[/quote] It is so because the founders of FAR respected FEAR so much that we just had to mimic their name. We were originally to be named "FAER" but that didn't work out. In seriousness, it just is. They are two different words. At least comparing our name to FEAR's is not as bad as the people who cleverly said that "FAR is just FIRE with a southern accent" upon our formation.

Has that goal remained constant or has it changed since then? [/quote] Our goal... like any alliance we want growth. I guess you could call us a "normal" alliance as we are not overly militaristic or specially themed or anything. On a bigger scale, we try to be very involved with the blue sphere and its alliances. Our outlook has changed a lot since we started, as many of our founders left and our government structure and charter have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was what we came up with that all could agree upon. Many other names were possible but we were like YES...nah. So we went with this as it was what we could all agree on. No real intention to copy a name. I'm sure the many alliances with Order, Global, etc don't mean to copy each other either.

That has worked but some that started with us have moved on to either leaving planet bob or moved on to create their own alliance. The core group remains in place and we have added quite a few solid members. We remain friends with those that chose to leave but we were disappointed but its fine as we can always rely on each other if situations should arise.

Skippy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 I haven't been getting a good vibe from FAR's relations to us since they pulled out of Sirius. Could I get an "official stance" on your viewpoint on us? If it is negative, could you explain why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't available at the time that the decision to pull out was made, but I would have supported it and stand by it now. I think everyone was a little fired up afterward, and some people may have gone too far. Why would we make enemies out of the people we should be friends with? Sirius is made up of alliances our size that belong to our sphere and we like everyone involved. Its just that none of them were very close to us, and we weren't comfortable with entering once our good friends had decided not to join. We still have interest in building relations with your alliance as well as the others involved with Sirius, and maybe someday we might join.

Skippy Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 That is good to hear. I hold no ill will towards FAR either. Fernando has mis understood a rating I gave FAR (and UINE/tLW) in one of those "Rate alliance" threads. That gave me a strong impression of disdain towards us. I'm glad to hear your thoughts on us. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
