There are a lot of Alliances with nobody in them, but what is irking me is unofficial Alliances attacking official Alliance members.
or Alliances attacking without making their intentions clear

Prussiankaiser has attacked me, or is it my Alliance he is attacking?

If we have alliances, then they should be more open about who they are, and not unofficial

On that point, reference taking of (unexplored) territory, it`s first come, not saying it is yours just because it is within so many hundred squares of you, that is defeating the point of the game

I disagree. There's no mandate to be polite, and for some people, naked aggression works. Naked aggression combined with a willingness to compromise after someone sees what I can do tends to work for me. I also let people know that they're coming too close, or that they aren't to venture forth into a certain territory.

I do think that the option to hide alliance members sorta sucks. Then again, it adds to the political intrigue.

I'd say right now that he's attacking you. If someone is shooting bullets in your direction and writing you nasty notes, you should either a) duck and run or; b) fire back. If you have an alliance, then they should be willing to go to war against attackers, or you, sir, have pussies for alliance members. When someone attacks one of us in Violent, we go to war. You should probably spend some time cultivating a better class of relationships if you don't have someone calling for war already. Do you have an alliance leader? If not, you may need one.

And referencing the taking of unexplored territory, its first come first served, as long as you're big enough to be able to take it. You have someone telling you you aren't, so either show him that you are and beat him like an indentured servant, or bow down and get out of his way.

There are no rules about taking territory here. There are guns, bullets and blood and high amounts of radiation. Those are the rules.

To add to Boogra's statement,sometimes it is out of necessity. I have a informal agreement with the Silicon Nation for now because our island is being overrun by Constant. You dont need a permanent or official alliance to cooperate. Sometimes you are faced with an issue and cant go in it alone, so therefore you find means of benefiting yourself while incidentally benefiting another.

"All is fair in the art of love and war"

You having problems with Constant? I can help with that.

the alliance of MCXA is a group of players that play cybernations and belong to an alliance of the same name in that internet-based game. i discovered globaltriumph on facebook and encouraged people to start nations themselves. from what it looks like, there are roughly eight official and unofficial members of MCXA.

as far as the leadership goes, i am the alliance's creator, but decisions are made as a loose collective. like when two members of the alliance launched missiles at cargo ships belonging to the two Prussias. certain treaties kept people from launching missiles at these boats, so other alliance members granted requests.

i'm going to go out on a ledge and assume that the two Prussias aren't happy about the mysterious disappearance of their boats. but that's what happens when you threaten people that have a bigger stick than you.

as far as help goes on our island, i think we will have under control within 2-3 days, but if you want to do anything, by all means go ahead. Just so long as its on Echo mainland. things are a clusterfuck here to begin with... i dont think we need a 5th country on such a small area. thanks anyways

I'm already coming. [/tng]
