Weighted Alliance Score

Current Situation: The scoring system, while accurately portraying the physical strength of an alliance, it does not capture the things that the game goes not measure such as the virtue of its members, events in the game, etc.

Solution: Create a bidding system where people invest in alliances. Investing weighs an alliance's score thereby more accurately measuring it's status. For instance we have GPA and TOOL, their scores are about equal at the moment, but given that GPA is a neutral alliance it is less likely to win a war against TOOL. I would probably invest in TOOL and that would weigh their score.

You can invest a maximum of $10,000,000 per bid slot. There are three bid slots available with the possibility of new improvements to increase this amount. You invest in an alliance with the hope more people will bid in an alliance. When a person bids after you, the money you have invested increases by 1%. If you have $100 invested, after one person invests you have $101. If you have $10,000,000 after one person invests you earn $100,000. On the flip side every pulled investment costs you 2%. If you have $10,000,000 invested and someone pulls out you lose $200,000 in possible income. Once you are content with the earnings you have made, you may pull out. There is a three day waiting period however between you confirming the withdrawal and you earning the money. The money you earn is based on the strength of the market when the money is earned, not when you filed for the withdrawal. This is designed to encourage some planning before you make a withdrawal.

Over the course of a single day for sanctioned alliances. If shares drop by 25%, then the ability to buy and sell stops for the rest of the day for that alliance.

That is the basic idea, investment weighs an alliance's score. In fact there aught to be the current unweighted score alongside the new weighted score which incorporates all the investments of players. That way we have two measurements.

Would you gain anything from investment? Or are we talking about simple votes?

I've been thinking about that, and I think maybe it aught to be votes. Although I don't know how it could affect the economy in a sound and productive manner. So for now it is simply votes.
