T? is currently not taking in new members

Alliance Name: 
Toothless? [T?]

Recruitment Contact:
 Kodabear
 
Who can join (any restrictions to race, location, population level, etc.)?
We take all race even bears. We take only new players. Under 2k is best.

What are some benefits of joining your alliance (protection, training, etc)?
 Protection, extensive training, help with finding good locations, resources provided regularly, 

What does the alliance stand for? What are it's goals and governing principles?

We are a peaceful alliance formed to help those who are new to the game. Not only do we train members in the nuances of the game, we support them with resources and materials so that they may grow quickly and become more engaged in all aspects of Illy.  T? does encourage self-sufficiency, especially with respect to food production.  After all, you are the sovereign of your kingdom, and ultimately must manage it for the welfare of your citizens!  

T? teaches the mechanics of this fascinating game, from initial city planning and development, to learning how to  hunt and craft, while exploring the magic, military, diplomatic and trading aspects of the game.  As part of this learning process, T? teaches city location principles, and works with its members to find and create excellent locations.  T? makes cities available to its members for siege and encourages that approach for acquiring their third city, which not only helps members to grow more quickly, but teaches the military and diplomatic aspects of Illy.  And it’s fun!

Ultimately, T? wants its members to have fun, and we have a very active AC to help with that.


What type of player are you looking for as members?
Any member that want to learn and have fun.


What rules govern the alliance? 
T? adheres to and teaches its members the Illy rules and conventions most commonly practiced, including those with respect to harvesting, settlement and relocation of cities. T? does not condone unprovoked attacks on other players, whether it be military or diplomatic in nature. T? also teaches appropriate responses to unprovoked attacks on its members, and believes firmly that inter-alliances communications are the preferred method of resolving disputes, but T? will take (and teach) other methods as necessary to protect its members.



When do your member Graduate on advantage (is it based on pop, time played, etc.)? 
 we encourage our students to go out into the wider Illy world when they have reached 10k population, by which point should should have learned the mechanics of the game, including sieging and capturing a city.

What makes your training alliance different from the other?  
 we're one of the oldest, most established training alliances, since we were founded on May 8, 2010, not very long after Illy itself came into being. We pride ourselves on developing players who fully understand the mechanics of the game, and are well enough educated to make good decisions regarding their ultimate path in Illyria.

TOOTHLESS? is very proud to have celebrated its fourth birthday in Illyriad.

http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/1080" rel="nofollow - - Maraxíce Araxúa’tse (Lumpwood Society)

Maraxíce Araxúa’tse [AbsaT] is a peaceful training alliance.  Maraxíce Araxúa’tse means “Lumpwood Society” in the native Apsaroke language.  We prepare our members to eventually graduate into the  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/189" rel="nofollow - Absaroke [Absa]  alliance, although upon graduation members can move freely on to any alliance they choose.  Likewise, graduating members are welcome to stay in Maraxíce Araxúa’tse for as long as they wish and are encouraged to help new players with resources and advice.

The Lumpwood Society offers a series of initiation rituals that are entertaining, challenging, and aid in teaching players the fundamentals of Illyriad.  Ritual challenges will help players understand quests and research discoveries, participate in member forums, bookmark useful links, use diplomatic units, use military units for both attacking and defending, understand the mechanics of sieging, explore the mysteries of the map, etc.  While learning the intricacies of the game, members of AbsaT are achieving rank through the accomplishment of various ritual deeds.

The Lumpwood Society is a peaceful alliance, and any offense should be presumed a misunderstanding.  Our goal is to train new players.  If you find yourself facing a difference of opinion with a Lumpwood Society member, please ask for assistance from either  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Player/Profile/229105" rel="nofollow - Dragon Sucubus  or http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Player/Profile/29757" rel="nofollow - Neytiri  (the founding members of the Lumpwood Society) so that we may have the opportunity to resolve the conflict peacefully.

Hi all!

Eclipse [MOON]  is a training and mentoring alliance that is personal, independent and fun. We aim to offer a good, sound knowledge of all areas of Illy gameplay, with emphasis on diplomacy and communication within the world of Elgea.

We will continue mentoring players until they are ready for their sixth town, at which time players should have an idea of their game play and style.  We are happy to provide advice on future alliance choice at that time.

Check out our profile:
http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/1136

With regular tournies and links to other alliances, I am sure you will be kept busy and happy whilst you are with us.        

Handshake

Who can join (any restrictions to race, location, population level, etc.)?
As a training alliance, we give preference to new players of lower population levels but we also welcome veterans to our ranks who desire a change of pace and the opportunity to share their knowledge with others.

What are some benefits of joining your alliance (protection, training, etc)?
Our membership can benefit from the many resources and activities our members provide including formal and informal tournaments and challenges, individual and group training in all aspects of the game.  We protect our members both through diplomacy and strength while continuing to build good will throughout the community.

What does the alliance stand for? What are it's goals and governing principles?
Shrapnel's Free Defense Union is one of the oldest training alliances in Illy. We provide fun, knowledge, and support in a friendly environment that allows you to express yourself and find your own way in Elgea. We help you to learn the game without a dogmatic doctrine that can thwart your creativity. We will teach you and give you our opinion but your choices are yours which we will respect. We encourage new players to use this alliance as a stepping stone before moving to other alliances that may more closely match their playing style.

What type of player are you looking for as members?
We look for members whom are willing to abide by the simple rule of having fun without causing harm.

What rules govern the alliance? 
We are a peaceful alliance and our members are forbidden from taking unprovoked hostile action against others. 

When do your member Graduate on advantage (is it based on pop, time played, etc.)? 
Our membership is not bound by any arbitrary course or goal.  They are free to move on into the greater world when they feel they are ready to.

What makes your training alliance different from the other?  
FDU-S is a diplomatically neutral alliance providing our membership an element of freedom as we are not beholden to any other alliance.  Together, along with our sister alliance, ITG and the recent merger with SMA we serve in memory of Shrapnel, a great leader, great individual and a great friend to many,who moved on to the Great Adventure beyond but left a lucky few with great memories and the rest of us with a noble philosophy and purpose.

We Would Welcome You To Visit Shrapnel's Memorial at  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/Map/-57/-115/4" rel="nofollow - #/World/Map/-57/-115/4

Alliance Name: 
Love and War [LAW]

Recruitment Contact: 
Harry Gihan, Elrohir Telemnar, Yasani

Who can join (any restrictions to race, location, population level, etc.)?
No current restrictions. Newer players are preferred, however experienced players willing to share their knowledge are also welcomed. 

What are some benefits of joining your alliance (protection, training, etc)?
We offer detailed guidance to new players for their first towns as well as military and economic strategy.

What does the alliance stand for? What are it's goals and governing principles? 
 Treat other players how you would wish to be treated. :)

What alliance are you affiliated with?
N/A

When do your member Graduate on advantage (is it based on pop, time played, etc.)?  
Truly, it is up to an individual player to determine if they are ready to move on or not, under most circumstances we would recommend that they gain at least their first 5 cities with us. After that they are free to move on or stay with us to share their knowledge and perfect their skills in the finer points of the game. 

What makes your training alliance different from the other?  
Variety of background and experience, as well as encouragement for all members to be involved in new concepts for the alliance.

What rules govern the alliance? 
Keep it simple, no hostile actions without approval from leadership, grow, learn, participate, and have fun. 

Any other information you would like to add? 
We are a new alliance and want the members that we gain early to help us shape us for the future. 

While remaining a peaceful and neutral alliance, we will be happy to share our in depth knowledge of the military mechanics of the game, as well as a good understanding of the economy and development of maintainable towns.  To us, it's important that new players understand "why" they should build a certain way, not just get told what to do.

public note here that the vast majority alliances train, and most are free with resources. a designated training alliance will offer, in most cases, a membership with a higher percentage of new players. beyond that, it's really all in the individual alliance, training or otherwise.

Alliance Name: the House of Plantagenet (PLAN)

Recruitment Contact:

Recruitment officer Mr Ears; or the King of the Realm, Cactus

Who can join (any restrictions to race, location, population level, etc.)?
We are not race restrictive.  We take anyone who has the desire to learn the game. 

What are some benefits of joining your alliance (protection, training, etc)?
We take care of our own!  People will receive training and protection.  They will be taught how to play the game and be courteous to their neighbors.

What does the alliance stand for? What are it's goals and governing principles?  
We stand for peaceful coexistence among the alliances. We are lead by the King of the Realm and his Court of the Round Table.  We want people to have fun free of suppression and oppression from other individuals or alliances.

What alliance are you affiliated with?
Damage Inc. (OUCH) is our sister alliance and protective umbrella.  Other alliances have also indicated they will protect us from aggressive players and alliances.

When do your member Graduate on advantage (is it based on pop, time played, etc.)? 
We do not require people to quit at a certain level.  If they reach a level of 40k pop , normally they have already been taught to be a mentor to the newer people in the alliance. They may choose to leave at anytime , or at any level int heir training.  They will not be forced out unless they cause a problem or cease to be active in the alliance.  If they want to move to another alliance, we will help them find a home.

What makes your training alliance different from the other?  
When possible we have one on one training between mentors  and our new people.  We make every effort to make them feel like part of the "family" of PLAN

What rules govern the alliance? For example, diplomats and troops: who can they be used against in a hostile manner (no one, only NPC's or certain factions, only those at war with, only inactive's, only with permission, anyone not in the alliance or in NAP with your alliance, etc)? 
1.  We train and allow people to attack only NPC's, abandoned and/or inactive players unless they first have been the victim of an unprovoked attack.  Then they must gain permission from the leadership to retaliate. If they were wronged and diplomatic measures were unsuccessful in achieving a satisfactory resolve then what ever retaliatory measures would be administered would be controlled by the Prime Minister of PLAN and must be approved bythe King..
2.  Abandoned accounts that are still attached to an alliance may not be attacked without permission from the home alliance
3. Should our confederated alliances ask for help with a just cause, only volunteers from our alliance may join their fight.  They must drop out of PLAN to join a fight but when they are done, may return without penalty.  The leadership of PLAN will determine whether the cause is just.
4.  In time of war, PLAN shall remain Neutral as an alliance.
5.  Contrarily we will not stand by and let others harass or intimidate our players and expect not to receive retaliation.

Any other information you would like to add? none!
People who join PLAN will be free from harassment from within the alliance.  We do not allow badgering or misconduct from ill tempered and ill mannered players. We are a family in Illy and want to keep it friendly and clean.

All of the above...

What rules govern the alliance? For example, diplomats and troops: who can they be used against in a hostile manner (no one, only NPCs or certain factions, only those at war with, only inactives, only with permission, anyone not in the alliance or in NAP with your alliance, etc)? 

Go here  and read under "And now about us. Seriously":
   http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Alliance/Alliance/740" rel="nofollow -

Alliance Name: Gizmonic Institute (tag: MST3k)

Recruitment Contact: so far, just me (Pehla) - I made it recently, but I hope to add to it :)

Who can join (any restrictions to race, location, population level, etc.)?
no restrictions on race, location, pop level ('cept I Highly encourage you to "finish" the city tutorial :D).  Mostly, this will be a peaceful, trade-centered alliance, and the only ones that we may weed out are ones that overtly militaristic or have a self-/guild-sabotaging mindset...
That being said, if you're nice, caring, and easy to get along with..with a "great" sense of humor, you'll prolly move up the ranks in Illy, both in the guild and also the game.  


What are some benefits of joining your alliance (protection, training, etc)?

Being a returning player, I can't offer "full" protection, but would recommend you Don't go looking for trouble in the first place.  However, being a new guild/kinship, I will be doing the recruiting, so when I add you and we talk, you'll be able to be trained in the finer things Illy has to offer.

If, for some reason, I do not know the answer, I will point you towards resources (inside and outside the game), players, and possibly other guilds who could help.

I am not going to keep someone who doesn't want to stay; that's not how I roll.

What does the alliance stand for? What are it's goals and governing principles?  

Mst3k has a sub-theme of being free-spirited, and counter-society/culture.  I will instill this theme in all our alliance-mates whenever possible.  I will not instill rebellious-ness; instead, I will instill a critical (thinking) mindset...as the late, great George Carlin said, "you need to look at things from a slanted, 45 degree angle" from everyone else, and be able to realize when something doesn't feel right.

That being said, if you're looking for a fight, militaristically, this is the wrong alliance for you.  As stated (so far) on the in-game alliance page, the alliance will pursue every means necessary to find a non-"lethal" solution; where that fails, it will be remembered that, "War is diplomacy by another means".

What alliance are you affiliated with?

I am not affiliated with any "larger" alliance (see next question), so we will not be swayed by petty squabbles among the larger alliances, but will rely on our internal metrics/decisions among our own members, as each one of us will have equal access to the information presented - and each one will be able to vote independently from each other to reach an equitable decision that will affect the entire alliance.

When do your member Graduate on advantage (is it based on pop, time played, etc.)?  

I would not "force" graduation; you are free to move on when you wish, when you think yourself ready.  We are not jedi - there are no trials; we are not a school - there are no tests;  if you feel you are ready to move on, that is the best measurement.

What makes your training alliance different from the other?  

Being "different" or "unique" is being thrown about in today's society, therefore this seems like a loaded question.

However, I have returned thrice now (Lutie, BobSmith, and now Pehla), so I have seen many things go away, but I have also seen many changes arrive.

If you cannot bend with the wave(s), you will break when it does.

Also, being a Mst3k-themed alliance, we will encourage levity and being jovial/happy whenever the situation presents itself.  If you cannot laugh at the world, the world will not be kind to you; if you can laugh at the world, life will laugh with you.

What rules govern the alliance? For example, diplomats and troops: who can they be used against in a hostile manner (no one, only NPCs or certain factions, only those at war with, only inactives, only with permission, anyone not in the alliance or in NAP with your alliance, etc)? 

As an alliance that strives to maintain a "peaceful" nature with its neighbors, diplomats and troops can be used against any NPC, limited factions (it will be an alliance-wide vote on which one(s)..."an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"), and no real players (inactive or not).

The exception(s) to the above rule: 1. with explicit written permission, copied and pasted to me, from the player in question; 2. if by some odd chance we are at war, my war minister will see to the organization of the armies and overall tactics.

Any other information you would like to add? 

if you are unfamiliar with either Rifftrax, Mystery Science Theater 3000, or Cinematic Titanic, I would recommend doing some research first, b/c comedy - like laughter - is always the best medicine.

Thank you for your time and patience in reading this ^_^ - Pehla, "The Mad" of Gizmonic Institute.

Our goals are to thrive in harmony with those who would welcome us, conquer those who would not, set higher standards for skill and integrity, and bring P.E.A.C.E. to the heathens. We enjoy long walks in the mountains, showing new players how the West was tamed, drinking the blood of our enemies, and mature conversation. Turn-offs are intentionally sloppy grammar, boasting, bullying, and weak attempts at psychological or social manipulation.

RECRUITMENT:

Harmless members are active, alert, well-spoken, cooperative and supportive. Harmless is currently open to limited recruiting and will consider strong applicants. Applicants must have a 4 city minimum and reasonable military to be considered. Harmless require a high level of dedication to our alliance from each and every member and this means we expect that each Player's "Main" account should be in Harmless and preferably both Main and Alt for those who have two accounts.

Please contact our recruiter, Starry, if you wish to be considered. Please understand that we cannot promise to respond to every applicant.

POLICIES:

Harmless adheres to the de-facto standard  http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/settlement-proximity_topic2785_page1.html" rel="nofollow - 10-square rule .  To avoid unnecessary conflicts, players who wish to move their cities or settle new ones within 10 squares of an existing Harmless city should contact the owner of the existing city and a Harmless Director or Diplomat prior to initiating the move.  Any player who does not acquire the appropriate permissions in advance may be subject to having the new/relocated city removed by force.

Harmless holds a "minimal ties" policy with regard to inter-alliance treaties.  New diplomatic ties will not be forged except with alliances who are comparable in size, strength, and/or goals to ourselves, in close proximity to us, and already enjoying strong friendly relations.  When we do establish inter-alliance ties,  http://arcanum-illyria.com/wiki/Elgea:Harmless/Treaties" rel="nofollow - our treaty agreements  respect each party's solidarity, internal sovereignty, and continued independence.  Alliances wishing to forge tighter relationships with us should start by establishing a presence in our Embassy with representatives from their leadership and members alike.  Silent diplomatic offers shall be silently ignored.

All players in Illyriad are welcomed to join us in the Embassy at our external forums,  http://diggik.com/forum" rel="nofollow - http://diggik.com/forum .  After siging up an account there using the exact same username as in-game, contact KillerPoodle or  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Communication/ComposeMail/1734" rel="nofollow - Starry  for account authorization and appropriate access based on alliance membership.  Participating alliances will each be granted private subforums where their leadership can speak with our own in confidence.  Wherever possible, Harmless conducts all foreign business and handles all foreign issues through our Embassy.  We are internally led (essentially) as an oligarchy, and as such are best able to address and resolve any issues when foreign parties do us the courtesy of registering for and using our Embassy.  This facilitates shorter response times and granular privacy on all negotiations.  Alliances may designate as many leaders as desired to be their emissaries, so that response times can short in both directions and so that our guests may negotiate on equal footing with as many participants as we employ.

DIPLOMACY:

As an alliance, Harmless seeks to be fair and reasonable in all its dealings wherever possible, and to foster good will with any who would do the same:

  • Harmless does not generally condone actions against active, neutral players--especially smaller players. However, our members may conduct operations at their individual discretion. Where discretion is lacking, the target of these hostilities may have political recourse.
  • Subjects of Harmless hostility not officially sanctioned may be protected by cease-and-decist orders and/or entitled to restitution at the discretion of our Diplomats or Directors. Instigators of such hostility deemed to have acted in bad faith or contrary to our rules of conduct may face punishment ranging from restitution to expulsion, also at our Diplomats' or Directors' discretion.
  • Unprovoked attacks against any Harmless member shall face the full support of this alliance which shall be sustained until such time as equitable resolution is achieved. Any attack against a Harmless member not preceded by grievance filed through diplomatic channels may be treated as unprovoked and exempt from liability of any Harmless member, regardless of prior actions.
  • Harmless considers any and all diplomatic missions against its membership as hostile behavior and reserves the right to respond entirely out of proportion to the instigating event.
  • Alliances often declare or instigate wars without consulting or informing its members, who often have no knowledge of why they are at conflict or expected to fight. Any such member who remains completely neutral by not attacking, performing diplomatic missions, or supporting other members of their alliance who do, shall be deemed neutral and may be granted asylum, on a case-by-case basis. Any member caught supporting hostilities shall be deemed an active target and treated as such with extreme prejudice.

If you have grievance against Harmless or some of its members, or find yourself entrenched in a conflict you cannot handle or did not provoke, please first attempt a direct resolution through communication. It is our sincere hope that doing so shall bring the most amicable and timely resolution possible. If no satisfactory resolution is forthcoming, further options are available:  if you are a member of an alliance, reaching us through your alliance representative on our Embassy is preferred.  If you are a lone player or Embassy access is not an option for you, you may instead speak directly with one of our Diplomats:

  • KillerPoodle
  • Starry

We shall endeavor to hear and fairly mediate any disputes as we are able. But be forewarned: we shall judge and treat you as we see you judge and treat others.  Players and alliances who bypass our Embassy unnecessarily can also expect reduced priority due to the internal overhead this creates for us.
