The Atlas Confederacy will now work in partnership with The Phoenix Brotherhood. The treaty will be as follows: - The two alliances will offer each other information to encourage growth and healthy relations between the two alliances. Releasing confidential information to any unaffiliated nations or alliances will be treated as breaking the treaty. - The two alliances will grow and prosper together peacefully, any acts of aggression are not to be directed towards each other. Acts of aggression that are not promptly taken care of will be treated as breaking the treaty. - Aid will be offered if terms are agreed upon between the leaders of the two alliances, aid is not always required and can be requested or offered. signed for The Atlas Confederacy: President of The Atlas Confederacy, Pubstomper Minister of War for The Atlas Confederacy, Grandmaster Chad Minister of Justice for The Atlas Confederacy, Paul Banks Minister of Trade for The Atlas Confederacy, Grogorszag Signed for Phoenix: Kadin, the Sovereign

Welcome to Orbis!

I was in a group message with 4 of them and none of us got money or resources at the turn.

I've made 5 alliances... I think. Go read my nation description of you need help with creating an alliance.

At the last turn many of my alliance members and I did not receive any part of our daily revenue.

Just happened to us again. I guess my alliance is no longer using the bank until this is resolved.

177k at this point in the game is just a pretty big setback...

He doesn't even have the permission to withdraw, only Matthews and I do.

The records of everybody putting money in are still there. So if necessary he can just go look at the transactions...

Hey so my alliances bank has been completely emptied for no reason. The records don't show anyone taking any of it but we checked it about two hours ago and all of our money was gone. Is there a particular reason for this? Any other alliances get hit with this?

I have to agree with Cody and Malone, I think that if the players are more politics oriented then they will immerse themselves into the political aspects of the game. Going off of what Cody said, the game is already at the point where there are the serious big alliances and smaller ones that typically go inactive or merge into the bigger ones.

nah man you gotta post pictures of triangles. Ladies love triangles. You send them enough and they will eventually want you.

A few have told me this charter was long... I thought it was an average charter :l

This document should clarify all laws governing the nations in TAC (henceforth referred to as pledges), and the doctrine we as an alliance have adopted. TAC was created on the principle that it would embrace and promote freedom and prosperity for the nations of Orbis. TAC recognizes that in order to uphold these principles, for not only TAC, but also for their allies, the use of diplomacy, financial aid, trade sanctions, military force, or any other means that do not go against the standards Orbis expects of an alliance, may be required to preserve the peace and freedom it seeks.

Okay but the 10 day wait for new cities combats this. I understand 6 mil is a lot if you could just keep buying cities but it won't even get you to 2000 infra in one city at the start. They might appear really strong at first because they get to max out one city but unless they save it and don't get attacked it should be pretty easy to catch back up.

Hello Baraboo, welcome to Orbis!

A little late, he joined Infinity already.

Also you can't judge an alliances skill based on their ranking. The alliances that are younger are at a bit of a disadvantage due to coming in when guardian, VoC, etc. (colonies included) were well over 20000 points. Time definitely plays a factor in terms of ranking. I would suggest looking at how fast an alliance is growing or how old they are relative to their score.

You are always welcome to come join our ranks in the Corn Shuckers alliance. We are new to this type of game and therefore are learning the ropes in terms of forums and the politics aspect of the game, but are improving more and more everyday. If you are knowledgable in that field you would do very well here because we can provide you with tips, guides, and aid to grow and you can quickly rise into government and help with our politics area. We have however had a few members leave due to disappointment with our forums being under-developed. Message me in game if you want to try and work something out or have any questions.
