# JMX / tSG Merge Negotiation

## Background

JMX and tSG will merge. It is a strategic decision to do so that both alliance leaderships made. Both alliances will benefit from the merge. After that we will have a strong rank 3 in alliance ranking and we will be part of the state presidency. The merge will significantly strengthen us.

For the alliances, this means that approximately half of each alliance will be able to move into the new main allianc. JMX and tSG agree that we won't drop the other half of our members. All members who aren't select into the main alliance have the option to join our academy alliance. These members remain NAP protected and they have the chance to safely grow and make it to a power level that allows promotion into the main alliance. Target is to even have the academy alliance within top 17.

## Timeline

Start of negotiations: 
Monday December 4th 

## Values

The following values shall be base of our acting. Values are ordered in descending importance.

1. Protect our members
1. Protect the State
1. Fun to develop and grow

## Rules

* **Respect NAP 17**
NAP ensures safe grow for our alliance without bothering with other top alliances. Our credibility is strongly related on how we appear to other alliances. We have to be an example for keeping the rules. Breaks therefore should be handled consequently.
</br>First fail: warn and demote to R1
Second fail: kick & burn

* **Never zero anyone**
Zeroing causes players to loose motivation and to quit this state. This reduces availability of ressources to us. So zeroing should only happen in rare cases when alliance leadership explicitly approves zeroing in alliance chat.
</br>First fail: warn and demote to R1
Second fail: kick & burn

* **Stop attacking when target is 50% or below**
To avoid accidential zeroing, attack of a target should stop as soon as it reaches 50% or below.
</br>Fail: R4/5 decides about consequences

* **Obey orders**
With a hundred high power players, we have a special responsibility for the state. This responsibility is taken by all members and controled by alliance leadership (R4/R5). Orders of alliance leadership have to be followed in any case
</br>Fail: R4/5 decides about consequences

* **Be reachable (especially during attacks)**
When online (especially when attacking), a member must be reachable for important information of alliance leadership. It might always appear that for whatever reason actions on short notice are required (for example a stop of attack). Everyone has to make sure to listen to alliance chat and in-game mails.
</br>Fail: R4/5 decides about consequences

## Main alliance

To keep tech and donation points, we keep both alliances and move commanders accordingly.
One alliance gets the main alliance, one the academy.

### Main alliance name

Proposals:

* (JMX) Jaegermeister
* (tSG) The State Guardians
* **(Inc) The Incredibles** <-- chosen by leader voting

New alliance name: (Inc) The Incredibles

### Main alliance leadership

R5: Dark and Razor alternating weekly.

R4 Positions in main alliance.

Members who are interested in an alliance position, please add their names next to the position. Multiple votes allowed. A Number behind player name indicates priority. 1 = first choice, 2 = second choice, ...

-----

Example:
* Guardian (Mickey 1, A.Einstein 1)
* Recruiter (Mickey 2)

-----

* **Guardian** (Miley)
 The guardian is the defender of the alliance. He cares that treats from outside are handled.
* **Recruiter** (Zebra97)
 The recruiters focus is on finding and recruiting new members for the main alliance. He actively gets in touch with potential strong members (found on the map or in ranking pages) and motivates them to join us.
* **Overseer** (night-king, Ayush1369)
 The overseer enforces the rules. Handling of NAP breaks as well as handling fails against our alliance rules is his field of work. 
* **Diplomat** (Dark / Razor when not R5)
The diplomates keep up connections to other alliances. They motivate smaller alliances to join us and negotiate with other alliances to our advantage
* **Shop maintainer** (Eddie Cage)
 The shop maintainer keeps the shop running. He/she observes what is bought by  members and refills the shop so that items do not run out of availability. He informs members about the powers of his articles and pushes members to donate to keep the shop running and well filled.
* **Trainer** (Menodora?)
 While training  to raise power and level was formerly part of the observers and recruiters job, this now is a separate position. The trainer helps members to keep on leveling up and training troops. He is responsible to raise our alliances power in the alliance  power ranking.
* **Cartographer** ()
 The cartographer maintains a list of "points of interest". The whole alliance provides him/her with information and coordinates. The cartographer maintains a publicly available / searchable list of those locations.
* **Event manager** ()
 Event manager has information about upcoming events and instructs members to best make use of the events. He helps to win purple and golden boxes by preparing the members on what comes next in the events

JMX: Oreko, Killerwurm, Versace

### Information to members (ToDo 1.1 / 1.2)

⚡Attention⚡
Today at 20:00 UTC, the merge will happen 😃💪 After the merge we are all 👉(Inc) The Incredibles👈. 
<span>--------------</span>
Because of higher tech development state, JMX will be renamed to "(Inc) The Incredibles". Some members will be kicked from tSG and invited to (Inc) main alliance. tSG will be renamed to (Inc) The Incredibles Academy 01. Some members will be kicked from JMX and invited to (Inc) academy. This is nothing bad. It is just part of reorganizing. Noone will be dropped from (Inc). Everyone will be either Main or Academy at the end.
<span>--------------</span>
What do you have to do?
If not kicked: nothing 👍 Wait for new members moving in and welcome them in alliance chat 🎉🎊🎇🎆♥♥♥
If kicked, you get an invitation to Main or Academy. Accept that 🔥 ASAP 🔥 because you are not protected as long as you are without an alliance. As soon as you arrived in new alliance, go to alliance chat and meet the new family 🙂👍
<span>--------------</span>
Together we will be even more powerful and together we will make the best out of this state!
Looking forward to have fun with you all.
Your new R5 team:
Dark and Razor 😃👋

### Announcement on discord and state chat (ToDo 1.3 / 1.4)

JMX and tSG decided to merge. This merge will be executed at 20:00 UTC. From that point we are (Inc) The Incredibles. It will take until the members reach their target alliances as we decided to move members instead of using the merge function. During that time, we will protect our members - even if they are without an alliance for that move. Please respect that and don't attack our moving members.

### Alliance renaming (ToDo 2)

JMX main => (Inc) The Incredibles
tSG main => (Inc) The Incredibles Academy 01
JMX academy => (Inc) The Incredibles Farm 01
tSG academy => (Inc) The Incredibles Farm 02
JMX farm => (Inc) The Incredibles Farm 03
