Re: info needed

Basically you could try and read through most of the recruitment threads of the alliances that posted here and see if any of them suits you and visit their IRC channel if they have one (i would recommend alliances with IRC channel only) and talk to one of their officer to get more specific info.

Sadly not all alliances post up on recruitment boards and again a lot are 'invite-only' - so if you know nobody yet it will be about to be impossible to get into these. You shouldnt forget that the alliances try to sell them here
So obviously written words mean not that they convert their words into actions during the round!

Maybe you should wait until after the galaxy shuffle when you know who you play with - you will end up with hopefully more experienced players who have an alliance or can you tell more inside information about other alliances

For your start up in PA i would suggest you quality medium sized alliances such as Tides of Fire (#ToF) or Vengeance (#VgN) . i consider both as *newbie friendly* alliances but they are still demanding activity and quality from their members, too.

Another place you might want to check out that a lot of beginners try is F-Crew (#F-crew) which are now for the large amounts of new players and for the energy and work they put into it to get them started ´
All 3 of them have lasted for several rounds and are proven to be a solid base for your planet.

(i dont want to advertise for certain alliances but this is just what came to my mind )

Dont panic, there will be spaces free in alliances even after tickstart

good luck

Re: info needed

I disagree about the "newbie" thing jupp said, specially about VGN, ive been there in past and i can assure you they have nothing "newbie" and have one of the best command chain and techie structure i have seen on PA lately, better than some top 5 allies you would see on last 3 rounds. I think the only thing who keep them from always end on top 3 is they give chance to new and bellow average PA players, if they had the members of some alliances i have seen around they surely would do a far better work with then than their HCs ( btw tho i am talking about what you said im not talking about reunion jupp ). I think being on vgn is great experience seacilly if you want to get motivated to play in one alliance here.

About F-Crew, they seems to be goin to a new level of gaming, aiming a highr spot among offensive/competitive gaming, and i think due to their performance on last round they could be a nice start to be with, specially if you want to try your offensive skills on this competitive enviroment

I think jupp's comment is reasonable, with that addition to the post here, as an Alliance HC i'd probably be willing to chat to the guy and try to get an understanding of how much he's going to play. There's plenty of alliances that would take a new player if they were fairly certain that they'd be proactive.

yes that is exactly what i wanted to say - maybe it came out wrong : /

imo i never said that they are a newbie alliance. i tried to say that they take in new players without invite/vouches stuff.

and yes - f-crew seems to develop in a very interesting way at the moment. looking forward for r15

Re: info needed

i agree with the other posts here, F-Crew and VGN would both be good places to try as they can offer both the tools and attitudes to help new players and a good level of competitive play. Orbit might be another ally to try aswell, current chan is #orbiters.

Gl for the round m8 and welcome to PA

Re: info needed

I followed what jupp said \o/

If you're going to be active and genuinely want to learn the game, then somewhere like VGN, Tides of Fire or Insomnia would be a good choice. They've proven themselves to have quality, organisation and stamina throughout several rounds and are more likely to take in new players without contacts than the top tier alliances eXilition, Angels or 1up... as long as you contribute enough, you should then keep your place as well.

This means you get a good experience of the game in a decent alliance, and should have a great time!

Re: info needed

i say f-crew or vgn, as the other guys said. They are expeirienced in training up noobs. They appear to do a good job.
