From some of the details on their site, it does appear that this man has at least some knowledge in gameplay. But:
I have been in an alliance before (in fact, I am in one now), yet I would not go out, unprotected, into the wilderness that is Planet Bob with an alliance of seven members, the strongest of which not even 5k in strength. You are going to be attacked, sooner or later. I reiterate what I said earlier: do not announce your existence before you have protectors.
I seriously advise, out of sympathy, that you rethink your decision to go independent, at least until you have more support. At the very lowest level, you should have a government and diplomatic relations with an already well-established alliance.
(Most importantly, the extremely poor use of English on their site - never before have I seen such an insult towards the English language - disgusts me.)
