RE: Application to enter Alliance (Case E00)

In depth analysis of your nation's position on the world stage and its actions lead us to believe that the Empire of Osthia would make a fine addition to this shield, this military alliance, and so without hesitation, we accept you into this alliance.

OOC: You got me with the factbook. However, military needs touching up. We'll get to that.

SCUTUM
RE: Application to enter Alliance (Case E00)

The Kingdom of Greater Rhodes' application to join this alliance has been noted and accepted. We look forward to working with you in the pursuit of collective safety and justice for all; your presence will undoubtedly strengthen and steady the shield that is SCUTUM.

OOC: There was really no doubt here, to be honest. It's quite impressive; I wouldn't normally accept someone who issues Deagles to their officers.

Ah. Well, the Deagle's quite big and heavy for a standard sidearm. Anemonian Army officers are issued the ASP.45 as standard, but some choose to buy their own weapons.

[DaWoad]

ASD'ians are allowed a degree of customization. The caliber must be .45 ACP and the para Hi-Cap Limited .45 is a favorite.

(IC:) Due to recent changes within the foreign policy of the United Peoples of Malikov... (OOC:) blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm resigning from SCUTUM. Sorry about the informal nature of this. I'm too lazy to make something long and formal. Suffice to say my decision can't, and won't, be swayed.

[Osthia]

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=74112

I understand that this is a defensive military alliance, one Osthia is part of, but our emperor's life was jeopardized by Royal Calathonian agents in Wadudistan, and now, we ask that SCUTUM help us in this war, as a far larger nation has decided to join Calathonia.

Wow, you must've done some digging to find this thing,.....

NOTE: THIS ALLIANCE HAS BEEN DISBANDED

[Unilisia]

Might I ask why it has been disbanded ?

[Anemos Major]

Might I ask why it has been disbanded ?

Inactivity. People have moved on.

I'm sorry.

[Unilisia]

Might I ask why it has been disbanded ?

Inactivity. People have moved on.

I'm sorry.

Well, that is sad. If I had known anything was going on in the alliance I would have contributed, but I do remember joining this a year ago for the sake of safety.

Well, if you create a new alliance, I'll be glad to join up and help. Until then, I bid you adieu, Anemos.

[Anemos Major]

I will, eventually. But until then, that's that.
