She Said She Was 18

History
SSSW18 is both focused and willed to become a major player in the months to come. SSSW18is a proud member of the White team and flourishes there, where it has found many friends.

Since the three original members (Xman08, Joemoe15, LLAMAco) decided to go mainstream back on October 8th, 2007, SSSW18 has been growing rapdily - tripling it's NS in three months! We look to build on that succees and are shooting for 1 million NS.

She Said She Was 18 (SSSW18 in game) is an up and coming white sphere alliance. SSSW18 recently signed a protectorate agreement with The Phoenix Federation. SSW18 is a very friendly alliance, constantly proving itself to be a diplomatic powerhouse.

In the June, 2008 election cycle Xman08 announced that he will no longer serve as President or a player of Cybernations. Lord Jay stepped up to the role and currently leads this growing white alliance to a better tommorow.

Entrance
One may join the alliance through a PM or, more effectively, accessing our forums. We accept many players from a wide range of attitudes. However, we patently avoid anyone in a current war, or any member of a ZI list.

Behavior
SSSW18 expects its members to behave in a way that reflects the attitudes of the whole alliance. With this said we hope everyone is treated with respect and courtesy.

War
We believe that war will come, however it can often be adverted. Most problems can be solved with diplomacy. When this fails, we offer a regimented support. If we cannot solve a problem with an alliance, then our alliance will discuss, within its framework, how to go to war.

Foreign Affairs
We believe in the sovereignty of all alliances, and we offer open embassies to those that wish.

Treaties
TPF - Protectorate VA - MDP AE - ODP
