[Scallywags] for Round 48
-[Scallywags]-
scallywags plural of scal·a·wag (Noun)Noun:
A person who behaves badly but in an amusingly mischievous rather than harmful way; a rascal.
The name is up for debate so far. However, this will be a traditional alliance. Traditional policies and traditional tactics will be employed. I’ll be looking for about 5-6 four man groups to populate the base of the alliance. If a group does not get in, I encourage them to play for the alliance they land in. If you want to try to get in a group or feel you have a decent group that wants to be one of the first allowed in, get a hold of me through PMs or on AIM. My main reason for this alliance is to have fun, my secondary reason is because I want to teach a couple people how to properly plan and execute an alliance.
AL: Me (AIM: ScientologySK)
VAL: Dogtown (AIM: DogtownSK)
VAL/FM: Archimedes (AIM: dragonknight314)
-[Rules and Regulations]-
[Retals]
If you break a rule, you will be approved for a retal. If a member of another alliance breaks one of our rules, we will contact their leaders and request a retal. Once approved it will be posted in the Alliance Forums. You MUST post that you are completing the retal in the appropriate thread before taking any action. If you do not, you will be subject to the rules below. If another alliance can not or choose not to carry through with a retal, that is their own concern, not ours. If another alliance deems a proper retal unjustified it will be grounds for war.A retal can only be completed by the following:
- 1 successful or failed hit.
- 5 successful arsons.
[Farming]
Any farming done by an alliance mate will result in immediate death. Don’t come here and expect to cheat. If I, or anyone else, catches you we WILL kill you. If your kingdom is looking too suspicious, I’d rather kill you than deal with the headache of defending you. I know the mechanics of this game and if you can’t provide sufficient proof that you’re playing by the rules, it’s enough for me to kill your kingdom. Farming in other alliances will be subject to hard proof only. If an alliance is not removing it’s own cheaters it will be grounds for me to declare war.[Free Land]
Kingdoms with under 500 tanks of defense are free land. Kingdoms with only 33% of their total military as defense are considered free land.[Bashing]
Bashing is defined by hitting someone ⅓ of your land size. If you bash, you will be approved for three retals. If you bash again, your kingdom will be approved for a KT. If a kingdom is declared free land, bashing rules no longer apply.[Gangbangs]
A gangbang occurs when a kingdom is hit more than 3 times by a single alliance in a 24 hour period. To prevent gangbangs in outside alliances you MUST post your hits in the alliance forums. If a gangbang occurs, the kingdom that did not post their hit in the alliance forums will be subject to a retal. First gangbang offense will be approved one retal. Second offense will be approved three retals. Third offense will be approved for a KT.[Aggressive Probings]
Aggressive Probings are off limits except for in times of war. Any of the following consititutes an aggressive probing:- Arson
- Sabotage Powerplants
- Suicide Attack
[Missiles]
Missiles are not to be used outside of war. Using a missile strike on another kingdom will be approved three retals. Second offenders will be approved for a KT. However, every kingdom is tasked creating missiles for use in war. A ratio of two nuclear and two fusion missiles to every one energy missile is desired. Every kingdom is required to build four to five missiles a day starting the second week of the game. This is vital to any war efforts.[Game Threads]
There will be several official game threads to promote activity in the alliance during non war times. Game threads will include but are not limited to the following:- A scavenger hunt
- A game of Werewolf
- Minigolf tournament
[Hall of Fame]
The Hall of Fame is a reward system for alliance activity. Your personal HoF can be viewed at any time by asking myself or an Officer. Three winners will be decided on at the end of the round. The winners will receive any of the following:- A premium account paid for by myself.
- Any item that can be bought online under ten US dollars.
- A personal autograph from myself. (lol)
Winner number two will be the person with the most accumulated HoF points during war.
Winner number three will be decided by the sector with the most accumulated HoF points.
HoF points are separated into two categories and will be awarded for the following:
[Non War Time]
- Completed Retal - 10 points
- Posting a Spy report in the proper thread - 1 point
- Posting a Spy report of a kingdom in Top 20 - 2 points

Comments
These days in SK though, I doubt you'll need it.
If you want another one, I highly recommend the Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Flame_of_Queen_Loana
For example, first second and third hits should be worth more than normal grabs later on, because those first breakers always die so there is a lot more risk involved.
That has always been the trouble with hof
I feel like that promotes people working together to get hof, more than each individually going for the most hof.
For example, if only the guys breaking are getting the extended hof, those big fails that come right before the first break will be hesitant. They'd rather wait and get second or third break. However, if everyone gets double hof if he's broken three times in the next two ticks. They'll be more willing to "Hey I'll fail so you can grab". Ya digg?
Zing!
bunch of scrubs
Merry X mas all btw
Im naming my kd after an Egyptian god be kinda cool to have an alliance name that goes with it. :-)
