Most ppl dont come picking a fight with an alliance, its not a smart move. If you can see that some ppl are members of the alliance, you wont risk the counter attack.
I'am all for the TSA thing... It would be pretty cool seing alot of people around you with TSA in their name and knowing you have protection. And Imagine a person who is spawned in the middle of a solar system surrounded by TSA players... Destruction

Hmm guys are we going to sign up at around the same time? we should set a time for signing up so we start close to each other. I don't think we should all sign up at the same time otherwise some of us will end up having to travel a mile to get to any other players but possibly in a few groups?
which one do you like the most? which one would you prefer?
dont just say "i dont know" pick one... heh

i like beating up newbies
i just took over another star system... very very newbie stage, but theres two suckers in there that are fending off my TINY split fleet of 20 destroyers...
one i just took his planet with 15 destroyers even though he tried to defend [mwuahahha]
and the other killed my securing fleet [i thought he was AFK] of 3 destroyers, but i killed 50 percent hahhaha
so now im going to take over the first planet, and the second planet im going to send in 20 destroyers 3 battleships and a few transports <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

i dont want to make another poll, because this isnt an ASTROWARS forum, its NS.
Got 3 planets, colonizing another one now (ship will be there tomorrow morning) and attacking everyone else in my solar system in order of weakest to strongest.

I am really glad eediot and cpl.davis are taking charge of this alliance idea! but there are a lot of ideas being kicked around, and I am kinda confused.
Here is how I understand the situation:
TSA name thing ---> optional 2 forums available ---> one NS/astrowars, other only astrowars player list in the works---> but who do we contact with our info?
and finally... a forum topic with *93* f***** pages! (we definately need a dedicated forum)
I really like eediot's ideas about how to structure the forum. access to lots of information, but well organized also.
I guess we just need someone to let us know what is going on (or maybe its just me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )

I've got exams tomorrow and the day after, but on friday night onwards, i can work on astrowars.
my plans:
Organise Astrowars-only forum with everybody getting signed up, and a few basic posts. Also work out moderators.
A PHP page with which i will work on the following:
- an easily updated [by ppl with the passwords] list of NS names, Player names, coordinates, join dates. - a search feature [by NS name, In-game Name, Coordinates, or Join dates] - more admin functions for the player listings... i.e "add player, add player profile, remove player, change player status, add target, remove target, add ally, remove ally, add message"
anybody know anything about php? i dont plan on using a database for this page, probably just edit a generated txt file or something <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> i dont know, i will use some docs hehe
also, im voting 'no TSA', although i will have my name as TSA_eediot.
i just dont think it should be mandatory, or expected - people should check back to the page to see if who they are attacking is a member, a TSA-ally, an enemy, or whatever
edit: also, i have no idea about rankings within the alliance. Maybe just post count rankings hehe, no official thing. it depends how effectively/significantly the player profile thing is implemented, because we have no way of knowing their info unless the member gives it to us. no, we're not going to go through every member and update it once a day ;P
Probably just have a rankings WITHIN the alliance, i.e "this person has donated the most money to alliance members" etc etc
I would just like to add, people *should* have plenty of time to check if the player is on the list. I mean if you are deciding who to attack and too lazy to check, just because you have a big fleet then that is folly. A cunning tactician studies the opponent AT LEAST for the space of a day to find out his login times. If you don't have time to mosey onto the list to find out, if the people who are on your 'watchlist' aren't on the NS alliance, then I am not thinking I will not want to be in the alliance with these sort of <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> noobs?
You just don't ally with the weak guy.

Speaking of watching login times, I had my attack planned for a time when my target had been in bed for some 2 hours, around midnight when he went to bed every day (been watching for a week, and saw it consistently). So I launch the armada, and he just happens to check his AW account at 4AM his time ><. I took many more losses than I wanted, since it was his highest planet.
And I think the NS alliance should be loose at best, since sharing too much information is bad. Maybe we could only post our coordinates, names in AW, and just have some general discussion?

Sorry about that - I never log in until I need/want to post something. And I didn't get the "New PM" window.. or if i did, i didnt realise what it was, and closed it before i checked. I don't get many PM's <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
About your request to be a mod - Yep, we'll certainly consider you [<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> haha], we just can't really think about those things until we have a definite forum set up. Pretty much, and I don't mean to be an advocate of myself, but here's how I see it:
- Davis' board is run by him and another guy, both AW, but davis doesnt have control of the board, and needs to refer to him for help/advice/questions/decisions, etc. Also, it's phpBB ! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> However, the up-side is that it is a NS board already, which has NS players signed up.
- My board is Invision Boards [exact same set-up as this board, only different colours and images, etc], i own and run it, and i have a fair about of unused bandwidth.... a few GB's every month hehe. The only problem is space on my account, which, as soon as i start getting money [i should really stop being so lazy eh] then i can upgrade to 250 mb space haha
so the two issues are:
Davis hasnt got total control over his board [i dont know what the deal is with his friend.. does davis have admin? is the problem that he doesnt have admin and just needs full control so he can manage TSA Astrowars forum, or is there something like to elect mods he has to consult with his friend....]
Eediot [me] doesnt have that much space. [Boards dont take up too much space, and if everyone hosts their images etc off-site, then we'll be fine]
As soon as we determine which board, we can get to work and elect mods. I know Davis wants to use his friends board, and i know i dont mind - i just want whats best <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> so people, make a decision
Also, im requesting if people who know PHP or want to learn it, can contact me on thomasopdam @ hotmail . com for msn.
PS do we want an IRC channel? what is everyones best/favourite network... by the way, do not register it, we need an admin of TSAAS to register it. just tell us what your preferred network is... first up with a reasonable network, thats most likely going to be the one.
Edit: the more sensitive alliance information will be confined to the Heads and upper-members of the alliance, who will decide what to do etc and give out info on a need-to-know-basis [<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> heehee] to the lower ppl
And quatro...
"if the people who are on your 'watchlist' aren't on the NS alliance, then I am not thinking I will not want to be in the alliance with these sort of noobs?"
I dont understand what you're saying here... Was this in reference to me/my post(s), or some of the people saying they dont want to check if theyre attacking an ally every time they make a move [i.e Pro 'TSA_' people]. Because i agree.

But as has been said before, we must keep information about ourselves quiet. Large alliances are usually the most desirable targets (take it from me, I'd know, having destroyed several myself <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Yea, I can just imagine an enemy logging on to see a fleet of 200 battleships headed to each of his planets from a diffrent TSA memeber, making him wish he had picked on the other alliance <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
Edit: We should either go with TSA required or no TSA tag. having it optional makes people with it on a target, however we will still have to check before attacking since the target may be a non tagged TSA member. Also, it exposes us as a known alliance without putting fear into people because they cant see its incredible size.

If you sent me something from the enlsit page, thats not for the AW, thats for the NS organization that I co -run. (perhaps youve seen some of our 67 members in game, with the -TSA tag),
thats totaly not realated to AW> sorry for any confusion.
It looks like we are going to be using eediots forums, so if we are please eediot officaly tell me lol.
And yes, the TSA-name tag for AW is OPTIONAL no one is forced to play with it in AW.

Well, four are down, one's backed off, which leaves me with two. This should be good.

And I think the NS alliance should be loose at best, since sharing too much information is bad. Maybe we could only post our coordinates, names in AW, and just have some general discussion?
To promote backstabbing?
About your request to be a mod - Yep, we'll certainly consider you [<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> haha], we just can't really think about those things until we have a definite forum set up. Pretty much, and I don't mean to be an advocate of myself, but here's how I see it:
- Davis' board is run by him and another guy, both AW, but davis doesnt have control of the board, and needs to refer to him for help/advice/questions/decisions, etc. Also, it's phpBB ! <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> However, the up-side is that it is a NS board already, which has NS players signed up.
- My board is Invision Boards [exact same set-up as this board, only different colours and images, etc], i own and run it, and i have a fair about of unused bandwidth.... a few GB's every month hehe. The only problem is space on my account, which, as soon as i start getting money [i should really stop being so lazy eh] then i can upgrade to 250 mb space haha
so the two issues are:
Davis hasnt got total control over his board [i dont know what the deal is with his friend.. does davis have admin? is the problem that he doesnt have admin and just needs full control so he can manage TSA Astrowars forum, or is there something like to elect mods he has to consult with his friend....]
Eediot [me] doesnt have that much space. [Boards dont take up too much space, and if everyone hosts their images etc off-site, then we'll be fine]
As soon as we determine which board, we can get to work and elect mods. I know Davis wants to use his friends board, and i know i dont mind - i just want whats best <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> so people, make a decision
Also, im requesting if people who know PHP or want to learn it, can contact me on thomasopdam @ hotmail . com for msn.
PS do we want an IRC channel? what is everyones best/favourite network... by the way, do not register it, we need an admin of TSAAS to register it. just tell us what your preferred network is... first up with a reasonable network, thats most likely going to be the one.
Edit: the more sensitive alliance information will be confined to the Heads and upper-members of the alliance, who will decide what to do etc and give out info on a need-to-know-basis [<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> heehee] to the lower ppl
And quatro...
"if the people who are on your 'watchlist' aren't on the NS alliance, then I am not thinking I will not want to be in the alliance with these sort of noobs?"
I dont understand what you're saying here... Was this in reference to me/my post(s), or some of the people saying they dont want to check if theyre attacking an ally every time they make a move [i.e Pro 'TSA_' people]. Because i agree.
My vote goes to "TSA optional"
But as has been said before, we must keep information about ourselves quiet. Large alliances are usually the most desirable targets (take it from me, I'd know, having destroyed several myself <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Edit: We should either go with TSA required or no TSA tag. having it optional makes people with it on a target, however we will still have to check before attacking since the target may be a non tagged TSA member. Also, it exposes us as a known alliance without putting fear into people because they cant see its incredible size.
If you sent me something from the enlsit page, thats not for the AW, thats for the NS organization that I co -run. (perhaps youve seen some of our 67 members in game, with the -TSA tag),
thats totaly not realated to AW> sorry for any confusion.
It looks like we are going to be using eediots forums, so if we are please eediot officaly tell me lol.
And yes, the TSA-name tag for AW is OPTIONAL no one is forced to play with it in AW.
