Description
Alliances consist of groups of clans that have come together for a common purpose, or set of goals. While the clans that comprise the Alliance may not always see eye to eye, they are able to work together well enough as a unit that they are not constantly bickering or fighting with each other.
It is beneficial for clans to form Alliances for several reasons; one, there is strength in numbers. Whereas one clan may dominate and its members may have members of another clan on the run, if the other clan were to join together with an Alliance, the Alliance working together could overpower the now out- matched clan.
Secondly, Alliance clans get to share a communication channel with each other that enables them to have access to a broader set of information than a single clan may be able to provide. This also increases the social aspect behind Alliances, and enables one to feel a stronger bond of unity with your fellow Alliance members.
Alliances may also declare war or peace intentions with other Alliances. This is mainly a role-playing and social part of the Alliance system at this time, but future expansion is planned to increase enforced game aspects depending on who you are at war or at peace with.
To create an Alliance, a clan must gather 5,000 clan gemstones and create the Alliance in the presence of a Master of Clans, located in most major cities. The clan gemstone fee is nonrefundable.
To join an existing Alliance, you must be invited by a member clan of that Alliance and have an open invitation. The Master of Clans requires a 1,000 clan gemstone fee to register new Alliance members.
Alliance Owners
The clan that creates the Alliance is the Alliance owner. If this clan ever leaves the Alliance, the Alliance will be immediately disbanded. If the Alliance ever has no member clans in it, the Alliance will be disbanded.
The Alliance Owner can grant security settings allowing or disallowing member clans control over certain aspects of the Alliance, such as inviting and kicking out clans, declaring war or peace, or using the Alliance talk channel. Alliance Owners are protected from having their security settings removed by others and essentially have the final say in the Alliance. There can only be one Owner Clan per Alliance.
Alliance Commands
The following commands may be used by anyone, regardless of membership in an Alliance. They must be preceded by the ALLIANCE command (for example, ALLIANCE LIST or ALLIANCE MOTD).
LIST [<#> or ] - lists all current Alliances and brief information about each. Listing a specific Alliance provides a list of that Alliance's members and ranking status.
INFO [<#> or ] - lists public information about that Alliance. If no name or number is specified, your current Alliance information will be displayed.
WHO - Displays to which Alliance a specific Clan belongs
