Given the events of today, I think this is a good time to talk about how we go about making allies and I have a specific instance that I'd like to discuss that is related to this.
Let's start with the specific: We have been approached by a small alliance asking to merge with us. They did have some conditions, mostly centering around porting their officers' titles over to the new merged alliance.
(There is one other issue to this merger that is irrelevant to this discussion altho it does factor into our choice on that particular alliance)
While I do want to make this alliance stronger, the condition they've put forward is a bit unsettling: I'd rather the officers earn their keep first, and then we can discuss promotions, but I'd like to hear what our members say to this idea.
The more general case: How do we decide on which new members to invite, since we are no longer a public alliance? We have a few slots open at this time.
Now, to the more general case: Allies.
It's clear that we've made enough of an impression that we need allies who are stronger than we are. We have some inroads at HOWL and I've begun to take steps to expand and develop those. The triumvirate of alliances, as I see it, is BORG, HOWL and FLR.
We can write off BORG (for now)but are there any others we should pursue in order to solidify our security?
