Alan Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I know this has been tossed around over and over. "Make a Micro Alliance Affairs section" doesn't make sense as everyone in the game has a different idea what a Micro is. But why can't we have a subsection under Alliance Affairs like we have with national Affairs? But instead of making this a "Micro Affairs Section" make an "Alliance RP Section" and a "DoE" section. This eliminates: Micros that want to do stuff with other micros that may not necessarily be treaties, such as "We've opened up talks/embassies with the other party". People being annoyed that Alliance Affairs Section gets "spammed" with issues or topics that aren't full treaty signings DoEs (Declaration of Existences) won't flood the alliance affairs section every time a group of 4-5 friends want to make an alliance. People won't say "Who are you?", "Disband" and "Merge into us" reducing the amount of toxicity shown to some of these new players. This adds: A new way for alliances to work with each other and improve relations using RP as another means of communication A space for the RPers when Politics & War is advertised as a "Nation RP Simulator" that won't find discrimination/belittlement by posting in alliance affairs The ability for not just Micros but Macro alliances to enjoy having their IA/FA staff do some creative writing and add something extra to the game. A reasonable filter so people won't be spammed in alliance affairs and thus in the discords (Please excuse the aspect ratio of the Sub-categories). This change is not intrusive, doesn't change the way the forums act or behave it just adds the missing link that National Affairs has had. We don't need a Alliance RP suggestions section as that can easily just go in Game suggestions. The only other thing you could add is (just like with the National Affairs section) you add an "Alliance RP Archive". Please take the time and share this with everyone. This has been a change that needed to be implemented Looooooooong ago. 1 10 Quote A game dies without a community. Don't hate on the communities trying to grow. Eat them instead.

Broke Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 There is no need for a National Affairs, and your suggestions do not, in fact, resolve the problems you have pointed out. However, I would suggest a separate alliance affairs section dedicated to top x alliances. Only people who are officers or up in those alliances can make posts in that subforum. That would be an ideal solution to the "spam" problem you have mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is doing the very thing we're trying to avoid. It's just blatant discrimination. We want to give EVERYONE the ability to enjoy the game and express themselves while at the same time giving them an appropriate outlet to do so. 1 Quote A game dies without a community.

Moderators Chief Wiggum Posted August 3, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think most of those problems mentioned can be avoided by using the announcements tags. If you don't want to read DoEs, then just avoid reading the threads labelled as such. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

namukara Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Let's not further subdivide the community and allow large alliances to treat smaller ones with more contempt than they already do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Zephyr Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Suggestions and discussions for reinventing the Alliance Affairs section come around frequently, but I'm yet to see the issue with the current standard. Quick look at recent Alliance Affairs activity: Last 7 days: 3 new threads, 6 active. Last 14 days: 7 new threads, 9 active. Last 21 days: 8 new threads, 12 active. Last 28 days: 10 new threads, 15 active. It currently averages a new thread every 2 to 3 days. Seems quite manageable, and we don't need to push micros into a lonely corner.
