[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 1965558, member: 6521"] [b]TEC Pact Members:[/b] The Scarlet Brotherhood suggests that both the Drow Resolution and the TEC Summit take place immediately. I, Brother Abbon Craylor, shall arrive there shortly, and await what other representatives may come. We wish to make public our opening statements concerning both matters: [i]The Drow Resolution:[/i] We feel that given the utter chaos which permeates their cities, the Drow and the Empire of Eclavdor can no longer be considered a [i]nation[/i] for any functional purposes, and neither Elistraee, Eclavdra, nor anyone they claim as subjects should have any eligibility for protection or obligation under the TEC Pact. At such time as chaos this chaos is resolved, and a clear leader steps forward, they should of course be allowed to sign into the Pact; but they would represent a new, distinct power, and should not be afforded any special consideration until they have signed. The Yuan-Ti Empire, however, appears to represent an unbroken nation who, though no longer beholden to Eclavdra, should still be held to all commitments she bestowed upon them during her reign. We consider them members of the TEC Pact, to receive full protection and to be accountable for all obligations it entails. [i]The TEC Summit:[/i] First, the Scarlet Brotherhood calls for the creation of a system for collective action and decision-making between the powers. We propose a simple vote, by which any proposed action or amendment to the terms of the Pact shall be ratified by any two-thirds of the powers involved. The terms of this system should stipulate clearly that all powers in the Pact will be held obligated to any proposal so ratified, regardless of their own approval. We believe that this issue should be addressed [i]first[/i], to provide a simpler means for recognizing consensus among the other concerns raised at the Summit. Second, we propose an article be added to the Pact which shall exempt any power from protection against an attack which has been provoked by their own aggression. This article should clearly state that this exemption shall only cover attacks equalling the original aggression, and then be lifted; that is, should Pact Member A attack Foreign Power B with 10,000 troops, then B may respond with an attack to A of 10,000 troops without fear of recourse. Should B send 20,000 troops, then that would represent 10,000 troops beyond exemption, and the mutual retribution clause would require all pact members to send forces equalling 10,000 troops against power B. [b]Edena:[/b] The Scarlet Brotherhood sends representatives to the Yuan-Ti Empire, to try to determine just who is in charge there, now, and to request that this ruling power attend the TEC Summit. We will try to express that without an officially and universally recognized leadership, it will be difficult to convince world power that they are at all capable of meeting the obligations to which the Yuan-Ti will be held. [b]Melkor:[/b] The Scarlet Brotherhood would like to invite Gallador to speak on the matter of Vecna at an upcoming rally in Kro Kerlep. We request that he appear in the robes and regalia of Our Brotherhood, and come bearing the Sword of Kas, whose history and significance should be told in his oration. We wish for his presence to demonstrate the solidarity of our nations against the upcoming struggle, and to spurn our people forward to deliver Vecna his defeat. [b]To all powers housing elven refugees:[/b] It has come to our attention that numerous powers throughout Oerth have come into possession of substantial child resources from Aliador, Ratik, and the former Drow. We are interested in purchasing these resources to ensure their safekeeping, at a negotiable price of one trained soldier per ten elven children.
