You gave us no information at all and refused to respond when asked to clarify your positions. In fact, your posts on here have clarified much more than any previous conversations or lack thereof. No point in being dishonest nor salty about the situation, it's over. Just let it go. Once again, we harbor no resentment towards GE, nor any of their members. This was a common sense move to retain a united left. It's really not a big deal and I would find it hard to believe that anyone didn't see it coming. Good luck everyone. I doubt i'll be back on the boards today. Hit me up on discord for any further questions or commentary.

United Socialist Bloc Article I - Preamble A specter is haunting Orbis. The specter of the United Socialist Bloc. We, the alliances of the United Socialist Bloc, rally together in pursuit of the advancement of the left’s ideals in this Optional Defense and Optional Aggression Pact. We, as one, strive to maintain prosperity and friendship between the signatories. Furthermore, all of the signatories of the United Socialist Bloc agree to not engage in open warfare with one another. Article II - Optional Defense In the event that a signatory is directly attacked, the signatories of the United Socialist Bloc may, but are not obligated to provide financial and/or military support to the defending signatory. The signatories must provide a clear “yes†or “no†as to whether or not military and/or financial aid will be provided to the defending signatory. Article III - Optional Aggression In the event that one signatory of this treaty decides to declare war on an alliance, both military and financial support towards said signatory is optional. The signatories must provide a clear “yes†or “no†as to whether or not military and/or financial aid will be provided to the aggressive campaign. Article IV - Intelligence All signatories are obligated to share intelligence to other signatories of the United Socialist Bloc if it threatens the security or growth of any of the signatories. Article V - Membership Should any alliance wish to join the United Socialist Bloc, a unanimous vote must be achieved by the signatories (1 vote per alliance) in order to accept an alliance. Article VI - Termination If, at any point, an alliance wishes to leave the United Socialist Bloc, the alliance must provide a 72 hour notice before officially announcing and therefore leaving the bloc. This treaty may only be terminated once there is only one signatory remaining. /s/ Global Communist Bloc Chairman: Comrade TCB Commissar of Foreign Affairs: Commissar Victorious Commissar of Immigration: Daemicaus Dalint Commissar of War: August USRGC President of the United Socialist Republics: Matrix Prime Minister of the People's Union: DarVolt Minister of the United Peoples Socialist Army: Carl Barret Minister of United Peoples Economics: Eyrid Sassun Minister of the People's Diplomacy: DarVolt and Ahriman International Revolution ★ᶤᴿ Command: Winter Soldier, eQna8 Approved Alliances Socialist Hellenic League

I brought that up myself and my plan was to drop from it and sign an ODP with GCB as we already had the Accord with IR. The leadership decided that since they switched ideologies they violated the original agreement so it was easier to remove them. They were given ample opportunity to explain what was going on or defend their positions. They chose not to. GE was already discussing leaving anyway so realistically this was likely to be the end result regardless. I may attempt to push an amended agreement later but this was a framework agreement. It was mainly to serve as a starting point to build on. I am backed up by the leadership and I would not attempt to act unilaterally. As previously stated, this wasn't even my plan. This makes me laugh. Someone so bored they feel the need to troll someone over being bored.

Coming from an "ally". We definitely made the right choice.

With the recent ideology change within the alliance formally known as Socialist International into a more imperial model, the remaining alliances within the bloc have decided that GE no longer conforms to leftist or socialist ideologies and in response to this radical shift Galactic Empire is hereby removed from the socialist bloc. We from USRGC wish GE the best of luck in the future and wish to declare there is no negative intent to GE.

This is the difference between critiquing and whining. I did not intend for it to be easy not hard to read and I really don't care either way, I wanted a functional agreement with clearly defined mechanisms. For anyone it doesn't apply to, I wouldn't bother reading it. Even lower ranking people within the alliances mostly probably wouldn't bother reading most of it it. I hope this clears up the rest of your post. Thanks for the thoughtful response. 1. I originally had a much shorter one but this was requested by leadership. 2. It would. There's a split mechanism depending on if it's small scale battles between nations or full scale alliance warfare. MDP ONLY applies when it's on a large scale, otherwise it's ODP. 3. Yes, there's trust on both ends that there's no rash decisions, but no side ever has unilateral control over anything. 4. The entire reason I included that was in the cases of being backstabbed in the middle of a massive war, there's no debate on the matter if there's consensus with the security council. I could see that being interpreted as a supremacy clause though. I do expect if this were ever invoked that two of the people sitting on the council would be the highest ranking leaders of both the alliances. I hope it's never even invoked honestly. 5. Yes, in between our alliances we give big discounts to encourage growth and shore up defenses with smaller nations. The smaller nations are expected to give more as they're able to.

As of 1600 server time on March 24,2017 the People's Accord as defined below is signed and in effect. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wJODcYi2T0H_V3Ard4QTxbHQ_QP32PKTfO_CQ-IIHS4/edit?usp=drivesdk
