The Blue Turtle Alliance (BTA) is now known as the The Aquatic Brotherhood. This occurred under the surrender terms handed down to them by Confederacy of Independent States in GWIII.
History[]
The Blue Turtle Alliance was founded by two former NAAC Members: Master-Debater and Voronov, who left the NAAC to create the Blue Turtle Alliance. The BTA grew at an average pace mostly due to Master-Debater's recruitment efforts and other promotional things. Soon enough the BTA Picked up and formed Diplomatic relations with a Number of alliances, notably the NAAC, NoR & NADC. The BTA is very open with its politics and is always willing to listen to new treatys.
In the last few weeks the BTA has expanded itself onto a new form of chatting. IRC. The instant that the BTA went online in IRC the room began to freeze because of its complete lack of visitors. Master-Debater instantly became involved in as many IRC rooms as possible and quickly found himself banned from a few of them for an unknown reason. The BTAs room is #BTA on esper.
The Leaving of Voronov. Months back, co-founder Voronov came to the BTA with the idea of joining GUARD. It was met with very little fanfair and was shortly there after turned down. After that Voronov left the BTA so that he could fight alongside the NADC.
Great War 2[]
As the cyberverse teetered on the brink of war for many weeks the BTA sat back and watched from the wings while thinking of there next move. Watching conflict after conflict build up and then blow over the BTA had assumed that there was to be no war until they learned of a small conflict that started involving Fark.
Watching as GOONS started to attack Fark the BTA saw no reason to go to war until they were contacted by allies and enemys the same asking for assistance as they were all going to war the following night.
Deciding that the BTA should honor its treatys it went to war to defend itself and its allies from its enemys. On Jan 10, 2007 11:46 PM the BTA officially went to war
After a few days of war BTA members were prospering while others were in tatters. On Jan 15, 2007 12:25 Am the Blue Turtle Alliance Offically Withdrew
Many trials followed the war as BTA members began leaving in flocks. In total 27 BTA members left in the days following the withdrawal, some wishing to continue fighting, some thinking the war was stupid and wanting out, and still others wanting to create an alliance of their own.
As rebuilding began the BTA found itself in a crises with a complete lack of leadership in most areas and a lack of income. Rebuilding from the ground up many BTA nations have returned to there previous strength and are prospering with greater numbers than before.
While the war was a sacrifice to many BTA members a resolute BTA has rebuilt itself from the ground up re doing its charter, military, and application process.
The Sphere[]
On 3 March 2007, the BTA signed a treaty known as 'The Sphere Web' [2] with fellow alliances MRA, R&R and GoG (later, NCAAbbs and MCB also join). This treaty formalised the relationship between these alliances, agreeing to non-aggression and mutual defense (should the need arise).
