Alliances?

[lex]

(not proposing anything, just researching)
Say i have some small SC corp from some site (around 50 ppl).
They are researching ability to join some big corp without actually joining org themselves. Forming an alliance, actually. Hiding under TEST wing, somewhere in their space but on the edge of it, on some distant outpost. They are also not so great when it comes to english. Local community. There is, however, couple of guys who vowed to hold all communication between this local group and TEST. Can i call them ambassadors?
What TEST, and especially core members, are thinking about this? I can recall @NKato had some great ideas about politics in SC.

Do they have beer? Brew beer?

Yes, we will no doubt be building alliances in-game once everybody starts establishing themselves.

To date we have not formed any alliances because 1) we are lazy and 2) how the hell do we know who we want to shoot at or not if we have not been in the game yet?

FTFY.

Don't buy the beer before you have tried the beer.

Glowing Leader has spoken. Really, if someone wants to be your friend, there's no reason to say no unless there are extenuating circumstances. We are a fairly open and friendly bunch, so having other orgs/corps as friends just seems natural. Especially if they have beer.

fuckload of it, actually. Most of them are drunkards.

And here we go, straight to touchy subject.
What can be considered "extenuating circumstances"? Extensive piracy? KOSing everyone? Jettisoning beer?

What @CrudeSasquatch said. Jettisoning BEER?!? ARE YOU INSANE!?!
Seriously though, piracy, meh, no big deal. We have a piracy div. KOS, that's douchy. BUT, if they aren't directly affiliated with TEST, we have plausible deniability. Ha

"Jettisoning booze is a federal crime punishable by death"
Should probably put there somewhere in rules...

Yeah, they're always after me lucky charms.

I personally would love to support the smaller orgs out there. Give them a chance to experience gameplay elements that they otherwise would be very hard to access.

I recall in World of Warcraft... we were an org of 20 at our biggest, although the core group was 8 guys from the same city. When we were 8, we had a lot of fun, did what we wanted, and enjoyed life... but we couldn't organize big RAIDS... so we merged with others to do the big ol' RAIDS... and it was HORRIBLE.

Please tell me how to increase the level of terribleness. Just out of curiosity XD

Try it sober. It makes everything terrible.

well, first, no matter how hard everyone works, the admins and Montoya get all the purple gear first. No matter what. Even if they already have that item. So I guess in SC, that means no matter how many ships we capture, they are all Montoya's ships and he will decide who needs them most... actually... just act like ADI... that's about it. We joined an ADI.

Edit Add-
Every time we do things, keep a score card of who does the most DPS and HEAL... then give good gear to only people who are already OP. Because they contributed more and therefore it was pure skill, not because they always get the OP stuff.
Everyone else gets points for being there. After several thousand raids, they can gamble their points on winning an item nobody else wants, but they lose the points if they lose the /roll. That way, they're stuck working as indentured slaves forever.

Allied organizations only get 1/2 of the points because they haven't sworn fealty to Montoya.

Absolutely fantastic idea. Noted.

Already in talks with ADI to merge our orgs and staff.

Indentured slaves sound bad so we are going to get you all addicted to beer and use your dependency as slave labor. That way we end up the organization that provides everyone with free beer!

That's too generous, allied organizations will get 0 since we are providing them with a level of gameplay they wouldn't be able to experience otherwise.

Destroying their org from within and taking their members is not a merger.
