Popular Post Spectral Posted December 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) In a world where villains have grown in popularity and strength, the world cried out for heroes. One hero stood up amongst the sea of chaos, and fought to bring justice to all. His name, was All might, and he became the Symbol of Peace. With his passing as a hero, the villains of the world grew emboldened. The world that the Symbol of Peace had built, now faced a danger long since forgotten. To combat this danger, a new organization would be formed, and it would be named the League of Heroes.We hereby announce the creation of an alliance of heroes, henceforth known as, the League of Heroes. The League of Heroes vow to uphold the integrity and resolve befitting that of a hero, to protect and defend its members and allies from unjust assaults, to help it's heroes(old and new) grow over the course of their service, and to build a world that all can call home. Symbol of Peace: SamohT Protector of Peace: Vacant Chairman of Studies and Development: Vacant Chairman of Resource Procurement: Vacant Chairman of Investigation: Spectre Chairman of Combat and Protection: Vacant Treaties Protectorate: The Syndicate (Click on the image to join our dicord server!)

Dumb Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Protectorate is the one being protected, you meant protector And actually AD is much more heroic, dont insult us by saying "just one hero stood up" mkay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O5 council finds your intentions to be... admirable... but, may pose a problem. In many situations The Foundation must risk or use the lives of others as tools to achieve our goal of keeping the public unaware of how terrible the world really is. If the LoH stays out of Foundation operation and turns over any SCPs they locate via their heroics we the O5 believe this conflict will be resolved. Is this a fair agreement? end transmission.... Ps.

Spectral Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Protectorate is the type of treaty agreement. Were not saying they're the protectorate, merely that that's the level. I'll add in the title but to make sure its clear. We will, of course, be prepared to turn over the SCP in order to ensure the Foundation continues preserving the world. It's been great working with Syndicate so far, and we look forward to continueing to do so. To a long friendship o7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 22 days, i think, is the real thing to add on to this. Having vacant slots early on isn't bad, i basically just performed the role of every gov until someone came along to do it. When Windy came i gave them FA, when Eclipse came and was a re roll who used to be milcom in an IQ AA, i gave him Milcom, and so forth. This way, i never have vacant slots. As for why, i don't know, i wish i could understand why 90% of the protectorate treaties that exist do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm not new to these games, nor is Samoht. The reason we have so many vacant positions is because: A.) We have a number of scripts automating much of the aa work B.) We are waiting for the war to end for the rest if the aa to come together. I have been apart of many worlds related to these places since 2009, and I will likely continue to play them for some time to come. If our alliance does not reach a significant milestone within a couple months, the protectorate will be dissolved and golden horde can claim they were right. LoH will not be another irrelevant micro because we have ample knowledge of not just orbis but others. We have guides to offer our newbies, dedicated staff, and loyal member base.

Buorhann Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 >not another irrelevant micro >protected Ok This isn’t a “Golden Horde” thing, this is Hippo’s biggest pet peeve thing. Most of the major AAs in this game have no standards with just accepting anybody who asks for a Protectorate tie, and yet quite a lot of people in random chats and back channels want to claim the game is dead due to stagnation moments - mostly caused by an inflation of AAs and dumb treaties. The fact that any major AA is willing to protect alliances that 1) Have no real membership, 2) No valued experiences, 3) Are not willing to defend themselves, or 4) Have no direction - is causing this game to be inflated with irrelevant AAs that simply just end up as some other AAs tool. And yet when those AAs get involved with some of the major backroom politics, they realize they’re not ready for it and make requests to others to bail them out. Hell, even some of the major AAs out there have shit gov/leadership. Players too scared or lazy, or simply have no idea how to handle their own issues. 1 3 Warrior of Dio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfPCFQfOnLg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see having too many protectorates as a CB in the future. Not sure if that idea was stated before, but just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further to the point it's just plain bad decision-making to protect an alliance that can't offer anything in return. I get the impression that a lot of treaties get signed without having a functional purpose in mind and it's just the FA head or the alliance leader wanting to propogate the idea that they're working hard doing FA things. As a general rule I think protectorate treaties are often deeply misunderstood. At their most basic a protectorate treaty is just a one-sided defense agreement, yet so many players simply look at the number of green lines on the treary web as a representation of "power projection" or "proactive FA", when in fact they're black holes that suck resources away from the protector and typically return nothing of value. Barring any exceptional arrangements like payment, vassilization or the like, the protector gets no immediate benefit, economic or military, from protecting an alliance. Because of this, there's usually some understanding (often likely never elaborated at the outset of the agreement) that the protectorate will reciprocate the favour at a later date once they become stronger. For players thinking in 2015-16 terms, this might seem smart, as BK and TKR started out as t$ protectorates and went on to help prop up a bona fide Syndicate-led hegemony for years. But more recently we've seen alliances such as the original TEst splinters, Dark Brotherhood, Bad Company, and doubtless many others I'm forgetting all split with their protectors and return nothing of value to them. The historical record should be evidence enough for the great powers of Orbis to question the validity of the assumption that protecting a new alliance will make them loyal to you. So my overall point is that if the protector isn't extracting any explicit commitments from the protectorate to provide something of value, like a future mutual defense agreement or short-term payment, then the FA team of the protector is doing their own members a disservice. After all, if someone decides to raid the pro then its the members who are responsible for actually carrying out the protecting, not necessarily the FA guys who want to look busy. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
