Why must you steal our biggest gainer, why?

The not always so minor issue is the stuff caused by ghosts who decide to declare upon on aligned nations, or break tech and paid-for trade deals. After all, everyone who has ever had to get involved in straightening out such issues knows how much it sucks to have to waste time on issues created by nations that aren't even in your membership.

So they cause some waste of time by your part (like 5 minutes to explain how the nation is a ghost) from time to time.

Ok, that is somewhat a problem, still though, don't see it as such a big deal honestly for some to make it sound how ghosts are like anthrax for alliances. If you have your ghost busting program in place (and everybody does) ghosts really are a minor issue not really worthy of much mention. But, you know, whatever really.

12 [243] (-1) FOK : 27.28 --> 27.10 (-0.18)

---------- Add Line : 13.68 --> 13.55 (-0.13)

---------- Drop Line : 13.38 --> 13.25 (-0.13)

Ok maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Add line was half the score of the last placed Sanctioned alliance. So how does a drop of 0.18 in their score indicate a drop of 0.13 in the add line...I'm confused.

Did you type yesterdays numbers wrong? Cause half of 27.28 is 13.64....

OK, its obvious you're just trying to be combative and start some type of fight as opposed to being open minded enough to look at it from someone elses perspective. Since its apparent you never had to handle something like that yourself, or have a very poor ability to keep track time in the real world, this discussion can't go anywhere productive and I wont reply further so you can walk away with your win on the internet and I apologize for having wasted your time to try and help you see a different point of view.

Have fun with your close mindedness, but, you know, whatever really.

Woooow, volcano erupting there,...lawl

Ehm, sorry mate if my different assessments of problems surrounding so called ghosts in this game seemed aggressive to you, really wasn't my intention to come out that way, nor was it to make it into a debate. I don't see it as an any kind of a big issue really, you do, its all good.

They actually provide alliances with programs and departments, through which they can make some of their regular members more active and engaged by giving them duties (ghost busting departments).

The little jab like "close mindedness" wasn't necessary, though.

I wish you luck in battling these hordes, then.

edit-- actually quite puzzled how I managed to induce that reaction, though I am a bit tired now maybe I am missing something. Though it gave me a nice chuckle before bed. I didnt know ghosts were such a hot topic, lol. Cheers.

Yeah, my program based it off of WTF's stats yesterday instead of FOK's. It'll be good for tomorrow.

[Ninja Colt]

Big Polar gain is imminent.

[SiCkO]

had a few major losses today

we miss u Sylar!

I think is funny people saying that be sanctioned isn't a good thing, so why not prevent that? TOP for example, just change the AA of half of your alliance members to something like The Order of Paradoxx or The Order Paradox and you won't need whine about ghosts or how be sancioned is a bad thing anymore.

We don't want TOP having TWO sanctioned alliances!!!

VE and TOOL told us they were going to pass us weeks ago so we figured no need.

Sometimes people might just have a different opinion from you.

This isn't a very nice way to respond to an otherwise normal debate.

[Jack Diorno]

The biggest stat collectors in the game don't like having good stats?

That's like the old NPO deciding to leave continuum and disband 1V because it doesn't like power.

Or it could be because they do like statistics and don't want ghosts to be messing up their ANS.

Splitting your AA down the middle would look a lot weaker IMO, but hey go for it, one less alliance to overtake

Man, remember the days when TOP whined incessantly that the sanctioning system was unfair because it required too many members to get a sanction? Actually Saber still does this. So fickle. It must be horrible having a handful of ghosts sitting there, not doing anything.

Ghosts are annoying. They get in a lot of trouble with their aiding and warring people in other alliances. For this, I am glad I'm in a still rather small alliance.

[lakerzz8]

Congrats STA, you guys seem to have been gaining really well lately.

Also we catch Polar slowly but surely everyday

Thanks! Look for another big gain for us tomorrow!

[WorkingClassRuler]

MHA keeps on running aways a little bit at a time

Heh, we feel the same about Sparta.

[Trace]

If someone gets bored enough, they should do a sanction race update based on the old scoring system that included avg NS, just for lulz.

[Baden-Württemberg]

uh, it looks like people are jealous on TOP.

[Feanor Noldorin]

Oh, calm down people.

A hand full of people's opinion =/= the entire alliance.

[D34th]

uh, it looks like people are jealous on TOP.

I don't think that people are jealous on TOP, but annoyed with TOP members whining about ghosts and sanction.
