The Amazing Sanction Race

[Samus]

Hi Legion.

[im317]

must stay at 200, RIA wants it. also we always have some bad event right when we get close, hence why we dropped 200k NS the past 15 or so days. as a side note there tends to be a war right after we pass a million NS level so only 250k NS until the next big war.

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.

I've long since been actively protesting the 200 member threashold. It's outdated to say the least. It's a shame because it means WTF would have to be sanctioned against their will but let's face it, sanction status shouldn't be limited to having a high membership count.

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.

I would hope not! This race is far too exciting.

[Sam Winters]

Wasn't the Sanction cap lowered to 200 from 300 way back when admin still did the sanctions quarterly and manually?

[boscher]

Go GPA, wow they are doing a really good jobe.

Well, I think if WTF asked, they could stay unsanctioned. We really don't know since no one has ever wanted to be unsanctioned before.

That or they could just move enough members over to their other AA to keep them in 13th at all times.

I believe GPA tried it, but it's been something like two years since they got it, so I don't remember for sure.

IIRC, MK was actively trying to keep their numbers below 200 at one point (or was at least saying that they didn't want sanction).

Nah. We jumped up from about 160-170 to 220 from the Vanguard merge. We've made no attempt one way or another.

It used to be 300, but with declining levels of alliance membership due to formation of more alliances and the decline in total population it was changed to 200. The days of 1,000+ nation an alliance is long over.

Nope, we tried and got shot down a few months ago before creating the second AA.
