Some people actually voted yes?! Can we here from them please?! @Virilius: If alliances were to stay in Defcon 1 indefinitely, their economies would suffer, esp for the smaller nations. It just isn't practical.

Please, someone needs to make it stop!!

In case anyone didn't know, CROWN is pretty awesome

Consolidated Policy isn't very consolidated...... oh, hi ICON! /me waves

nonsense, you don't have to be big to start your own alliance. Although, you should be prepared for your alliance to see very little growth. And, little alliances tend to be the targets of tech raids, so be careful. What you do need to figure out though, is what you want your alliance's ideals to be. You can't begin to write a charter if you don't know that.

heh, I know it's a long post. tl;dr OFS is awesome!

Whoops, sorry for double posting. Can this thread be locked/deleted?

May I enquire as to which three, and what things you may want to know that might sway you?

zomg the alliances of LW are going to annihilate us?!

heh, well, we aren't completely broke, but new members won't get the $1 mil the day they join either. OFS won't be down for long NoV

Aid for new members=1 mil Doesn't that sound sweet?

haha, only a little And if you were a veteran, wouldn't you know which forum to look in for a listing of alliance ads? Say, the Player Created Alliances forum?

A lot has happened with OFS, but we're still kicking! We offer many opportunities to get involved and make the most out of your CN experience!

Like Dito said, we have guides, but they aren't just any guides; They're GOONS guides. You know, one of the strongest alliances in the game?
