Popular Post Licorice Posted November 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2016 --------------------------------------------------o0o--------------------------------------------------- "The world of Orbis is a dangerous place, particularly for new players. In the countless years that humans, hippos and sneks has roamed the planet, many new nations have grown and fallen to inactivity and deletion. Our faith in them was not completely misplaced though. When filled with dedication and armed with the suitable knowledge, they can succeed. But ignore them, leave them in the dark, and any semblance of potential they once had will wash away. Of course, they won't realize it at first. Like you, they'll cling to their fleeting hope, their aspirations. And when they fail and turn to inactivity, know that you send them to the same pitiful demise. This is the beginning of the end, Alex. And I can't wait to see you burn." - ??? ----------------------------------------------------o0o--------------------------------------------------- PnW has have many, many new players over the year but none of them ever seemed to be staying; most of them either stay a couple of days at most or a month at best. The main reason is plain and simple, disinterest in the game either by little to no activity, get rolled daily or not able to interact since they have no idea what the old guys are talking about. However, as I went from alliance to alliance (and talk to some people), I find that very few alliance actually bother to get these micros to get into the game. Sure, grants and guides here and there and some talks which result in a protectorate but that's it. No questions asked from the amateurs and no interactions came from the big guys that are too busy playing with each other and before we knew it someone will argue that there is no "correct" way to build a city and attack Arrgh with only soldiers. Recent trend of alliances picking experienced nations only without giving young guys a chance didn't help. And so the survival-of-the-fittest cycle repeat again and again; the small number players that receive experiences through hardships and grows from them like yours truly stayed around, interact and grow while the rest are doomed to disappear as insignificant little guys that we never know about. Then I think about Kazy's podcast and Pre's post about how most skilled players is on Syndisphere and no one bothered to help Paracov git gud, all the while no competition ever came from the numerous micro alliances that could have been so much more. So I thought that why don't I give it a try. Make a library, a school where micros can join in and learn about the knowledge necessary to grow and survive out there while receiving funds to grow their nation to a respectable size before they can explore the great outdoors without fear of being forever incompetent, irrelevant and raided to death before quitting. And thus Beacon Academy is born; not a proper alliance like you folks but instead, like it said in the name, a school for amateurs to come in, learn from the pros without having to caught up in some salty politic shit and can leave whenever they graduate; which in my case being learn the courses, do the quiz and grow to be at least 500 in nation score. I doubt I'll be successful at the start, since I'm not much of an expert or teacher in the first place but like Kazy said, if you want to change the situation go out and do it. So we'll see how this goes : P -----------------------------------------------o0o-------------------------------------------- tl;dr I made a school alliance for micros and incompetents. Feel free to help if you're bored or something *goes back to writing guides and tweaking forum* 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hidude45454 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 You should teach amateurs how to deal with raids by giving them some first hand experience Other than that though, good luck with the alliance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
