Actually, only one gate city is being fought over.  The rest apeer to be
fairly peaceful.  They are all fairly dominated by large alliances.  I
don't agree however, that you probably need to Gate out as soon as
possible.  Most alliances would be glad to have a new faction in thier
ranks.  I know for sure that GALE, the first, and largest of the
Super-Alliances, (an alliance made up of alliances), is always looking for
new factions.  You could either join as an independant, (thereby assuring
yourself a place on the consul), or you could join one of the alliances in
GALE, (such as COBRA).

If you need any contacts, just e-mail me.  I can let you know who to get
ahold of...

And that is the biggest problem.  You would NOT have enough time to portal
back out before that faction would have a chance to destroy you, (and your
only mage).

Yes, good luck.  There is still much unoccupied land out there.  You will
find, though, that you need help developing it...

See Ya in A3!
