sorry to say, the new era has ended. Well that is unless you guys actually dont want it to...
Anyway, I have returned to maelstrom and you guys will now be counted among my targets once again. I will target basically everything I told you that gets attention. So fair warning to those who still want to build fleets, overbuild planets, overbuild weap stashes, and most definitely, those who refuse to build a decent covert to protect themselves.
To move this alliance forward you really need a strong leader making hard descisions and actively recruiting, the whole alliance active on the forums and ingame, alliance programs (that everyone participates in), and most of all, FRIENDSHIPS. Believe it or not, THAT is where the true power of an alliance lies. Personally, I could ask any member of maelstrom to trash their account as a favour and they would do it, not because I ordered it, but because I asked and they want to help me. And they know I'll do the same for them. This means no adversary is ever too big or too hard to take down. Not only that, but everyone knows not to touch us due to severe reaction that can ensue. We all have each other on MSN talking to each other daily and always posting on our own forums (how many of you guys knew chara was doing his masters before he left? or that he works constant night shift?). So think on that. Are you here hiding behind a tag, or is your blood the glue behind the tag. only you can put the effort in if you want the rewards.
Edit: eviscerate get rid of that bot as well ( JTTYMJKL ) on the forums
