The AUT Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I don't believe you can adequately fit all Cybernations alliances into that category. For instance look at the Corporation. We are not a high profile alliance at all, some of our government may be relatively known but we have no major figure such as a Van Hoo or an Ivan Moldavi attracting members through their reputation. Nor are we a break off alliance. Our membership spans from all corners of Planet Bob be it Polar, Ragnarok, Wolfpack, RIA, IPA or any of the other countless affiliations our employee's have called home. We're not an invasion alliance as all of us are home grown on Cybernations. Finally we're not a scratch alliance as we haven't DoE'd yet and we're roughly 735,000 TNS. I do think that your first four classifications are good but they're not all inclusive. Of course not, just a very general one. As I said, in time hopefully more can add onto it and make it better.

Hooah, figured I'd give you some insight as to something that you missed. Though, honestly, I have no idea what kind of classification the Corporation would fall into :-p.

James I Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 History is important, but that doesn't mean that how an alliance was founded is its most important feature in determining its identity. Unless of course you think MK's defining characteristic is being a GOONS satellite. Especially as we're an \m/ satellite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Novus Orbus were hardly a "major alliance". Most people wouldn't think of NO as a major alliance *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seerow Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Especially as we're an \m/ satellite. Pretty sure we're also a spinoff of NAAC. Can't forget that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Obama Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 That applies to most successful invasion alliances. Edit: @Khyber I suppose so. I don't think that most of NPOs membership ever played !@#$%*, but it is still an invasion alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondor Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 A really good read. There is crossover in nearly almost every alliance for each category (except 3) but most can be put under one general group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haflinger Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Novus Orbus were hardly a "major alliance". Why thank you, that was my point. My point was that Invicta could easily get categorized in #2, except that, well, what you said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffron X Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) Pretty sure we're also a spinoff of NAAC. Can't forget that. That's Greenland Republic you're thinking of. MK is a spinoff of LUE, not NAAC. (I am using the same amount of sarcasm as you are, by the way.)

Voodoo Nova Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Scratch alliances rock :v I've tried twice. They do rock and they are a pain to get them to work. If they do, there is nothing stopping that alliance from being great. Also, what about the reformed alliance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londo Mollari Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Scratch alliances are pretty nice.I think you should include absorbing alliances, alliances whos history is almost completely merges or absorption. RoK, Athens, what was DE (well that kinda counts as Athens)... etc To be fair Athens has had a period of 6 months + with no mergers. And there is quite a bit more to our history than just mergers and absorptions. Personally, if forced to fit us into one of these categories, I consider us as a scratch alliance with many branches. I have been in a leading role since I was a 60 day old nation, and I've learned a great deal along the way. The name changed once, when Athens was first formed from Camelot and HotU, but other than that I have been in a leading role in our community for 486 days. Other significant leadership figures in our community - such as rsoxbronco1 and Max, also started out as noobs and learned as they went along, much as I did. So our leadership is in my opinion pretty much entirely indigenous, we don't have too many famous people who made a name for themselves in other alliances that didn't merge up into Athens (kamichi was one of our founders, but he left some time ago).

USMC123 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Also, what about the reformed alliance? All I've got to say is third time is the charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriekfreak Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I think the whole of Purple can be categorized in #2. Most of them are spun off from Legion if I recall their history correctly. Hell, even iFOK can be classified as #2. Although we also have a little bit of #1 in us.

wolfprince Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 956 days ago I created a nation after being asked for some time by a close friend. After 12 days of being "raided" due to my evil NONE status the Wolfpack was founded. I guess that makes us a #4 Alliance Oh and yes Scratch alliances rock!!
