Well the time has finally approached for me to do this this thread
Orbit was started by the merge of 3 alliances : Unforgiven Sin , European Legion and Every1 Welcome. This was in round 14. Since then we have played every round. Round 19 saw command changes with Crowly and Masta_Mark HC'in, along with Magistar and ShiningYoshi both from previous rounds. Orbit finished in a well earned position of 13th after some minor "wars" with alliances around our own rank.
Round 20 we started stronger. We worked our way up the ranks, and ended up in the fight for 5th. We lost out to ascendancy and finished 6th, a big leap from the previous round.
In Round 21 we go into it with plans for a smaller member count and with the intent to build a strong core of officers. This is partially because all 4 of the HC and many of the members have important exams at college/university.
Attacks...
We offer many attacks for our members, these are at a time which is conveinent for nearly all members of different timezones, and if it isnt then we work something out for you and make sure you still get to attack.
Everyone should attack, even if its only a fake, or your certain that you will be covered. It all draws fleets away from your ally mates, allowing them to land. This means the allaince gains even if you dont. Play for the alliance, not just yourself.
Defence...
The awesomeness that is Yoshi, coded us a new def bot last round so we have a shiny bot which all your incs can be reported to. DC's are around nearly all the time, and more will be recruited during the round to fill in gaps (we are playing to train some DC's up). As for sending defence, last round we covered alot of incs and the willingness of the members to send def helped us do that. Dont send def dont get def, simple as.
If its your first round we will still consider your application, we will accept any player with comman sense and the ability to learn. Just drop by in
#Orbit and pm one of the HC's for recruitment.
The HC's this round will be Masta_Mark, ShiningYoshi, Magistar and Crowly (less active for most becoz of exams)
