BLUELINE976 Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 [quote name='wilhelm the demented' timestamp='1280736864' post='2398162'] Oh come now! Don't act like it hasn't been your foreign policy for years! The NPO only holds it's allies in high esteem so long as they remain useful to them, assuming they pose no conceivable threat to their seat of power. Yeah, yeah you don't have such a high seat of power anymore, so you've had to change it up a bit, no?[/quote] Fortunately for me, you have the burden of proof for proving how the NPO pushed its allies around. Throwing blanket statements around like "NPO DID THIS, NPO DID THAT" is easy for those with lackluster skills. [quote]I'm happy for you, I really am. Thank you for validating my comment right after you tried to debunk it. You're simply brilliant.[/quote] Thank you for the compliment. I'm not sure if I could return the favor, but thanks. Notice that I said things worked out the way [i]I[/i] wanted. If I said [i]we[/i], then maybe you would have a case for making it look like the NPO bossed its allies around. Unfortunately, you don't, for I was not speaking on behalf of my alliance. Good try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uralica Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 [quote name='Seth Muscarella' timestamp='1280771980' post='2398570'] You agree with Trinitie's point while you just aligned with BRIG. You and BRIG may be friends, but there will come a day when you'll be approached with the request to defend us, through BRIG, against your other friends. [/quote] Hence the "even alliances with few treaties can get stuck between friends that don't like each other." Not saying I personally don't like Sparta (I must admit, trivia in Sparta chan was fun times... lol Brian and KA), but there may be friends of TOOL's who do not - heck, there might be those that don't like Brigade (God forbid, Brig is ). And inversely, there may be other friends of Brigade's that might not like TOOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoka the Great Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I am disappointed that there have been new alliances created since this conversation started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrenster Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 We should just stop granting alliances protectorate.

Prodigal Moon Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I was just coming in here to point out that at least the new alliances have gotten absolutely hated on from every direction. That's a good first step, right? Once I initiate my new [s]alliance[/s] global movement there'll be a lot fewer micro alliances, I can almost guarantee. But the less said for now the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corinan Posted August 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I'd like it if it became universally frowned upon to give protectorates to micro alliances. The tech raiders would take care of the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 (edited) There are definitely too many alliances. Too many small alliances with no ineterest in alliance politics. Too many dead alliances drudged up by a mere fraction of those originally involved who becaome hiding places for older players. All power to them, but it takes a lot of the players away from the central area of play into their own little world, groups of alliances, blocs, whatever you want to call them, and the overall political landscape suffers.

Opethian Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I'm afraid that disbanding the PPF would be impossible. Admin simply will not allow it. Also because the PPF lacks a bit in the "banding" to begin with.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaera Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Really we would be okay with having over 200 alliances if Admin would advertise and get CN about, say, 15,000 new players. Inevitably this community will rot and die if nothing is done to preserve it. We're under 23,000 for the first time during my time on Planet Bob.
