You've Now Entered "The Twilight Zone!"

Madmaz2 Holmer formed the 10th Guild today at 11:23 am.
Madmaz2's Guild is called, "The Twilight Zone" and is a Second Generation ascension from the Alliance of Hera (Hera being the only First Generation) and takes a Top 10 ranking from the start.

I asked Madmaz2 if he had anything to tell the blog upon his ascension, he said he was too shy and that I should since I was his superior. Which is true, but I was only in that position for about an hour before his ascension. So Best wishes to Mad and his line, you were the best line one could ever have for an hour!

Ship Capacities, Metals and Jumping to Another Guild

An issue concerning what happens to your gained ship capacities, titles and metals when you leave one Guild and join another came to light. Ultra responded kindly in the TE Directors Chat last night with the following to clarify.

Ultralite Soleil: Ship capacity is now totally separate from which guild you are in. If you leave a guild, your titles and medals do not come with you, but your increased ship capacity does. However, little known fact: if you return to the guild, your medal(s) automatically return to you (but not the title.) You cannot change title after third medal within one guild. If you change to a new guild you can get a new set of three medals. Of course the ship capacity does not get increased repeatedly. Essentially ship capacity is taken from the highest medal you've received in ANY guild. There is (currently) no inherent value of medals, except for bragging rights --- BUT, the level of medal received in a guild determines eligibility for further medals, ship endowments, and capacity increases (unless already maxed via a different guildleader)

Thank you Ultra for allowing me to quote your response.

Amadeuss Rosca: GuildLeader 9

The announcement, hot from the HUDs, speaks for itself:


This, on the heels of Buckaroo Mu's founding of a guild, leads to speculation as to how many more may be coming in the relatively near future? Though it seems unlikely Guilds will ever become as common as kingdoms, we may see more than the first handful we have now...

Buckaroo Mu Becomes 8th Guild Leader!

Congratulations Buckaroo Mu!

After a long dry spell the eighth Guild in the Tiny Empires 3000 Universe is formed.
Late evening on August 22, 2009, Buckaroo Mu took the final steps to form his new Guild, The Guild will be know as "Mu Trade Federation." Buckaroo ascended from the Alliance of Serenity.

[22:19] Alamiga Anatine: Any words of wisdom, comments about forming a Guild you'd like to tell the world?
[22:19] Buckaroo Mu: Personal ships get EXPENSIVE!
[22:21] Buckaroo Mu: I have the most kick-ass downline in the game. I seriously am doing this for them - a place that's a home, away from drama and in-fighting.

Presently no complete rank information is available, but check the standing page in near future.
