This is great, even though the low-res explosion texture kills it a bit

Free Allegiance homepage
Allegiance Wiki <---both of these links are already there
MastaMetz's Blog <- I see no reason why this is required.

I'm not IB.

Trust me, you want those links in there a couple of times. Yes, any photo that is simple but shows the game experience will work.

Congratulations. Well done guys.

Are we still discussing the changes? Or we going to go ahead and update our CNET posting?

Okay then, amateur-hour it is.

----------------

This is where spacecraft flight simulation, economic management and teamwork come together. This cult-classic has challenged and entertained some of the best online gamers for over a decade. This is the best free game you've never heard of.

This is Allegiance.

Allegiance's real-time play offers a dynamic multiplayer experience:
Intense interstellar combatVersatile games dependent on alien races and technological pathsTeam-dependent triumph and defeat
Each game, teams are led by a single commander who makes tactical decisions and invests in technology and bases. Meanwhile, players pilot spacecraft (from small one-man vessels to large capital ships), as a team trying to gain victory through various means, such as destroying or capturing all enemy bases, or eliminating the enemy's will to fight.

Initially developed by Microsoft, the game was later released under a shared source license in 2004 and is now maintained and developed by volunteers. The volunteers make up only a fraction of a long-time online community of pilots.

Can you out-duel other players in a real time spacecraft shootout?

Can you work as a member of a team in a rapidly changing environment?

Can you one day organize a group of pilots around your strategy to wipe the other team off the map?

If so, join Allegiance. It's free.

Yes, three links to the homepage. We have to get these people to the site -- clicks = downloads... to a certain extent. I'm willing to concede that maybe one of the links at the bottom shouldn't be there. But it would be nasty if you included it.

I asked if you had the ability to edit formatting (bold, italics, etc.). If it reads HTML-only, I can supply you with that.

Also, I'd suggest using this photo (it provides a better snapshot of the game's experience):

Raum have you seen this post? The community has spoken.

why on earth is the link to Mastametz's blog still in there? Please remove, before someone accidentally posts the link.
