Hey Knights! I just wanted to update you guys a little more on our FA direction and the route we’re considering. This has been the result of extensive conversation and reflection over the last month or so and we think we’ve come to a decision but we want to make sure you guys are on board as well because we’re looking at a pretty big change. A few weeks back, we received an offer to join a new bloc with alliances we’ve not been previously allied to on the understanding that we end our ties with our current allies (not including protectorates). After a lot of discussion internally and with our allies, we’ve decided it may be best we part ways following this last war and start to chart our own paths. This change will help destroy some of the narratives previously used against us when we got hit last war, which would make a repeat of those events unlikely and bring in new support in the event that one does happen. All this being said, we have no intention to leave our old allies without help if someone should try and take advantage of us splitting to hit them. Keep in mind also that while “EMC” will come to an end, that doesn’t mean that we can never work together again or will immediately find ourselves on opposite sides. There are more things that align us than divide us at the moment.

When the FA team presented our possible options to government, our gov members took a good hard look at everything, picked every point apart, and asked tons of questions. After turning everything upside, we agreed this is our best move. We’re thinking about the next war and the war after that and we believe this is a good direction for the both the short and long term health and success of TKR. More than anything, what I’m hoping we’ll gain from this change is a clean slate for TKR. The war destroyed a lot of the narratives being used against us, this change will destroy the rest of them and provide us with new opportunities. I want us to be a part of an exciting new endeavor with allies who will support us both on and off the battlefield, who we can trust, whose goals align with ours, and arguably most importantly, who we can have fun with. A big part of the appeal here for why we’re looking at this particular path over others is that the alliances we’d form this bloc with have no ties to either of the main two spheres currently and we’d be forming a brand new sphere with them. Some of them are people that we’ve fought, some of them are people that put terms on us or our coalition, but all of them are people you guys indicated on the FA survey that, as a group, you were more neutral or positive towards. So with that said, the new bloc we’re looking to form will be with Church of Spaceology and Seven Kingdoms. I know not all of you will be happy about this change but I encourage you to keep an open mind and get to know them. We wouldn’t be looking to make this change if we didn’t trust them or feel like this was the best path forward for our alliance.

Feel free to ask questions either here, in #palanaeum, or in DMs with me or other members of the FA team. Please keep in mind that we may not be able to answer your question to the degree you’d like due to having to maintain opsec but we’ll answer everything we can to the best of our abilities.

So no change just picking up two top 10 upper tier alliances.

Like the narrative that TKR "broke up" a sphere by turning a bunch of traditional treaties into secret treaties and sanctimoniously criticized other people for having too many treaties? It's good to see TKR has started making substantive changes to its foreign policy by turning a traditional mutual defense treaty into a secret mutual defense agreement.

it also gives tCW a new identity so we aren't "TKR Lite"

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

For those of you who enjoyed "secret treaty whining" and "criticizing anyone who actually tries to do anything about the sphere dynamic they purported to found their sphere to combat", the first seven times IQ did it, I have excellent news for you...

You mean the secret treaties that were proven to exist? Perhaps you might have forgotten the adamant denial of their existence, and trying to use it as leverage to break other ties. 

This is the ssdd.
