Another thought, if you are planning an alliance with a goal of 0.0 sec sov, perhaps not make it exclusivly an "angel" alliance. This would allow you to admit corps that arent strictly angel RP corps. More loyal people in 0.0 sec the better?

Just because you are an angel, doesnt exclude you from working together with other factions, and by not tauting it as an "angel" alliance from the begining, and by activly seeking to form ties with corps with similar views, you might be able to attract a good number of RP individuals/corps to the alliance.

On a side note, it does seem that once an individual/corp has alligned itself with a faction they dont really work with other factions. Seems strange, because even if your outlook isnt 100% alligned, everyone needs allies and if there needs to be comprimises wouldnt it be worth it?

Well, working with other factions (especially factions your "parent" faction doesn't get along with so well) tends to result in Controversy. That's not to say that it's a bad idea, necessarily, but it does result in people going "Grrr" and "Argh" at you on the forums and trying to undercut your credibility.

Gathering roleplayers before you declare loyalty to a particular faction has a way of causing half your team to jump ship, unless you're a truly first-rate consensus-builder. People whose characters care about things will tend to gravitate to a cause (and characters oriented towards RP tend to have things they care about); you get a lot of flexibility with people whose primary goal is to blow stuff up, but perhaps rather less loyalty and people like that seem to get impatient if roleplay starts "getting in the way."

Personally, I'd suggest starting small, being open about your allegiances, going for serious roleplayers, and trying to corrupt any "empire" roleplayers who happen to strike your fancy.

You don't have to wait for Angel roleplayers to start spontaneously appearing out of the woodwork when you can create them. Most Eve players who don't have an active moral horror of piracy are susceptible to the above.

*I* certainly was.
