Riiiight... because what we say OOC never impacts on what we say IC... but even though you just said that it did.
I said say what you say OOC doesn’t mess with IC action. Your OOC behavior with another player does impact on your IC actions.
I have tired to talk some sense in y’all. I even offer for anybody to add to my treaty as it s the only one that will matter. It is the one that was so-called broken. *rolls eyes*

Hey guys, calm down. This is beggining to be a pissing contest. Take a break, Trans, you could use it. All of you could use a break. Take some time off, and come back later. But right now yall are just being dicks. (sorry mods)
Well, that's 2 people now...so it's a benefit of the doubt thing now. And as for evidence...meh. It's cool. If there's more than one of you saying it, and to be fair, Hat admitted to saying it, then I'll take it.
Won't affect me ICly though...seeing as unless he makes that move IC, I'm not supposed to know.
Me neither, but at least now I'm justified for leaving the DC. Woot. *sighs*
Someone make this pain go away..

I'd like to clear some stuff up here.
1.) Haven is not an alliance. Its not even a group of affiliated states. Its a region. Nobody except perhaps the delegate can speak ICly for the region of Haven. If you move a foreign fleet into Haven it will be promptly sunk because we like to keep things internal, yet Haven doesn't flex any united power and it is not a group of affiliated states with one single belief. Learn that, its very important.
2.) Gataway likes to accuse Haven, and its people, of arrogance. I find this really quite amusing. Powerful states reserve the right to be arrogant, look at the USA and Israel, or the USSR when it was around. If Iran pissed undeservedly the USA off I'd have no reason to believe the USA wouldn't lay the smackdown on them for being the belligerent little wankstains that they are. This is what states that are strong do - they defend their national interests and security. Continue to accuse me of warmongering, arrogance, belligerence, because it doesn't actually affect me, ICly although it is a bit irritating, yet hilarious, OOCly.
OOCly, I think arrogance is a virtue. By calling Haven, or me, arrogant, is a compliment. Thank you. I would compliment you back but I don't really want to. Actually, on second thought, I think I will compliment you, because you (you being the Hataria supporters) are being arrogant too.
Dictionary.com defines arrogance as "offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride."
By claiming that the DC actually matters in international politics and mantaining some kind of facade of power, you too are being arrogant, because it would be quite easy for any of the real NS superpowers to crush the DC under its fist, unless Translyvania doesn't ignore them for no good reason like he did Automagfreek and Doomingsland.
3.) For all your cries of WARMONGERING and BELLIGERENCE from the side of Blub, you lose. Blub is warmongering. Who cares? He doesn't. Noone supporting him does. Accusing us of warmongering is simply pointless. Do you think the USA called Japan warmongerers in 1941? Yes, of course they did. Did that suddenly make the populace of America any more hostile towards the Japanese? Not a jot. Did it make the Japanese turn around and say "actually, we will come to American terms on the negotiation board." No, it didn't.

Well, they used to come after you in the past, but as of now you're not supporting Hataria so we don't exactly have reason to. Besides, you never really were as aggressive as he, you just kinda followed along and offered support.

Oh, it's not his fault. It's the nations who were arguing over the fate of him. Hataria was actually pretty tame here, he didn't post that much and he even apologized to the Blubs. It's the more radical nations that were the problem.

Okay guys, I took my unfair ban as I wasn’t flaming nobody. I was extremely pissed off and need the break though. and I think Matt or one of the others hunted the mod that hates me the most, which I don’t think a mod should favor one person under another.
On with whatever I’m doing. I have gave y’all the option to modified the Treaty of the Second Age as there isn’t a reason for Hat to have four million treaties to sign. One treaty is all that is need, but none of you take that chance. Awe could have came to together and modified the Treaty of the Second Age like adults, but none of y’all did it. Y’all used my thread to post your own damn treaties. And Praetonia, someone whom I did respect, made fun of my writing. That was a flame in own self as I wrote the stuff OOCly. If this was in real world, the grammar would be better as it wouldn’t be me writing.
I want to play this game for fun, not to win the game as you can’t do that. I can’t have fun with people whom only want to hate people OOCly. I can’t have fun with people whom piss me off. I can’t have fun and I could go on with this forever, but I don’t have time for it.
And I’ll make a IC post soon about this, but I tell everybody OOCly. I’m taking a break from role-playing. Unless your name is Jenrak or Theao or one of my allies, I’ll not being role-playing with you. I’ll work on my IC post, but I have to think about what to say. I know some of it already.
Here comes the main point of this role-play. Because of the actions of a number of players, I’m leaving this role-play and wish Clint the best. Clint, you were the best of us through this whole thing. You were showing your less hostile side and all they were doing was trying to bring that side back. Here is something I thought would be the best for you. Start a new nation and continue on with your peaceful ways. As this new nation, nobody will hound you and if they did, you can report them to the mods as they will grieving you.
That’s all I got to say about this matter. I’m done with it.

The purpose of any particular treaty is to prevent Hataria from becoming an aggressive warmonger, right? I think this is more in line with things...
-The Hatarian military is limited to 20,000,000 men in all branches. This may not be supplemented by mercenaries or other means to get around the limit.
-Hataria may not possess any NBC weapons or orbital weapons systems such as godrods or any other forms of space-deployed weapons. 'Conventional warhead' ICBMs are also banned via this treaty.
-The Hatarian space program is to be limited to civilian use items only, with the exception of GPS and surveillance satellites which are neccesary for self-defense.
-The Hatarian military is forbidden from taking offensive actions against other nations. This does not apply to attacking invaders on Hatarian land, airspace, or waters.
-The Hatarian government may not fund partisans, mercenaries, terrorists, etc in an attempt to make trouble for other countries.
-The Hatarian navy is to be limited to no more than 2000 ships and no aircraft carriers or super dreadnoughts. Nuclear powered or fusion powered vessels are prohibited.
-Hatarian civilian vessels may not be armed except with defensive weapons. Auxiliary cruisers are not allowed.
-The Hatarian military is not allowed to maintain any form of ballistic missile submarine.
-The Hatarian military may fortify it's borders and coast as much as it wishes, provided the number of men used to garrison the fortifications comes out of the 20,000,000 allotment and the fortifications comply with the previous clauses of this treaty.
-The signatories of this treaty must recognize Hataria's right to exist and sign a non-agression pact with the Hatarian government.
Now for some explanations of clauses which arn't self-explanatory:
-20 million man limit: You don't need a gigantic military for self-defense. This one's bigger than my own, even.
-NBC clause: Speaks for itself, really.
-Offensive actions clause: This was missing from all the others and is a rather blatantly obvious one. It also renders a lot of detailed stuff unneccesary-- who cares how many tanks Hataria has if he can't attack with them? I worded it so people can't invade him, then hit him with the clause if he does anything but have his troops hide behind walls.
-Terrorist etc clause: I don't know if Hataria does this, but this will tend to make him a better neighbour.
-Naval clause: Same reasoning as the army limit. You don't need a big navy for self-defense. No aircraft carriers forces him to rely on land-based airbases and reduces possible force projection. Similarly, no nuclear/fusion powered vessels reduces the potential range of his navy considerably and forces them to keep closer to bases, or else waste a lot of that 2,000 ship limit on tankers. It'll also tend to limit tonnage since very large ships will use lots of fuel.
The rest is fairly self-explanatory.
Under these clauses it doesn't matter much what kind of government Hataria has or what it's equipped with (except with a few limitations as detailed in the treaty), he wouldn't be invading anyone anytime soon.
One must wonder why you havn't bothered to act on this before-- you could have joined the previous war against Hataria and even now had a hand in shaping his current government and limiting his military and so forth.
I hate to dig up something this old, but I'd like to put in my two cents here.
The coalition of the willing during the "Ryu no Jo'o" war was comprised of Demon666, Ezaltia, Shalrirorchia (The Big Three), Amazonian Beasts, Wilhelmborough, Crazed Marines, Skgorria, and Atopania. NOT ONE OF US had ANY say in the reconstruction.
