LeonidasRexII Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) There's been a lot of talk lately of who stands by which treaty. That along with the impressive (if somewhat heavy handed) reaction of several friends of GOONS to their UOKMB problem prompted this question. Which of these alliances is best at holding up their end of treaty agreements? The top 16 alliances along with 9 other Top 40 alliances were chosen for this poll. If you feel that a particularly stalwart alliance has been left out let us know. Edited September 11, 2010 by LeonidasRexII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta1212 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 GOD... actually, if I'm going to start listing alliances, it's going to take a while. You're really missing quite a few major ones, and a number of alliances listed (most notably the neutrals) shouldn't be up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the neutrals are 'paperless' their level of commitment can still be judged. The word treaty is in the poll because 99% of Planet Bob has them.

DragonsPhyre Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 There's precious few alliances that are truly worthy of the notion of being a friend even unto death, and the absence of one of them on this poll does them a grave disservice. The Imperial Assault Alliance fought for the Global Alliance until the point came for them to disband, forever earning a lasting admiration from us. I could ask for no better group of friends and even now, I am humbled by the memory. The Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations and United Sovereign Nations are also alliances worthy of inclusion, as they chose to honor their treaties to enter the same war, despite facing overwhelming odds and certain defeat. The CSN was honoring the cancellation clause at the time and the USN came in on behalf of CSN. Both are, as IAA, true to their word and worth every ounce of respect I hold for that.

Sephiroth Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I voted TOP, although I couldn't help but notice you didn't include NSO who I would strongly consider. A lot of those alliance don't even come to mind when I consider alliances who are always good to their friends, rather than just opportunists who are friends when things are going for good for an 'ally' but cancel if things look bad or they need help.
