Orb R21

Ok, the original post was a tad slap-dash, so here's the proper plan.

ORB

History
It all started in round 10 when myself and my friend got back into PA after a playing a few early rounds and decided we'd have a bash at crafting ourselves an alliance of our own. Initially, all went well, we recruited 4 or 5 good players and then went on to have a successful round 10.5.

However, it was then we were offered the opportunity to merge with another new alliance, Sticky, and it was then that ORB folded, my fellow HC and I went our separate ways (him to NoS, me to Sticky). ORB lay dormant until rounds 16/17 where we revived the alliance under another name, again, having similar success to out first outing.

PA though, has come a long way since we started and has fallen into something of a decline of recent and I can sympathise with anyone who is in our position of builidng a new alliance. We are determined however, to make a success of the next x amount of rounds, starting small and working up to build a solid alliance.

Aims/Targets

ORB aims to become a solid alliance; we're not looking to become a big player or to gather up 50 odd members, we're looking to build a tightly-knit alliance around a group of commited players, even if that's just 4 or 5 people. Our core objectives are:

- Rank as the highest averagely scored alliance. This will be our main objective. We see this as a much more difficult challenge than finished as the #1 ranked alliance and overall, more rewarding.

- Create a friendly community of players who are above all, thoroughly commited to PA and it's necessities, those being IRC, regular activity and the will to do some serious Viking-style pillaging!

- We do not however, want to seem in any way dogmatic; ORB will be a completely open and democratic community where the opinions and thoughts of every member are valued.

Like I've said before, going for highest avg. score is a tough ask. It is therefore important that recruits can meet our recruitment criteria.

Entry Criteria

- You MUST have a paid PA account
- You must show your face regularly on IRC, daily activity is both preferable and beneficial
- Regular ingame activity
- Participation in alliance attacks and offer defence if it is necessary/plausible

Think you've got what it takes? Our public IRC channel is #orb - PM one of the ops in there, myself Clunge or MrMeikel my fellow HC and we'll have a chinwag about alliancey stuff. Meet those four criteria and SHAZAM! - You're in . And you never know, say the right things and show willing and we might even wave you through, ahem.
[b]
REMEMBER: ORB is still only two people and therefore we cannot guarentee that you'll get a speedy reply in our IRC channel, I will always be there so you can leave me a PM and I will try and respond as quickly as possible (this could be a few hours depending on my college time table/social life ) - don't disappear! We want you in!

Cheers all and have a good round!

Re: Orb R21

You could really do with telling us a bit more about yourselves: what your plans/aims are, whether or not you have an IRC channel (I'd say one is near-essential), etc.


This thread would be a very useful read.

Re: Orb R21

Yee, I/we have read all that a hundred times and have been through the alliance creation process 3/4 times. It was back in rounds 10.5/11 that ORB was really up and going, since then my fellow HC and myself have been in a bucket load of alliances and both been away from PA for a number of rounds but felt the calling once again.

Suffice to say at the moment, this is all very speculative and under consideration; we offer and aim for mystery at the present time.

Anyhoo, regardless, we'll be playing for a good few rounds to come .

Re: Orb R21

Orb has been an active alliance name since r10.5 and has participated in 4/5 rounds of play and you've only just noticed?

Re: Orb R21

Perhaps Crowly, like many others, doesn't pay attention to all the little alliances that pop up every once in a while for a round or two then dissappear for a long time.
