    This is a perfect example- I understand your concept and when you look deeper what you are actually proposing is treating the syptom rather than the actual illness.

    Merging inactive alliances together to form more active alliances is not the best path.

    For example, look at SuperNova X.

    I understand planet bob is leaning towards forming "super AAs" and all that reminds me of is the local town getting a Wal-Mart- sure, it's going to feed more resources and focus more attention- and then you are back to square one where you are in wars that have been pre-fabricated.

    There is nothing wrong with mircos- I can tell you that Monsters Inc is more active than much bigger alliances I have been in.

    The same applies to the above statement. Joining bigger alliances to accomplish something that may wake inactive players up you have to again ask why it is those players went inactive in the first place.

    Pacifica is a fine example of an active alliance- I don't agree that it's the sole model AA on planet bob. For example there are many sanctioned alliances who are extremely inactive.

    Now, forgive me as my foreign affairs is subpar, however I view the world as movable spheres (not sides A and B). For example, you have the polar sphere, the doom sphere, the aztec sphere, the IRON sphere, Pacficia sphere... etc. Think of these as spheres as "super alliances" just for the sake of their entry into world wars. And look how they are playing out at the moment. These movable spheres are not longer movable, the are tied down in the treaty web more-and-more, is it because of micro alliances? No, it's because of infra huggers.

    Forming Super Alliances in hopes of stream-lining activity and planet bob change will amount to the current issues we already face being a community getting smaller- and when the two sides one day align, one side will get bigger and continuously roll the other and then the discussion to the current symptoms we face will again, arise.

    Alliances are like a business, for every 20 crap micros, one makes it through a year. A lot of the newer players of which the community knows are notably from smaller alliances.

    Supernova-X should not be taken as the hallmark case for super mergers, I would like you to look at TLR (in it's prime) and NG, both of which formed out of super mergers.

    There are many many many many reasons why SNX failed as an alliance, a lot of them have to do with how rushed it was, and how it was really just one man's way to get a bigger epeen.

    Despite the fact that I was on the receiving end of much of this beat down from LT and RS, I would like to say that they were probably part of the reason that I even kept playing CN, due to the fact that it actually gave me something to do, and honestly, events and micro drama like the ones illustrated here most certainly do not hurt this game at all, and I would agree with LH, it most certainly does help.

    Part of DBDC's ideological goal is to break down the power and sovereignty of alliance governments and thus establish their own control over membership by directly attacking those who disagree with them publicly. They view alliance governments as unnecessary middlemen between themselves and alliance membership.

    Needless to say, it is a ridiculous scheme, but it has gained traction among chaotic elements who would love to exloit the ensuing vacuum of power whether out of ambition or for the lulz. At most alliances would be administrative regions rather than sovereign entities in this plan.

    Has it ever occurred to you that if this were to happen, that nations outside of the top 500 wouldn't have to listen or even worry about DBDC at all. In fact, DBDC can never controle the world alone, the only way they could is if they had help from other alliances.

    her greatest weakness. We all know that and accept it. The 'smugness' was an OWF persona adopted for our own entertainment value (well except maybe Myth!), and not a reflection of the alliance we are - as our friends and allies would tell you.

    What you intended (Your smugness as a joke) and what people saw it as (You being an ass) are two vastly different things. You can insult someone all day and say "No offense" but at the end of the day, you insulted them.

    That's an overly simplistic analysis. Plus, it leaves out huge swaths of the Cyberverse which can certainly be categorized into spheres. Important to note is that spheres are fluid, organic bodies, not groups firmly under the control of one or another leader.

    I do know that there are more than two spheres, I meant that imo, that was what I got from all the paper treaties I know about pertaining to only what people call 'Polardoxia'

    The thing that makes CN enjoyable is the community and when you think about how it first started, as a small, close-knit community, it was fun and didn't need any enhancements. The whole reason CN even got big in the first place is because of NS and that community. Honestly, I don't think CN is at a point of no return, its just that not many people search for a "nation simulator game". There are many ppl out there who would love it and the only way to get CN to "expand" is to spread the word. So go, tweet about it on Twitter, tell ppl on Facebook, tell your friends in rl about it. That is really the only chance that CN has left for it to grow.
