Edit: Embarrassing as it is, I've changed my mind for now. The kindness of my alliance member in trying to help me build defenses against getting plundered has made me reconsider. For now.
I would always regret not returning the resources he sent me and it seems its impossible for me to do that if I just quit now.
Hopefully my post can be deleted and forgotten, but in the spirit of honesty I'll leave my OP below for the record.
Well, Evony looked nice but I'm afraid its not for me.
Apparently I couldn't get enough online time during my 7 days newbie protection to build up an significant defenses and now thats expired I find every time I can log in my town has been repeatedly plundered into poverty so I still can't build up defenses.
I joined an alliance, who were kind enough to send me a few resources. I turned those into defenses and put everything I could scrape together on my own into more defenses but I still get wiped out and plundered.
I couldn't find any information on how alliances work on the wiki or the FAQs, other than basic how to join & what are alliances stuff. My post on the forum seems to have vanished into the back pages too fast to be responded to so no help their.
I realize my starting point appears entirely random, so I can't begin again with a friend and choose close territories so we can work together.
I can't even pan back on the world map to see where my alliance mates are in relation to myself.
I can't even use the "restart" option off my portrait because that is "disabled".
No I don't expect sympathy. I'm just saying thanks but no thanks, listing a few of my reasons so maybe, just maybe, it'll add another drop or two to the bucket of customer opinions the developers hopefully listen to and take into account when they try to figure out why some people stay and others leave.
Kudos to those players lucky enough to have the time and good fortune to avoid the pitfalls that have put me off.
Fare thee well all.
