  1. This is, hands, down, the best thread the OWF has seen in a long time.  Each of Dajobo's points are viable, apart from the war chests, which nobody would be willing to get rid of.  I personally would be willing to help compile a list of alliance descriptions as he pointed out.

     

    I might have missed the reasoning, but why can't two plus nations on the same IP not play the game if they do not aid, trade, war, not in same alliance etc.  or interact with each other in any way?  

  2.  

     

    I don't think micros are killing the game, but if people that wanted to play the game an interesting way put the time into building alliances with the muscle to change it, it'd be better for everyone.

     

    The trend I dislike that I see in several micros(major alliances too, for that matter) is that they stop trying. They aren't building their nations and their membership to sustain doing interesting things. Alliances should WANT to pack a helluva wallop, no matter how small their goals are when they throw their punches. If alliances aren't turning their nations into killing machines and then using them to kill, they're part of the pervasive trend towards boringness here.

     

    Every major alliance is trying to turn their members into killing machines, but the pervasive trend you mentioned here continues.  All that effort goes into fighting another alliance most of your members don't even hate for 2-3 months.   

     

    I thought the RS-Guinness war had great potential for drama until the Guinness/NSF side fell apart a day in.

  3. Reading that out-of-context [ie. outside the fact his name is Genius], sounds absolutely oozing with sarcasm lol

     

     

    Hm yeah I didn't notice that until just now haha.

     

    It wasn't mean to be sarcastic though, just so you know GeniusInc. :)

  4. No starfox, if you nuked NPO, you were expelled. Perhaps you were, I hardly remember since you played almost no role in the alliance to speak of. You might have been told you were going to be PZI, but the rest of us were given no such indication. Unlike yourself, this was the first time I had ever stood against NPO and I had every reason to expect from a noob standpoint that NPO would not be a complete dick afterwards.

     

    Given their actions to almost every other non-allied alliance at the time, that was a pretty stupid expectation to have.

  5. Yeah, but the fact that it won by such a narrow margin shows it shouldn't have disbanded. GATO faced just as strict, if not stricter terms, and came out fine today.

     

     

    I can't remember exactly what the margin was.  AFAIK the IAA had no rules as to how much majority a decision needed to pass.  

     

    GATO fell under viceroyship for a year, and would have remained for longer if not for the Karma War.

  6. IAA died for a reason and I'm finding it increasingly difficult to think that it wasn't solely Tywin's fault.

     

     

    IAA was a great alliance with an even great greater, close-knit community, and the only reason it died was due to its MDP with GATO, and the fact that NPO wished to kill two birds with one stone in that war.

     

    Tywin:  No worries mate.  I don't wish to get involved in your feud with Starfox right now since I like and respect both of you.  I only wish to give facts wherever I remember them (which is few now, unfortunately).

  7. Why leave?  Would it not take just a tiny bit more effort to join, say GPA, then pay bills and collect taxes once a week?

     

    If you feel the need to come back then at least your nation will still be there.  It's always a shame to see old players leave.

  8. In response to the people saying that CyberNations needs a larger player base;  I've noticed over the past two months or so that the steady haemorrhaging of players has stopped lately and the number of players seems to be staying about the same or even increasing.  Whether this is due to the new rules or to more new players staying on, I don't know.

     

    As to Saxplayer's suggestion, maybe if all those little 10-20 member micro-alliances merged, they could become a contender as a larger alliance?  

  9. Maybe it's because nothing interesting happens anymore.  Maybe because global wars are once a year, 3 month long trench-warfare style grudge matches that only end when one side's warchests become depleted.  Maybe literally nothing interesting happens between those wars apart from everyone rebuilding their tech levels and warchests.
