[New alliance haters]

I would much rather have a good number of alliances than only an elite few remaining while I can see where having only thirty alliances would lead us: die from boredom or make stuff up to get a good war going. While small alliances, nowadays, can provide for a good excuse to get that same war going, via MDP chain.

That said, most major alliances, with a few exceptions, strike me as boring and without a theme, an alignement, etc. Most of them are in it for the rankings and if you simply switched their names, I wouldn't recognize who's who.

While new alliances, nowadays, need to work on their image and make something creative to grow. Why these alliances die out is because there isn't a huge bassin of newcomers joining the game. They must attract people from established alliances without actively "looking for" them (poaching being frowned upon). If we take into account the fact that only a small minority of people use this forum, you get a very difficult situation for new alliances.

They either have to recruit from outside or pray that people notice them, to the risk of being labeled attention whores.

He means in terms of organizing: Vox members, in opposition to most resistance groups, became visible the first day. Most resistance organisations would go to great lenghts to make sure their members can't be identified, for very obvious reasons.

That said, while nobody can kill you on CN, having most of the members fly the AA was still a mistake: they could be attacked, their nation ripped apart and then be tracked. It's hardly the fault of the founders, though, if people switched to the AA en masse. They didn't actually expect it to grow and certainly not to what... 200 members at some point?

Anyway, it's off subject. This topic is an anthology of what's wrong with CN.

Next time, just do like the big boys do: pick an alliance and make up a CB. That way, you'll get massive tech raids. Evidently, you'll need more than 10 members to do that.
