logan1 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 what AAs do you believe have the general memberships the most in the loop of alliance affairs? as we all know most AAs keep general members in in dark on important decisions being made behind the scenes, and even the not so important decisions. so my question is which AAs allow there general members the biggest roll whether its helping make alliance decisions or just being able to see the govt work toward their decisions. or all all AAs govts behind locked doors? thanks for your input in advance. Logan1 of Bedford. PS this is not a recruitment type post, just looking for input on other members AAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoomzoomzoom Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nemesis is the most open AA I have ever been in. The govt looked to the membership for input on potential treaties, etc. In general the smaller and close knit communities are more open and willing to share "sensitive" information.

Dave93 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 this is gonna sound bias but Athens for me gov is always talking to us about what treaties are comming up, potential treaties all that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Dan Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Bias: My alliance. There is nothing, including new members, not discussed by our membership first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
President Obama Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 TOP. Everything important is discussed by the membership. But I may be biased. I also hear ODN releases a lot of information to their members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhysicsJunky Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 In general the smaller and close knit communities are more open and willing to share "sensitive" information. Best and worst, a fair number of smaller alliances only have a couple truly active members and information can get caged up there. I think it really just comes down to how close knit the alliance is, which just happens to be highly correlated to size. A good example are alliances that largely recruit from outside CN. Their membership is really here for the alliance more than the game itself at that point. Also high on the list are ideological to-the-death alliances. I know the FCC for example got up to 60+ members and was a fairly powerful alliance at one time and while staying completely open. I believe a lot of the communist alliances function similarly. If you want a good external indicator of how close knit an alliance is you can generally look at how strict their membership requirements are, allowing for variations in how prominent the alliance is.

Sal Paradise Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 There's no need to cite bias. You can only really speak for alliances you've been in. At the moment, I'd say TJO because we have like 11 people and everybody knows everything... for now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenderek Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Usually, the smaller the alliance, the more information you get about your alliance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Obama Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Actually, a while ago FCC probably would have been up there. They still might be, but not sure with their new structure in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyman1984 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nemesis Gov is tremendously open with general membership. Going from the GGA to Nemesis is really kind of a night and day difference in terms of what information you're entrusted with and the level of interaction with Gov.

DogeWilliam Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) I think it really just comes down to how close knit the alliance is, which just happens to be highly correlated to size. Perhaps, though I would tend to disagree. IMO, transparency in an alliance comes about though a constitution which protects it and a member base which follows the constitution, including government. That has a lot to do with the maturity level of the alliance. There are mature alliance out there that do not have transparency. But, that is due to it being written into the layout of the alliance. In order to have a very open alliance, where government and membership openly discuss and work hand in hand, you have to have democracy coupled with a mature player base.

Geoffron X Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nemesis Gov is tremendously open with general membership. Going from the GGA to Nemesis is really kind of a night and day difference in terms of what information you're entrusted with and the level of interaction with Gov. That's because there are/were tons of spies in GGA, and nobody really cares about Nemesis right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatty Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 As I can only speak for what I know, MHA has to have been the most transparent alliance I was in. I liked that, through voting, we had the chance to shape the alliance's foreign policy. Kudos and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nemesis has always seemed to be most in loop these days. In a related tangent, my alliance has become much communicative and aware of our machinations as this war has progressed. I hope it stays that way.

Augustus Autumn Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) The internal happenings of the Initiative are discussed pretty regularly in the private channel and on the boards outside of the usual OpSec stuff. I know to some extent this was also true with The German Empire as far as upcoming internal programs and bigger treaties.

dwthegreat Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I would have to say TOP,GGA (or BTO ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir Stukov II Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) TOP is more open to its membership than the couple small alliances I've been in. Just about everything passes through the general membership before the government takes action. And as stated earlier, every TOP applicant is reviewed by the membership.
