haha wow, you guys are a pretty weak alliance for 12 members. But I wouldn't let them scare you. Just go around and meet new alliances, find a larger one that will offer a protectorate for you. That way if you get some a-holes trying to force a merger on you, you have a larger group watchin' over you.
Looks like a lot of the people in your alliance are new to the game. Living for the day, Working for tomorrow. Taking life as it comes and making it what I want.
