If working with a top-down structure, a full charter of policy and operating procedures is what you want then good for you guys, if it works then carry on.
I highly doubt that players and corps switch allegiances in Dust all that much more than in Eve (shall we discuss TEST?) and that difference between the two can be accounted by the difference in mentality between a point-and-click space sim and a FPSGǪthat will never change.
Its funny to me how the corps/alliances that one can consider 'Eve born' have maintained this attitude of "when it matters"GǪhow did that work out for Subdreddit? Your statement of All For One And One For All is nice but holds no weight until you have been tested by bloody, bloody warGǪthat attitude/belief has never been executed better than by EoN when we were at our peak before too many players went on to much greener pastures than Dust will have for a long long time.
EoNBrosBestBros is an attitude I will always have but the time came when there was little reason for us to maintain EoN tagsGǪsomeone like Ydubbs will always have mad respect from me for being a stubborn bastard and keeping his alliance tag when there is no longer any reason to (in Dust/Eve).
Rules for rules sake is nothing more than a leadership circle-jerk that can easily isolate your line members. KISS and following a trickle-down mentality creates cohesion, dedication and functionality while not stomping out individual corp culture.
But thats me, to each their own. +1 Everyone runs their alliances differently I could trash talk about CI but I like Zatara and Co as well OSG, DBSA, and Gunfall

This X1000. As a former top men member I fully agree. So do the other two who left with me and we were all vets with at least 10 mil sp. No offense but you think you're so different, but you're not. @ excillon - While you were with XMPLR, you had little to do with the corp and even less to do with the alliance. If you knew anything about either, you would know I am a General where you agreeing with Benjamin really make no sense.

Hey, I started this thread bashing probably half the other alliances in the game, I expect a fair share dished back.
Welcome to the War Room, Killar. ;)

Top Men's a bit more EVE oriented but it doesn't mean that we can't fight we stay on PFC because PC isn't really a huge priority, sure getting training is about all we can do but these wars are jokes, we've got plenty of ISK (that we can't use). The thing is, is that we've got issues our US side isn't the greatest, or most active but we've shown up before our corps all have had districts. Well it sounds like you guys are good enough to move out of PFC. Or are you there just to farm isk which you say you don't need? Why dont you graciously leave PFC and come into MH?
Pot calling the kettle black, congrats, you have a lot of districts, and are currently farming isk. I dunno why you would complain about 1 whole district on PFC.

And if you relate well with that type of personality, I highly recommend them. I met and played with some great people in this alliance.
The reason Se\7eN left, to put it simply, is because we could not agree with how decisions were made. It was just a difference in opinions. We thought an alliance was for individual corps to remain individual but have more resources when required. Our opinion was that others in the alliance thought an alliance was one giant corp.
I truly miss some of the players still there, and I wish nothing but good fortune to the Top Men alliance.
Happy Gaming!!! Many good points so far. The determining factor that I can see is a fine line between control and balance. Each corp must maintain it's individuality and persona within the alliance and not be overpowered by one or larger corps within the alliance. If not it is nothing more than a tyrannical dictatorship led by one expecting the others to follow, wrong approach.
Discontent is a very strong factor in breakdowns and will destroy an alliance from within, as we have all seen. To many corps join an alliance to quickly, go to the strongest or FOTM alliance and rule the heavens, only to find out it doesn't fit your players and tends for bad blood in the alliance and tears your corp apart.
Treating an alliance like a large corp is the best way to success only if you find other corps with like minded ideas and realistic goals you can all work towards together while each corp maintains it's own identity within, as one corps strength can help another corps weakness. This will help build you a back bone based on trust as you really get to know each other.
Regular alliance leadership meetings can keep a lot of BS from happening if the joint leadership stays focused on realistic goals and knows another corps intentions before it takes action, not after, it could lead to a war the rest of the alliance may not wish to partake in.

Spartacus Dust, as a note, recently we've had two opponents no-show us (from major DUST corps, at that), and one corp we fought, but they brought so many clones that beating them refilled our clones.
We're certainly in the market for good fights, and you should feel more than welcome to give us a fight.
We aren't the kettle. :)

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean by "this attitude of 'when it matters' "... but I'd say we're doing just fine. I mean, we've had a lot of fall off, but we've still got a healthy number of people engaged in the corp (rivaling the size of all but the largest), still have at least 20+ guys on IRC every day playing Dust and other games together, etc.
Sure, our numbers and player interest will always mirror that of the general audience for Dust, since we are a relatively casual corp with open membership to anyone with the proper credentials, but if you're looking for a corp to disparage I'm not sure we're the one you're looking for.
We've been here since before Corporations were even available in Dust 514 and we're sure to still be around as many more of the FoTM corps rise and fall. |

To be fair, the OP was much too long and tryhard-ish for me to bother reading (I was just skimming the thread and happened upon your post), so if I'm misinterpreting your comments as disparaging and you were really just making some broader point in response to the nonsense, then carry on. Frankly, I think I agree with your overarching point, if I'm understanding correctly what that point is. There really is no reason to worry about goofy roleplaying alliances (which is all they are in Dust 514), unless you are just into roleplaying. Otherwise, aside from that aspect, there isn't any reason for a bunch of alliances and rules, it's just mental ************ with no purpose. Let the dead be dead...
ALSO I agree with sheriff this ought to be in recruitment.
