Well, at 19/20 you had 1 project slot.
If it increased you from 19/20 to 20/21 you wouldn't be gaining anything. To actually benefit from this project (get 1 additional slot, because you started with 1 open slot and now you have 2 open slots) you would go from 19/20 -> 20/22
but thats a net of two slots, isn't it? you could've bought one project, you bought one and now you can buy two

No, but if you were at 19/20 Projects you could build it to put yourself at 20/22
- This project provides two project slots (net: one additional project slot)
How is this true and yet that's an additional 2 projects?

How do you issue a 72 hour notice to alliances that don't use discord?
Do you just send carrier pigeons or something?

Damn thalmor, no foreplay? The anticipation is like, half the fun.

Either vastly increase the top 30 alliance rule or get rid of it. It excludes I think every raiding alliance from new players choices.
A better way would be asking the person what kind of playstyle they want to go with. A person who's more interested in citybuilding (or base building as it is called in other genres) won't be joining Arrgh, and a person who is interested in raiding/looting won't be joining TFP (where it is illegal to raid), and then letting them pick from there
I would also like to mention, forcing a new player to do something is not the way to go about doing this. If you force someone, that means the decision won't be theirs, breaking their immersion. If I was told "oi, fresh meat, shut it and go join any of these alliances" I wouldn't be that interested. Instead, if you were to use positive reinforcement to suggest them to do something, for example by giving them some kind of reward for joining an alliance, that would be far more productive than just banning the alternative. Negative feedback will always generate a much stronger emotional response (that's a psychology fun fact), than nudging the player with the carrot.
Overall though, I agree with the proposal.

i didnt say anything, first time i see anything like it so i figured maybe others find it interesting too and to be honest i meant to post it in the borg locutus thread
oh okay. here are more screenshots of it then https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W-_Dhx34hWhy-Vo4CsZgriqKlqPGmXFCTdDgav34Juo/edit?usp=sharing
But if possible you should also find a way to get a look at BKnet. It's 2017 version was lightyears ahead of the locutus of today.

Granted, this is a cool website. But what's your point? This is not something new nor is it not allowed. Superior web pages (by that I'm mostly referring to BKnet and it's various copy pastes (re: rothschild, camelot) which are still around to this day) have been around since 2017.

I 100% support the idea of an offical, endorsed-by-the-game bot. If we had some sort of standardization like that, it would at the very least level the playing field of alliances who have competent coders vs those who do not. As things stand, micros and generally small scale alliances without coding departments are disadvantaged by the major alliances being able to do wacky stuff. And believe me, they are absolutely amazing tools out there, with debatable legality.
Unfortunately, this would not happen in this decade. Alex has very limited time for pnw as it is, seeing as how it takes an entire year to implement the smallest feature and/or push changes live to the api v3, even the notion of Alex putting together a team to have them make a bot sounds overly optimistic at best and downright unfeasable at worst, given his preoccupation with other things.
That raises another question. What features would you @Mars want such an "official" bot to have? There are already some great open-source bots out there, like Rift (despite it being written in Python 🤮), that cover all the basic functions already, such that anyone with a little bit of coding knowledge can yoink the code and put together something functional.
On that note, i would like to point out the unfeasability of enforcing your blanket ban proposal. Even though Alex can take down the api(s), scraping a webpage or submitting a login form is like 5-10 lines of code at max. There is no way for Alex to prevent others from finding a way around, assuming the coder knows what he's doing. At most, you will make it (somewhat/much depending on the situation) harder for people to gather data for graphs and etc.
Even if you somehow found a way to ban all such third party automation, what then? As someone else pointed out earlier, there is a big portion of the game who don't want to spend more time than the absolute bare minimum in the game. You might have 5-6 hours a day free to spend on finding targets or doing other stuff, but there are people who don't have that luxury. Alex would run the risk of losing them from his already shrinking/stagnating playerbase, which from his point of view woud be shooting himself in the foot.
