Drazi important about the squads (we are forming an alliance)

The there are advanced plans by Primarch and Delenn to make an alliance of all squads, it would probebly be called the [b]"Firstones Alliance"[/b].
Here's a couple of posts by Primarch on the PMF forum
[quote]I have a suggestion that I would like to run by you and all the other Squadrons.
Since it is now obvious that 'Into the Fire' is unlikely to appear within the next two to three years and as most members have (or will be getting) Freespace2, I propose that instead of waiting all ItF Squadrons should join together now and create the 'FirstOnes Alliance'.
This idea came to me when I realised that the NBE, American Fleet, PMF, Grey Hand of Fate and all the other smaller Squadrons together total nearly 100 members. With such numbers we would quickly become a major power in the Freespace2 Universe.
This Alliance would, in my opinion, also keep 'Into the Fire' alive as I have already heard rumblings about Squadrons thinking of disbanding following the news from CodeMasters that they are not picking up the game.
I would like your opinions on this, and not just from the Squadron Leaders, but each member. Without a game the Squadrons would drift apart and fragment, and this, I think, could be a very good solution to keep up morale.[/quote]
[quote]Well, the response from both the American Fleet & PMF has been quite impressive. One of my ideas went down well and you guys actually agreed on something. To firsts for the price of one...
There have already been suggestions on how to set up the Alliance and (funnily enough) I already had a rough idea when I originally posted. I will not take credit for this however, it was all Delenn's idea
For the command structure I propose that each Squadron that wishes membership in the FirstOnes Alliance should nominate/elect two members to represent their Squadron as Ambassadors. These should most probably be the commanding officer and/or executive officers plus somebody else who has a say in their Squadron hierarchy.
These Ambassadors would form the Ruling Council of the FirstOnes Alliance. The Council would then elect a President out of their number to take charge of meetings and be the voice of the Alliance etc. (the details of this and any other positions still need to be worked out).
Each Squadron would remain autonomous (to a degree) and be allowed to run their own Squadron as they see fit; however they would have to abide by any decision of the Ruling Council (i.e. If a war is declared they would have to fight on the side of the Alliance).
As I said, this is a rough idea and needs a bit of work. So if you have any suggestions speak up...[/quote]
Maybe we can put up a seprate page for this alliance on the squad section of Firstones so we prove we can stand strong together, in all kind of Space-sims.
It will also be an other proof of what this game does to fans (I mean an alliance between the PMF, NBE, American Fleet, Gray Hand of Fate, etc., did you ever think this could happen)

As I've stated this is still in the prelimenary stages of development but I am constantly working on new ideas on how this would work.
There has already been a comment raised about making this a solely Freespace 2 Alliance mainly because not every Squadron member has Freespace 2...(actually, come to think of it, I don't have it yet [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img]) This and other problems will be worked out.
What I would like at the moment is for every Squadron Commander who wants to join this Alliance to contact their members and elect/nominate to Ambassadors to represent them in the forthcoming Allaince Forum.
Also, it would be good if somebody could contact the other Squadrons (Narn, Golfers, Polaris, 7.Star etc...) We need as many members as possible.
More to come [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

I have set up a forum for discussion regarding the FirstOnes Alliance. There are already some preliminary ideas for the structure of the Alliance, which need to be commented on.
Each Squadron should send two Ambassadors there. At the moment anyone can post, but when we get everything finalised I will password the forum for Ambassadors only.

As for what games to play, I think if has multi-player options we should definately consider including it...This Alliance should become the biggest in all Genres [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/biggrin.gif[/img]
