Loki's Words of Wisdom #5 (For Alliance Leaders)


Malik Shabazz

1,611 views

There is a reason why some alliances last for years and others do not. While the competence of an alliance's leaders has a lot to do with its success, another thing that a lot of people don't consider is the beliefs that an alliance lives by. NPO has Francoism, GOONS has trolling, GPA and similar alliances have Neutrality, INT has communism; the list goes on and on. In order to keep membership, you must have a set of beliefs; an ideology, a philosophy, a purpose, a grand cause that everyone must work towards. As an alliance, if you having nothing attracting members other than "protection and free aid", then you seriously need to evaluate your alliance and make the right changes before it's too late.

If you have no purpose as an alliance, no reason to exist, then good luck attracting members who actually want to amount to something in CN. In addition, good luck in amounting to anything in CN yourselves. So if you plan on starting an alliance, or you are currently in the government of an alliance; I hope you heed this advice.

I think that community is less significant than an alliance's larger purpose. Having a community is one thing, but what's the point of having a community if you have no unifying beliefs?

The unifying belief is the community. The main objective of this game is to thrive, and if you're thriving with people you hate, what's the point? Community is the foundation for the political game now that raiding isn't considered "immoral." People ally friends since there's nothing real to fight over. The only exceptions are those alliances who practice realpolitik, and TOP repeatedly stated (in a forum where literally nobody would give a $%&@ if they blatantly admitted it) that they wouldn't have dropped MK to the wolves if MK had continued its existence, despite numerous calls to do so.

Friendship and communities are the glue holding alliances together.

Even in an alliance where everyone is cool with each other, if the alliance as a whole is boring and has no other reason to exist other than "community"; then what's the point?
