Which alliance?
So we all have our loyalties, some more than others.
But I was thinking if there was no ties at all and I could join any alliance what would it be. I shall exclude 1up from this for obvious reasons although those posting can obviously include 1up.
I am also going to exclude old alliances as quite simply they dont exist.
The three alliances I would love to play in are....
Ascendancy.
SiN.
and.......
eXilition.
Yourselves?

Re: Which alliance?
If I am to exclude alliances that I have played in, and the alliance that I am currently in, I would go where I have friends, and where I think I would have fun. Fairness would also be important. Alliances that suit these criteria very well would be eXilition, Ascendancy and NewDawn, I think.
Edit: Tired, typoed include instead of exclude.
Actually, rather play under Wishywash and jupp in Omen than NewDawn I think. They have more people that I know.

Re: Which alliance?
There are no other alliances that I would want to join or indeed welcome my presence.

Re: Which alliance?
Patsa, Penis-Allianz!, and maybe just maybe Legion. Especially since they thought I was in their alliance without me being in it.

Why the hell do people approach jerome? He seems to be considered a complete joke by everyone inside ascendancy and our ****ing HC by people outside?!?!?

Re: Which alliance?
Ascendancy... Mainly so I can see just how inactive you lot claim to be! {Although, this would take effort and thus maybe not be an option. Hm.}
Exilition... playing with greenhills for one more round ftw!
F-crew... Prodding wakey is fun

Re: Which alliance?
it's okay, ascendancy wouldn't let any of you guys in, we saw what happened when we let jbg in and we still can't get rid of him
edit: rshih had a 5 minute window which he wasted, shame as he would've taken over dav's role well.

Re: Which alliance?
Of the current alliances?
eXilition - for the few nice chaps and the history they've piled up.
Ascendancy - for a loose, chill round.
Hard to say a third one, if 1up played, it'd be definately 1up. Perhaps some bottom of the top10 regular, Vengeance has occasionally sounded solid.

Re: Which alliance?
The three alliances I would have liked to be in:
LDK
Wolfpack (r4 only)
eXilition (but not r13 - I had too much fun being on the opposing side that round)

Re: Which alliance?
This appears to be a subtle recruitment thread for ascendancy, started by pig no less
I've tended to try play for the alliances I'd like to play for, but certainly i've came away with the feeling after a couple of rounds that i'd like to play in SiN. I think it's more enjoyable to play together in groups of 30-40.

a subtle attempt to sell that exi only has 40 members... (funny that pig was involved in that thread to) thought I'd yank your chain a bit

Re: Which alliance?
if i had more time to play pa then it would be exilition or angels and the 3rd alliance would be ascendancy , purely to see if jbg and jer are as much fun when they dont take it seriously as when we shared a gal in the world cup

Sometimes, secretly, I plot defences of jer's planet which end up in his entire fleet being stolen

Re: Which alliance?
eXilition, because I've never played in a truly hardcore alliance.
Ascendancy, because I know way too many people in it NOT to list them here.
And finally, Heroic. I'd like to see what it would take to turn a top 20 alliance into a top 10 alliance. I'd aim to do it within 2-3 rounds. It's probably doable, but very difficult. As for why Heroic - because I believe they've already got decent leadership and just need that extra kick up the backside to get promotion to the next level (top 15 alliance).

Probably eXilition. Don't think theirs any other alliance of interest currently in the game that I am not in or have been in.

Re: Which alliance?
I actually considered leaving F-Crew a couple of rounds ago and when I was considering where to go I really couldnt think of anywhere else I would want to go.
A 'hardcore' alliance was out of the question, it would have felt like I was being hypocritical joining one of these and I just dont think id fit in anyway.
And a smaller/less hardcore alliance wasnt appealing either. These alliances normally lack experiance in their command and I just knew that was I to join one of these I would end up getting talked into taking a role that was more than just a member and I just didnt want that. While training a new player and seeing them come good is alwasy rewarding the crap that surrounds being a commander in such an alliance isnt fun or rewarding. Seeing as we had established F-Crew as a regular top10 alliance and this had reduced alot of the crap that had to be dealt with I wasnt about to leave an alliance that gave me time to work with players and some free time outside of the game for one that took over my life with admin style tasks.
In the end I made up my mind if I was to quit F-Crew it would be to play solo and instead spend my time doing a 'mentot' style role to help both the smaller alliance improve and to help improve new players and even now I think this would probally be what I would do if/when i quit F-Crew

Re: Which alliance?
Šragons would be the natural first choise for me if they ever played here again, but since seeing how the game turned out like over the rounds and especially after introducing of PaX I don't c that happenin, since we prefer the old style engine over the new 1.
2nd and the only obvious alliance would be eXilition where I been hanging about since they signed up r13.
Other than those 2 I personally rly couldn't care less, and I suppose that applies to current PA in general as well.

Re: Which alliance?
Id try out exil, see if its like what ive heard
Out of old alliances id like to see how Fury\Legion was in the earlier days.
Maybe even LDk, for comedy purposes
