WorldConqueror Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mergers don't really stick in my memory, and without knowing what NG and tLR will do, I'd say the MK-Vanguard one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yea I can hardly remember any big mergers either. The Athens-DE merger was pretty big and came with a it's own little drama. I doubt that's the most influential one though.

memoryproblems Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Its hard to say what merger has had the biggest effect upon the game, but there have been several alliances that have been formed through mergers that have gone on to spend considerable time sanctioned or even within the top 20, I'm too lazy to go looking to find any examples except for the ones that jump to mind, TPF (formed from COLD/TotalFarkistan), MCXA (Cross-X Alliance and Multi Colored Color Force) and Echelon (GAT-ITEC and The Shadowhood). Might not be the most liked alliances, but they've all spent time at one point or another as large/powerful alliances that have had some effect on the game.

Banksy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Atlantis had genuine repercussions. Mergers tend to not work out, however. I wouldn't say many have a huge impact on the course of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriekfreak Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 RoK became a sanctioned alliance because of mergers. They weren't called merge-a-lot for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Napalm Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The original \m/ came from a merger between a couple alliances iirc, and they made some waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] At the peak of their strength, I'd say they perhaps were. I'd say any alliance that spends time in the top 20 would qualify as large/powerful, and large/powerful alliances inevitably have some effect on the game.

New Frontier Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm surprised more people aren't counting Atlantis. Them and TPF are probably the two merges that had the biggest impact on the game. MCXA was always a tag-a-long alliance that couldn't really do anything in war time, so I don't count them for much.

Captain Flinders Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The first Nordreich was the result of a merger between the Prussian Federation and the Volksleitung. I'd say that must be somewhere near the top of any influential merger list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomzoomzoom Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 I was around back then but I can't for the life of me think how Atlantis impacted this game at all. I was in TPF at the time and I just remember slapping each other around a lot and Drai having a ton of casualties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wes the wise Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 The CCC and DAAN merger had by far the most impact on CN. End of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Vanguard merging with MK is the only one who really sticks out in my mind, since I used to be a diplomat to both of them while I was King of FCC (as well as when I held other gov positions). Since I remembered it before any others, I guess that one had the biggest impact from my point of view. Although I don't think mergers usually have a big impact, other than some alliances not doing to good taking their leave from the international stage.

[/quote] That merger was ridiculous, 700k NS to top 20 alliance and 7? MDoAP's (from zero). Also burned me out in a month >_> Also, I'd say TPF or RoK.
