Pay Vanguard For Play Alliance

The Pay Vanguard For Play Alliance was the largest alliances of 2006/2007 on the Viridian Ocean. The alliance is between many flags, however the largest three and island holding Viridian flags that were in this alliance at the time the name originated are Pay for Play, Vanguard and RiddleMakers hence the name. For a list of who currently controls the islands, see Viridian island-owning flags.

Note: That the name Pay Vanguard For Play Alliance is not the name they had for themselves, but rather one which their enemies applied to them. This name was not liked by some members of this alliance as it does not acknowledge their role in the alliance. If this alliance had a name for itself they have so far not been forthcoming with it.

The name is now also outdated as Vanguard not only left the alliance but declared war on on most of their former allies.
