I'd say in my experience enough to hold you over ten days past nuclear anarchy if you're in range of nuclear nations and ten days past anarchy if you're not. Only you know what you spend.

Welcome to Planet Bob. If you need any advice drop me a PM in game. I offered another newbie a couple kernels of advice on choosing an alliance in the OWF. Please read it and choose wisely as it will shape your nation for the long term.

As a recent re-roller, the generic recruitment messages were pretty constant in spite of intent written into my motto. I lol'd. As someone who's been on both the recruited and recruiter side here's what I would look for if I were looking as a new nation: Aid- Not just in form of cash and prizes, which don't get me wrong is just lovely and thoughtful but if they're not willing to teach you how to build your nation it's basically them peeing into the wind and expecting not to get wet. But at the same time you can't be compulsory in having people advance their nations especially if it's not like you would do it. We're not automatons. Camaraderie- Sooner or later you're gonna need a battle buddy. Sometimes you won't even know right away. If you are in the right alliance it won't be a question. You won't need a nation sitter, anyone with any design on your nation won't last long. Loyalty- Who do you turn to? If you're not willing to take a ZI for em, you are likely in the wrong alliance. This is what I look for and why I returned to the fold of Echelon after a year away. I wish you the best of luck on your journey and if you need any advice PM me in game. -Neo

Sorry so late on this. Been walking the walk on this spankin' new hotness. RnR has proven themselves great friends to Echelon, so this was a natural extension of that friendship. o/ R&R o/ AiD o/ Echelon

[quote name='Kevanovia' timestamp='1294372686' post='2566764'] Echelon are still an alliance? Good show! I thought you guys were dead. Congrats on cleaning up the mess. [/quote] Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. To be honest I thought the same of CIS. Glad to be mistaken.

[font="Trebuchet MS"] “Never so noble as to lay one’s life down for a friend”. Strong words, definitive unmistakable meaning. It is in that spirit I come to you today as Echelon’s Director. Recently the Alliance for International Defence, a mutual ally and protectorate of both ourselves and R&R was viciously attacked by members of UINE. Though they were clearly under not one but two protection agreements the nations in question proceeded with their raid, one continuing to do so after being asked to stop by his own leadership. Any nation who has been around Planet Bob for any length of time realizes this behavior is unacceptable and dire consequences are often exacted from such behavior, either monetarily or militarily. This case is no different. The nations in question and their alliance have rebuffed multiple attemps at the former, so it is up to us to resort to the latter on behalf of the AiD. Despite an option for financial reparations, UINE leadership refused and instead offered up these nations for ZI. We feel that is excessive, and as such a multi-alliance task force has been assembled to exact the payment due to the nations in question for their misdeeds. Elements of forces from R&R, Echelon, and AiD will be carrying out daily strikes upon the guilty parties for a period of 7 days. One of these nations, The Oysterhead of The Oyster Republic, for their individual actions will be ZI’d. In addition any nation who comes to their aid financially or tactically will also be declared upon by reserve elements on standby. It is sad it has come to this, but we can not allow this to stand with our friend’s nations on the block.

After about the sixth one as I recall from my younger stupider days you don't taste the epic beer fail anymore and you can continue on the express train to Barfville and proceed to Hangover Junction

Brother Solidus, I have said my piece on the matter via private channels. Nothing said out here will add or subtract from that. We in Echelon still consider you a friend and wish you nothing but the best.
