This document explains how Alpha Points are awarded and blocked based on tribe memberships across servers in a cluster.
If two players share the same HOME TRIBE (highest power tribe), they are considered allies and cannot earn points from each other.
Your "home tribe" is whichever tribe you belong to that has the highest power in the cluster. Only active members (seen in last 24 hours) are considered.
TIP: Use
.conflicts <tribe name>to check if raiding a tribe will earn points before you start!
All PvP and raid information comes from parsing tribelogs. The data available determines what checks we can perform.
We check if both players have the same home tribe.
Points: Full points transferred (zero-sum)
Example tribelog:
Tribemember Lyinaro - Lvl 75 was killed by Chabelo - Lvl 74 (Chabelo's Army)!
When a tame kills a player, we award 20% of normal PvP points.
Points: 20% of what a direct kill would be, transferred from victim's home tribe to attacker's tribe
Example tribelog:
Tribemember Verahalvanna - Lvl 67 was killed by Pteranodon - Lvl 218 (Pteranodon) (Tribe of Sr Isaac)!
When your tame dies, no Alpha Points are transferred. This prevents tame farming exploits.
Points: None
We check if any active member of both tribes share the same home tribe.
Points: Transferred hourly via batch processing
Example tribelog:
C4 Charge (Tribe of Nick) destroyed your 'Heavy Auto Turret'!
| Tribe | Members | Power |
|---|---|---|
| SNF | bob, jane, max | 10k |
| Ruckus | dug, bret | 4k |
| Solo Steve | steve | 800 |
| Tribe | Members | Power |
|---|---|---|
| SNF | bob, bret | 15k |
| Barker | jane, max | 11k |
| Leeto | dug | 3k |
| Tribe | Members | Power |
|---|---|---|
| The Boys | bob, jane, dug, bret, max | 20k |
Based on highest power across all servers:
| Player | Home Tribe | Home Power |
|---|---|---|
| bob | The Boys (Rag) | 20k |
| jane | The Boys (Rag) | 20k |
| max | The Boys (Rag) | 20k |
| dug | The Boys (Rag) | 20k |
| bret | The Boys (Rag) | 20k |
| steve | Solo Steve (Center) | 800 |
Key Insight: Despite having different tribes on Center and Island, bob/jane/max/dug/bret ALL share the same home tribe (The Boys). Only steve is truly independent.
bob (SNF/Center) kills bret (Ruckus/Center)
Result: BLOCKED ❌
jane (SNF/Center) kills steve (Solo Steve/Center)
Result: ALLOWED ✅
jane (SNF/Center) kills dug (Ruckus/Center)
Result: BLOCKED ❌
steve (Solo Steve/Center) kills max (SNF/Center)
Result: ALLOWED ✅
SNF (Center) raids Ruckus (Center)
Result: BLOCKED ❌
All active members of both tribes share The Boys as their home tribe:
Solo Steve (Center) raids Ruckus (Center)
Result: ALLOWED ✅
Steve's home tribe (Solo Steve) is different from dug/bret's home tribe (The Boys).
Hypothetical: Steve joins "The Boys" on Ragnarok.
Now steve's home tribe = The Boys (20k power), not Solo Steve (800 power).
Solo Steve raids SNF → BLOCKED ❌
Even though steve is raiding from Solo Steve tribe on Center, his HOME tribe is now The Boys, same as SNF's members.
| Check Type | What's Checked |
|---|---|
| PvP Kill | Do killer and victim share the same HOME tribe? |
| Tame Kill | Does attacker tribe's home overlap with victim's home tribe? (20% points) |
| Raid | Do any ACTIVE members of both tribes share the same HOME tribe? |
Remember:
.conflicts and .myalliances to check before raiding!
