Alpha Alliance
From Astro Wars
History
Alpha Alliance was founded in Beta 3 by PsyDave(=Hammurabi), Meridian, Prfk, Mialek1, and OrSoS. Three of these original members still play with AA. The original name was "Commune of Tarazed" because Alpha Tarazed was PsyDave's home system. Then, more people joined us, and we changed our name for Alpha Alliance. In Beta 4 we lost many battles and some of the new members turned against us. The time was ripe for revolution, so PsyDave overtook the first presidency of AA as dictator. Since Beta 5 we have a Democratic Constitution and vote for our president and our bills. President PsyDave leads the AA in beta 5, 6 and 7.
- In Beta 5 AA gained its greatest victory: first place for the alliance ranking!
- Beta 7 began with a military coup that forced President Meridian from office, forcing a special election in which General Postmodern became President. Despite this, after a long and challenging war with the Space Invaders and a last-week assault from Empire Solaire, AA again achieved the alliance victory. Game victory would have been ours if not for the recurring accident of Beta 7: being one friendly siege short of destroying the largest fleet ever created in the game at that point. The same bizarre situation also occurred to AA's allies that round, Project Mayhem.
- Beta 8 was both our best...and worst beta. As planned with EE, AA created the AAEE project. AAEE dominated beta 8 until we failed only few hours before the 3 days countdown finished. In this round, we also lost our friend, LordXXX, in a car accident. That's why [XXX] replaced [AA] as the tag.
- With Beta 9 came the election of President Belf420. Under his careful guidance, 4 AA players led by noob phenom Ragna made the top 5 before they fell. Their fall brought about a declaration of war on Ionsftorm, which culminated in the IS-War, a massive intergalactic war that AA fought alongside their friends HNU, The Galactic Thugs, and The Galactic Nemos. Millions of CV were crashed and hundreds of populations burned in a very memorable war.
- In Beta 10, longtime member Prfk rose to the Presidency for the first of his two terms. Several AA players formed the Feathered Serpent Republic within AA in order to play under secret names. One of them, an AA founding member in Beta 3 and former President, suddenly resigned and has since been exiled in shame. Eventually the alliance came together and pushed 2 players (postmodern playing as tezcatlipoca and grukker playing as agentp) higher than any AA had finished previously.
- Gold 1 was a different experience for AA. OrSoS founded KNI and other members played with various alliances. An undermanned but determined AA fought a difficult war versus powerful opponents in AF, SW, and RTT for nearly the entire duration of the round. Eventually, The Galactic Nemos entered the war on AA's side and effectively ended the conflict with an epic military display. NEMO forces slaughtered AF populations, achieved several rousing victories, and conquered space deep into AF territory. Diplomats from AA, NEMO, AF, and SW met and managed to forge a historic 4-way peace treaty.
- In Gold 2, AA has re-unified with many of the members from its glory days and new blood has made it stronger than ever. This comeback of a big part of the players who go away, was a great news. This way, AA planned to try something big: win the solo ranking. AA wanted to try to log in late with their friends NEMO, to ba hidden behind the first rankers, and then go away to enter the CD well placed. This idea were good, but AA located next to KK and AuA, which are teams of heavy fighter. But the organization and the determination of the Alpha Alliance were strong, and they took system after system to these teams. Finally, postmoderm and laotse were not so bad placed in the Countdown. But AF, NIAI and NP were best placed ... So, postmoderm, who was also attacked achieved #1 with 558 points, and laotse, with his planets which were attacked by AO finished #4 with 500 points.
- For Gold 3, the team stayed the same, except some guys who left AA and talented ex-players from both RAGE and DUDE who joined. For this round AA has created two teams : XXX, the ranking team, and AA, the fighting team. So far XXX is leading the race by far, with 25 points more than the second alliance, XR. AA also has a very good performance, and despite the lack of rankers, was in top10 until its players were attacked by THE, as a retaliation to AA attack against FIR. Still leading the ranking, XXX were attacked by speed-fighter and spam fleet by the former-ES (Vip, Zob, ESB and some other) about seven days before the CD. XXX and AA made an amazing job to defend everyone of about 500 incommings against all their planets. During this time, OCB and some others guys spammed the AA news. Finally, XXX entered the CD still high in the top, and hiding his force as long as possible, even if everyone knew they were strong enought to do it! AF attacked them strongly, but lost all his fleets in this early operation, in particular against OrSoS who defeated about 100kCV with his own fleet! But the hardest was coming .. KuMKa and regor, both fast speed-fighters went with THE in a punishement operation against XR (the second team): Operation Xeno Radiations while the Former-ES were still spamming their news. But the huge fleets started coming ... Firstly VIP, then ESB and ZOB, and then other came in order to break XXX's countdown. But, one more time, the defend was really great, and only some few pop were lost (about 80 pop for the 30 fleet of 60k). XXX had only 24 hours to stay in CD and still have a huge advantage. During the lasts hours, the fleet were missing in the Alpha, and they knew that would be hard. XR who wanted a sort of revenge launched about 15 fleets of 80kCV at least ... XXX knew that was the lastest incomming they were able to counter ... They tried, but with more than 300 incommings in the 6 hours, and the EE coming with huge and fast fleet, that seemed over for them ... Finally, guys gave up the last 3h hours, sawing their average point falling as hell without being able to do anything. But it seems the community remember Ge3 as the XXX round...
-With Gold 4, and after this hard round for the whole team, and the defeat of GE3, some people wanted to leave AA for some rounds. But happily, nearly the whole BSF came in XXX, in order to only have fun. Having esay wars against NEOD, BoE and TGD, XXX didn't have the fun they wanted. SO the decision came soon, looking at the solo ranking. 5 or 6 XXX were well-placed, and it seemed that 3 were really able to win. So they would try to do it again. GregBZH was elected the guy with the most chances to win. Yey, together with KuMKa made an amazing job in order to close the nearest jumps around our three guys. KuMKa, who was designed the guy who had to organise the static defense: about 1 million of CV placed on GregBZH, and 350 000 more waiting on the nearest planets. XXX, who was too hardly criticized for his waiting during CD had nothing to lose here (some guys already killed WHF, NIAI, and a lot of solo rankers). GregBZH (Kobaal and hiram too) started idling in order to not enter the CD first. Corsario82 did it. RAGE and FFA were the next to enter the CD. Hagakure, from AF, and cassoulet, from THcO entered two days after Corsario82. Then GregBZH wake up to enter the CD, together with about 10 other guys (and one girl). Corsario82's defense killed a lot of fleets, but he fall. RAGE were hugely attacked. The last day, they were nearly other when XXX took the decision to go to finish the job if needed. The three Alpha's speeders (yey, Malice and KuMKa) were intercepted by Asmodai and fir3fox (they were all members of ITPK), but RAGE was down. But the problem was FFA, who were only a little attacked, and hadn't lost any point, and the NAP between XXX and FFA. AA who had always been a respectful and trustable team took the decision to respect his NAP. One more time, they missed their victory, whereas they were able and ready to kill Hagakure, and had relation who were planning to attack cassoulet. But be sure XXX will be strongly back !
-This Gold 5 just started, but a lot of people left XXX because of the holidays, or because they wanted changements. Some former-AA stayed, and they'll lead this team with honor and fun for a fight-round. Stay tuned !
