    Caesar sat in his office in Nassau, drinking his whiskey and staring out the window at the darkness of night as he pondered the great questions of life, the questions that kept him up at night. What is the meaning of life? Are we alone in the universe? What happens after we die? When will Sisyphus come back from getting the milk? His pondering was disturbed however by the chime of his phone on his desk informing him he had an new notification, leading him to turn away from the window.

     

    Checking his phone Caesar saw he had received an email, and upon opening it he was greeted by the symbol of a griffon, and a request for a meeting underneath. After a moment's thought, Caesar dialed a number on his phone calling for a meeting of the Executive Board, followed by a second call requesting a meeting with his comrades in The Legion. It seemed that his pondering would have to wait for another night, there was business that needed to be handled.

     

    Within the week, a meeting was set to be held on neutral ground. The members of the Executive Board as well as Imperator Kiwiwilliam and Praetor David Ben-Gurion of The Legion entered the hall, greeted by the sight of a group of people entering the hall from the other side. Caesar recognized them, Memph, Synthesis, JtTeE, Vanek, and Johnkal from Guardian, as well as someone from Oblivion who definitely either was or was not Ockey. As all present took their seats at the table within the hall, the first to speak was JtTeE, "We may have found ourselves on the opposite sides of the battlefield a number of times over the past few years, but we have never held any ill will towards T$, nor Legion. We requested this meeting in the hopes of finding common ground, and shared interests, for the sake of finding a path to working together."
     

    Caesar nodded, "If peace, cooperation, and friendship is what you desire, then I've no reason to refuse. Let us have peace, and let our friendship and cooperation be fruitful and long lasting. Orbis asks for logs whenever drama happens, and people argue. If Orbis wants logs, then let us see how they feel about these LOG$."

     

    As handshakes were exchanged, documents were signed, and people posed for photos, Chief Operations Officer President Tom could be found looking wistfully towards the sky, and was later quoted saying, "I just wish Lucas were still here to see this. He would have loved to see things return to the old days." Executive Emeritus Lucas, who retired just over one year ago and has since relocated to Exegol, was known to have formerly been a member of the alliance Guardian, but sadly could not be reached to provide a statement about his thoughts on the signing of the treaty and the formation of the sphere. 

     

    The Legion, Oblivion, Guardian, and The Syndicate, announce the formation of LOG$.

    All signatories hereby agree to enter into a state of non-aggression with one another for the entire duration of these accords and agree to never conspire or commit acts of espionage against one another.

    Didn’t TFP give you their word they would be waiting for the war’s conclusion before allying up with Sing/CIS?

    TFP isn’t known to hold devious intentions.

    My conversation with TFP happened weeks into the war. As I lack the ability to time travel, despite my attempts to achieve such technology so I can go back and prevent myself from ever playing PnW and getting sucked into the madhouse, my conversation with them could not have swayed my leanings on whether or not to worry over intervention. As for TFP not being known to hold devious intentions, Eclipse, who had been an ally to TFP at the time that war was beginning, publicly stated that TFP had been plotting against SAIL with third parties, which was the sort of thing I was looking to avoid being the victim of.

    i still miss the snek

    As of current, resurrection rituals have failed to yield successful results. As Pontifex Maximus however, I have yet to give up, and continue to make all possible efforts.

  4. Lucas, I can say without a doubt, I've never enjoyed a greater honour in this game than serving alongside you for these past nine months. Your unwavering dedication and determination have been an inspiration and a marvel to behold over my years in T$, from the moment you stepped into the office of Chief Operations Officer, to this moment now. I wish you a relaxing and fruitful retirement, no one in the history of T$ has more earned it than you. Thank you for your service.

    I can't speak on the Hollywood bit, but the NPO one?  I personally warned Syndicate that they were lieing to you guys.  Still, I see your point on that one.  (btw, weren't you also defending NPO back then?  Pretty sure you were)

    But are you really putting TFP up there with Hollywood and NPO/BK?

    I wasn't in T$ at the time back for NPO, I was in BK and a whelp wet behind the ears, so I can't attest to who said what back then beyond what I've heard. For TFP though, what I'm saying is that assuming the best of an alliance takes some trust, and that isn't something that is just freely handed out. There was no effort from TFP's part in that regard, including no effort from Shwin towards me as alliance head to alliance head.

     

    Taking something as a gesture of goodwill, or a sign that things will turn out better than they look takes trust. There was no explanation for the move, even though you're right and TFP didn't have to say that they were signing with Sing. All we were given was that a hostile alliance planned on signing with another hostile alliance that wants to roll us for revenge. No explanation was given and no "Hey were going to work on mending the fence and preventing a revenge war" was given. Perhaps we're going to be called opportunistic for this, but everyone in this game is opportunistic, that's part of the game.

    (He was BK Foreign Affairs high gov)

    At the time the war started, I was a normal member. I was made low gov about a month into the war and made a figurehead "high gov" December of that year, about two and a half months before the end of the war.

    What alliances did you put faith/trust in that have bit you in the rear?  I’m very curious about this.

    Two best examples are probably the Hollywood-Celestial demil situation back in 2022 where both sides de-milled, Hollywood re-milled to deal with raids from pirates and then hit Celestial despite telling Celestial their remilling was just to handle the pirates, and the NPO situation in 2019, where T$ believed that NPO and BK had actually split and that NPO was an ally that would keep its word....... and everyone recalls how that one went.

    I'd argue the fact that TFP mentioned it to you guys in Syndicate is a sign of good faith for their intentions.  They had no obligation to do that.

    I feel like it would be quite a leap of assumptions to say "An alliance that has been hostile towards us since before Darkest Hour has told us of their intentions to sign with the alliance that is clearly the most hostile towards us. This is a sign of good faith and of good things to come."

    I would be more inclined to agree with your point if there had been a history of friendship and cooperation and openness between T$ and TFP, but there hasn't been. I'd be more inclined to agree if there had been a history of openness and friendship between Shwin and I, but there hasn't been. 

    At no point since I became Executive has Shwin reached out to me or my staff about improving relations, or mending fences or anything of the sort, and outside of the one screenshot presented in Shwin's first post I don't know of any instances of that happening before I became Executive either. Hells, even in the very matter that led to this situation, the questioning of intentions after TFP was removed from WELP, Shwin reached out to CTO and Aurora about their intentions and asked THEM to ask T$ and SAIL of our intentions instead of coming to talk to us ourselves.

    You're asking that we'd put a great deal of trust and faith in an alliance that we've had multiple years of bad blood with, have heard for months has has had ill will towards us, and has never reached out to us to improve relations or mend fences, especially when T$ has been bitten in the past when putting faith in and trusting other alliances to have good intentions towards us.

    Can't wait to see what box this opens up!

    I'd like to honestly ask a question, and I don't want it to come across as being hostile or anything.

    If you're told "Alliance A intends on allying with Alliance B, your enemy, an enemy who has made it clear they intend on attacking you in the future to get revenge" does it not stand to reason that, since everyone knows about Alliance B's desire for revenge, alliance A must be on board with that, and thus is fine with a future revenge war? And, with that in mind, if an alliance plans on attacking you in the future, and you find that they've ended up in a situation without allies, and you can attack them to set back their growth, and ensure they're weaker in the future if/when they come for revenge, would you say "No, I'll let them continue to grow unhindered" or would you capitalize on a chance to set back their growing by forcing a rebuild?
