If The Underground so chooses to actively participate in the war, the Article II clause will be put on pause for the length that The Underground is actively at war. The length of the duration of The Underground’s war will be added to the deadline outlined in Article II so as to give them time to recover from war losses. Article IV - Limits on Sovereignty For the duration of the agreement, The Underground agrees to not sign treaties other than Non-Aggression Pacts without prior authorization from Bad Company. Furthermore, The Underground agrees to not take offensive military action without authorization from Bad Company, except for countering raids, in such cases, Bad Company shall be notified as soon as it is practical to do so. Article V - Cancellation The Underground and Bad Company hold the right to cancel this Venture Protection Agreement. A notice from one alliance’s leadership is required to recognize a treaty cancellation. After a 24 hour notice of cancellation, this treaty shall be considered null and void. Bad Company holds the right to upgrade this treaty to an ODP. Bad Company must notify the government of The Underground upon the decision to upgrade the treaty. If Bad Company so chooses to upgrade this VPA into an ODP, it shall take effect immediately. 19 minutes ago, Malal said: So this is a protectorate that also functions as a ODAP but can also just be an ODP whenever? k then 12 minutes ago, Kevanovia said: I think you need to re-read the treaty if that's what you got. I mean, I love you kev- but it is basically what Malal said. Protectorate Benefits + Optional defense/offense & BC can upgrade ODP whenever.

Before you say that, consider that every alliance in Orbis began as a micro, including NPO, TKR, and KT. BK didn't just spring up with 150 members, neither did Pantheon or T$. Everyone has to start somewhere, and here that is as a 'micro' alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the reasoning in that, but alliances like KT and TKR were well planned out and had a strong base of members before it was even established, and NPO had already existed in CN for quite some time before entering P&W. I personally have no beef with micros, but its leaders have to be experienced and know what they’re doing if they expect to remotely succeed. People should join a major alliance for a while and have a good feeling for the game before leaving to make their own micro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan1 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I'll correct myself: Even if an alliance had a starting base of 10-15 members (which is what we consider a micro) it didn't immediately become the massive, 100+ member behemoths it is today. 2 hours ago, Anneal said: I personally have no beef with micros, but its leaders have to be experienced and know what they’re doing if they expect to remotely succeed.

Obviously TKR wouldn't be anywhere near where it is today if Infinite Citadel had no idea what he was doing. Every alliance that has a hope of becoming successful needs a good leader to keep it from dissolving into uncoordinated and inactive chaos.

The biggest problem with mircos is that too many people run out and start one without having any knowledge of the world they are in. So people who join them enter into a black hole that sucks the enjoyment of the game from them. That's is exactly why we took our time in organizing and creating plans to help us make it through. RH, nor myself, are no strangers to this game and others like it. My reasoning for helping him in this adventure is that it fulfills my desire do something new (to me) and to help newer players along in their journey with hope that they have the same love for this game that we do. We didn't want to start a new alliance with a dozen of other players since it wouldn't allow the newer ones the chance to create and shape their own culture. That is part of why some players lose interest. When you join a big alliance it can be intimidating and impersonal. Some tend to feel like mindless drones or lost. All we do is fill a need for those players while being experienced and organized well enough to teach them the ways of Orbis. 1 FORMER LEADER OF COTL.

Asking for a friend. We aren’t looking to force people to join BC. The goal is to get rid of the VPA-signee if they don’t achieve their goals and decrease the amount of garbo micros and hopefully have a positive impact on Orbis. If the members don’t join BC they aren’t going to be chased down. We wouldn’t want people in BC that wouldn’t want to be here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
