Delta1212 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Man, you got buckets of cash. The first aid I ever got was in the aftermath of GW3.EDIT: If I recall correctly, RIA's joining aid was originally $5,000, which was a damned fortune for our nations at the time. EDIT2: Heh, scouring the old RIA forums, I discovered our first recruitment contest, in which the reward was a massive 15k for first, 10k for second, and 5k for third. Huge numbers. Yeah, we had one nation in the top 5% at the time that made something stupidly huge like 200k a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin McDonald Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I did not receive any starter aid. By the time my alliance was in a position to provide it to me, I was already gov and decided to defer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sci Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 (edited) When I joined CN, no alliances offered join up aid. You picked your alliance based on what their values and system of government was. NPO was the most powerful, but only because they had many members. GATO was second, but more respected and had the majority of all top 10 nations. (I chose them, because they were the strongest democracy) LUE was closed admission. GGA was the pariah alliance that was paranoid about the NPO. GPA was just cool and chillin' in their neutrality. ODN, well, they were losing a war against the NPO. NAAC was recovering from the first Polar War. Legion was kinda just... there. Although I actually almost joined them because I had signed up in the purple sphere. And there were no other serious alliances. At the time, none of those alliance's total strength would get them into today's sanction race. And 100 members? THAT WAS GREAT! /end of old CN man stuff Edited June 19, 2009 by Sir Sci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodemofi-NPO Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 When I joined NPO didn't give me any money. STA hasn't given me any money either. Apparently I'm not very good at picking my alliances. I do remember getting 50k to prep for Great War 2 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr hairy Ballz Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Well if the only reason anyone joins an alliance is the start up cash what kind of loyalty will that breed in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yeah I thought it was obvious, but I guess Lafayette's slow to catch onto my military command make-work program This is why I do Comms and not military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Soviet Attack Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 A friend of mine sent me $20,000 when I joined. What a hero. Also, I got $30,000 for joining CIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandal Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Well if the only reason anyone joins an alliance is the start up cash what kind of loyalty will that breed in the end? It doesn't when you don't make them work for it like going through training or taking a test. It just becomes a large alliance of Aid Hobos.

Viluin Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 (edited) Startup aid is just silly, it attracts people like the OP to your alliance.. 1 day and he already screams "WHERS MAH MONEEY?!".. lol. EDIT: Judging by his nation he still hasn't gotten it. Edited June 26, 2009 by Viluin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
