	'''BlueTuba''' was an alliance seeped in magic and mystery, with a healthy helping of insanity. Founded in [[Round 1]], Tuba enjoyed initial success - winning the round with the official number one galaxy. However [[Round 2]] saw Tuba inflate out of control, with a huge internal bereaucracy, vastly bloated membership and an ineffectual leadership bringing the alliance to its knees when the pressure, ably provided by Legion and Fury launching an all out war, became too much to handle. The majority of the leadership at that point quickly disappeared leaving [[Vaio]] and [[Nakir]] on their own. Three independant groups then started plans to rebuild the alliance and it wasn't until they all realised their commom aim that all the pieces of the puzzle fit together.

	A small group of 'survivors', led by [[McIvan]] sifted through the ashes and began to mount what resistance they could. The round ended with Tuba utterly devestated, but with small core representing hope for the future. [[Round 3]] marked a period of significant reconstruction for Tuba, with the alliance making great strides in reorganising into a more efficient machine. Disagreements over how the alliance should proceed caused a split in the HC early in the round. Those that left would later go on to found [[Out of Order]] - Tuba carried on with reforms such as abolishing the outdated democratic structure and introducing more efficient communication and command structures, going from strength to strength under the control of [[Patrician]], [[Lokken]], [[Vaio]] and [[GaRFIELD]] (as Techie); with [[Miserableman]] joining the [[HC]] at a later time. [[QueenDax]] brought her formidable people skills to the alliance as Chief Officer. [[Round 4]] was a huge success for the alliance, creating what was arguably the finest defensive machine PA had yet seen; regularly covering all hostile incoming while aiding their embattled ally [[Fury]]. The successes of the round were marred by [[Legion]] and [[Fury]] ignoring their deep dislike of each other to unite against [[NoS]] and [[CELL]], who were headed for a clear victory. This ~~act of self serving cowardice~~ rendered the hard fought struggle that had been [[VeX]] vs [[WTF]] somewhat meaningless, and left a bad taste in Tuba HC's mouths. Sadly, this pattern of events carried into [[Round 5]], with [[CELL]] and [[NoS]], now joined by [[Xanadu]]; hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered, meaning their destruction came swiftly, plunging the 'victorious' force into a galaxy of boredom and frustration. This sorry state of play coupled with continuing technical support problems, and general command burnout - [[Patrician]], [[Vaio]] and [[Lokken]] decided to fold the alliance on a high, and move onto new things.

			BlueTuba was retired by HC in Round 5 mainly due to internal HC conflicts. The alliance split up when major players left to join [[Out of Order]] and other major alliances. Effort was made by surviving BlueTuba members to keep/ressurect the alliance in later rounds but with no luck.

[[Round 3]] marked a period of significant reconstruction for Tuba, with the alliance making great strides in reorganising into a more efficient machine. Disagreements over how the alliance should proceed caused a split in the HC early in the round. Those that left would later go on to found [[Out of Order]] - Tuba carried on with reforms such as abolishing the outdated democratic structure and introducing more efficient communication and command structures, going from strength to strength under the control of [[Patrician]], [[Lokken]], [[Vaio]]; with [[Miserableman]] joining the [[HC]] at a later time. [[QueenDax]] brought her formidable people skills to the alliance as Chief Officer. [[Round 4]] was a huge success for the alliance, creating what was arguably the finest defensive machine PA had yet seen; regularly covering all hostile incoming while aiding their embattled ally [[Fury]]. The successes of the round were marred by [[Legion]] and [[Fury]] ignoring their deep dislike of each other to unite against [[NoS]] and [[CELL]], who were headed for a clear victory. This act of self serving cowardice rendered the hard fought struggle that had been [[VeX]] vs [[WTF]] somewhat meaningless, and left a bad taste in Tuba HC's mouths. Sadly, this pattern of events carried into [[Round 5]], with [[CELL]] and [[NoS]], now joined by [[Xanadu]]; hopelessly outgunned and outnumbered, meaning their destruction came swiftly, plunging the 'victorious' force into a galaxy of boredom and frustration. This sorry state of play coupled with continuing technical support problems, and general command burnout - [[Patrician]] and [[Lokken]] decided to fold the alliance on a high, and move onto new things.

The Tuba community was prized above all else, as was seen by the large influx of Tuba forming the bulk of the initial core of [[Deus Ex Machina]], and the continuing activity in #bluetubas today.
