Backstabbing Brits?
Well, One Brit for Sure.
eIreland, while many of you sleep there are a select few (yes, even e
😜at RL Yank Theocrats) who still have your back.
It would seem that GLaDOS has canceled the Raleigh Treaty. Now, you might ask why I care. Well, simple, I love you guys even if I think you're daft these days and hell, I put a lot of hours into helping fix that damn treaty.
Since I am not 100% up to speed with my eIrish Politics these days I'm working off of a few assumptions;
1. GLaDOS is the eUK MoFA
2. As such he has the Authority to speak for Dishmcds
3. His declaration does in fact cancel the treaty...
Question: Why is this relevant? (other than the obvious)
Answer: Cuz eIreland is about to get PAID!
Well, probably not. But they did break Article 10 and the penalty is...
Read Article Xi paragraph 2
Article Xi: Penalties
2. Breach of any other article shall leave the violating party liable to a fine not exceeding 500G, the enforcement of which is at the discretion of the ingame President of the offended nation.
Its no problem.

Here is the text of his article:
*************************
Dear Citizens of Ireland, as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom, I would today like to announce the end of the esteemed Raleigh Treaty. As your esteemed President has decided to keep troops at home, and not defend us as mentioned in the Raleigh Treaty, and thus the treaty that was held sacred for over a year is officially ended.
(He had a cool picture of a burning document here)
While I understand the position of Ireland, the United Kingdom is far too large to stay occupied for very long, which is quite apparent by the fact that it has taken this long to invade us. Once we are free and whole, I'm afraid the diplomatic relations won't be quite as cordial next time.
That being said, we respect your decision as a neutral nation and have no negtive or ill intentions toward the irish republic.
-GLaDOS
UK MoFA
*************************
I also have all the comments. I think Congressman Field Marshall Castaneda posted most in the Dail, I’ll see where he left off and post the rest…
Recourse?
Let’s be honest… you wont see a bit of gold. Hell, we cant get admin to respond to much around here, and somehow I don’t think they’ll bite on this one. Besides, I’m sure that the eUK CP will climb all over this and deny that he had the authority etc…
But at least you know how they feel now… some of them…
Watch your backs eIreland…
It’s about to get ugly.
Slainte and SLIA!

Note: For those who believe they "Know" what the treaty says, please read the signed copy here before inserting foot in mouth (and no, it wont link without messing up the article).

HAHA!
Me thinks he was owned?
Niall H, what happened to your article? (And Glados' for that matter lol).
Here is the signed and accurate Raleigh.

...And now this one has gone blank. Well, in any case, while we wait for it to come back, can I just say that the second and third paragraphs of GLaDOS's article are really contradictory? He all but came out and said he wanted to invade eIreland for wanting to be non-aggressive, for goodness sake.
And... it's back. Lol. Thanks for the link, Donovan. 😉
In case your screenshots accidentally get deleted for some reason, I got several also
\o
erep rules etc.
no gold will be exchanged
for the same reason that portugal didn't get 5k from the usa
look it up, I cba to find it for you
Yeah, neither party is going to get any gold out of the Raleigh Treaty, but come on, nations with friendly relations don't try to extort each other, right? 😛
Why would you delete your article?
It was becoming a good read...
No, he's trying to say why eIreland wont get paid...
Damn those screen cappers eh chap? lol
I deleted the article because it was in bad taste, much like this one. there will be no payment, for the reasons I stipulated above
Mine is is bad taste for pointing out your (yank term here) Punk-B@#ch move?
I beg to differ old man.
>I deleted the article because it was in bad taste
Wow, GLaDOS, has hell frozen over? You admitting something you said was in bad taste? Well, there's always a first. Sorry, this just reminds me of the time someone said he's so old, he remembers when you weren't a troll, lol. XD
This is funny...
For one the treaty said that we have to keep an MPP with each other, this condition wasn't upheld so it doesn't matter.
They won't get paid because of "erep rules".
Can you elaborate on that?
Astra, when a man is wrong, the only thing he should do is admit he is wrong.
Tru dat, GLaDOS.
pure, the USA did not have to give portugal 5k gold a while back because in order for treaties to be valid, they have to have presidential signature as well as a majority of the country's congress
Correct me if I am wrong, I have heard that the Raleigh Treaty was not signed fully and not a subject. That is what a lot of the media has said thus far. We do need the 500Gold though.
voted, subbed, good catch
~hyuu~
Dan, please read the article and the comments and see the signed copy in it's entirety.
For any eUK readers,
Same goes for those who *assume* they know what's in it... The copy that was posted to your forum and also to the Wiki are not accurate as your Gov never amended to the signed copy.
Then why is this the first time you have done so?
What's the point in a treaty if it's not been done right, but people hold to it...
I hate policies and politics. No offense Kat 🙂
says "wont be so cordial next time" and then says there's respect?
and he first-posts it with "betrayalmaxx"??
oh, GLaDOS, this is dirty, even for you.
Well, they breached the article 10 without seven days notice. Which concludes 11.2 thus we will receive 500 Gold \o/
Well, this is interesting...
GLaDOS, I thought you loved us. I mean, we let you hang out with us in IRC and everything... you maeks me cry sad tears now...
;_;
How sad that this had to occur.
Érin go bragh.
I go away for a few hours........ lol
TBH, Ireland should of instantly signed a MPP the second war was declared on the UK, as per the treaty agreement!
^ That Snake's talking sense
Glados was always a bit of a prick. Everything has been cleared up though.
@Donovan: Perhaps you should have read the contract laws before drafting. It isn't valid, nor ever was. It was basically a mutual friendship, and one that will still remain, even though Ireland has chosen to sit this one on the sidelines.
Edana and I spoke about MPPing, war tactics, and quite a bit else. When Ireland wanted to discuss possible war games, they were very quick to find me on IRC to try and discuss terms, yet all of a sudden they are "afk" for diplomatic affairs, even though I've got 2 MoFA's from different time zones?
I'm not sure what's worse. This being taken out of context, or the drama queen nature that comes afterwards.
Aww, I like GLaDOS.
He has cool tunez
And yeah, like Dish says...(and snakey actually) the Raleigh was always a scrap of fantasy written on toilet roll, but hey...patton liked it 😛
"😉onovan: Perhaps you should have read the contract laws before drafting"
Au contrare my back peddling president. Perhaps you should address and control your Super Troll MoFA. I could care less for the validity. Your administration's representative has made your intent clear. What is that on your lapel? I'm sorry, can I brush that off? Oh my, It's hypocracy! And it's quite set in!
@Pip and Snake
Snake would make more sense if he read the treaty as he is wrong. It doesn't say that.
Donovan: Nice reply. You just admitted the treaty was invalid, you dislike GLaDOS by nature, and the fact that you're looking for shadows.
Thanks for clearing it up for us.
Actually Dishy, I quite like GLaDOS, but I'm finding you rather contrite and facile!
Boo!
LETS INVADE THEM...
OH WAIT IRELAND LIKES TO WATCH WARS HAPPEN AND NOT GET INVOLVED :/

Damn Brits!
i say we invade,
and if you ever did read the Treaty UK, it says you have to help us, we don't as you invaded Norway and Eden. i know as i was in the Dail at the time
Ireland not sending troops to defend it's 'closest ally' in literal terms is pretty underhanded.
Glados was right to make the statement.
thats a shit position js2k9
Tomazin need a band aid?
Portugal owes USA 5000 Gold.
I just want to be clear about that. The fact of the matter is, though, when Portugal was a day late returning Maryland (I was in office at the time and personally bugged Jewitt, then Vice President, about it on IRC), USA decided not to be assholes about "one day late" and let it slide.
Fast forward to me bugging the CBO people about making the scheduled payment to Portugal, but for some reason, (maybe cos it's a new CBO person?), it just doesn't get done on that day. Oh how the trolling and calling for 5k gold begins! USA Fail and whatnot. Then we pay it one day late, according to the semi-reliable game clocks, but Portugal's already asked the Admins for a trial. And you all know how that worked out.
Portugal owes USA 5000 Gold, except they don't, because the treaty was declared void.
The difference here is that Ireland and UK are supposed to be putting on airs of being friendly neighbors, while USA and Portugal were always clearly enemies. It's just bad form to go about insulting your neighbor over a void treaty, gentlemen's agreement even, and also to talk about your neighbor paying you over a void treaty.
Oh Astra...it's been like this FOREVER honey...dancing around and pretending. The RL brits and gaels know it, the eIrish and EBrits have varied opinions.
Raliegh was never trulty enforceable.
eUK never really cared about defending eIreland. eIreland shouldn't even consider defending them back.
Doesn't mean GLaDOS and Dish aren't cool players though.
Doesn't mean snakey wasn't always a rogue, and should be livin somewhere else really, to get off on his desires. 😉
Just means that finally we get a taste of real, hereabouts.
I'm lovin' the show. Long overdue.
Nice one DT, for posting it and gettin' some flame-throwin' on.
Naughty you 😉
(/me not missing the irony or humour that DT is using here, the bold boy 🙂 )
Thank God some one get's it Grainne. *sniffle* not a single pm from GLaDOS... I still love him though... *sniffle*
GLaDOS!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!
