Players of any size and any interests are welcome.
There is no compulsion to be a military player. I'd like to see more traders and craftsmen. And if not for the lovely people who spend their time to chat with us daily, I suspect many of us would have left the game out of boredom long time ago.
@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.

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.

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.

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.

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

a small player can do major damage to a large player. no matter what the size, territory is very important and a live active player adds great value to any alliance. all newbies should realize their value and all players in this game are important no matter what their size is or how new they are....beware of the small account, they can bring a larger player to their knees very quickly....remember smaller accounts are easier to replace than large ones.....wink wink...join the alliance that best fits your needs newbies the game needs to get rid of the mind set that anyone out of rainbow needs special protection, its a falsehood that somehow was incorporated into this game....this is a true game of thrones and the devs have given the smaller players the capability to do damage that can turn any war.

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.

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
