I had an idea based on idea by another Morkin and it is now progressing.
The plan is that we (Morkin) would pact with HAWK in return for them doing the following:
1. Actively recruiting new players.
2. Following our colonisation etiquette.
3. Not bullying smaller players/alliances and being jerks etc.
They would get FULL Morkin protection in return for this.
We wouldn't expect [HAWK] to fight with us in any wars as they are mainly going to be new players, but they may want to help with stoners and resources etc if not actually getting involved.
Why do this?
1. It gives us the chance to get into some action if [HAWK] does get attacked.
2. It gives us something else to do, we could help teach the new [HAWK] players how to play the game etc.
3. It could possibly lead to a very large alliance that might rival DIGG (very unlikely I know) but at the very least it would be a potentially large alliance that isn't going to attack us.
4. It helps to expand our influence.
Currently only Morkin and Corleth are pacted with [HAWK], I'd like this to extend to KoM and Luxor as well, but only if the membership is in agreement, so please comment.
If KoM rejects any more applications and you think they might fit into [HAWK] then please let them know.
We chose HAWK as the alliance to do this as we know LovelyButterly quiet well from the .co.uk server and they have a few new players anyway.
