Consider Camelot. Although currently small in numbers, we have 2 ex-experienced government from what was a 2 million NS, 150 member alliance before it merged with Ragnarok - the ASC. (Trades and MoFA). Our aggressive tech trade/aid/trade circles program will make your nation grow like lightning. http://camelot.ipbfree.com/ http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Camelot I also run the CAFE, an aqua interalliance trade program with 199 registered members and nearly 300 nations in the trade circles database, and so we have very significant trading contacts with every aqua sphere alliance. http://cafe.ipbfree.com/index.php We are also protected militarily by the might of the Mushroom Kingdom, so tech raids shouldn't be a problem. Our IRC channel at #camelot is much more populated than you would expect, and that can only increase as we grow. 71K NS is tiny, but we are bound for much, much bigger things. We have the experience, the knowledge, and the dedication to build an amazing alliance, and positions are open at all levels of government, so there is room to advance all the way up. I hope you will consider us.

Nevermind, someone has explained to me that this results from someone having read and deleted my message...

Camelot Nineteen nations. 128,000 NS. We are the thin, plate-mail clad line of knights and commoners, lords and ladies, warriors, merchants, and peasants - who stand united against the cold night of CN. Camelot was founded about three weeks ago by six ex-ASC nations. Although we are small, we are experienced and well connected. Two of our members, the Magician and King of the alliance, held government positions in the ASC. We know how to keep your nation safe, we know how to make your nation grow, we know how to get the best trades possible for you.. and we know how to have fun! We are a protectorate of the inestimable Mushroom Kingdom, and priority will be given to the same in our sales of technology. If you can sell tech, and you join us, all five of your slots will be filled with tech trades at all times. We'll help you with this, and help you grow your nation into a mighty superpower. If you are an older nation, you'll have a large pool of young nations to securely buy tech from - no hassles, no fuss, no work. You send out some money, and you have tech flowing in. We can also likely find you better trades than you have. There is also plenty of opportunity to hold a government position in Camelot, for there is much work to be done. You have to prove that you are loyal, and active, but then you can quickly work your way up through the ranks, from commoner to squire to knight and higher. We have government positions open at all levels. ;-) And they'll remain open until suitable candidates come to fill them, and prove their mettle. This could be you! You can find us on IRC at #camelot on coldfront Our forums are at: [http://camelot.ipbfree.com Read about us on our wiki at: http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Camelot Join us.

Alliance (full name, acronym): Camelot Alliance Color: Aqua Alliance IRC Channel: #camelot [coldfront] URL to forums: http://camelot.ipbfree.com/

CAFE has now reached 138 registered members, and the database of players to be matched is close to 250 aquazzzzz. Every aqua alliance has people in this. The leaders of your alliance have probably already registered. Since its inception, 3 optimal Fast Food/Beer/Construction/+27.5% population circles have been activated. 7 or 8 More are in the pipeline, pending confirmation from all the people involved. New trade circles are being formed every day by expert aqua alliance trade officials. http://cafe.ipbfree.com/index.php Check us out.

Seriously, guys. There are over 200 people getting put in circles over at CAFE. We're closing in on 100 registered members. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to get into a stable trading circle.

Oh yeah... our IRC channel is at #CAFE on coldfront. This is big, you don't want to miss it. Already about 200 people there getting put in circles and representatives from most of the major aqua alliances moving things along.

Come one, come all. Come to represent your alliance or come by yourself. Come with partially finished circles or just a single resource pair. Come with a list of people who need to be in circles or come alone. You will be placed, in time. Those with "hotter" resource combinations will be placed first, but we will make every effort to make sure that everyone who comes to us will not be turned away into the cold. We are open. Representatives from ASC, Fark, NATO, MHA, RoK, and TAB are standing by. Contact your government to become an aqua trade representative today! Register and sign up to be placed in a circle today. The CAFE is now open for business. http://cafe.ipbfree.com/index.php?act=idx

Yaaaaaar matey! Londo be wearin' his pirate hat today. Join the ASC. It's a great place to be, with a good number of smart and experienced players (the second-oldest nation in CN is a leader of our alliance). There are opportunities to make friends with cool people, and plenty of people to help you out with advice on how to best grow your nation if you just ask. There are also plenty of people to buy tech from you if you're a young nation that would like to grow quickly. If you're interested in friendship with cool people and growing your nation at the same time, the ASC is the right place for you. I encourage you to join today. http://atlanticshadowconfederation.ipbfree...dex.php?act=idx

What are your ambitions? What do you want from an alliance? What is your ideal alliance all about?

One more circle has filled up. People are being notified.

Wow, KevinHarbin, you're doing my work for me! :-p Great job. Unfortunately, a mistake was made and a player in my alliance was included in two different trade circles under his nation and ruler names, respectively. I am diligently working to find a replacement aluminum/lumber trade. I can see to it that the other player gets 3M to join the circle long term, so that should speed up the process considerably. Thank you for your patience. If you will hang tight, I will get this all hashed out. And thanks for finding a marble/rubber player.

I'm sorry that your nation is dying. And I am sorry that you are having a difficult time finding a trade circle. I can only do so much, and naturally, my efforts will always have their primary focus in helping my alliance. I will keep you in mind, but that is all I can do right now.

Alliances generally want loyal and active players who will interact well with their existing member base. Any alliance worth anything will have aid programs to build the nations of active players. And tech deals. You can make 7-8 million profit per month by doing tech deals, and sometimes more. The growth of your nation is less dependent on the alliance that you join and more on you as a player. Do you really want to be nothing more than a street prostitute, out peddling yourself for all you can get? That is what you are doing amounts to. Do you really think alliance leaders are foolish enough to think you would be loyal in time of need? I suggest that you try to hook up with one of the "just another number" alliances. You'll figure out which ones I am talking about soon enough. Good alliances value things like friendship, camaraderie, loyalty, and of course, activity. You don't seem to offer any of the first three. Please try to take this as constructive criticism rather than a flame. Londo

No, but I will put you in my spreadsheet and think about what kind of aqua trading circle you might fit into. It may take a week or two, but you won't need to do anything unless I contact you with activation instructions.

Captain Ian - Business of Terror would fit nicely into the last circle on the page, I think. If he wanted different trades I could put him into a subsequent circle also, but that one seems pretty decent. I'll put him down as provisional. Kevinharbin- You've been added. I will contact you when that circle is ready with a timetable and instructions. May the Aqua sphere bring you great prosperity.

If you are a member of the ASC, or a member of a friendly aqua team alliance (I think that's all of them, right? ), then sign up here if you wish to be placed in a trade circle. Hell, sign up here if you have aqua love, for the love of aqua truly runs deep like the ocean. You will go into my labyrynthine spreadsheet and emerge at some point in the future as one name on a list of six. I can either put you in what I feel is the best circle for you and send you the proposal later on, or you can specify what other resources you want in your circle. My primary goal as the newly appointed ASC deputy trade officer is the strengthening of my alliance's economy, though of course I am happy to spread the aqua love around the sphere and strengthen everyone's economy along with it. Help me help you... optimize your trades. Let's make the aqua sphere the most kick-$@! place to do trading on Planet Bob. Oh, and here are the circles I have started but have not yet filled up. Aluminum: Lumber: Filled Marble: Iron: Filled Cattle: Filled Sugar: Spices: Pigs: Filled Water: Wheat: Filled Fish: Uranium: Filled Construction, Fast Food, and Beer, with uranium. It doesn't get much better than this. Aluminum: Coal: Filled Fish: kevinharbin Furs: Filled Iron: Filled Lumber: Marble: Otto Skorzeny Oil: Filled Rubber: Otto Skorzeny Water: Filled Wheat: Filled Wine: kevinharbin Automobiles, Construction, Asphalt, Beer, and Steel, with furs and wine. A very solid circle. Iron: Lumber: Fish: Wheat: Cattle: Gold: Filled Gems: Filled Silver: Filled Uranium: Filled Coal: Pigs: Sugar: Fine Jewelry and Steel. +27.5% population, maxiumum possible infra bill reduction without asphalt. This circle is for big nations that buy infra infrequently.... it may not be popular so I made another version of it also.... Gold: Filled Gems: Filled Coal: Silver: Filled Fish: Wine: Furs: Wheat: Cattle: Iron: Lumber: Uranium: Filled This version gets Affluent population and ends up with +26% pop and 2 more happiness than the other circle. Some of the resources required are not as desirable so it may be more plausible than the first circle. Possibly better for small nations too. Aluminum: Lumber: Filled Marble: Filled Iron: Filled Cattle: Filled Sugar: Spices: Pigs: Filled Water: Filled Wheat: Fish: Filled Uranium: Filled A second circle Construction, Fast Food, and Beer, with uranium. It doesn't get much better than this. Aluminum: Filled Lumber: Filled Marble: relyt92 Iron: TimTebow Wheat: Business of Terror Cattle: Filled Fish: relyt92 Coal: TimTebow Gold: Filled Lead: Filled Oil: Business of Terror Water: Filled Gives: Construction, Beer, Microchips, Scholars, +21% population, Steel, Microchips, and Radiation Cleanup.

Man, I wish I could be the like guys in Office Space... write a program that takes all the fractional tech units and deposits them in an account... Except I would wake up, my nation would have 33456546 tech, and the entire world would be DOWing on me.
