 +====== **__NEWS AND CURRENT EVENTS__** ======
 +6/17/2020 - Due to recent events it is clear that Bravo Fleet is no longer a simming community, nor a positive influence on the community in general and is no longer supported by the SWA at the time. If this changes for the better, this decision will be reassessed. Until then, the SWA will no longer support the actions or decisions of BF or their affiliates. All links to them have been changed to 22nd Fleet.

 ====== What is the Split World Alliance (SWA)? ====== ====== What is the Split World Alliance (SWA)? ======
 The Split World Alliance is a group of science fiction simulation games, all of whom have pledged a sisterhood to each other. These simulations share ideas with each other and lend assistance when necessary, but we are not a fleet. There is no command structure, no authority to whom the games must submit. A member simulation may be independent or part of a fleet, and membership is not limited to individual simulations. Fleets, task groups, and task forces are also welcome to join. Requirements for joining the Alliance include placing a banner link to the [[http://split-world.com/SWA/SWAindex.html|Split World Alliance homepage]] or its list of [[member_simulations|]]. This allows for shared membership and webpage traffic, as well as giving you easy access to the Split World network, through which we offer shared resources and support. In exchange for placing a banner link to Split World, we will display a banner link to your simulation on the Split World website. We can use a banner that you provide or make one for you, free of cost. We also ask that you share stories and technology ideas that your simulation uses, so that every member simulation can see your creativity and resourcefulness. The Split World Alliance is a group of science fiction simulation games, all of whom have pledged a sisterhood to each other.

-We can honestly promise you that we are not, in any way, a fleet by the common definition used in simulation and role playing circles. A fleet has a command structure and regulations by which its member simulations must abide. The Split World Alliance has no command team and no defined leader. Instead, each member simulation holds equal ranking and status. All members have a voice which carries the same weight as the voices of the Alliance's founders. Here, we share with each other freely, regardless of what it is we might be sharing. +We can honestly promise you that we are not, in any way, a fleet by the common definition used in simulation and role playing circles.

 If you see a website modification on a member simulation that really catches your eye, send out an email to the mailing list. Whoever has the file can send it to you and tell you how to apply it to your simulation. If you need help with installation, just say so! We have a few webmasters who are more than willing to help out. If you see a website modification on a member simulation that really catches your eye, send out an email to the mailing list.

 Story plots and technology used in these simulations are free for everyone to use. However, we do ask that you tell us where and how you're using it. We love to see our creations flourishing, and we especially love creating new things for everyone to enjoy. Story plots and technology used in these simulations are free for everyone to use.

 +====== Someone has to take responsibility, though ======
 +Fair enough. Then here are the three defacto positions for those that do the most work directly relating to the SWA and their relative positions. All can be contacted through the [[contact_us|Contact Us]] page either as a whole or individually.

-Nope. We're hobbyists, plain and simple. However, we are proud to support [[http://kuro-rpg.net/|Kuro-RPG]]. Kuro-chan has provided us assistance with the software that keeps the Alliance running and also makes fabulous rank pips and insignias for various types of simulations. We encourage you to look at Kuro-chan's work and use it for your simulation if you find something you like.+Nope. We're hobbyists, plain and simple.
