This was a social experiment?
Anyway, the truth is that I had a "money for trade" treaty with someone from \m/, but another of their members attacked me after my defenses were weakened by a raider. The raider promised to pay reps, and was quite friendly, but this was after \m/ wiped me, so I refused and allowed him to keep his games.
Messing with CIS IA has to do with me leaving and my allies destroying each other in confusion. I had used a certain site for my forums, and gotten premium plan for only one month (I pay and get certain features). This allowed the forums to serve like a CN client and you could browse CN and the forums at the same time to keep updated with both, as well as your own FA. All this broke down and the forums are back to normal, so we don't have the features I put in, so getting used to my features, the members are now confused.
Features included IRC, Game Tools (Featured in CN; the resource and military calculator tools), and links to other forums without leaving ours or opening another tab (unless you're using IRC in one tab and doing browsing in another).
We also have blogs and stuff and allow other members to post their creative news about their nation and stuff they want to share or suggest in the alliance. It really serves like a newspaper, but the other stuff broke down. Check it out though... and feel free to feed us on this 'social experiment.'
