    All accounts are resigned if you will, so you can just create a new one if you want, or 'restart' your old one.


    Personally I am against putting the TSA in front of your name. It will just make us targets. Besides a list at the website we will be able to tell who is near each other and they can PM each other, or use the website for contact.

    It seems my alliance members all fear me now.
    Maybe it has something to do with my 205 BS?
    or maybe it has something to do with the way to destroy my targets.

    I pretent to be looking for an alliance with them, quoting my fellow members are my enemy and tell them I pay them 1000 A$ a week not to attack me. Then I set up shop in there system, gain there trust and then...
    LAUNCH 100 BS at two of there planets at once and send them a nice PM, LOL at them and moking their destruction.

    Do you guys think thats an evil way to play? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    But seriously, I have had 4 of my fellow members tell me they are glad I am on there side!

    I think if we do the TSA thing we should not put TSA_ in front of our names for 4 reasons.

    1) This makes us a target, and we quickly become a well known alliance that people may attack

    2) New NS people will join, and most will not know to put TSA_ in there names because they signed up before finding us, so we will have to check the list before attacking anyway

    3) Without the names people wont know who is in the alliance, allowing us secrecy, and suprise retailiation for attacks, creating fear and distrust in the lesser AW alliances <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    4) TSA_o_O just doesnt look as good as o_O <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Either way you doit, go register at the forums or send me a list of your name and Ill make an offical database. ill post the list and keep it updated as long as people keep sending them their names, then b4 you attack someone see if they are on the list or not..


    crap sorry


    my email is dbw_intelof@yahoo.com

    dont send me an enlistment thingy for Astrowars, the enlsitment page is just for the NS organization, if you want to join that go ahead.

    If you want to participate in the Astrowars part just register in the forums and send me and email with the AW name u intend to use so I can make a list.

    davis... if we end up using your forum [i signed up btw] then give me mod and i will help manage it with you

    also, im willing to set up a page with the info as well as forums, etc...

    i.e page would contain info such as, list of players and coordinates [set up in an easy fashion to read <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> also, possible search functions, altest activities, etc etc when/if i figure out how <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->]

    also, all you new ppl, i suggest you just send out colony ships / transports to take over planets, its fun seeing new planets and then looking at the map and seeing your name plastered everywhere... muwhahaha

    edit: also, i think we're pretty much established that there will be no tag in the name. that way we also force alliance members to check back to the site and forums regularly, to keep up to date and make sure theyre not doing anything wrong <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I agree – in response to the “people attacking the alliance” part, they may also be scared of attacking for fear of repercussions from other alliance members. Anyway, I’ll be re-signing as TSA_Parhelion or Parhelion, depending on the final decision.

    Others think it should be TSA too, I dont really care.

    I guess go with the

    TSA-name thing. Ill be TSA-Davis

    To make everyone happy, I say make the tag optional.

    However I must say, there are several NS tags in the ranked players list and they seem to be doing fine. No one wants to attack a player who they think might have a strong DEDICATED alliance, If they see several TSA- in a system they might be inclined to leave us alone, they will know right off that should they attack one, they will be attacking the entire Hive. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->


    However weather you put it on or not email me with your name u will use once the game restarts and Ill send it over to eediot. Or send it to him directly.

    ----eediot, the forums arnt mine,they are my friend/co NS players/ next door guys forums. So I cant just give u mod, Ill ask him tomarrow though.

    However if you want to make the list and organized stuff on a site go ahead, jsut link over to our forums, b/c a number of people have already regsitered to use the -TSA forums.

    Does that sound ok? Im not trying to take over here, or anything, just trying to get us somewhat organized.

    maybe if enough people could join we could do an email update that I or someone else could send out.

    Everyweek we report back to whoever, our stats, and fleet movements etc.

    I am against using the TSA-insert name here

    Simply because the best alliances are the ones are unknown. If people don't know who the enemy is, then how can they plan to effectively kill them. Once word gets out that the TSA is a huge alliance, we will find more opposition, and players will become easy targets in that. They will know exactly who to attack and what help they might receive.

    Yes it is good to know everyone by just the tag. but so will our enemy.

    I think we should see where people pan out and divide people out into sectors.

    With TSA: We're all happy. People know we're allied. People are scared of us.

    Without TSA: We have to spend 20 minutes checking the list to see if the guy we're attacking is NS or not... confusion chaos, and it's just not as cool.

    We need to sign up ASAP, and we'll all start in the center of the galaxy.

    davis - oh, i assumed it was your forum. the forums i gave are mine, i have direct control over them... if one of the TSA leaders dont control it directly, tis gonna get kind of iffy... see if he can give you full admin or something so its easier

    and people, submit the names through whichever forum we used, in a designated post. then i, and others, will update the list and delete all the posts every time we update, to keep it clean.

    anybody here know php? or a simple rudimentary knowledge of it? Hell, ill settle with someone who wants to sit down with me and learn and figure it out <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    a few features for the site that im thinking of...:

    updated player list and coordinates of TSA members, managed in an easy way, with a simple search function. it will also be cleaned, i.e if someone is supposed inactive, it will be mentioned and they will be questioned <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    if we get enough activity, input, and need/want for it, we will have other member info such as no. of planets, etc etc

    there will also be updated battle plans and messages etc, i.e 'majin is launching an offensvie against blah blah. the info is below this. he is requesting x amount of A$ by 3:33 pm 3rd of March, 3333. below is how much he has recieved so far, and what he will use it for' etc etc, as well as 'Linus has attacked a member, it is a personal attack, go to Forum Thread Link to see the battle plan, and how you can contribute'

    blah blah you get the idea <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    and on the forums people will have updated fleet movements, battle plans, etc etc.

    Quite an ambitious idea, but the higher we aim to shoot, the higher the shot will go... you cant hit the clouds if youre aiming at your feet <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    any suggestions/comments/volunteers? <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    edit: about the TSA_ thing... yes, but we can get targeted, and there are malicious people who WILL do such a thing. no name is a good name <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> and what about the people who come late, or forget to change name to TSA because they forgot or didnt know? just keep it as a page/forum organised thing. also, hopefully it will be as streamlined and mechanised as possible, so you can just chuck in someones coordinates you want to attack, or their name, and find out if theyre on the list or have any info [i.e 'this person was nice to eediot, so dont attack him unless given a personal or specific reason' or 'this person maliciously attacked Renegade'] etc etc

    what I want to know is how he went up 14 points in one update... how can that be possible at his level? did he just go up like 5 player levels, or research 14 techs, or gain a new planet and pump it up 14 population in 1 day, or... I give up. how can someone of his rank possibly go up 14 points in 1 day =P

    anyway, looks like this game's gonna be over sooner than we thought.

    "Bob."
    "Yup."
    "Whatcha just do?"
    But later they propably just want to kick our arse only to say "Was that a clan we just crushed?"
    And AW forums too seem to encourage keeping big alliances so secret that even their name wont people know <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    no one else is amazed KMcGonna somehow went up 14 points in one day? :> I have no clue how that could happen. points are much harder to get the higher you are, and 14 in one day is hard for even someone with like 250...

    as for TSA, I'm all for the alliance and all for not putting it in our names :> I mean, how hard is it to look up the names of your neighbors on the TSA forums anyway? besides, we probably all have each others' names memorized already... hehe
