Order of the Alliance

Resolve - steadfastness to ones allies and refusal to abandon the effort. These traits mark the Knight of the Alliance through the shifting allegences of the game. Although the allies may change, the Diplomats resolve remains constant.

Survivals are not given to anyone... For DC purposes, Survival is merely a descriptive result which indicates someone lost a game but was still in control of at least one supply center. i.e. they either lost to a solo or conceded a draw not including them. This is compared to eliminated, in which one was actually eliminated and had no impact on the ending of the game. I don't think anyone plays to survive. That's like playing chess to be checkmated but still have some pieces left. It's still a loss and is treated as such. The two different loss results are there so when you look at your stats, you can see in how many games you lost by elimination and how many games you lost while still active. It's an interesting stat but not much more than that.

It is ridiculous how much folks value survival let alone draws. The fact survivals are given even if solo occurs just means there should be more solos as less reason to stop them. Calhamer would be furious (met him a time or 2 back in Mass). Been running games for 40 yrs (as wargaming largely died out) & that's the way the game has gone. You've gotten more folks with less knowledge/feel for history/realism so more & more just a way to pass time for them.
