The SVS Admirals Alliance

[Maggie13]

Calling all SVS Pirates or those desiring to be. These be troubled times with gloomy seas on the horizon . This Ezekial Rott and his breathren of Casa de Muertos have infiltrated the isles with promises of riches and fame. Yet, I feel a cold wind be blowin and darkness on the horizon. It is now time to act before it be too late. We must come together, for the future of these lands rest with the sea!

Be it be known that I am seeking hearty SVS privateers and their ships, to prepare for the future battles that almost be upon us. The SVS Admirals Alliance WILL be the one force at sea, capable of combating the coming storm. Will you join in the fight? Will you defend your SVS brothers and sisters from the evil now manifesting at the end of the world?

This Alliance, as defined, is "an association to further the common interests of its members", and "a union by relationship in qualities".

To Join the Alliance, you must have the participation of your GUILD. Individual Pirates will be taken on a case by case basis but will only be considered AFTER the confirmations of the Guilds applying.

The main goal of the ALLIANCE is macro-free fair game play that unites SVS Guilds under a common banner of trust and friendship. When we sail, it is for glory and honor. Weekly meetings and events will allow for all to practice and perfect their skills against the best SVS'ers in POTCO. I personally am looking forward to the 1,000,000 point screenshot from "Attrition", a test of stamina and ability. Other events to be arranged via Guild submission. Each guild will be responsible for creating and "running" their event for the Alliance.
Adherence to Disney's TOS at ALL TIMES is not only encouraged, but expected.

Violations of Disney's TOS will result in consequences. These can include but are not limited too: Written Warning, Suspension from the Alliance, Termination from the Alliance.
A complete list of Rules and Regulations will be formalized by the first 9 guilds GM's who join the Alliance. Each GM will be responsible for "taking the code" to their respective guilds.

Join "The SVS Admirals Alliance" and preapre for battle!

I am offering an invitation to bring your idea to The Court. Having you organizing it and running it. Think of of it as the SVS part of The Court.

[Maggie13]

I believe you misunderstand Darman Skirata. Please feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. This Alliance will in no way be connected too or run by The Breathren Court. This Alliance shall be free thinkers who relish the opportunity to test their skills against the best SVS'ers in POTCO. It will also provide them a TRUE AND REAL opportunity to come together in friendship with specialized events and activities designed by the Alliance members themselves and run by the originators of the said activity.

I applaud TBC for some of their efforts. Maybe a joint activity in the future could be arranged depending on the make-up of your "Court" as it is.

[Maggie13]

Thanks for your post and I am glad to answer any question(s) you have or might have in the future.

There is no Notoriety limit. But please do understand, that many of the Guilds that will be involved mostly sail SVS in POTCO. That is "Ship versus Ship". Spain or France. For many, it is all they do, such as myself. We find combat at sea to be more rewarding when tested against other pirates who dont turn undead. Many of these pirates will have cannon/sail lvl's of 20-30. Most will be in the 25-30 range. However, if you are willing to put the work in on lvl'ing those skills I am positive a guild will welcome you with open arms.

As far as weilding Disney's hand, Nope! They weild it when given evidence (sometimes). The things that might get anyone into trouble (seeing as most have already been in trouble, I cant think of any that haven't) would be the use of a macro or two, glitching, using a VIOP. These are all expressly forbidden by Disney and the TOS because no matter how you explain it, it's cheating. I can say with utmost sincereity, if you cheat, you are no longer welcome. This goes for anyone.

I hope this answers your questions and please feel free to respond at anytime for any reason. I'll answer back as soon as possible.

[John Silverhawk]

Thank you for explaining that Maggie.

I must ask then, given your parameters are stated as follows;

".....the use of a macro or two, glitching, using a VIOP. These are all expressly forbidden by Disney and the TOS because no matter how you explain it, it's cheating."

Although I agree that using a third party device to play the game that alters the game play and the code is cheating, like Macros that induce a action or a device or code that alters the way we play but a voip program is not a thing that plays the game nor alters it. It does not affect the game whatsoever.
I do see in Disney's TOS where it says we agree to not distribute any submissions that may violate section 7 regarding the rules of conduct. (meaning, talk about it or promote it or discuss where you can get it or get on one's VOIP program)

Can you let me know where you see that using a VOIP like Ventrilo or Skype or Team Speak is stated it is cheating?
Since your saying this is cheating, I want to clear this up so I will not receive the consequences you claimed Disney would do to me if i use a VOIP and I do not want to violate your rules in the SVS competitions.

Thanks for your help Maggie

You are right. I was inviting you to join us with your ideas. It is not my intention to take over your idea. I support your Alliance and wish it nothing but the best. The invitation was intended to bring your ideas to The Court and to show that both are trying to provide such opportunity of friendship and unity. If you ever decide to join TBC with The Alliance you will still be in charge of it it will be two groups trying to get the same objectives. Trust and friendship are the main reason why I joined TBC in the first place. I hope to hear more from you and Good Luck!

[Maggie13]

I thank you for the offer and will surely take it under advisement with my Lords and Ladies of the Realm.

[Rose Redgrin]

I think this sounds like a great idea. How would you monitor the macro-free part? What will the leadership of this Alliance consist of and how would a guild sign up if interested?

[Maggie13]

Excellent questions Rose. I will address the macro-free environment question first. All member guilds will be responsible for monitoring their members. It's only fair that you take care of your house first before even thinking of bringing dirt into someone else's. Anyone suspected of using macros, glitches, bugs, etc. will be closely monitored and if verified proof is received of such abuse, the offending party will be removed from the Alliance. A second offense from another pirate in the same guild WILL result in guild removal. I am sure most agree, we have no time or patience for cheats who violate Disney's TOS. This includes VIOP, which is expressly forbidden in the TOS.

The leadership initially will be reserved for the first Guilds to respond and accept the initial terms of the Alliance. More detailed "Alliance Codes" will be generated during the first two initial meetings of the Alliance. Thereafter, the leadership will rotate amognst the guilds GM's on a bi-monthly basis. Afterall, should not every guild have a time to lead seeing as we are all equal? It also requires each guild to initate meetings and organize events, ie: responsible for being involved and active in the Alliance. One exception to this will be the 9 Pirate Admirals. They will have the title of Admiral until it is taken from them in individual combat. This is afterall an SVS Alliance. Take what you can, give nothing back. The 9 Pirate Admirals may be challanged for said title at anytime in the thread/forum. They must accept. Only one challange per Admiral per week. The Admiral chooses the nature of combat and ship to be used. If defeated, the Admiral gives up the title to his/her foe. Any pirate may challange, but only once per week. No, you cannot challange all 9 in the same week.

Seeing as we are still in the initial planning stages, and of course seeking active guilds, all suggestions are encouraged. But I like it so far.


How To Apply
Sorry Rose for not answering that one. The most realistic and obvious idea that has come to me would be for interested Pirates to have their GM post on this thread as well as at least 5-10 guild members. This should give them an opportunity to present (introduce) themselves and their interest in the "Admirals Alliance".

Additionally, if they have any questions it will give me an opportunity to answer them prior to accepting the challange that "The SVS Admirals Alliance" presents.

Keep em coming Rose.

[Maggie13]

We are still in the planning stages, of course, but with 5 guilds on board it is looking promising. Everyday new suggestions are received and if not already stated in this thread, they will be presented here.

So keep reading and replying.

Great Idea!!

Raptor Inc. would be proud to be part of The Admirals Alliance we are commited to a fair game without cheating (glitching). I will let my guild know about this and the thread over the next few days.

The hardest part is sorting out the cheaters, some get called that when they are just good at what they do and some get called it because they are.

[Maggie13]

I am pleased to hear about you interest and will be gald to answer any questions you or your guildmates might have. They are encouraged to come and post and introduce themselves.

You are also correct regarding the "cheaters". Hence why it is extremely important that guilds be able to police themselves in those matters. At some point, maybe they will realize it's a game and will give up those things prohibited by Disney's TOS , such as macros and VIOP. We can only hope.

Hope to hear from you again real soon,

Maggie

[Davey Burnrat]

I am in and I know my guild althogh small do not use any cheats in SVS or Macros. We will help keep it clean. Davy

[Maggie13]

You are absolutly correct. However, in the meantime we will just have to police ourselves and know we have honor, unlike those who NEED a macro or four so that they can feel that they actually have some self-worth.

These are the kind of issues the Admirals Alliance hopes to not only address, but overcome. This Alliance wont be run by a puppet regime whose strings are pulled from the dark depths. The Alliance will be open with honesty, truth, and integrity at its core.
