    You can always tell when an alliance wins its first war by itself, because it thinks pulling shit like this is doable.  Aurora did the same thing a few months ago.

    You would think an alliance as old as HS would know better than this, but I guess not.

     

    Are you talking about the Midgard - Withheld terms? Because those were pretty tame comparative to these.

    These are just my personal thoughts on a topic that is a bit controversial.

     

    I've felt recently that there are quite a few alliances in existence that don't participate in the wider community, don't really initiate or even contribute to politics, and generally only ever fight defensive wars when their inactivity or incompetence becomes the center of someone else's war of boredom. The reason I write this is because I feel that there has become an oversaturation of these alliances and we seemingly are living in a time of change for Orbis, so maybe this writing will prompt action.

    The problem with these groups is usually not their inactivity as they log in often enough to function, sometimes just barely, as an alliance. The problem also does not lie with their incompetence, as the meta and politics are both relatively easy to learn and navigate. The issue is that stubborn pride is like a glacier: Locking up fresh water, inaccessible to the world. These alliances are host to several active players usually working hard to keep the wider group afloat, locked away from the community, and usually stuck in lower government positions long enough to drive them inactive.

    Cora from UPN is a good example of a potentially great player in an alliance fallen from greatness long ago, and now can only be described as insular on their best day. UPN, The Immortals and Mortals, Dark Brotherhood, TCM, USN, and Gods of Orbis -- just to name a few from the top 50 -- have over 400 nations between them. 

    That's almost 10% of all active nations, locked up like a glacier in insular communities that generally don't drive or even participate in politics. Food for thought.

    Err, i would argue that alliances especially such as DB, and i could say tI and maybe UPN are definitely improving and not dead. Dark Brotherhood especially should not be in this list, i feel they are much more active politically.

    Now TCM and GoO are just really bloated micros, especially the case for GoO. We see a few of these all the time, sometimes they end up improving and becoming promising political entities like tI. 

    USN is pretty much like NpO, Fark, WTF, which is that its an old type knit community that just hangs around.
