I'd like to invite you to join Vanguard, a small but professional alliance that is looking for smart and active recruits. We offer a chance to influence the government by running for office, participating in discussions, or proposing ideas. Less active members will grow quickly, for we provide generous aid and economic advice through guides and nation audits. More importantly, we're a friendly and entertaining group.
Our government runs well, with positions for war, diplomacy, recruiting, education, and finance to ensure that every job gets done and bimonthly elections to keep leaders active. Vanguard's founder, Revanche, and his assistant, QuiteTheUserName, lead the alliance. I've found Revanche to be a skilled writer with a solid grasp of politics and QTUN to be a dedicated player with a knack for diplomacy. Both welcome feedback and ideas.
We're a polite group that tries to resolve conflicts with diplomacy, signs treaties only with people we trust, and writes even those treaties carefully, so we will rarely enter an unnecessary war. However, we will defend ourselves and our allies, who include Echelon, Ragnarok, ODN, ARES, NV, Greenland Republic, and Ordo Verde.
Vanguard resides in Orange, a peaceful sphere with enough members to enable bonus-granting trades.
If you're interested, we'd welcome questions here, on our forums, or in our IRC channel, #Vanguard on coldfront.net. Our charter follows.
