Monitoring your Allies

When you are on, you should be participating in chat. You should, also, be checking the Ally Military tab. (Found in the Military Window opened from the bottom right of the screen).
By chatting and checking Ally Military it is possible to see if someone is being attacked and needs help.

PLEASE DO NOT WAIT TO BE ASKED. OFFER ASSISTANCE IN CHAT, SO EVERYONE CAN SEE THE SITUATION AND YOU CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT TOGETHER.

Saying that, be reasonable, if you can't help or to do so would be suicide, don't. Your time will come if you grow and take advice from the more senior and experienced members.

Often though it is hard to assist in time since we are all quite scattered around the map.
So if you are being attacked, feel free to shout out in alliance chat
