The current situation:

Currently is impossible to know what was the past nation alliance affiliation unless checking a foreign aid or war screen for past transactions or wars.

The problem with the current situation:

It doesn't allow others players to know what was the past AA of a nation who joined a new alliance, this is a problem in cases like NSO-Kaskus war where some nations are joining Kaskus to fight, example: It's impossible to know from what alliances this guy came from, well I know he is probably from NEW because his nation name, but otherwise it would be (almost) impossible to discover.

My suggestion:

It's a really simple change, just make a historic of the last 3 or 5 nation alliances affiliations.

I don't see why not to support this so I do

This is a good idea, I'd like to see it implemented

Just my 2 cents, what's to stop these nations from jumping ship to 3-5 alliances to get around their history being listed? The only way for this to be successfully implemented is to have alliance managers edit member status like we do in TE so that you don't see their "pending" membership history.

However, it would take the fun out of ghostbusting.

Well thought, in this case Admin should add a limit of AA changes per day, may be 1 or 3.

I actually oppose this. Being able to hide your past has fairly few uses (especially if you are at all high profile) but all of them add to gameplay. Allowing forms of asymmetric warfare or even allowing people to lie about past alliances of the OWF creates interest and intrigue.

Agreed. Keeping "Politics" out of game mechanics is for the best, and why not let people wander freely? Have only the players scrutinise them, rather than the system complain because they have been changing AAs a bit too much.

I've been using this http://cybernations.lyricalz.com/ for researching things like that. Not the best but better than nothing.

This is actually a really good idea, especially for those from smaller AA's that merge into big AA's like NG or Ai.
