their nature remains a common threat. With Roz Wei subscribing to their defense, you automatically fell cleanly into that slot as well. That is one of the easiest things to rationalize, Roz. Your criticisms fall flat, sir. And I did not do this for the praise or admiration of anybody. I an under no illusion as to how it looks. Actually, this is where you're wrong again. Even if the war was moving more favorably to IQ, we still would have exited. It is as I have said. Politically, we just aren't committed.

We're more than aware that this would leave BK and the people who charged into the fray with us high and dry. I've already explained that we did this because aren't able to reconcile fighting in a conflict we just don't believe in. And that isn't a recent development either. I don't remember asking for anybody's help, Bambino. And to say the least, the light that shines betrays what is actually being shown. As much as that sounds like philosophical bullshit, I'm not worries about how this act reflects. Because I'm pretty firm in my belief that we're on our own path doing what is best for us. As we have always done.

It seems you misinterpreted my statement. This was not a surrender. Far from it. In fact, tTO was doing pretty damn good for being outnumbered on our upper tier. You will find no surrender from tTO.
