Issue #3
ro:ro:Welcomero:ro:Welcome to the 3rd issue of the so far successful Tau Telegraph. This weeks issue will be a bit shorter due to lack of time. As I am sure you will all know, Ford Prefect, my partner in time has left tau, so I decided to reach out for new staff. I am extremely pleased with the results. A couple were sadly too busy to do their article but will be helping on the next issue. I proudly present to you my new team of writers (and game makers):
Fingolfin-Writer
Apoll0911-Writer
-Achilles--Writer
Enderates-Writer
SkullyHoofd-Comic/game maker
In todays issue there will be an interview with players inside a few top alliances, an article on kicking players to protect stats, the milestones achieved this week, a comic and some games, an editors column on conquests and finally a light hearted article on players leaving to upsilon. Enjoy!
(P)(P)Top Alliances-An Inside Opinion(P)(P)
~Written by curly123
I decided to grab an interview with some top players from top alliances to see what they thought of their alliance, and what it is like in there.
Olympus Almighty
Undefined1.4
How easy was it join the alliance?
It was incredibly easy to join; I joined the alliance in the initial mass recruit of the alliance where invitations went out to absolutely everyone on the face of the planet. How else would such an excellent MRA begin?!
How would you describe the alliance?
I'd describe Olympus Almighty as a powerhouse in the making. We've got a ton of really remarkable players, and with their help, I feel confident that we'll be able to bring some of our weaker players up to the level that they'll be able to compete with anything that comes their way.
What do you think of the founder?
Hm. Our founder, firing, is a pretty good guy. Unfortunately, he's not a nerd like some of us, so he's not nearly as active as we are. Still, that's all fine and dandy, we've got plenty of people to hold the alliance high while he's not around.
Do you see this alliance going a long way?
I see Olympus Almighty going a very long way. I hope to see it through to the end of the world, win or loss (hopefully a win!), but if it doesn't work out like that I won't cry. Much.
Who do you think you could soon be at war with and how well do you see you doing?
Well, while I don't think a full war will actually break soon, I expect that quite a few alliances are at war with us simply because our guys are kicking the crap out of them. That said, the only war in our future that would even be worth mention would be against Nightmares of Elysium. I think we'd be quite successful, and I believe that such a war would do us some good; trimming the fat from our alliance and sending it to the rim.

Nightmares of Elysium
OKCAdonis
How easy was it join the alliance?
Well I was invited by their leader before the world started. I knew him from XI and he had a convincing recruiting pitch.
How would you describe the alliance?
Well led with a lot of good leaders. Sometimes its hard to have a lot of strong leader type personalities but they pull it off well.
What do you think of the founder?
He's a good player with not much of an ego and he seems like a quite level headed guy.
Do you see this alliance going a long way?
Yes. I would be shocked if it didn't.
Who do you think you could soon be at war with and how well do you see you doing?
Well thats for my leaders to decide. Me saying anything more specific could spark an international incident.

As I am sure you may have noticed there has been some recent hostility between Olympus Almighty and Nightmares of Elysium. They have both conquered 2 of each others inactives, but does this mean anything? To most alliances simply farming is an act of war, yet here are two alliances conquering each others cities, yet still no war has been declared? They are farming each other plentifully as well. However, I decided to talk to EBCkyle about the situation:
Would you agree there has been hostility between the two alliances?
Yeah the hostility started way before BP ended. I think as soon as the idea for this alliance was created there were certain members who made it their duty to let the other alliances know they were in trouble. Being as how Olympus Almighty was looked at as the MRA in the beginning, we naturally picked them out to destroy. Also being in our ocean didn't help matters
Do you see any future war occuring any time soon?
Most definitely. With two alliances this big, and with NoE being so aggressive; a war is inevitable.
How would you describe OA at this point?
They have good communication. They are working well together and they have put up a good fight thus far. I haven't seen any good attacks from them, but they put together nice defenses and have totally muted our offensive push thus far.
What would you see the outcome of this "future war" being?
The top guys of NoE are really the best of the best. Some of the top players of the top servers and to have them working together is something like watching the 1992 USA dream team. I can't see OA winning this war at all and don't know of any players they have to match with the likes of Mutzzy, OKCA, Atticus, Wansyth, etc. etc. There's just too many great players in NoE
