So... I figured I'd make one of these to see what's out there. I've received quite a few offers, and there are some I really like, but this is just to try to figure out as much as possible, because I honestly don't know where I want to go.

I don't care about what side of the treaty web you're on, I'd like to think that people love me everywhere. I don't care about membership size either, I tend to like bigger alliances, but activity is what is important...

What I do want, is the following:
[list]

[*]Must have an experienced leadership base. I like the role of wing-man, to be honest. I will contribute to whatever alliance I go to.
[*]I would like the opportunity to move in to at least mid-level government. I am willing to work my ass off to get such an honor and to prove I'm worth it. I've served in every ministry, I tend to favor finance and foreign affairs, but I'm not adverse to helping in IA or D.
[*]I really want to be able to take pride in my alliance again. I want to feel like I'm part of something bigger, and that's the most important to me.
[/list]

So go ahead, pitch your offers, and I'll try to respond in a timely manner.

Btw, it's probably easiest to catch me on IRC. I'm in a slew of channels, including my channel, #MeatingRum . Hope to see you soon.

Hey Wu. You know we in NSO already like you a lot. So let me post a little blurb about the challenge system which may interest you, and some other info.

[quote]The Sith Emperor has the final word on all alliance decisions. The Dark Lord is the Emperor's right hand, guiding the alliance and heading up the Darth Council. The Sith Lords are members of the Darth Council and assist the Emperor and Dark Lord with important matters of state and war. Imperator Emeriti are retired Sith Emperors, while Prophets of the Dark Side are important retired members - both serve as advisers to the current government. Masters lead one of the four Councils, ensuring all that critical alliance work is done efficiently. Marauders are deputies to the Masters, assisting them with implementing effective Council policies.

Every position is achieved through a system of challenges. To become a Marauder, one must publicly challenge whoever you would like to replace. A 48 hour debate is held between the current Marauder and the challenger, where the Brotherhood (Sith membership) endorses candidates and asks pertinent questions. After the debate, a vote is held and alliance members publicly vote for their preferred candidate. In order to go farther up the government ladder, one must consistently challenge their superiors to replace them. To become Master, a Marauder must challenge them. To become Sith Lord, a Master must challenge. To become Dark Lord, a Sith Lord must challenge. And finally, to become Emperor, the Dark Lord must challenge.[/quote]

(there are also cool-downs and time requirements for each challenge. 14 days in the alliance to challenge for Marauder, 14 days as Marauder for Master, 30 days as Master to challenge for Sith Lord, etc.).

Now to be honest, FA (or the Council of Lies) is currently pretty stocked up (as this is the Council I helped build up ), but there's definitely some room for upward mobility in Finance (or Council of Proliferation) where I have a lot of plans for post-war, and perhaps IA (or Propaganda and Indoctrination). In the meantime towards the 14-day requirement for an initial challenge, there's also low-level jobs like a Batallion Commander / Lieutenant, a Finance Officer, a PI Officer, or a Diplomat/Envoy, that you can have (1, or 2, or 4 if you want).

Otherwise, we're quite an active alliance for our size with a pretty tight-knit community and have good senses of humor (we're the 'Fun' Order ). Without a doubt, we'd be more than grateful if you decided to join our alliance. Oh and, experienced gov? I'm Sith Lord now .

Are you looking for an established alliance or are you willing to take a chance on a relatively new smaller one? Our alliance is pretty much made up of people that left =LOST= due to different reasons. We'd love for someone of your experience, especially in the finance arena, to be able to assist us in getting a realistic nation building and aid for noobs program rolling. Also I don't know what your expectations are as far as activity levels on either IRC or on AA forums, we don't expect or demand set amounts of time or posts. If you want to check us out it's gruealliance.com. If not, good luck and I hope you find an alliance that suits you.

I have no offer to put to you, but can I just say, to all the people who make lame posts in this forum, looking for an alliance, [b]this is how you post an ad for yourself[/b].

Take note.

Best of luck Wu.

That's a more difficult question than you are letting on...

The main thing I want in an alliance is for their members to really take pride in their alliance. You look at alliances like MK and NpO, and all other judgment aside, the members really embrace the alliance as a whole. Now, I say that to get to this:
normally that only happens in older alliances because there is a history and an established ideology to embrace. Newer alliances usually have members with visions of utopia, and they quickly become discouraged. Now, obviously there are exceptions to the rule, and I'll approach it on a case-by-case basis. So I would be willing to take a chance on a new alliance. Preferably not too small of one though.

Also, I'll have to do some information seeking on GRUE, unfortunately I do not know much about you guys...

[Spartacus1082]

There's not going to be alot of info out there on us. We're only a little over 100 days old. We DoE'd on Halloween. We've got MK as our protectorate and have a treaty with =LOST=. We were talking to RIA about one as well but then all this war stuff broke out. All ego aside we were part of the group that was involved in taking THL out of the war and had some other good skirmishes alongside =LOST= right after that.

Unfortunately we're a little quiet right now as most of us a dealing with RL issues at the moment and haven't had a lot of time to put into growing us up. A side note about most of our founders, we all come from another message board that is pretty much made up of Buffalo Bills fans so we've known each other for years. We're generally a pretty tight knit group and are always looking for others to join us there as well.

If you have any other question feel free to ask here or message me in game. My nation name is Nah Hak.

Feel free to join DOG. I know, we are a new allaince, but there are a lot of Government jobs still open, escpecilly for experienced players. As myself and my co-leader, we have lots of experience running a different alliance, but we decided it was time to create a new allaince, DOG. I'd say four members is pretty close knit ! Everybody knows everybody, and we want to keep it that way. The goal of DOG is to protect our members and to survive! If you want, I could give you are forums.

Here is my pitch.

Check out [url=http://s1.zetaboards.com/CN_Terran_Empire/index/]Terran Empire[/url]. We are a small, but growing alliance. We could use experienced players to help us even more. There are gov positions available right away in IA and Finance. Our members in gov now are very experienced with most of us having nations nearing the three year mark. We are a multi color alliance, so you would not have to change your color. Terran Empire is protected by Legacy.

Terran Empire will be celebrating one year anniversary in March. We started strong, then hit some big bumps in the road. We are heading back in the right direction again and feel that with the help of expreienced players such as yourself, the future of Terran Empire is looking good.

Feel free to click the link to our forum and check us out. Read out charter and see if we are what you are looking for. We do have a strict no raid policy, but other than that our members are free to grow and develop their nations as they see fit. We offer guidance if they so choose.

That about waps it up.
