    Join Dorm.
    We're lazy.

    That would certainly complete the circle -- I think I did promise Beast 9 years ago that I'd come back before I retired (I was one of the three founders of Dormanmu U in 2014).

    I know.
    We remember you being NICE to people on LINE.
    Don't worry, we won't tell anyone.

    I also remember randomly meeting someone from a small PvE-only alliance called Kick ****, teaching him and the rest of his alliance how to fight as a team, and bringing them into the forum truce rooms. I actually created the LINE room that became KA BC -- I think that room is still around in some form.

    It all sounds so cosy! Do you guys get health insurance plans and like dental? I am going to have to have some serious talks with my Co-Commander because we do NOT have a retirement option!

    Yes! We have group health insurance, life insurance and a 401k match. We even have Paid Time Off too! I heard a rumor we might get pet insurance later this year!

    The collective will be in touch.
    They'll just assimilate you and put you wherever their hive mind thinks you fit best.

    It must have been like learning Obi Wan knew about your twin sister all along but now he is a ghost and it is too late to not write in your diary "Kissed a girl today...it was HOT!"

    They should rename themselves The Borg! Or The Phalanx! Body snatchers? Who do I talk to about this?

    I mean, playing like a jerk has zero to do with being a jerk. I've had plenty of friendly conversations with people whilst repeatedly sniping them for 500 points.

    It's when people can't separate game stuff from reality that things get weird. I ended up having to block almost everyone on LINE because it just got tiresome having to hear constant sad, angry whining about me or my teammates.

    Y'all have a much different experience with these Alliance families than I do. I retired for nearly 3yrs and when I returned we were part of a family, but again, my alliance is still the same. Nothing has changed from my point-of-view. No one "higher" than us is telling us we must lend our people or anything like that. In the year I've been back we're playing like we've always played.

    Of course! Obi Wan is the best Jedi despite this little mistake! Your reputation is fine! I would join your Alliance - sorry Mooses!

    I've been making fun of the KA collective for 9 years, I'm not going to stop now.
    I've been part of it for... 3 or something.

    My Co-Commander came round at Easter and we had a BBQ and not once did he thank me for putting up with him all this time or tell me I could retire with benefits. I genuinely can't wait to join an Alliance that loves me for ME.

    I guess I just never paid much attention to the Alliance stuff enough. At this point in my MPQ career, I'm basically only known as the "guy who does the Meeting posts" lol

    As long as you bring points, we'll love you for being you.
    When you stop bringing points, I'll have to have a talk with you.

    Do KA have an active Alliance in every single time slice?

    They have roughly 67 alliances total, so yes.

    Lol. Actually KA has a total of 16 alliances. Which is a lot, but not sure if it's the biggest family.

    How on earth can you keep track of 320 players that you're not allowed to attack in PvP? And that's to say nothing of the (presumably) several other full alliance-wide truces you're required to abide by...

    Wait there are more options?!?!?

    I like the idea of KA and the retirement plan but I am not sure I could keep up with the amount of Mafia hits required and I don't have easy access to Horse heads.

    I like the idea of Bowgentle's Alliance of love but it does also sound like they might beat me up at any given moment.

    I really like Entrailbucket's KILL Everything deal but my roster is at least 1,569 levels below his so he might not notice I joined.

    So hit me with the good stuff!

    Easy! The Commanders of every alliance has access to a shared spreadsheet. We're required to record the points of every member, which tallies up the full total for the Family.

    There is also a tab for a hit-list too. I believe I saw your name on it. PM if you like to get removed. Perhaps we can negotiate.

    Note: I'm completely kidding about all this, but wouldn't be surprised if other families use this method
