On MCXA: I agree that mcxa shed alot of ghosts... but the active member base of mcxa was around 50-75, and alot of those that became active during the war most likely will go inactive later on... most of the alliance wont really help out after the reps are paid.
The last alliance I know of that had something like this happen, was the confederation of orgnanized nations in sept 07, the alliance was on the cusp of sanction, and has since slipped into just another AA, the con had the same thing happen twice.
Basically when TSO left MCXA, they did take all the talent, and 90% of the gov't, and over 75% of the active members.. MCXA needs to learn from alliances mistakes in this area, of how to recover.
on GGA: I dont see GGA dying off, if they are able to clean up their gov't issues they currently have.. GGA does have member issues, however alot of them are are more loyal. They can recover only if they can get back on track. GGA mostly needs to shed its old stigma and old ways of thinking to move forward...
if you had a choice of these two alliances to join and help fix up post war which one would you join, and why? and you can't say neither
