Expectations of the Alliance:

In order to make sure we our alliance is competitive and active there will be expectations for participating in events. In PVE story events (like Unstable Iso) your point total can be no lower than 15% less than the alliances' average by Sunday morning (the last day of the event). This will ensure everyone is pulling their weight for these events and that we get the very valuable covers these events usually have.

For weekly PVP events (excluding lightning rounds of course) members are expected to participate in those in which the alliance has targeted. An event is targeted when I, or others, feel that the alliance can benefit from pushing that event. This gives members a break from playing every event while ensuring important covers are still obtained. Members are expected to earn at least 250 points in a targeted PVP event.

If expectations are not met, that member will be kicked from the alliance.

Feel free to discuss any of the expectations with me (too strict? too relaxed?), ideas, or anything you feel like on this thread. Make sure to follow this thread by clicking subscribe in the bottom left corner of this thread. The forums will then notify you if someone posts anything here.

Tips


I can't stress this enough, hold all your hero points to expand your roster. Deleting your single stars is up to you, though they are very useful for tanking. However nobody should ever delete 2 stars. Having a diverse roster enables you to use boosted characters for the event, a huge advantage. The amount of 2 and 3 stars in game are growing rapidly so being able to keep everyone in your roster is going to cost a lot of hero points. In an alliance of this size and ability we will be getting all the new heroes on a weekly basis so you are going to need hero points. I am currently paying 500 hero points for new slots in my roster, which is nothing to laugh at.

For PVE events spread time you have for Puzzle Quest between AM and PM. This will maximize the points you get daily. For instance if you have only an hour to spare for the day, play for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. This is because of how the point system is refreshed over time and rubber-banding.

Do not attack others in the alliance, for obvious reasons

Future Members

Check this discussion on mid Sunday PST (optimally early, but I like to sleep in) where I will post if there was a cut or was not a cut. I will also be posting in the pinned "Looking for Member" thread. The game allows me to keep applications in game once submitted until you join a different alliance, and I keep them all in case we have to cut somebody.

Alternately you can send me a private message with a listing of your roster and I will mark it as important. When we have an opening I will go through my messages marked important and PM you back that we have an opening, but only if your roster is better than those pending.

Before the end of the weekend event, I will pick the best roster out of current applications pending. Because of this it is probably safer for you to check in on Sundays and submit an application in game so your application stays on file until you join another alliance.

If your forum name is different than your in game name send me a PM too so I can note that in my logs. Thank you
