Topic: Long live the Republic! Posted: 17 Apr 2012 at 00:40 |
A friendly hello to the Illy-Community The Old Republic [TOR] is looking for members of all races, sizes, experience levels and play-styles! Membership requirements:
Brief introduction: The Old Republic is the only truly democratic alliance of
Illyriad (with a constitution, a parliament, an executive and judicative body).
We have a participative and representative governmental structure. Our leaders
are elected and accountable to the Senate. In many alliances the important
decisions (for example about peace and war) are made by large players only and
small players are not even properly informed. In other words, a few players
exercise all power and restrict the independence of the rest. Therefore we are
committed to democracy, mutual defence, transparency and to respect the
sovereignty of each member For more information check out or alliance profile and forum! Settlement policy:
We are open to players on the entire map. But we do have a central hub area in Azura (south-west of the map). We do respect the ten square zone of players inside or next to our hub. We are interested in good relations with our neighbours. We particularly ask others to respect our ten square zone inside our hub area. We can offer excellent settlement locations for our members. Our hub area is roughly depicted below and above. Some additional stuff:
In case you are interested in joining such an alliance or have any questions, feel free to contact our leadership or any other player. Edit: Spelling correction, updates Replaced "non-authoritarian" with "democratic" Latest Edit: Added settlement policy. Minor changes. Edited by Janosch - 27 Aug 2013 at 13:59 |

The only non-authoritarian alliance in Illy? ScottFitz will find this quite amusing.
Seriously, best wishes to all. Will be interesting to see how it evolves further.

Thanks. Since the end of LWO (which was referred to as anarchistic somewhere), I think there is no non-authoritarian alliance? Wikipedia defines authoritarian as: “In politics, an authoritarian government is one in which political authority is concentrated in a small group of politicians.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism) Properly most alliances are based on a very cooperative style. At the end however, the alliance leadership makes the important decisions (therefore the alliance is authoritarian). Are there other alliances that have polls to make decisions? I do not think so. But if I am mistaken, I am happy to fix that mistake. |

Janosch, most Crow alliances vote before making significant decisions such as war. The crazy folks in HUGcr even talk it over in alliance chat before issuing invites to new members, I hear.

"The Old Republic is the only non-authoritarian alliance of Illyriad."
This is a patently false assertion. |

Okay. I did not want to offend any of you Postmaster Generals . I have replaced “non-authoritarian” with “democratic”. I do not want to intensify this theoretical debate. But I am not sure, if occasional votes make you (patently) “non-authoritarian”. Edited by Janosch - 18 Apr 2012 at 13:34 |
