Why should we have to choose? We watched 'good' advertisements, she should do both at the same time for our viewing pleasure.

Everyone knows the only official sister org to TEST is QUIZ (or Quite Unfit Idiots Zooming)
My english teacher would be proud!
GREAT(but clearly moody) LEADER,
Why not make alliances now? We can always disagree later.
Do we need a diplomatic service in Test? Should we rethink these policies?
Feel free to leave it until after the school holidays/next US elections/pay day/ a good nights sleep, to reply.

@Rear_Intruder What actual reason would there be to do anything along those lines now? What’s the point in-game?
The only reason to do this now is to give other ORGs the opportunity to yell 'curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal' at us.
A wonderful question Mr Intruder!
Idle hands are the devils workshop.
A great example of this is a coalition of orgs who got together to make an alliance called Babylon 6. With no actual game to keep people busy and engaged, attention focuses on the metagame. The alliance spiraled down into a shit hole of bureaucratic arguing, backstabbing and overall saltiness.
Choosing between enjoying my evenings as they are right now, or being in boring 5hr long discord meetings with a bunch of internet bureaucrats and diplomats, I choose former!

A few years back when TEST was small, about 200 members, we were part of a reddit alliance called... fuck me its slipping my mind.
Red Faction!
The idea was that reddit born orgs can all be friends and do shit together.
All the guys involved were very nice, but holy shit... the hours and hours of meetings talking about who runs what, and how resources will be shared, and how mining will be organized, and how the military will be controlled, and who gets to take a shit in what toilet...
Running an alliance or coalition is A LOT OF WORK!
I have a lot of respect for the Eve guys who commit themselves to keeping coalitions running smoothly. Their work goes unrecognized because you do not see the amount of effort it takes behind the scenes to keep all parties satisfied.

Montoya, if we don’t have a schedule for when we’re allowed to shit then the org will dissolve into chaos!
We're allowed to shit? Dang... all this time! Never mind, pretend I didn't say that.
I was in the same predicament until I found relief could be attained by constant shitposting.

I will have a think about it including the input given.
It is very, very early but will we need diplomacy is my thought!
No argument there. We are not ignoring the diplomatic angle, just putting on hold.
We will have a very big diplomatic division.
You mean people who hire stripers/prostitutes drive while drunk, break the laws of the country they find themselves in and general up to mayhem and general debauchery while all perfectly legal and covered by diplomatic immunity.
Can I volunteer for this?
Omg I had almost forgotten about this. it was an utter shit show.
