Phoenix Risen, or HOD, established August 25, 2011, has risen quickly to become a force to be reckoned with in the SFC Original universe. As of May 28, 2012 we are the #19 ranked alliance. We rank #23 in alliance average.

We believe, foremost, that our members and our opponents are to be respected as people and as SFC players. As is seen in the following Alliance rules, we expect our members to be civil to each other and to opponents. In return, we expect our opponents to be aggressive but civil toward us. Being human and humane toward each other is a dictum of the basic rules of (real) war. Applied to SFC, this helps retain players and ultimately increases game enjoyment for all of us.

We are fiercely protective of our Alliance members when they are attacked or messaged in a spiteful manner. Opponents who do so can expect to find themselves beset by the full resources of our Alliance.

HOD recruits players of all ranks and playing styles. We have our warlords with large fleets, and we have our master builders. We attract mature players who are serious about their game play. When given the opportunity to work under the tutelage of our senior members, even the newest players can move up quickly in game rank, develop substantial civilizations, and make valuable contributions to the Alliance and to the overall SFC playing community.

Origins

Most of the HOD officers and several other players began the new alliance following philosophical differences that arose within their previous alliance. Forming HOD provided them the opportunity to create a new alliance that valued multiple styles of play and which emphasized respect among players. Subsequent members have been attracted to HOD because of these core Alliance values.

Alliance Rules

Each member agrees to abide by the following rules:

1. No attacking fellow alliance members unless they are inactive. This includes probing.
2. Do not use the alliance as a threat towards others.
3. Be polite to not only fellow alliance members, but the community as a whole. Foul language and insubordination will not be tolerated.
4. No begging. It is ok to ask for help. That is how you learn. There are a lot of people here willing to dole out advice.
5. Learn to Fleet and resource save. If you are not in dip mode, this is just a way of life if you want to survive .
6. No bullying. This is where you attack the same active target day in and day out the max number of times, in an attempt to drive them away from the game.
7. More of a suggestion than a rule, but get out there on the forums and meet a few people. The people here are better than this game ever will be on it's own.
