Deus response to Xeta

Official Deus Response to Xeta posted by AlbinoSquirrel

To the Xeta faction of alliances:

Deus has received your notice of the termination of the NAP.

To counter your allegations: Deus has been preparing for war with Xeta for some time. This was a necessary step in the game, and as such, is no surprise to anyone. We stand by our principles, and we welcome this war fullheartedly.

However, to focus purely on Deus is uncalled for and unworthy of the Xeta faction. It brings to mind events of last round, and certainly leaves a bad taste in our mouth. Deus Command has respected Xeta as a military force and partner against FLVT. To focus on us and deride us for merely following our path which has been openly stated from the beginning is unbecoming to alliances of your caliber.

As for the allegations of negotiations with FLVT - Deus has not formally agreed to anything with the FLVT faction. However, we have contacted parts of FLVT, with the full knowledge of other Misc HC, for a cessation of major hostilities between Misc and FLVT. As they (FLVT) have been defeated and we see no point in driving them into the ground, there remains no real reason to continue the "bashing" and continued focus on their forces. We beat them (thus far), and no one can forthrightly come out and deny that. We give FLVT our firm respect and best wishes for the rest of the round.

As for another matter, we have formally dismissed 33:9 from the ranks of Deus Ex Machina. Their repeated violations of NAPs (even if accidental on occasion) have strained our relations with our allies and friends to such an extent that Deus Command has decided to revoke their alliance membership. Deus Command also makes formal apologies to all alliances and parties who feel they have been wronged by the actions of 33:9.

Xeta: to the victors go the spoils. See you on the battlefield, and good luck
