Why not put the link right here, too?
http://absa.997458.n3.nabble.com/

Also, AbsaT is like a game within a game.  If you haven't given us a look-see, please check out our alliance homepage.

There is link to Absa forum on our alliance page now. Players interested in joining Absa or AbsaT can register, meet people, and ask whatever they like to know. Members from other alliances are also free to visit, discuss trade, politics, or complain in our Bitter Sea.

Everyone is welcome

The only damage a small player can do to a larger player is through espionage actions, new players are valuable in the sense that they are more or less a commodity of "land", come to think of it, all players are valuable in this sense.

I see little value in a new player being targeted in war.

@Noki,
We do not measure people based on their size. It is up to each player to decide what is right and what is wrong for him. Smile



While respecting your opinion I do think it is wrong to shield oneself behind new players. You cant ask new players to make an informed decision on entering an alliance at war as they don't comprehend what exactly they are getting into, so you are really just evading the responsability. I do not dispute your right to recruit, but I agree with Noki that the timing is wrong.

There will be no hiding behind new players. All players will know the score, up front. Further, if anyone decides joining Absa is wrong for them, they will always be free to leave without any consequences whatsoever. It is a policy that we have always held.

Finally, quite a few alliances at war have their recruiting status set to "yes", including at this moment both the largest alliance in soup and the largest alliance in coal. It seems to be a rather standard practice.

How exactly is stating that they are currently at war not informing them what is going on?  This isn't a job interview or a surgery consultation, it's a game.  And how exactly is that shielding oneself behind new players?  Are their enemies going to automatically target the new player's towns instead of the ones attacking back?  Honestly it is too costly to run a siege, you at least want to hit someone of value.  Or are you really going to risk 80+ catapults trying to take a 5k pop town?  I don't honestly believe that Absa's enemies are that stupid.
