WalkerNinja Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I take exception. I'm not saying that it's good thing, it's just a fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sure, why not? Vox Populi was a re-formed alliance, and I'll bet it'll be back again some day. I can't really complain. Vox is everywhere, Doitzel, there is no hiding this fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generalissimo Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 If the Viridian Entente could come back anyone can. (I might actually try the alliance thing again if the National Alliance of Arctic Countries goes for a reformation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaera Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Why wouldn't it be okay? Especially for alliances like IAA and NAAC who were basically (if not necessarily explicitly) forced to disband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doitzel Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Vox is everywhere, Doitzel, there is no hiding this fact. Those pictures clearly spell out "Vox Popul". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Sponge Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Why wouldn't it be okay? Especially for alliances like IAA and NAAC who were basically (if not necessarily explicitly) forced to disband. Oh holy crap, do I have to make a post correcting this once a week? NAAC wasn't forced to disband! Not in any way shape or form! Once they disbanded I made sure they stayed that way, and Polar to this very day still maintains the watch.

Cirrus Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I predict that GR and NpO will merge to form the New Order of Arctic Countries. Not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porkers. Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 There is a name however that's not on that list, that a friend of mine will be reforming in June. He didn't want me to tell anyone though, so I'm not going to, however it is an alliance that I think many of the ex-members will leave their alliances to join. I'm 90% certain I know that alliance, and that person. I've missed him being active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerschbs Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Why wouldn't it be okay? Especially for alliances like IAA and NAAC who were basically (if not necessarily explicitly) forced to disband. I would be absolutely fine with IAA coming back, as long it is revived by someone like you, and we get a treaty again. An alliance couldn't ask for better allies than IAA, GATO was incredibly lucky to be treatied with you guys, and I would do everything I could to make sure you guys were successful once more.

Haflinger Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Is it bad of me that I read this thread title and thought of the other meaning of "reform"? No, reforming alliances is bad! Corrupt alliances must stay corrupt forever. Edited May 7, 2009 by Haflinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qaianna Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I would say it depends entirely on the community behind said alliance.An alliance doesnt die with the post saying it disbands, it dies when the community has given up, and this could be well after a disandment notice. Or, for some, well before--a disbandment notice may be the final realisation that the dream is, sadly, dead. I'm not going to name names there, because I don't know any. As far as bringing them back ... well, whether they last or not may also be reflected in whether or not they do the things that caused them to fall apart in the first place. Angering half the world seems to have consequences these days, judging by my Nation Strength charts. And if an alliance fell apart from internal reasons, they'd have to sort that out, I guess. Although many don't like the idea of wars that don't end, it may be a good idea to have a chat with whomever was a former enemy. A courtesy call, if you will: 'Hi, we're bringing back X Alliance. I know there were some issues between us, but we'd like to wipe the slate clean' sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardonic Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 First off GOONS (Goon Order of Neutral Shoving) hasnt reformed. A different GOONS alliance (Goons Order of Negligence and Sadism) from a dead world migrated here. New suggested word filter for LW: "A DEAD WORLD".

Sovyet Gelibolu Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 New rule: For every alliance that reforms, all the alliances that splintered off from it while it was alive, or who claimed to be successors, must disband and remain disbanded as long as the reformed alliance still exists.

There's no way todays polar would treat the NAAC like you did. And also, if the NAAC were to reform today, it would be big and probably very similar to its original culture.

Mogar Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Of course it's "okay". They don't really need permission to do so. You need the support of the ex members of the alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Flinders Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 You need the support of the ex members of the alliance. Well no, you don't really need it. Of course it would likely help legitimize the alliance but you don't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogar Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well no, you don't really need it. Of course it would likely help legitimize the alliance but you don't need it. It'd certainly make them upset with you and lead to your downfall later on if you don't have their support, you're correct you don't *need* it, but I believe you do if you want to be successful at bringing back whatever alliance.

Master-Debater Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 If you were the first, or part of a group, to form the alliance then its your call to reform it or not. If you disbanded it or just want to give it another go try to tak to the first people to make it to see if its ok. Nothing can top you but if youve got the origional people itll look a little more legit instead of being just some shell of what it used to be.

Captain Flinders Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Wouldn't that be stealing the old alliance's name rather than reforming then.... True. It depends what you see as the core of a reformation. Is it the members or is it the name/protocol/practices? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
