So, let's hear it. Why did you choose to join the alliance you did?

I chose them randomly from a list after GWII.

High levels of:

Intelligence
Maturity
Role-playing

Because they threatened to tech raid me.

for the epic shens

When I sign up in GATO, the awesome recruiters convince me quickly.

searched for a small alliance that had an upside.
chose correctly.

Haha.

:wub: Kammy :wub:

i joined CN and the Blue sphere just after PWII and was trying to choose between NAAC and NpO. i chose NpO due to its smaller size and most seemed more friendly than NAAC.

Because the NPO was the best alliance back in May 2006 and continues to be the best today.

A friend recommended my current alliance in another forums, I joined it, and I'm staying because we like to go dine in hell together.

Probably because I founded it.

GATO- they seemed the best option at the time I joined back in february 06. I liked their charter and they were the most important alliance around. I was also recieved very well by the people there. The final thing that made me choose them was seeing a thread in the forums about them expelling a spy from their ranks... not another alliance's spy, but one who tried to spy for them.

Legion- They seemed like the only intelligent democracy around. To that point in time, I had never seen them elect bad cabinet members, unlike nearly every other democratic alliance I had watched.

NPO- I watched even Legion elect bad leaders, so I got sick of democracy in CN and decided to see the other side. I also really wanted to work more with Dilber, who I worked with some in GATO before either of us were leaders, and I really respected him.

Vox Veritas- I built this thing with Kevlar to hopefully get around the perils of democracy while eliminating the excesses of autocracy, as well as get the bureaucracy under control, which is a problem in all alliances.

Because the NAAC's fail:win ratio was steadily increasing. Also because the alliance was started by people I've been acquainted with for over a year.

Because they found me first

Nah, I don't think that's the reason. No other reason you can think of? :lol:

I respected the members who founded it and I wanted to be part of something great.

Moved to Global Politics.

Because I'm a German buff, and The German Empire sounded nice, and is :D

Because I'm a GOON, there was no choice.

ODN- gave good money to sarting nations and everybody was friendly. plus penguin's pub was always full of booze.

MDC- i wanted a smaller alliance that wasnt big YET. i chose them because they gave money and didnt seem like too bad of chaps. i liked their charter.
it turns out like i made the right decision here. especially since i was contemplating going to FAN before i saw them. lol
that would have been a disaster :o

Because after spending a few hours at my first alliance, the offer I recieved from TDO made them seem like the best alliance I could join.

It turns out they were anyway.

Christian Coalition of Countries: They were trustworthy Christians with the same morals I had. I figured it was the right thing to do.

Being a Paradoxian is rather logical that I'm a member of The Order of the Paradox

I was recruited by one of ODN's recruiters to join it while it was just in its infancy.

Has I registered on the forums several days earlier, I may have been a creator!

Because I love The Orange Defense Network.

*still don't have my mask <<%

Well I came here to play with goons from one of the SA threads, so I joined GOONS. Not exactly rocket surgery.

Because it was a small alliance that seemed to have smart leadership.

Ummm...
UGO - first recruited, victors of the 1-day war (i still don't know what that was)
SyN - couldn't give them a 'bye'
NAAC - Because they lost in GWII. I was going to join Legion, but i saw them as cowardly pricks (GWIII sort of proved that)
Sanctum - my expected home after the NAAC disolved. Well, actually, because Vir made it, and he was the dude i decided to follow to a new alliance, even though i'm now sad he doesn't get nuked, http://www.cybernations.net/search_wars.as...9607&Extended=1
NV - joined for a day to make Kommandant happy.
Sanctum - you don't realize what's home until you leave.

Guess. ;)

Because you made it? ;)

Foreign Division - Friend of mine from NationStates built it and invited me.

LSF - Direct Democracy FTW.

Because I love German culture and such and NoV has a thick German flavor.

Heheh, no. The GPA was founded by Phil Gaea; I joined them because, at the time, there was no other Green Team alliance. And I sure as hell didn't found the NPO.

You're not Karp's multi? :blink:

I need to stop believing rumors.

GGA: Because of the Celtic theme they are a great group and Bilrow's avatar at the time was pure win

ONOS:After GW3 I wanted a taste of what it would be like outside of WUT and ONOS appeared to be the best choice for that. The membership was a great group and created an awesome community but the leadership....well we all know how that turned out.

\m/: This alliance is amazing in all ways imaginable. I joined because of the people and because of the freedom allowed to the members and I have never had more fun playing CN than i have in my time here.

Illuminati: Because they had the best recruitment message when I first joined. I also knew a few people that had been in the alliance and had enjoyed it. Great group of guys there.

DLP: Because we have known each other from various other games for over a year now. I couldn't let them down in this game. Besides, they are a great group of people with good intelligence and loyalty.

I was just lookin around for something to do when I joined \m/. Now I've stayed b/c I keep getting elected for @#$%.

Oh and the whole alliance just plays the game to have fun and make people cry, I like that a lot.

BoSS was the first alliance to recruit me that was my color. Pretty simple.

Nicest community and it's own diverse and odd culture :)
