So in less than a day we went from 16 in our alliance to 47. Of course we have always been set to minimum medals and open but never have we seen such a fast influx of new peeps. Finally got one of them to answer us saying that we were listed in the "alliances to join" screen (whatever that is or means). Guess it's time for us fairly new newbs to be teaching a bunch of really new newbs on what to do and not to do. Anyways, wish us luck, I think we're going to need it. BTW, maybe two of the newbies have a clue on what a wall is and how to use it.
