Good afternoon, fellow citizens. Dark times lie ahead - the Wyck-Fed alliance has declared war on Omnitopia, resulting in the Omni-alliance being dragged into the fray and as a result Sky Utopia.

I have seen many wars on servers such as these, and they all end in tragedy. I don't mean just winners or losers, I mean builds destroyed. Innocent noncombatants pearled. Valuables stolen. And, perhaps most disgustingly, little to no compensation for these transgressions as proceedings are bogged down in uneccessary 'he said, she said' bickering.

Sky Utopia is supposed to be a peaceful nation based on general consensus send co-operation. As much as I like Pon, there was no consultation with the population on the Omni-alliance and we were thrust into it without understanding the connotations. Put it down perhaps to his inexperience at this sort of thing, but from someone who's ran a state on CivCraft for 2 years now it's a bad move to jump into something so hastily and now we're going to pay for it.

Sky Utopia does not need a military alliance to keep us safe. It doed not need to ride on the back of any warmongering states to secure its safety. Diplomacy and general human decency are enough to build good relations between states in these simulations, and through that Sky Utopia not only would stay true to Pon's founding ideals but also would be enough to ensure others would come to our rescue if we ever found ourselves in a bind.

It is with this in mind that I would like to supersede Pon's decision to join the Alliance and withdraw. True to our values, if enough people agree with me we will formally leave the alliance, insulating us from any number of political disputes and pointless bloodshed from members of the Alliance and allowing us to focus on internal development of a militia as well as relations with nearby Avaria.

Glory to Sky Utopia!

P.S. Pon, I'm not trying to be a dick but these things are messier than you might realise.
