Lord Curzon Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) [quote name='elborrador' date='11 April 2010 - 07:16 PM' timestamp='1271027771' post='2256675'] TORN has lost a bunch of members over the last while (i don't know how long its been tbh, but the last time i checked you were steady around 100 members) how has this effected your decisions and do you believe its hurt the stability of your alliance? [/quote] Just to pick up on what bigwoody has said, certainly there have been some changes made as we have shrunk in size. We have had to adapt to this size and restructure. I think the switch in charter back in August (iirc) has certainly helped us adapt. One of the things that has happened is that we have become a lot more informal now. We have a group of 30ish very experienced and dedicated members, which has somewhat blurred the lines of gov and member. With our smaller numbers we are typically able to come to decisions based on consensus. We have a very active strong group of members who are with us through thick and thin. Like woody mentioned we all have been together through this last major war and had a staggeringly low attrition rate during our 2 months of war. I think it is fair to say that most people who are with us now, are going to be with us through hell or high water, and I wouldn't trade that relationship for anything.

Sandwich Controversy Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) At your worst point after Karma, was disbandment ever considered? After the Karma debacle did any of your non-NPO allies have any trust issues with you, or did they understand your course of action?

It was shot down decisively. [quote]After the Karma debacle did any of your non-NPO allies have any trust issues with you, or did they understand your course of action? [/quote] Some did, those made up some of the uglier cancellations. So be it, really, trust is the backbone of a good allegiance. In the end we found a smaller group of true allies, with relationships built around mutual trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few possible fissures, but they're unlikely to develop for a few months time. When NPO comes out of terms, I bet things will get interesting. [quote]What do you think about color team coordination/consolidation? Worth it or a waste of time?[/quote] Noble goal, difficult to execute. My hope for orange is to simply see fair treatment, no sanction wars, terms that drive people off the color, etc. So far it has been a success but I am still keeping my fingers crossed. [quote]Do you have any new structural changes in store?[/quote] More streamlining, and a few new approaches to preparing. We did well last war, but also identified weaknesses that are now a high priority to address.

(OOC)This is a game. People should find a group of other players they get along with, and who make this game enjoyable. If forming your own alliance helps make the game more fulfilling, have it at. But please, make sure you know what you're doing.(OOC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
