    I'm starting to see "legacy" being thrown around more often here.

    Do people understand how legacies are defined?  Just look at their history.  It's not a great legacy.  It started off great early PNW, but when it fell - it fell hard.  There's lots of OOC drama, some stupid shit, bad management, and some serious stagnation.  To the outside eye, there's lots more negatives than positives (I can't comment on their internals comparatively).  If you want to uphold your name for that kind of legacy, no one can stop you but to me, it's not a good point to bring up.

    Keeping it together for the community I can understand, but anything beyond that...  some of these alliances just need to go.  They're just meat shields for other people's wars.

    And UPN isn't the only alliance that falls under this.

     

    Any player could run a 1man alliance, keep it for many years, then go "I'm keeping it for the legacy".  Ugh.

    I'm not really referring to in-game achievements as a legacy - it is remarkable when a community of any type keeps it together for a decade and a half. Like many, I've made and lost entire groups of real life friends in far less time than that. When I talk about legacy in this case, I am referring to what I mentioned in the second point of my post which was

    For many, I would even suggest a majority, the community element of the game is far more important than the politicking that goes on.

    Building a lasting community with people you like that stands the test of time is its own kind of legacy, irrespective of wins and losses.

    Local leftist denies people the right to self-organize :serious:

    Kidding aside, I think it’s important in a game like this for people to be able to freely associate without the threat of needing to pack it up and find a new home because their alliance wasn’t involved enough. For many, I would even suggest a majority, the community element of the game is far more important than the politicking that goes on.

    Further, I think communities generally self-organize in such a way that the active players find active alliances, and others find communities that fit them in other ways. In your own case, for instance, you didn’t leave Arrgh to join one of these less-active alliances, but TKR, your own micro, TKR, then Rose, before making your way back to Arrgh. 
     

    Finally, I do feel like picking this fight with UPN specifically is kinda lol considering they’ve got a 15+ year legacy they want to uphold, which is a rarity in any game, let alone nation sims. Perhaps that goes to your stubbornness point, but folks are unlikely to throw in the towel because “oh shit, folks are mad we haven’t merged yet”.

    Did y'all lower taxes after I left? You are remarkably high for what you offer to established nations; it borders on extortion. 

    Everything is extortion when your starting position is “everything I produce is mine; if you raise taxes I will literally quit gov”.
