Treaty of Purton

A battle in the 'War that never happened' between forces of Djinnaken and the NPE

The Treaty of Purton was proposed in order to conclude the war between the Warsaw Pact and Djinnaken that became known as the war that never happened. It was developed by the leaders of the WSP before the war once they had become satisfied in their cassus belli and ability to win.

Invalidity and Controversy

The Treaty of Purton was deemed invalid and voided along with the War that Never Happened by Djinn Spell for a variety of reasons. Reasons cited by Djinn Spell include the fact that the Warsaw Pact violated the rules of gameplay by destroying a nation without their proper retalliation and defense, giving no regards to the sizeable defenses of the defending nation, and continually ignoring official warnings and decisions of the thread owner and continually proceeding in attempting illegal forcing of a treaty in a rowdy and annoying manner.

Subsequently, many members of the Warsaw Pact claimed that Djinn Spell's ruling was unfair and biased, as he was the owner of the nation Djinnaken in question and was the player under attack. The debate has not been settled to date.

It should be noted that accounts fromn either sides of the argument should not be taken for face value, as all parties who can recall the argument with a great amount of detail are affected by bias and the fault of memory. This can be demonstrated by the mistakes in this article; for instance the above treaty mentions Poland as a Djinnaken land when in fact it was not a Djinnaken possession at this time. One can assume from the nature of this mistake that Waterice has been saving this treaty, hoping to use it for a long time. Likewise, one can assume from this section of the page that Djinn Spell has been readying his defense for an equal amount of time.
