Sure thing.
1. We our 14 members atm.
2. All of our members are ascended and most of the alliance is LG+1 or better.
3. We are not in any wars currently.
4. Hard to say without having you be with us for a while. I generally like to feel out the members to see what they are good at and what their playing style is.
As for protection, we do protect our own and generally try to solve problems diplomatically but we have been in several conflicts when things could not be resolved. We do not protect inactive players or players that refuse to take necessary steps to limit activity against their account.
Any other questions can be answered by our alliance at our forums...
