KGB Signs Seige Perilous Pact of True Honor
The Treaty praised as a Visionary Break through

 

(Seige Perilous - The Swamp) Written by Mahja, of Brothers in Honor, and lobbied by Crassus of Family Ta'Kier, the body of work making up the SP Pact of True Honor has been filled with optimism, throughout the Seige Perilous Community. The treaty is much akin to a 'Mission Statement' concerning the behavior and actions of guilds following a philosophy of 'honor'. "True Honor is so simple yet it eludes us all on some days, yet is crystal clear on others. Honor is a word used by everyone but not truely understood by everyone. The Pact is an attempt at this. It is not a perfect document nor was it drafted by a perfect person or guild. It is a start by those who's purpose is to "Keep Honor Alive", said Mahja (BiH).

One of the harder lessons KGB has learned since its historic landing in Trinsic, is that 'reds' can also have honor. On our many journeys throughout this world, report after report of heroic rescues and resurrections of slain KGB on the field by various 'reds'. The Dark Covenant (DC) guild has joined KGB side by side against UDL attacks in the T2A lands, and heal hurt and wounded KGB. The Family of Ta'Kier, despite recent strained relations, has been a model of honor and integrity for all to follow. "We have acknowledged that there are many reds who fight for the same principles as we do, and in some cases we share common enemies,"said KGB Foreign Minister Evak Vos'x. "But its been a hard transition for a traditional and long standing Anti-murderer guild. In most cases red meant 'murderer' for us, but we are adjusting" Vos'x said.

It is only logical that Guilds of Honor define what "True Honor" is - Mahja of BiH

Signing the SP Pact of True Honor has been an extension of the traditional beliefs of the KGB. Many of the principles stated in the agreement mirror those found in the KGB Constitution and the Member Code. Some of the highlight of the SP Pact of True Honor:

I. General Principal: No group that is signed up to this agreement are PK’s or allow "PK'ing" in their guild..

For the purpose of this agreement a Murderer is defined as one who:

    1. Murders innocent people at random.
    2. Murders innocent people for 'sport' or 'entertainment'.
    3. Murders innocent people for the purpose of taking their belongings.
    4. The act of killing or in any way assists in the killing of an innocent person for the purpose of stealing his/her property.

      Notes:

    5. A PK in this instance could be Red or Blue.
    6. An "Innocent" could be Red, Blue, [Evil] or [Hero].
    7. The Hue of ones skin has no bearing on their Honor.

II. Assisting the Dishonorable General Principal: Providing assistance to those without Honor spreads that dishonor to those providing such assistance.

III. The Murdering of the Newly Resurrected General Principal: Those who have been slain in Honorable combat and newly resurrected are not a threat to any armed Warrior. As such is considered innocent.

IV. Stealing from a corpse one took no part in vanquishing. General Principal: The Warrior(s) who have slain an enemy or creature are the sole owners of the loot from the corpse.

Some more interesting principles this Pact contains is the basis of group evaluation. "It is further recognized that one is not only judged by his/her actions but by those of their clan, guild, or associates. Therefore this pact is a pact for guilds to make certain all know that they recognize and value "True Honor". In this way, regardless of the actions of any individual, it is the organization that will garnish the final credit or burden the final penalty. Hopefully, those who pioneer this vast new territory of the virtues, will find more common ground amongst each other - and forge new understandings of the 'proper' and 'honorable' ways of doing both battle and peace.
