Lord Frostsword Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 A Citadel Council Announcement As we sit currently, our plans to protect the integrity of the economy and the peaceful state of the White Sphere led to military action. We realize that Arrgh and GR's actions weren't coming from a bad place or they wouldn't have met to negotiate with us. It was an attempt to point out a fault in our policies to us in a manner that we could neither deny nor dismiss. They have proven this point and we thank them for this. We tried this policy out. It didn't work. Time to try something new. We bear no hard feelings for Arrgh or the Guerrilla Republik and, in fact, appreciate their willingness to negotiate with us as a sign of their good intentions.Section 5Governing the White SphereThe Citadel Council was formed to ensure great economic prosperity throughout the White Sphere for each signatory as well as each nation residing on the sphere. The Citadel Council will also work to protect those on white to maintain the prosperity of our alliance, fellow alliance and nations on white.1. Our diplomatic approach to new nations and new alliances on white will directly reflect our main directive of this bloc - Prosperity & Protection.2. New, unaligned, nations will be asked to join one of the signatories alliance to receive better benefits, should they be interested - great - if not they will remain a responsibility of the Citadel Council and fall under the protection of the Citadel Council. /S/ Citadel Council Click the Spoiler for new Accord Info: Section 1Non-Aggression and Intelligence1: All signatories hereby agree that no sanctioned aggression will occur between them, neither covert or overt.2: In the event of unsanctioned aggression, all signatories agree to discuss the issue privately, and to handle the matter in a friendly and diplomatic manner.3: Any and all information deemed appropriate is to be shared between the signatories in the interest of mutual prosperity and security.Section 2Mutual Defense and Mutual Aggression1: Signatories agree to defend one another in the event that one comes under attack.

Pax Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hey, as long as you guys are willing to admit when something doesn't work. Lots of people act like they can do no wrong, always nice to see when someone's willing to go "hey, we tried something new, it didn't work, that's our bad and we'll try something else" o/ Quote <+JohnHarms> We need more feminists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adama Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 This looks pretty positive and a step in the right direction. 1 Quote If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a roll. There is one you will follow. One who is the shining star, and he will lead you to beautiful places in the search of his own vanity. And when there is no more vanity to be found, he will leave you in darkness, as a fading memory of his own creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aksel Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I just wanted to say, I had a great time talking with Psycho during these past 24-ish hours. We were presented with a challenge and were faced with an honorable group of people acting in a professional matter. It is true that the amendment that was most recently added to our charter was a bit of an oops and we wouldn't have been able to recognize that as quickly, without the strategic move from GR and Arrgh. GR, Arrgh, enjoy your stay on the White Sphere o/ o/ All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labor; in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, shall be my motto." - Bartholomew "Black Bart" Roberts Green Enforcement Agency will rise again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eumirbago Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 So the protectorate is useless as well since you guys don't follow through on your word.

Might as well disband the bloc altogether if you're just gonna ammend everything that gets challenged. Not really. Acknowledging that a policy doesn't work isn't the same as amending anything that gets challenged. The policy did the exact opposite of what it was meant to do so obviously it was bad. Going to war over bad policies is the worst policy.
