Alright boys, someone needs to cover for me today. Thanks.

[Ironfist]

I don't know... is it really necessary to do it today?

Wasn't the *best* day...

So if MK lose 5 members, MCXA will become sanctioned? Interesting, talk about adding a whole lot of strain on the entire race.

Maybe the tier barriers and figures will have to be changed. I can't imagine everyone over 11 in score being added...

I'd love to see Gopher's program take all that into account and explode.

What's more amusing about that is the number of alliances the sanction place has to jump to find an alliance >200 members.

Also how have we never won Survivor with a streak like this?

The 200 members threshold probably needs to be adjusted if 1/3 of the alliances which have the score for Sanction don't have the members for it.
150 or even 100 would be a better figure.

If MK were to drop below 200 members, and if MCXA were to get the last sanctioned spot, 11 additional alliances would be added to the race, for 48 total. I'm pretty sure 40 alliances was the record, about a month or two ago, so 48 would be pretty remarkable.

Thanks Rota.

Not quite the way I would've imagined us getting sanctioned, though it would make the race between us, FAN, and RIA far far more exciting.

And I've already planned for such an eventuality, so don't worry, my program won't crash.

The 200 member threshold should have been removed atleast 2 years ago. Let it stay and be a reminder to how whack the system is.

I could be mistaken in my understanding, but I always assumed the 200 member limit was a way to contribute to player retention and recruitment in the overall game. I see people complaining frequently about lower numbers of players, well, if you want a sanction, go recruit some more players. I don't see any reason to remove it, in fact, I would argue for it to go higher, as opposed to lower.

[Bombebomb]

I think the 200 membership idea should stay.

A valid argument. To each his own.
