It strikes to me as very strange, if you're this charismatic, courageous, and determined leader with a vision on how to win a round, how exactly have you not managed to either get a foothold at some major alliance's command staff, or collect those 50-60 decent members?
It's all a lot more than just pipe dreaming about great members, you actually have to work in order to get the members. It's part of the process of becoming "big" or "major player". The way Chef mentioned, is one of the hows of building up.
I'm to be honest proud to say I've got a few solid people such as add and MortalP around in my ranks. Neither was exactly "top name" when they came to Omen, and neither is probably a "top name" today, but both are more or less trained by/in Omen, and are brilliant assets I greatly respect. The few of the remaining dedicated and devoted players.
The thing is, while these two people can be called successes in the process Chef described, it's hard to find these in sufficient numbers to build a succeeding alliance on them, even if I'd probably have a different base if I had 10 adds and 10 MortalPs around.
