Astronaut Jones talks about alliances.
What do you owe your alliance?
If your alliance has not helped you grow, what do you owe them? If you have not taken anything, do you owe them simply for being there, and the "protection" they offer, knowing that every other alliance offers the same protection?
There is this notion that you owe your alliance ... something, for merely being able to join. Because they offer protection, and the potential for growth, and all they ask in return is for you to abide by their rules, and to give ... something. They want you to sacrifice for the greater good, which is the alliance. If you have never taken, however, do you really owe them anything when the protection and growth potential were never realized, and your acceptance into their ranks is no bigger a detail to you, and to them, than the acceptance of one hundred others just like you? Do you not bring value to the alliance merely by being there, and is that not something to take into account by the individual when alliances claim that there is something owed by you, to them?
There are 3 people, as Astronaut Jones, that I can say I genuinely owe something to. Outside of those 3 people, I have never taken from anyone, or any alliance.
So, what do you owe, if you have never taken?
(for clarity, the 3 are Kaitlink, Mila, and iFOK.)
