Join the official OCR CyberNations alliance, the OverClocked Alliance. Just sign up in this thread and register at our headquarters forums.

Instituting an alliance financial assistance program for new members could help this. The problem is all our current members are still too new themselves to guarantee that kind of money.

Attacking system was updated: you can now attack any nations with half (50%) to twice (200%) your nation strength.

The trade system got an overhaul yesterday. Several new bonus resources were added, and the bonuses for many existing resources were tweaked. The team trade bonuses were also revised. Now, whenever you change team colors all your previous team trade bonuses disappear.

The OverClocked Alliance is seeking the production of official regalia and emblazonry for use in banners and flags. [link]

Wow, you and I have the same government/religion combination.

Sorry. I've been busy with real life stuff. Actually, you're good with this, I'm gonna give you admin powers on the board. Don't worry, it's cool. Adminship would be helpful for housekeeping and organizational purposes. It does kind of make sense for the Foreign Relations position to come with adminship anyway. Welcome man. Go ahead and register at our off-site forums.

Okay, a new system for tracking alliance members has been implemented today. Under "Edit My Nation" there is now an option for "Alliance Affiliation." Go to "Specify Other" and enter "OCA." If you have trouble making this work, try doing it in Internet Explorer instead.

I have the same efficiency as he does. *shrug* I don't really get what's so surprising about it. Also, it appears that Aldebrant would be Cardinal Lustro, if you look at the ruler name. =P Yeah... I did the donation thing. I know Falchion said its better to do it later on when tech and infra start to cost a ton, but I decided it was equally helpful to do it at the start of the game because it propels you ahead the equivalent of several days in time.

Our alliance is not an open one, so we have not actively sought publicity yet. We are still in the process of producing insignia to self-identify. This is the most accurate way to identify the current members of OCA at this time: http://www.cybernations.net/stats_ranking_alliances.asp?Alliance=OCA Again, our headquarters is located here: http://z6.invisionfree.com/OCA_Headquarters supremespleen: Get on the ball with the first post! We need links to our HQ, our charter, our in-game roster, and instructions on how to join the OCA, stat!

The election process is complete. We have our officers: Premier: supremespleen Director of Foreign Relations: Cardinal Lustro Director of Defense: MarioRPG Director of Internal Affairs: bones_221 May they lead our humble alliance with integrity and honor! OCA HEADQUARTERS

There is less than a day left for the nominations process of the OCA elections for August. Check out HQ. There is a built-in function in the game for tracking members of alliances based on the presence of a keyword listed in their nation bio. Here is our list. In order to get on the list, you must place "OCA" somewhere in your nation bio, and it MUST have spaces around it (unless it is at the beginning or end of the bio). For example, you can't put a period directly after "OCA". Good: "Proud member of the OCA ." Bad: "Proud member of the OCA." Please make the necessary changes to your nation bio so we have easy access to an in-game list of all members.

Nope. They have to be within 500 miles to appear on your map. You can attack anyone within that ranking list, regardless of location.

Members of the OCA, it gives me great pleasure to announce the ratification of the Official Charter of the OverClocked Alliance! It is available for public scrutiny at our headquarters. Also, the August 2006 election process has officially begun. More information is available for members at HQ.

There are still several members who have not registered at our HQ forums. Effector, MarioRPG, TheWomb, DarkOmenDKA, Methiea, maybe more. We need to complete the ratification of our charter so that we can hold elections! We need a 2/3 majority and right now I think we have about 11/19... And we are of course always recruiting new members.

There is also another advantage to saving up: you accrue interest on taxes for every day you don't collect them.

Yes, it is most cost efficient to buy infrastructure in blocks of 10 (the maximum that can be bought en masse).

In the game: Follow the suggestions of your Private Nation Messages. Pay your bills. Play around with your tax rate until you get maximum profit when you go to collect taxes. Buy enough land to get your Population Per Mile under 70. Buy enough troops until it says your military is of adequate strength for your nation size. Pump whatever you have left into purchasing infrastructure to get your nation growing. Turn off peaceful nation status. Look for orange team trade partners. Read about how the game works here. Also, put that you are a member of the OCA somewhere in your nation bio (assuming you wish to become a member of our humble alliance). Out of the game: Register at the OCA headquarters. Once supremespleen masks you, you will gain access to the members-only area, where you can help us ratify a charter and organize our alliance. You also may be able to find potential trade partners in the roster thread.

Yep. A base of operations. Eventually we'll have a charter and a government structure as well. That's perfectly fine. There is no location requirement because it really doesn't impact the game other than your nation map. By the way, I am just north of portugal out in the ocean...

A proposed charter has been posted in the War Room at headquarters for discussion and ratification by members. This proposed charter has been revised in several places from the charter posted to this thread earlier (partly in response to some suggestions). Now it's time for a little celebratory vacation.

This clause prohibits us from attacking these nations without reason, it doesn't obligate us to come to their aid.

Is that better, Falchion? Nah. It just struck me as a little odd. Personally, I don't have a problem with term limits. I just wanted to get a little feedback on that part and see if it hit a nerve. It didn't. Good work. I approve of this charter. I have clarified the language in this passage in the charter so that it is better understood that it is only a limit on consecutive terms, not overall terms.

The three consecutive term limit was bones_221's proposal. It doesn't prevent someone from being elected to an office for more than three terms, they just cannot do it all in a row. I agree that it is not necessary, however. Should I change it?

Took me all afternoon, but here it is. Suggestions, compliments, and criticisms are welcome. In order to ratify this thing, we need 2/3 of our current members to vote in favor. I will post this at headquarters later this evening to initiate the ratification process, pending suggestions from everyone here in the meantime.

Should the chief officer be called "president," "prime minister," "premier," "chancellor," or something else? Right now it says "premier."
