I currently object to allowing a player to join two alliances on the grounds that I was considering the same option earlier in the game until I was told that such a arrangement would be in violation of the rules. Also the individual that had previously stated that this arrangement was against the rules now seems to be a proponent of one race having two separate alliances. This seems to me to be interpretation of game rules based on personal interest at the time. I feel this is a fundemental conflict of interest and would offer a unfair advantage to the individual that played both sides of this rule.


He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster...when you gaze long into the abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

The last email that I received seemed to suggest that it would not be possible to join two alliances either way.

Did I read wrong?

How are you to know if your Allie has another race set to friendly or not. Its out of your
control. You could inadvertently become part of a four-way group without knowing it. Being guilty
without fault of your own.
If the rule is that no One race can have more then Two other Races set to Friendly then this
kind of thing can be monitored & players can be held accountable.
Keep in mind that you may only be allowed two allies but that doesn't mean you cant have a
number of NAP's or border agreement, etc.
Maybe at some point in the game we should change the battle settings to included: attack
neutrals. That way everyone has time to figure out which side off the tracks their on.

Just an idea.

It doesn't really matter to you. If you already have an ally, then you know that another one has to be in the same alliance or you would've broken the rules. So you can't tell if someone else has broken the rule, but our host can always control it.

I agree
As long as our Host keeps players from having more then two Allies then things should work
themselves out.
Ex: If I'm allied with the Eagles & the Eagles with Combat & Combat with Airny & Airny with
me. We would have a four way group but this wouldn't stop Combat & I (for example) from
going at it. In fact it would prevent the other two from favoring one of the combatants.
I think I'm confusing myself:)
