Alliances, how can they help you? When joining an alliance you can either be rest assured that you will all be working together to reach the end together, or constantly checking your back for the hidden dagger.
I believe one of the strongest comparison of this game is to a game of chess. Only instead think of yourself as a single pawn out on the chessboard alone. The other 9 players pawns of the opposite side, all working against you. You must convince people to join your side, and promote people beyond the pawn. Establish a King, the sacred piece that everyone wants to go for but with little to no power. Establish the Queen, the piece that has the most power and can make moves quickly and strongly, but is still not the end of the game if lost.
Consider this, the strongest alliance, everyone is fighting on the same side, but everyone understands their position and their power. Place the pieces in place, set traps for opposing players, and make sacrifices where needed. One hopes you will never have to spring your traps or sacrifice your team. But fight tooth and nail, you will always find yourself in dilema. Hopefully your plan and your set up is better than the others.
Perhaps this wasn't a blog about alliances, as much as game strategy.
Have I confused you??...good my plan is set.
:-D

Your right
Alliances are a poisoned chalice though, as once you are known by enemies to be a member of an alliance, you become a target.
