The Purpose

Why create an alliance?

To create a positive gaming environment, by associating with other like-minded individuals and groups.

What are some of the benefits?

It will help create a stronger community between like-minded individuals and groups.

Smaller kinships will be able to participate in group events that require a larger number of players, yet retain their unique identities.

When dealing and/or playing with a person who is allied (individually or through a group), you will have the "peace of mind" knowing that they will:

• ...demonstrate maturity.
• ...abide by the rules of the host.
• ...be honest & friendly.
• ...play to win, but NOT at the use of cheats and/or exploits.

Allies could be allowed to use each others' services as "guests" if resources allow it. Examples:

• Join a voice program server.
• Sign-up and participate on a forum.
• Participate in kinship sponsored events.
• Other items that are agreed upon by all parties.
