StephenFAustin Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Seeing as if you know your history large portions of Oklahoma and New Mexico where part of the Republic not to mention the fact that parts of Colorado and Wyoming where also apart it does not only include Texas as it exists today. It also pays homage to the fact that Cybernations is based in Texas. We do not wish to alienate anyone, as a matter of fact the opposite is true. Anyone is welcome as members.The Texas army in 1836 had soldiers in their ranks from every existing US state at the time, and a number of countries including but not limited too France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Mexico, Spain, The Uk and its common wealth countries, Ireland, Italy, and Russia. Anyone with a free mind and a free spirit may ask to fly our flag without accepting Texas as its home. We First and foremost seek to allow people to experience the melting pot culture of Texas. Y'all are welcome. Remember there were Six Flags over Texas and anyone associated with us are free to fly those standards as our brothers and sisters as we hope we may raise a many of the alliances of planet Bob's standards beside our own.

StephenFAustin Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 MaGneT thank you. I never knew LSR nor did I know any of its members yet I am glad they existed, and that Texas was represented well by them. I hope that this alliance may do the same. The Lone Star Symbol is one we stayed away from because of the "Lone" Part of the Lone Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenFAustin Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 A nation refers to a cultural and geographic entity i.e the Cherokee Nation. A state is the governing body of a said nation. A country is the melding of the two. Therefore John Steinbeck was correct when he said "Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word" he was referring to her people and the geography.

R3nowned Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1311099651' post='2759359'] Member count is the only metric of success. [/quote] No, but it is certainly an important one. If an alliance cannot get the ball rolling in acquiring members, it will inevitably fail. Recruitment is highly important to an alliance's survival. The theme (and name) of this alliance almost ensures that any one not living in the area will not join. That is a huge hindrance to an alliance's growth and prosperity. I know that CN is based in Texas, but most if its players certainly aren't. Of course, if they play to their strengths, they will become a successful alliance. It will, however, take even more work than getting an alliance like mine rolling, as it caters only to a small target audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Gremlins never recruited, CoJ doesn't recruit, I'm sure there are other examples. The idea that an alliance has to recruit or attain a certain size to be successful or to survive is myopic. An alliance's success is measured by whether it is meeting its own goals, not bars set by an OWF observer whose ideal situation is the propagation of one cookie-cutter sanction hound meatgrinder alliance after another.
