Opened dialogue with AE-NW

This is early, but hold off raids on members of AE-NW. I am discussing with them the possibilities of joining us or peacefully co-existing.

Its never to early to have an ally, never know if were going to need one in the future.

It's definetely good to have allies at the beginning game, makes you feel a lot safer in the knowledge that another bunch of guys and gals can't raid you.

Okay, an update: They are pushing for us to merge with them, or possibly, a dual wing system. Please start commenting. We will need to make a choice soon.

Do we know anything about them? Where they on any previous servers and if so what rank and how experienced are they? imo its a little early to push for a merge but it may benefit us...if anything i say have them merge into FUN (if thats our ally name)...keep the good ones kick and farm the ones who are of no use or cant be taught! Start of servers you have a bunch of joe shmos starting an alliance so i dont think we want to merge with a joke alliance or a bunch of simmers! again my opinion only.

They are a group of friends and co-workers from S8 who started s6 from the beginning. Like us, they are spread out. They mentioned that there are 20 to 30 of them. Current standings, they ranked 3rd, with 15 members.

I'm also thinking that it's a a little early for them to be pushing for a merge. Do they know what our numbers look like so far - I know we have more people than are listed on the roster sticky or the starting co-ordinate section.

Personally, I'd be more in favor of a solid NAP or confederacy with a thought towards merging down the road when we see what numbers both sides can pull in.

merge...No...confed...yes...nap...yes

VV, i'm thinking of a dual wing or alliance (confed). Athena is to contact me and I can bring about our concerns.

Update:

Athena contacted me. I gave her my option of being a dual wing or a confed when FUN shows itself. Awaiting her reply.

Her reply:

They are interested in a dual wing. We run our wing, they run their's. No leadership issues. As for name, we each retain our own. However, we both add something in front of it showing our alliance, almost like the meta's emc=fun and emc$fun$. I suggested Unity-FUN and Unity-AE-NW. Any objections?

me likes that idea alot "Unity-FUN-" or something like that

Reminiscent of the old days where FUN was dual-winged with ICE.

Ok gang, confirmed confed with words on our alliance page stating each other as sister wings. We run our wing, they run theirs.
