I just am taking time to remember some of the old alliances who brought good players into this world, made a lasting impact, or are just fun to reminisce about. I figured with all the arguing nowadays, it would be refreshing to just have a thread to reminisce.
First is The Dark Punishers. They existed since the beginning of the world and lasted for about a month. They collapsed due to awful leadership from donjuanas. They were often fighting against Black Rain, and the war was fairly even. TDP was much larger and had a better average, but Black Rain had better leadership, with Que Demonios as their leader. TDP produced many great players that are in this world, including manster03, rileigh01, TOVs, and BoneJumper, among many more.
Next is Red Rockets. After TDP fell apart this is where I went. RR was an alliance that was originally called Sosa, and they had existed from the beginning of the world. They became large when they merged with their pact member, JUNK. After the merger JUNK changed its name to Slap and Tickle and became a tiny academy of sorts. The leadership for this alliance was great, with iShogun coming in from Sosa and BDG2 from JUNK. I always interacted with Shogun more, but both were fabulous leaders. RR harbored many great players such as dimitra1, TOVs again, and DarkSidius.
Another alliance is Soldiers of Anarchy. They existed since the beginning of the world and were doing fairly well, even managing to get up to 4th in the world. However, Eviction Notice and Unity stepped in and annihalated them. I believe SoA was EN's first stepping stone to becoming as large as it is today. Most members from SoA left to join EN or Wargasm eventually after SoA collapsed. Some members from SoA are gumpster, minorGP, and juvecal.
Next on the list is Romanian Fighters. They lasted from the beginning of the world till about mid-May. They were brought down by Eviction Notice and No Pants Allowed both attacking them, and also, I hear, because of Vacation Mode and poor leadership. However, they produced some decent players into this world, and also the former largest player, bdf1987.
Next is Black Rain. They existed from the beginning of the world, and although they never got very large in proportion to the top alliances, they were a very good alliance that held their own for an extremely long time. They were brought down by Wargasm, and I am not exactly sure what happened though. However, they brough many good players into this world and I will forever remember them.
Now there is ATALANTE. They were a good alliance based mostly in the NW part of the world. They brought some decent players into this world and were taken down by No Pants Allowed after a lengthy run in the world. Then Dire Wolves sprang up and started to feed on the leftover cities. But they shall always be remembered.
Next is W.A.R turned Drunken Monkeys. They lasted for awhile as well. I remember W.A.R disbanded because of a stupid leader, (I forget his name) and then reformed under a much better name. They were brought down I think by combined assault of Black Rain and Wargasm, but managed to hold their own for awhile. They brought players such as Iceland, kel0sss, BigScare, into the other alliances after they collapsed.
Thracia is up next. Some may not remember them, but they were also at war with TDP. Most of their players left after a short stint of about a month, same as TDP but a few days shorter. Thracia members then formed a new alliance called Myonia Guard, who lasted for around another month. Players brought into the world by Thracia include gwantagor, grrdtrrs, unexplained74 and JazzPri.
I would also like to talk about **PirateS**. They existed since the beginning of the world as well. Forever at war with TLOL, and then Red Mist as well. They still exist, and are in the top 15, but are not large enough to be considered the same alliance they were before, at least by my standards. I shall always remember the name shuffling, when Red Mist changed their name to **PirateS*** and a guy from Pirates left to create an alliance called Red Mist so RM couldn't take their name back. Petty squabbling but funny to watch. **PirateS** brought many great players into this world and should not be forgotten.
Last I would like to speak of Red Mist themselves. Ahhh, where to start. Many thought they would win the world. Many thought they were so powerful no one could bring them down. Then much smaller EN comes in and smashes them to bits, along with No Pants Allowed and **PirateS**. I am sure there are many toehr stories as to why they fell, but I do not know them.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Most of these alliances that make the honorable mentions category existed mostly in the early stages of the game and were brought down relatively early. Some were not, but still make this category in my mind.
Misfits
Gods of Midgard
Janissaries
GaMe oVeR
SHUSH
Collectors
Hades Confederacy
W.T.F (although did not exist in beginning of the world)
If I am forgetting anyone, please let me know and I will add them.
