Bad idea...hope it doesn't come to pass.

I'd like to quote a semi-good scholar who said a prfound statement on the matter...

Having some alliances with no newbies is a learning experience itself... take that away and you're hurting the newbies... I thought we were trying to prevent that????

the point isn't really to help newbies as much as it is to weaken stronger alliances.

As far as I know (and it WAS announced earlier) the next game will have a 25 PLAYER max.

Have you admins even read about all the glaring complications this will cause? This is by far the most senseless action the developers have ever taken.

I disagree, maybe cause I see a different side of it. I would like to see a game with smaller alliances, maybe 10 members, maybe run it at double speed or something, but I remember a time when a fleet of 5 or 6 ships could do amazing things and I'd like to see a return to that, at least for a game, just to try it out or something

It's funny how the admins care so little about the players view on this. Oh well I strongly disagree and I personally will go find another game if the alliance roster is decreased in size. You have already changed so much these last few games, why not listen to the guys who actually play this game and take a rest before you ruin the game?

Anyways do as you wish, it seems your minds are set. I personally just hope all the opposed players will walk out so you'll somehow learn the consequenses of not caring when a large majority of the players are opposed to something.

That's pretty much all I have to say on the matter.

i like the idea, it will spread the talent out more and make the game more fun. The game wont be so much about how many ships you have but more about how well you use them.

Most of us aren't protesting against the idea (so long as alliances are large enough to maintain territory). What we're protesting against is the thoughtlessness that went into its implementation. There was an entire thread about the consequences of this change, and many people pointed out the many problems.

If the admins don't see the point, I'll rummage through that thread and make a page long list of inconsistencies, unfavorable gameplay, outright mechanical flaws, and potential abuses.

Don't do this for next game! At the very least fix it first.
