MACTO has been around since June 11th. There's some confusion about whether my region is in it...We migrated to a new region to get a founder, and not everyone thinks we count as the old one.

are APTO and MACTO still extant? i haven't seen them around recently ...

the CACE (Coalition of Anti Capitalist Economies), on the other hand, was not only founded in March of 2003, but is still very much kicking. please, hold the applause ...

I guess it's more than just not active now, though...

Yes, APTO is alive and kicking. APTO is actually an organization with the members of the region, The Allied Powers. While the organization itself isn't too active as a whole, many members such as; Crimmond, AMF, Pantera, New Genoa, Imitora, Adejaani, me, etc... are still very active.

how does one define 'alive and kicking'?

By not taking it literally :lol:

All I men't was that we are all very active RPers and have maintained and preserved the ideas behind APTO for over one RL year.

how does one define 'alive and kicking'?Having active members... active RPs... intra-alliance discussions and RPs...

Just because we aren't out advertising ourselves to the world doesn't mean we are dead.

Triumvirate of Yut - January of '03

Presumable the oldest alliances were founded by Demoness, Ravenspire, Nianacio, and Raevyn back in Nov/Dec of '02. At this point the oldest alliances are either dead or so secure in their position that they have little need to prove their position - the proverbial sleeping giants. One problem that I've noticed more and more lately is that these old alliances are not as known when they are roused due to their own secure positions and a lack of need for action. This will likely happen more and more as summer approaches so I expect to see some of these older alliances make an appearance.

Trixia; how exactly did you create it? And we are well known, have been for a year yet you've said nothing.

But the thread it links to has been purged. But it did once exist!

Presumable the oldest alliances were founded by Demoness, Ravenspire, Nianacio, and Raevyn back in Nov/Dec of '02.Not me. I was sometimes able to get on the forums at first (it was a lot worse than now), then I couldn't get on the forums at all for a few months. The whole site was even down for a week near the beginning. I had no chance to make an alliance or even RP. :cry:

NDA - Non-Democratic Alliance. Not the oldest by any stretch, but we've been active since our inception (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60132&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0)at the first week of August '03, and have what we believe to be an impressive array of members whom we're proud to be associated with.

I wouldn't call MACTO an alliance in the sense that they are looking for here. I mean, did the organization as a whole ever do much of anything? Not that I can recall.

Actually, did MACTO even intervene when Armageddon was first invaded...jeez...April or whenever that was last year? I can't remember, but if I remember right we just huddled in a makeshift region, like Armageddon mark 2 or something, and then moved back eventually.

Both the WTE (World Tehcnological Entity) and SFN (Sisgardian Fellowship of Nations) where founded in January 2003, and have been active since then. Most of the activity, however, takes place on private boards. Overall, they are both very active organizations, although they have been dormant during the last time period. This should be reversed soon, nonetheless.

I'd say ToY, GDODAD, and SFN are the 3 oldest that are still relatively active. ToY definately is, along with SFN (though they are more low key), and the GDODAD has been off and on, but I believe there are still a few left as a branch on Metus now.

Not that I can recall.It has not done anything, but it is still an alliance. I have come close to calling it in, but each time after I told my opponent about five times how strong MACTO was, he backed off. :D
Actually, did MACTO even intervene when Armageddon was first invaded...jeez...April or whenever that was last year?The region was griefed around the time of a site update...They did not have a chance to help.
I can't remember, but if I remember right we just huddled in a makeshift region, like Armageddon mark 2 or something, and then moved back eventually.We also infiltrated the invader command and called in the mods.

Just like the Illuminati. One cannot defend against an enemy that is not known of, can he?

GDODAD has never actually disbanded or broken up. It has gone into the "shadows" before, and resurfaced later, but there was always a core of active members. I beleive they joined with Metus to prevent a complete fallout of the alliance. As of now, it is still together as a subsidiary of Metus.
GDODAD never really fell. Just went silent for awhile and came back... and went silent again and came back... again...

I miss my GDODAD days...

Sorry spin-off doesn't quite do it justice. How about pathetic rip-off?

Yeah, GDODAD is still alive as a part of Metus. It is indeed one of the oldest active alliances. Others that spring to my mind:

- The Triumvirate of Yut
- CACE
- Arda

Melk didn't start until February, and it took a few weeks after that for Arda to come into play. Same with The Silver Turtle and GDODAD IIRC.

ToY started on or around Jan 12th 2003, at that time, many of the powerful (300 million :shock: ) nations were in the region of LODOSS, but I do not believe that they had any sort of formal alliance.

(I actually meant alliances consisting of nations who either crash/defend/liberate other regions rather than pacts between regions, no big deal though)

Actually, I belive the aforementioned are primarily alliances between nations for purposes of roleplay.
