I’ll keep this brief.
The Covenant has been around for a very long time.
It was the first bloc on Orbis, and up until just a few hours ago, the oldest active treaty in Politics and War.
But now, the Covenant truly is a thing of the past.
3 days ago we informed The Commonwealth that we were withdrawing from the treaty in order for us to stake a new path for UPN.
The 72hour grace period has now passed and thus, so has the Covenant.Thank you Commonwealth, and thank you to all former members of the Covenant.

I for one cannot find any fault in t$’s CB, nor their choice in timing.

5 hours ago, Diomedes said:
On behalf of myself and the rest of my government, we wish to apologize to those players who were offended by Gavin and I using Invicta as our alliance. Out of respect for you and your wishes, we have "disbanded" Invicta. We have changed our alliance name to Guinness. An alliance I ran ages ago.
This is our flag, and the charter we had will remain the same, but, with the changes for Guinness.
Thank you!
I approve of expunging the Invicta name and I approve of guinness, thus I am in approval of this message.

Congrats to all parties involved.
$1b... hmm... seems our demands for NPO/UPN were low and they still didn't accept. Time to raise them!
Yes, that will definitely make it more likely that we'll accept your terms.

Sparta has treaties with Guardian, SK, VE, and Alpha. We can't really count Alpha, since that declaration happened month(s) ago, and that would require them hit tS. SK isn't involved, Guardian hasn't been declared on? VE isn't in and has a non-chaining treaty anyway. There is no treaty clause forcing Sparta to hit BK, thus Sparta has hit BK without being obligated to, thus UPN is obligated to declare on Sparta.
And we in turn are of course expecting BK to declare on Mensa HQ and Guardian

Then you misunderstand the concept of bias. Even if we were solely responsible for all this (which we're not), being biased essentially means you're not seeing things clearly. It's not something that should ever be accepted or tolerated. Being biased is not something one should want to be in any case.
Now, I'm not saying we didn't have a hand in things turning out the way they did, it would be futile to deny that. But to deny that other parties are involved and have a part to play would be equally futile. This outcome is not the result of our actions alone and we should not have to accept full responsibility for it. The blame game is a very old and dull game, if you ask me.
Anyway, lykke til med krigen
Bias means having a preference towards one point of view over another. Yes I am biased towards UPN's point of view on who is responsible for this war, largely because you started this war.
Now I see many of you having owned up to this being simply about retaining the supremacy of your sphere before our own could become a credible threat to it. I can respect that.
I find it harder to respect that others of the Syndicate is so prone to condescension of anyone who objects and criticizes them and then have the nerve to accuse and lecture us about bias.
Jo lykke til der og.

This is clearly an objective and completely unbiased post! Nothing narrow-minded or one sided about it whatsoever! Clearly we should all believe everything you write and take your post at its face value, because it's totally not like your point of view is skewed to hell by your experiences as a UPN member, oh not at all. You are most equitable and impartial good sir, a most true and trustworthy source of information and surely you would have no interest in spinning things to make it seem like UPN is good and The $yndicate is bad, of course not!
I believe you would find must of us to be a little less offended had you not first feigned interest in reconciliation, then declared war on us without us having caused you harm or insult and then project responsibility of the situation on us. With that in mind I believe we are allowed to be a little biased in our point of view regarding which one of the two of us who is the good guy and the bad guy.

I don't give two shits what happens in another game but when most of the other sphere spouts made up shit about my alliance and my allies on the usual then I'll gladly hit them. Hans hates us and because of that I don't like him. I have no problem with any of his members. As far as I know they are all pretty cool because I've never had any issues with a UPN member before. They just chose shitty leadership and that isn't my fault. The same could have been easily said when Pfeiffer was in charge of Mensa.
Edit: to clarify this is my personal opinion and not Mensa's
I don't hate Mensa, I don't know where you have that from.
I do not hate the Syndicate either for that matter in spite of even this unprovoked attack upon us.

I'm happy to announce that the Covenant is once again a bloc rather than a particularly fancy treaty between the United Purple Nations and the Dutch East India Company.
After working together with the alliances of The North American Confederation and Polaris we have come to the belief that that they are and will be
particularly close allies to both the UPN and the DEIC. We are therefor happy to welcome the North American Confederacy and Polaris into the Covenant.

Congratulations to you both.

this could honestly be the least shitty thing you have ever posted on these boards. I have never been on the UPN boards so I can't attest about this being your best post ever so I will need Ole or Saru to to support that.
It's definitely in the top 5

Well, this was dumb.
I don't see the point of these drills. In a well-functioning alliance, if the leaders of the alliance tell their members to militarize, they militarize. End of story. Anyone who doesn't follow through and doesn't listen to what their leaders tell them are unreliable and shouldn't have been let into the alliance to begin with. If you can't trust the alliance's members to do what they're supposed to do everything falls apart and drills shouldn't be needed to ensure that trust, it should already be there. Honestly, if someone is unwilling or refuses to go along with militarization orders in a real situation, they should be kicked out.
Well.
If the alliance has a more open approach to recruitment or if you havne't been at war for some time then testing how quickly your alliance can change to war mode isn't entirely pointless.
But yeah, building up forces which you are not going to use is a bit of a waste, and causes unnecessary concern with other alliances.
Better to just do routine warchest surveys and gauge people on how quickly they swap their improvements to warbuild I'd say, if you absolutely need a war drill.
