TBH, I think you can sum up every alliance in PC with the reason of Eve Support. I know that's why AE and NS are in RA as opposed to any other alliance, and it's definitely why we and SVER are in GT. The only other answer you might get is branding from the NF guys.

Tso's are really dominant atm in MH. It would take everyone else's eve that regularly traverses MH together and add in pirates to bring down the 40 or so Ive seen Tso's bringing.

Not to mention they could light the torches at Minas Tirith and bring in a lot of backup.

A month ago 8-10 ships were sufficient...hell for the first few weeks Himiko was blapping 4-5 nublets from Renegade without ever losing a ship. But since then it's really heated up with all the fighting.

I can't even imagine PC2.0 tbh.

It'll be tougher for a lot of peeps when the only OB's are Eve OB's, similar to Faction Warfare.

In our cases we were dumped from the CORVOS because we failed to enforce faction specific actions and there seemed to have had a negative effect in one of their campaign.

For the moment I think being able to have others back is what is important in an alliance. You augment your pool of ringers that are more cost effective and since they share the same goal than you, will give their best to win. Its important to share the same views from the beginning about corp expansion, honour, player retention and very long term game commitment. Our corp members are starting to ask those questions like where do we want to be in one year and who share our vision of an empire. Since we are a QC corp and most of our players do not necessarily speak fluent English, this as become a barrier that some of us must find a way to make work in an alliance. So there are always challenges to making these sorts of things work both ways.

Cause we're boss. Nuff said.

I will grant you that NS definitely benefits from being in an alliance with the dominant Western block - RA as a whole gets access to a bunch of timers which are hard to target and NS get's insurance that if those timers are ever flipped they can be flipped back just as readily by their allies. The time zone advantage is a big one and a really underrated one right now imo.
Agreed 100%

As far as ROFL, LOl, and EoN. are relics of an earlier time when there were more alliances because of corp battles. At the beginning of PC there were seven major alliances. At the time there were forty some highly competitive corps all with good corp battle records and all of whom were eagerly pairing up and flaunting their colors and showing off their allies. Now there are three major alliances (By major I mean has multiple landowning corps outside of PFC) and I believe that from here on out alliances will never be like it was, since we now know who's on top. Alliances has become less a diplomatic flaunting and more a tactical actuality. Formal alliances are in many was a thing of the past with informal positioning being the key. I predict we'll see alliances more and more that are collections of allies clamoring for eve support.
Eon.'s got RND and R* hell I think RND,Onslaught,KEQ,UPS,WRavens,and GAC ought to move on because they've got plenty of potential

As I understand it, Top Men. is mostly a collection of dust players who come from Eve and want their alliances to carry over. NF as I already said and this thread has pointed out, is about branding.
Top Men's almost 100% DUST and unrelated to EVE until the Gents need help we're out on a raft in the middle of the ocean...
NF, they're a brand a household name, NF are mercs, hell I'll be suprised if PL doesn't get into an agreement with them

LRA was initially founded with the intention of being a merc independent alliance, i.e. an alliance led by mercs rather than Eve players. As it is gameplay mechanics and lack of eve integration has led to many alliances being headed by mercs. I'm not sure what LRA is doing now. Same here

I was never quite sure what the umbra combine was. TSOLE
I don't know corvos.IDK Matthew Dust is part of it though

The Corvos Is deployed out of Molden Heath currently, building our fleet size ;)

Simple Eve support is becoming increasingly more required and from what I have seen Tso's > Everyone in Eve who cares about Dust 514.

As soon as you have to transport mercs from one district to another in your MCC in open space where you are able to be attacked... EVE side will be a necessity.

For sh1ts and giggles

RA CEO- Lets attack FA... *sends attack*
FA CEO- oh crap we are being attacked...*calls TSO* "Can you kill that MCC on the way over to our district?"
TSO EVE- "sure thing"

MCC *POP*

RA CEO- "DAMN DAMN DAMN"
FA CEO- "EZ"
FA CEO- "now i can go back to fapping about anime"

Twas an unhostile takeover... he bought Zat a new puppy and was immediately named CEO. This of course is all null because Mr. Machine Guns will be taking over FA soon!

Top Men is the only Alliance with REAL EVE backing it's just their Coalition doesn't give two ***** about Molden Heath.
They are the sleeping giant.

And yeah, for the most part I'd say a lot of the alliances in DUST are poorly held together, most of them will probably self destruct in the near future.

RND is unofficially allied with us, there was talk of them joining GT but it seems they decided to keep the old EoN. flag flying, a decision I completely sympathize with. This all just points to what I'm saying, alliances are artificial now. Allies aren't permanent, they never were, but now we in FA aren't any more distant from RND than we are from SVER. And that's nothing against SVER they're great guys but where the official alliance boundaries fall means nothing now.

I wasn't fully aware what Top Men are. Still not tbh. perhaps you can educate me.

I am aware that TSOLE is in Umbra Combine, but I don't know what the alliance is or what it is for. Timezone extension most likely.

Members of G I A N T have had ties to General Tso's and its CEO, Burseg Sardaukar, for years. We joined them after we deemed our time in EoN. (and constant nagging from Burseg) was done and with The Generals being close bros with us, we eventually brought them along.

Don't forget how combined we own less than 20% of MH, right?


RA owns upwards of 40%. So we have more corps in our alliance, they have (no disrespect meant to any corp in our alliance) more talent, more ISK, and more districts.

Well, the average player in AE is far better than me by a long shot. Of course I don't speak for my corp or alliance, I'm just FA's troll bait ;D I disagree have you seen rampage?

Considering Nyain San is sitting on....what 50 districts? I'd think they'd have into the hundreds of billions of ISK, considering they've been around since Imperfects and are still farming those districts... Agreed but how well does NS really work with RA?

Maybe it's just my perspective, but what I more meant by "more talent" is that it's all concentrated into one area. We try to consistently field full teams of FA. If we're looking for someone who excels in one role, then sure we have our places to get them from. I know my ML guys and 843 Guys the STB and FA went off of memory...

Who the hell is "Meat Loaf"?

Don't get your panties in a twist buddy.

We are quite grateful Tso's has allowed us the be at the core of their dust operations.

Yes yes Tso's is the best dust alliance for eve support.

No this doesn't mean they are better than the CFC. Lol

I'm sure Tso's will be Tso's regardless and their support has been amazing.

If we cut out all ***** remarks you would only have to compete with Selina's horns and Sops sobbing.

We get a lot of fights, null sec life i pretty fun. that is the simple reason behind it some other reasons i like my alliances is...

We go out on a lot of fleets pretty much a fleet goes out at least once a day.
Free to do what we please as an corporation not many restrictions.
Like having experienced FC's that know how to lead fleets properly.
Kill goons <-- Probably the best :)

I like General Tso's Chicken, extra crispy extra spicy

Some of the corps in this alliance have members with very squeaky voices.. and huge inflated egos... and some players with **** poor attitudes. I don't understand some of these kids who feel the need to CONSTANTLY flap their gums on comms.. for fucks sake just shut up and play your role.

Anyway.... bacon sucks.
