shahman Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) We've had many new (an unnecessary) alliances popping up during the summer. What to do with them? Well,I've had this idea bouncing around my head for a short while. I have now decided I want to show my idea to the general CN community. DoW these mini alliances, and cause disbandment. EDIT: this is an OOC forum, this does not reflect on what I want Polaris to do in any way or form! Edited August 2, 2009 by shahman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargun II Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 How about we just let the alliances play the game? If they want to join an alliance that isn't yours, why stop them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proxian Empire Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 What the hell kind of topic is this? The Liquor Cabinet is a new, small alliance as well. Does this make us unnecessary? It seems to me like you were just desperate to make a topic to gain some attention. If anything is 'unnecessary' it is this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believland Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 I think that this is a grea... no not really this is a terrible idea. Let them run their course and stop complaining. They'll merge and disband it's not like they'll stick around forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of these new alliances have friends that might take exception to an attack. I'm sure that Polaris isn't interested in being embroiled in another mass conflict so soon and if you chose to leave Polaris prior to your engagement you would certainly be signing a death warrant. As I'm sure that the government of Polaris would not sanction your suggestion and any rogue action on these new alliances would certainly not change anything - in fact it might end up STRENGTHENING whichever alliance you chose to attack - I would recommend that you research a different solution.

Litha Riddle Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 These new alliances make things interesting. So what if they don't want to join an already established alliance, its up to them how they want to play. And if they bring their friends to come play with them, it means more growth for the game.

Farore Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Like many said, new alliances isn't unnecessary. Actually new alliances are good for the game, some might bring in new ideas and conflicts and this game would be boring if we always chose the same big alliances to join and the ones that aren't meant to be will dissapear on their own.

Penguin Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 The number of alliances has remained constant at about 200 since Admin added the Display All Alliances tab. Any noticeable increase in the rate of alliance formation is either in your head or coupled with a shortened expected survival rate; probably a little of both. Regardless, seeing as the number of alliances has held steady since a year ago, I really don't see why this is an issue that someone has to "solve".

Kung Fu Geeks Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Im sorry, its the other way around. All these large and established alliances are causing stagnation, how about all us smaller newer alliances form a coalition with the goal of forcing these alliances to split into many mini alliances. WE CAN DO IT!!! </sarcasm> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Display All Alliances' tab only displays alliances with 20 or more members. As an example, House Atreides actually has the Nation Strength to place at #183. However we only have 8 members, and do not display on the list. Edited August 1, 2009 by Vanadrin Failing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 The 'Display All Alliances' tab only displays alliances with 20 or more members. House Atreides actually has the Nation Strength to jump in at #183 if that were the main criteria. Of course it isn't perfect, but it's the best estimate available.

Vanadrin Failing Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Of course it isn't perfect, but it's the best estimate available. Actually, if anything, it's MORE evidence of the tidal ebb and flow of these smaller alliances that so many of them are born, live and die without ever changing the makeup of this 'top 200' shoreline.

Salmia Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Let me ask you this, how do you think TOOL formed? How do you think IRON came about? How do you think RoK formed? How do you think any of the current alliances formed? Do you think they came out of nowhere? Look at how successful Argent is and they didn't form that long ago. I'll say this: most small alliances won't succeed, true. They'll end up disbanding or merging into other alliances but there are the rare ones who will go on to become something else. But don't ever forget, your alliance was small once too. Just because our alliances formed a long time ago doesn't mean other people shouldn't have a right to try their own hand at it. There are some successful ones and some not so successful ones. Some people don't like big alliances, so smaller ones are ideal to those who just want to be casual and be with friends. They have a right just as the big alliances to exist. Plus microalliances can be a break from big drama as well. Their future, their path could be one day sanctioned. It all depends on the capability of their leaders and their determination. So you might see it spitefully but they have a right to give it a try. All the large alliances today started out as a small one years ago, just because many alliances have been around for years doesn't mean that one won't succeed today. It is hard but with the right people, it can happen. So don't spit on those who wish to try their own hand for they may one day be among those who form leading alliances.
