The Purge

[Lirisa]

Encourage warfare/activity in P&W. Have a Purge for 10 days  every 3 months. Give a one month notice for when the 10 day Purge will begin. During this ten day purge everyone stops being a member of an alliance. Alliance leaders alone keep the alliance and maintain the alliance bank. The first day of the purge alliance leaders kick everyone out of their alliance and Sheepy could handle the non compliance folks. Nations that do not want to be a part of the Purge can begin a holiday the day before the Purge begins. If you want to limit destruction during the Purge for that 10 day period all missiles/nukes could be inactivated by Sheepy. After the ten day Purge is over nations could rejoin their alliances.

 

If P&W does not do something like this it will follow the path of (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways). Where now in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways) you may have one war a year. Folks are bored and leaving the game. Alliances have warfare/raiding all but locked up.

 

Bad idea. First, removing the formal alliance wouldn't stop the alliances from contining informally. Alliance x reminds players that the purge is coming, if they can report any wars, but also the alliances could devlop some kind of infastrucre to have players keep track of all of their players and have players go through a various amount of them. If the players were deidicated enough, they could have still do all the warfare/raiding/ defense they usually do but without the formal name.

 

Second, alliances and players devoted time to finding the alliance and players they like. It would be a pain for them to be forced to leave and then rejoin and then have the alliance members look through their pre-war rooster and make sure everyone was reenlisted.

 

The alliance marker is just a tool to keep track of who you're going to in trouble,and there are also taxes but compliment players could just give a desginated player x amount of whater the alliance taxes are and continue buisness as usual. If this happened, to play with any stargey players and perhaps alliances with larger members would have to go through the nations pre-purge and keep a list to themselves of who's with whom.

 

These changes would frusrate everyone. Raiders, who want to know they're attacking a nice squishing target or are they going to be ins ome hurt for it. Alliance Hirearchies : Keeping track of which nation belong to where would be mind-numbling painful. New players wouldn't know who to join or not.They might still be on beige but if they weren't they could be in a world of pain because they can't if the leader from say, Rose is better security wise than someone who just decided to make a new alliance and at the moment they just had like four online friends.
