This Alliance Agreement (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of [Date] (the "Effective Date"), by and among the undersigned parties (the "Members," individually a "Member"), who are players or groups of players in the video game [Video Game Name] (the "Game").
The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a formal alliance between the Members for mutual benefit within the Game. This alliance aims to foster cooperation, resource sharing, and non-aggression among the Members, while still allowing for healthy competition.
Each Member agrees not to directly attack, harass, or otherwise engage in hostile actions against any other Member's characters, territories, or assets within the Game. "Direct attack" includes, but is not limited to: player-versus-player combat, territorial conquest, sabotage, theft of resources, and deliberate disruption of gameplay.
This non-aggression pact does not extend to non-member players or groups. Members are free to engage in combat or other activities against non-members as they see fit.
This non-aggression pact does not preclude competition in designated events (see Section 3).
Members may compete against each other in designated events within the Game. These events may be officially sanctioned by the Game or mutually agreed upon by the Members.
Competition in these events is encouraged and does not constitute a violation of the non-aggression pact.
A list of agreed-upon competitive events will be maintained and updated as needed [Specify where this list will be kept, e.g., on a shared document, within a game forum, etc.].
Members agree to share certain resources according to a pre-determined schedule and method. [Specify the resources to be shared, e.g., specific in-game items, currency, crafting materials, etc.]
The schedule for resource sharing will be as follows: [Clearly outline the schedule, e.g., weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc. and the specific days/times].
The method of resource sharing will be: [Describe how the resources will be shared, e.g., through in-game trading, gifting, designated drop-off points, etc.].
Any disputes regarding resource sharing will be resolved by [Specify how disputes will be handled, e.g., a designated leader, a vote, etc.].
Members agree to maintain open communication regarding alliance activities, resource sharing, and any potential conflicts.
[Specify the primary communication platform to be used, e.g., Discord server, in-game chat, etc.].
New Members may be added to the alliance with the mutual consent of all existing Members. [Specify the voting process or requirements for adding new members].
Members may leave the alliance by providing [Number] days’ written notice to the other Members. [Specify how notice should be given, e.g., via the communication platform].
In the event a Member (the "Breaching Member") breaches this Agreement, the following remedies may be applied:
• First Offense (Minor Breach - e.g., accidental resource misallocation, minor non-aggression violation): The Breaching Member will be issued a warning and required to rectify the breach within [Number] days. Rectification may include returning resources, apologizing, or other actions as deemed appropriate by [Designated Leader/Council].
• First Offense (Major Breach - e.g., intentional attack on a Member, significant resource theft): The Breaching Member will be subject to [Specific Penalty, e.g., loss of shared resources for a period of time, demotion within the alliance hierarchy, temporary suspension from alliance events]. They will also be required to rectify the breach as outlined above.
• Second Offense (Any Breach): Regardless of the severity, a second offense will result in expulsion from the alliance.
• Expulsion: Expulsion requires a [Percentage]% vote of the non-breaching Members. Expulsion results in the Breaching Member losing all alliance privileges and benefits.
This Agreement shall remain in effect indefinitely unless terminated by mutual agreement of all Members.
[Optional: Add a specific time frame for the agreement, e.g., "This agreement shall be valid for six months from the Effective Date and may be renewed by mutual consent."].
This Agreement may be amended only by the mutual written consent of all Members.
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the Members with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Choose a jurisdiction - this is important for legal enforceability, though likely not a major concern for a game alliance].

Important Note: This is a template and should be adapted to the specific needs and rules of your game and alliance.
