  1. So this is an idea I've been toying with and tossed around with some alliancemates for a while now, and thought I'd finally push it out there. Goal: Encourage new strategic decisions, and add depth to war tactics and alliance building. Idea: An alliance reserve system tied to the number of improvements and wonders a given alliance possesses. The alliance reserve, in my idea, consists of money and soldiers. However, other aspects (planes, nukes, etc.) could be added for even more strategic decisions, or soldiers could be taken away for simplicity. Procedure: Every bank raises the reserve by $500,000. Every Federal Aid Commission adds $1,000,000. Every Barracks raises the soldier reserves by 5,000. Every Pentagon and Weapons Research Complex raises the soldier reserves by 10,000. In order to actually add value to the reserves the money/soldiers must be donated by a given nation residing on the alliance affiliation. The designated leader can decide how to distribute funds/soldiers as they see fit. Once distributed the money/soldiers are gone, but can be rebuilt should a given nation decide to donate more. The distribution takes up no aid slot (obviously, since this is TE). A given nation can only receive 1 distribution every 10 days. Distributions max out at $2,000,000 / 20,000 soldiers. Use: To be determined. This will certainly add depth to the war process as money and soldiers could be funneled to nations in need. Furthermore, a lot of this can be implemented into alliance building strategy (ie. funneling money to a large nation and build an upper-tier that can in-turn prop up the reserve at a later date, or helping several smaller nations build up to form a solid mid-tier). Admittedly there may become a time when $2,000,000 no longer has a profound impact on a given nation, and it remains to be seen how this particular issue will be addressed. Potential Variations: Aforementioned adding of planes, tanks, nukes, etc to the reserve system (amounts tied to other improvements and wonders). Tying max distribution amounts to nation strength, or infrastructure level. Different caps. Possible max donation level for a given nation. Obviously welcoming additional feedback/thoughts/concerns.
  2. Unfortunate. Good luck to all the former TSI members.
  3. Flags were my fault... and TiTaN's laziness in not fixing them.
  4. I have to give a huge thanks to DT for all they've done to help us along. Couldn't ask for better protectors, mentors, allies, and friends.
  5. Sad but necessary? Lines being drawn? I blame Umbrella...
  6. [center][/center] The human is born free, and everywhere he is chains: the chains of social structure, of economics, of norms and of culture, and above all, the chains of themselves. Many believe themselves a master of others only to become more a slave than they are. In order to free themselves of these chains, we seek creation of order and government to dictate what is right, just, and best. In doing so, we ignore the most natural order of all, the family. The artificial orders create guides, then rules, then laws, then mandates. The social structure of these orders and governments has failed, leaving us only at the mercy of more chains. It is with this in mind, that as a collective we seek not to establish rule, but freedom. We seek to establish a family of like-minded individuals seeking truth, love, and freedom. We thus create, Civitas Solis not as an order, but as a beacon of hope. Not to dictate what to do and not to do, but to exemplify what can be done. Each human being is born free, their liberty belongs to them. No human has the right to dispose of their freedom except themselves. And though the previous generations and those surrounding them can place stipulations in their name, they can never completely dispose of it. In order, then, that an arbitrary government might be legitimate, it would be necessary that the people at each generation, at any time, and in every manner have the option of accepting or rejecting it. Now it must also be noted that human kind cannot create new force, and thus have no other means of self-preservation than a combination of many. In this combination it is of absolute necessity that the strength and freedom of each individual is the chief instruments of his preservation. And thus, we arrive at the ultimate goal of our particular establishment: To find a form of association which may defend and protect with the whole force of the community the person and property of every associate, and by means of which, coalescing with all, may nevertheless obey only their own desires, and remain as free as before. As such the founding principles of our establishment shall be: equity, freedom, and sincerity. These principles shall be binding, to the point that the following doctrines of the charter so established in the formation of this community shall seek to serve these principles to an end and as a means. And with that, the formation of the family of Civitas Solis does so establish the following charter as a recognition of our establishment on this planet… [center][/center] [center]Charter of Civitas Solis[/center] I. Preamble a. Civitas Solis (henceforth referred to as "Solis") is founded on the principles of devotion, integrity, and candor.

If a member consistently acts in a way that is detrimental to the alliance The Hoh, or any Princeps may expel that member from the alliance.

However, Solis reserves the right to warn whatever alliance they chose to join of the offenses committed by the expelled party. c. Any member is free to leave Solis whenever they so choose with no animosity or ill will whatsoever.
