How The Alliance Works

(This is written from a "real-world" perspective)

It occured to me that most of you actually have no clue how all this Alliance history has actually happened. Contrary to popular belief, I DID NOT make it all up. The Alliance started as the "Yoshi Alliance", a group of people I got together at my old school in 2011 whose favourite Mario character was Yoshi. Rival Bowser and Luigi Alliances were then started up by others in my class, and that's when the basic blueprint for the way the Alliance works today began.

The Alliances moved from just being fans of stuff to "claiming" stuff, and using the fictional armies against each other in wars. This was the real world reason behind the Bowser, Luigi and Sonic wars I wrote about in Alliance: Origins. Originally I had no intention of writing any of this stuff down, that's why it's so disorganised.

Also notable is people have full control over the characters they claimed, so in Origins I had to compromise between staying in character and actually including what happened. Luigi would never declare war on Mario and Yoshi in an actual game for example, but that's what happened in the Alliance because Kallem declared war on me, so I had no choice but to include it, and try my best to fit it in with Luigi's character, which... wasn't easy to say the least.

It actually wasn't until near the end of last year, 2013, that I actually started writing information about the Alliance down, so that's 2 years of history I had to write from memory, and inevitably there are probably innaccuracies. The starting date of June/July is just an estimate, for example, and I'm not sure when exactly the Iron Man Conflict occured (I left it out of Origins because it wasn't really important to the story).

So yeah anyway the point of all this is to reiterate, THE ALLIANCE WAS NOT JUST MADE BY ME. It is basically an ongoing roleplay that involved all my friends at 2 schools, and now instead involves my friends here. Every single war that has happened so far was the result of someone other than me, as are many of the things that have happened in the Alliance. Obviously I've added in sports competitions and some original planets and characters, and a couple of plot twists, but really most of it was not me.

One thing I DID make up entirely, however, is the idea of Quilavaland (I mean the planet Quilavaland, not the country in NationStates). Apart from Quilavas, which were obviously created by GameFreak, the planet Quilavaland, my Quilava OCs, the sports and politics of Quilavaland, the geography, pretty much everything about Quilavaland was imagined by me. And it exists within the Alliance.

And I am actually planning to make a video game based on the planet Quilavaland if GameFreak lets me (not involving the Alliance though, and the planet at the centre of the story is "Quilava Land" instead of "Quilavaland", there are a few differences). I can't tell you too much about it though because I don't want anyone stealing it.

But yeah anyway, the main point of all of this, I DID NOT MAKE ALL ALLIANCE HISTORY. Yes, I founded the Alliance, and have been a major player in it, but Kallem, Jonathon, Riley/Zacharias, Griffin, Tanoa, Jared, Chloe, Jemma and everyone else who's ever been in the Alliance has had a major impact on the story, much bigger than that of me alone. I'm just the leader and the scribe, it's the other Alliance members, including those of you guys in the Alliance, who are the ones who make things happen.
