Caliph Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wow, totally facepalm material here. I do not agree that the #19 alliance should get the #12 alliance spot, but this sounds an awefully lot like whining. Wheres the smug at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poyplemonkeys Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 [quote name='WCaesarD' timestamp='1294448233' post='2567881'] I could be mistaken in my understanding, but I always assumed the 200 member limit was a way to contribute to player retention and recruitment in the overall game. I see people complaining frequently about lower numbers of players, well, if you want a sanction, go recruit some more players. I don't see any reason to remove it, in fact, I would argue for it to go higher, as opposed to lower. [/quote] This post from the AsR pretty much sums up what I think about it. Perhaps the amount of score 1 nation gets you should be increased to stop people saying 'but they're in 19th!!!' seeing as score is a pretty arbitrary calculation that really doesn't mean jack when it comes down to it anyway.

ROMMELHSQ Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) [quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1294816267' post='2572920'] I did I just dont want to see this changed to suit you and your posse because you dont want to follow rules in place years. A leader coming out and whining like a commoner is far funnier. I dont think TOP did it when they were below the 200 mark they had some self respect. They accepted the natural order and did some recruiting. If you or any of the other people unable or unwilling to get/keep a sanction as it has always been then you dont deserve it. Membership level is important, in a time where people are trying to get numbers into CN rewarding lazy recruiting nations by waiving the member requirement for sanction status because of the butt hurt of those who cant manage it is a mistake. [/quote] We didn't recruit. [quote name='Sal Paradise' timestamp='1294814221' post='2572857'] Alliances are dismissive of the sanction when they're on the verge of losing it. [/quote] nah....we only wanted the sanction to get our flag in...nothing else. We hated everything else that came with it. edit: regarding the OP...it is sad indeed. But not different from the past when we were 4th or 5th biggest in score and couldn't get our flag in. Now it is the same, but opposite ^^ Edited January 12, 2011 by ROMMELHSQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altheus Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) If (as it appears by fairly common agreement) the only purpose to a sanction is to get your flag in game then surely the more alliances that get a chance of obtaining a flag the better? Given that's all it does why would you even want to prevent less powerful alliances from obtaining one? Edited January 12, 2011 by Altheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
