Alliance Rules

I will start by saying I want to minimize rules.  This is a game, and we want to keep it fun.  Too many rules, can ruin fun.  However, no rules and there will be chaos, and that can ruin fun also.  Call this list "guidance" on how to play. 

1. "Don't be an asshole": I think if you follow one rule this is it.  Be kind to others, be supportive, have fun.  Accept that people make mistakes.  I will not accept members being rude to one another, racist, or otherwise.  Keep religion and politics out of it also.  Games are about escaping reality, lets keep it fun. If there is a disagreement or concern, bring it to red rocket as a private chat.  Solve disputes in private.  No one wants to see arguments. 

2. Respect our Allies: They are listed in our Alliance megaphone, and the motto of our alliance.  Do not attack allies.  Also be awere that there is an unofficial NAP (Non aggression pact)  between the top 7 alliances in state, and we are part of that.  Kill events are a different story however... so all bets are off, but it is a good idea to not attack large alliances anyway.  And be careful of who the allies are of your target... they could be one of our allies. 

3. Don't: "Zero" players.  This means repeatedly hitting a hq with rallies/attacks to the point that they have no troops or resources left.  3 good hits is usually enough.  Also be aware that a very high level player can "zero" a low level player in one hit, so it is all relative.  But just don't hit a player many times.  This is part of the "Don't be an asshole" rule.  We don't want to get a bad rep as an alliance.  I started this game hating alliances that zeroes me or my alliance members.  Don't be that alliance. 

4. Respect "Farms": farms may look like easy targets, but most farms have high level owners in large alliances that will often zero/attack you if your touch their farm.  Actions have consequences.  One top 10 player in state will zero any player that touches his farm. 

5. Communicate:  Be friendly, get to know each other, ask strategy questions, talk about the weather around the world.  We all share a common interest, so make friends.  I like to say I came for the game, but stayed for the people.  I have lost count of the number of attackers who have stopped attacking, simply because I spoke to them and was friendly.  Some even later joined us.  Diplomacy works wonders.  Getting to know your enemy may make a new friend. 

6. Respect your alliance superiors:  This is a free will game, but like life, it is also a game of consequences.  You may be able to do ass you wish... but there will likely be consequences.

7. Check your messages: check private messages for alliance communications.  Check the alliance megaphone message for allies/upcoming events.  A sure way to find your way out of an alliance is to ignore messages and live in your own world.  This is a team effort.
