We joined the dominion shortly before we were deleted for inactivity. I have not seen it mentioned on the forums since I came back, and I was wondering what happended to it, and if it still exists, if I can rejoin it.

bump

what dominion?

I beleive he is referring to the second [?] incarnation of the GDODAD, which existed some time ago, I can't remember how long. they died out again after that [I beleive] or simply just changed their name back to GDODAD before merging with Arda and the Reich to create the alliance now known as Metus.

Yes, that dominion. May we join this "Metus" alliance, assuming it has the same goals? Is Metus an acronym or something, or just a cool sounding name, or is it the name of a city or something the treaty was signed in, what?

Nope.

The Dominion was the renamed GDODAD. It was dissolved by TST and SAVIOUR(aka GDODAD Mk II) was created. The SAVIOUR died out again and then TST, along with AMF ressurected the GDODAD. :?

Bah, close enough.

So may we join this "Metus" alliance?

Metus is the Latin word for "fear." It's not an acronym, I felt NS has entirely too many of those and decided to shake things up a bit. I can't think of any other one-word alliance names, so it seems to have worked. Our goals are similar in many repects to the old GDODAD, but by no means are they identical. Since this thread is ooc, I cant make a decision based on the merits of your commentary, so you'll have to post something IC [dont send me a telegram, I'm horrible at answering telegrams] probably to get the ball rolling.

As you may or may not have guessed, I pretty much run Metus; but the alliance structure is more analogous to an oligarchy than a dictatorship.

Interesting. I'll work on making up a post.

OOC:
You cheeky bastard Morgy! 'twas me that came up with Metus as a name!

The Metus treaty can be found here:

He's got you there, Melkor. I remember that it was Kalessin who proposed the name Metus. :P
