Popular Post Ripper Posted December 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Dear citizens of Orbis, Since the terms that are the main topic of the peace negotiations for the current on-going war are no secret (and the corresponding document has been circulated openly to the membership of several alliances), it has been decided to officially present them to the public. This thread is by no means a part of the official negotiations, for which a Discord server is already used by leaders and representatives of alliances participating to the war. Enjoy debating. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Article I - Cessation of hostilities No new wars are to be declared between members of Coalition A and Coalition B, once the Terms of Article II in this treaty have been fulfilled. No new wars are to be declared by Coalition A and Coalition B against the protectorates of the opposing side, once the Terms of Article II in this treaty have been fulfilled. Likewise, no new wars are to be declared by the protectorates. In order to avoid new war declarations once the Terms of Article II in this treaty have been fulfilled, alliances that are aligned to either coalition, (e.g. 1-nation alliances with the task of hiding banks), and have no official treaties with that coalition, have to: either merge back into their original alliance; or get a Protectorate pact (in-game mechanic) with an alliance; or explicitly state in their alliance description their relation with their parent alliance. In this case, the parent alliance also has to explicitly state in the corresponding alliance description its relation with that specific alliance. All wars that are still active after the cessation of hostilities can either end with defeat, expiration or peace agreement at the discretion of the nations involved in such wars. Any of the alliances directly affected by this treaty which change their official name in the future will still be bound by its terms. Article II - Official Surrender All alliances in Coalition B must provide an official admission of defeat to Coalition A. This will be done through a joint announcement on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums or through separate announcements. The announcement, as described in Article II section 1, must be made public within 24 hours of Coalition B agreeing to the terms of this treaty. Article III - Public Statements / Announcements All members of Coalition B have to recognize the Church of Atom as the official Church of Atomism in an announcement on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums. ~ submitted by Church of Atom Grumpy Old Bastards have to publicly admit, through an announcement in the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums, that they do not know why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch. ~ submitted by Seven Kingdoms Grumpy Old Bastards have to adopt the short name “GOB” instead of “Grumpy” in all of their future announcements and posts on the P&W forums (starting with the one for their surrender [see Term 1 of Article II]) and at the corresponding fields of their alliance description. ~ submitted by Church of Spaceology The ex-Mensa members of Guardian have to write an essay about the glory of an entity besides Dio, and make it public through an announcement on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums. ~ submitted by Terminus Est Guardian have to write a space opera about the Church of Spaceology and the adventures of Evil Bo, and make it public through an announcement on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums. ~ submitted by Church of Spaceology All members of Coalition B must state that it is their sincerely and dearly held belief, now and forever, that Clarke did nothing wrong. This statement can be made in an announcement on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums. ~ submitted by Acadia Within 1 week after Term 1 of Article I is fulfilled, The Commonwealth have to fly the Green Protection Agency flag for 1 week. ~ submitted by Terminus Est Terms 4 & 5 of this Article can be combined. Terms 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 of this Article can be met in parallel with fulfilling Term 1 of Article II and have to be fulfilled within 1 week after Term 1 of Article I is fulfilled. Article IV - Color Blocs The Knights Radiant have to support Seven Kingdoms in their campaign to change the name of the orange color bloc from “Radiant Orange” to “The Clockwork Orange” for 6 months. ~ submitted by Seven Kingdoms The Commonwealth (and any other alliances of Coalition B that choose to move to Aqua) must accept Acadia’s aqua color name (“Aqua, Man!”) and not propose any of their names as an alternative for 6 months. ~ submitted by Acadia Article V - War-dodgers War-dodgers are considered: nations that used (or renewed) Vacation Mode during the war, nations that entered Vacation Mode a few hours before the initial blitz of the war and were seen to be active at some point during the war. Either Coalition B will allow members of Coalition A attack war-dodgers (no counters will be launched by Coalition B ) once they get out of Vacation Mode. Attacks will continue till the infrastructure at all cities of a war-dodger is decreased to the level of 1k infra per city. The members of Coalition A are not to unnecessarily “torment” any war-dodgers; “torment” is defined as the purposeful prolonging of any attacks on war-dodgers to a greater extent than necessary, or continuing such wars once said nations infrastructure have decreased beneath the designated level. Or war-dodgers of Coalition B will have to sell the infrastructure in all of their cities down to 1k infra level. Once a nation submits to this term and fulfills it, its alliance has to inform and wait for confirmation from Coalition A before they are able to rebuild their infrastructure. Confirmation has to take place within 24 hours. Should any war-dodgers renew their Vacation Mode after Terms 2 or 3 of this Article get accepted, the corresponding alliances have to kick these nations from their membership. Should any war-dodgers get kicked or change alliances on their own, before Term 1 or 2 are fulfilled, they will be attacked by members of Coalition A, till their infrastructure depletes to the level of 1k infra per city. Term 2, subsection a, of this Article will still apply. War-dodgers or their alliances cannot bribe their way out of Terms 2 or 3 of this Article. The nations that have been identified as war-dodgers are presented in Appendix II. Article VI - Fairness in Trading ~ submitted by IQ The Knights Radiant have to ensure that Kosonome will stop using his trading bot. Any future trading mistakes between The Knights Radiant and members of The InQuisition (IQ) must be fully refunded. Article VII - Secret Treaties ~ submitted by Church of Spaceology Either Grumpy Old Bastards have to sign a formal MDP, lasting a minimum of 9 months, with Guardian and/or The Knights Radiant within 2 weeks after Term 1 of Article I is fulfilled: The 9 months MDP(s) shall be officially announced on the Foreign Affairs subforum of the P&W forums and be visible through the corresponding in-game mechanic. No activation of the cancellation clause of the MDP(s) can take place without valid reasoning behind it. If there is a reasoning behind the cancellation, it has to be made public. Or Grumpy Old Bastards have to not receive help from Guardian and The Knights Radiant in the next defensive war Grumpy Old Bastards face. Article VIII - Giving Piracy a Chance ~ submitted by Arrgh For the next 6 months after Term 1 of Article I is fulfilled, The Knights Radiant cannot declare war on any Arrgh nations that do not have an active offensive war with a member or applicant of The Knights Radiant. Apendix I- Coalitions *Alliances presented in alphabetical order. Apendix II - War-dodgers * Nations with less than 10 cities and/or less than 1k infra per city (or close to it) are spared. (Nations listed in the original document.) Edited December 1, 2018 by Ripper 3 20 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you tried to force any actually meaningful terms on them they'd opt to just burn the tens of billions of cash and resources fighting this forever instead. At least this way its mildly amusing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buorhann Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Way too wordy. Waaay too many terms. I sure as hell wouldn’t accept it till it was trimmed down to something more manageable. EDIT: Looking through these more closely, the only ones that I like are the AoD, Color Bloc, and War Dodgers. The rest is just too much. The Arrgh one seems odd. It’s allowing Arrgh the initiative to raid TKR, and TKR can only reply once a hit happens. Should just push for a blanket NAP there. Fairness in Trading is a odd demand too. Public Statements, while lulzy, that’s a lot there to pay attention too.
