This Summer, not long after our founding, our young Alliance found itself in need of something to strive for--goals, if you will. And while numbers are not the be-all end-all in this world, we decided they were as good a place to start as any. One fine August day we set our sights on some CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT numbers and objectives:

[quote]GOALS
1) 3.2 million NS
2) 75 members
3) 750 nukes
4) 35 MPs
5) 12 score
6) 90% of the membership over 8500 owns a WRC
7) Average atleast 12 nukes per member [/quote]

Then we took a look at where we were at the time.

[quote]AUGUST 26
1) 2,342,083 NS (-857917)
2) 57 Members (-18)
3) 563 Nukes (-187)
4) 27 MPs (-8)
5) 8.68 Score (-3.32)
6) 8 of 18 have WRC's=44% (-46%)
7) 9 Nukes/Members (-3)[/quote]

Hmm, we decided that maybe they weren’t as carefully thought out as might have thought. Shoot.

So, what now? Obviously we needed to grow. But so much? How could we accomplish this when growth across the planet was so small? We didn’t want to give up our quest for some arbitrary statistics so quickly, but we were stumped.

But then, one of our citizens noticed a small advertisement in the back of the [i]Legacy Observer and Gazeteer[/i], right between the motorcar ads and the “Situations Wanted” section:

We decided that this could just what we needed--the ad did promise that it would help things grow. We were totally unfamiliar with this “Bat Guano,” but did we have to lose? We sent a diplomatic missive (along with a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope) to the mysterious faraway land of “Galveston Texas” and waited patiently by the mailbox. Six to eight weeks later, we received our first shipment and an informative brochure. We weren’t very happy when found out what we had bought, but by then we had already paid the first of six easy payments and were stuck. So we rationed out the shipments and some spoons, and hoped.

So at the new year, we were pretty pleasantly surprised by what we found.

We met more of our goals than we could have reasonably expected.

[quote]January 2
1) 3,885,153 NS (+685,153)
2) 99 members (+24)
3) 1080 nukes (+330)
4) 52 MPs (+17)
5) 14.57 score (+2.57)
6) 24 of 30 have a WRC (80%, -10%/-3)
7) 10.9 nukes/member (-1.1 per member, -108 nukes)[/quote]

We’re not normally ones to brag in this way, but it’s a new year; time to take stock in what has passed. We accomplished a lot while still having things to work on in the future. And yeah, we're kinda proud. Lots of people made it happen, and with hard work and bat guano, we have done a lot these past few months.

Thank you to everyone, and have a great year!

Signed,
[i]All the Official Important People of Legacy[/i]
