         could have a list of alliance's and have a drop down box for each alliance and have the alliance leader be able to set own "status" as to what there alliance thinks of the other alliances or use a scale like the faction scale and have leader be able to slide the scale
        
        
         

        
        
         could also include a alliance status, like the recruiting or not status or a checklist that the leader could check or uncheck to help filter alliances by type and playstyle

	I would normally not be in favour of extra game mechanisms, because they restrict the sandbox principles that Illy is built on. However, a PvP stance would open up options, namely the ability to attack a player in exceptional circumstances, and to declare "I'll be a good neighbour" when the alliances have no such provision (or when any of the relevant players have no alliance). The more I think about it, the more I like it :o) It could be done by applying the same 'declarative' mechanism to Players as exists for Alliances, i.e. an individual player could set a status that overrides the alliance setting. Some notes then: An extra status for PvP would enable attacks without declaring outright war. It allows players to opt-in to internal disputes. We might also consider limiting the effectiveness of the declaration by time or locality: I see a warm-up time (maybe 1 day) as essential, and durations as optional. As with Alliance attitudes, mutuality is only required when shifting towards a more peaceful stance. Yes, this allows rebellion, but it would be visible to the alliances of those who declared or agreed a PvP stance. In tournaments, we might need a 'temporary tier' for Alliances, to enable a competitive treaty. Only the alliances themselves will see the PvP stance.
