Yeah, i know alliance size has been the subject of suggestions and debate before, yet i am opening the topic up for discussion again.
I suggest a maximum alliance size of 10 players.
Currently there are 2 FTW alliances, and it has been pointed out in the Asph Disband thread it is a pretty boring round. Half of Asph couldnt be bothered/werent FTW and so they were never gonna make it (maybe)
Point being, we need more FTW alliances. Now obviously if we half the alliance size, we double the number of alliances.
Now, a lot of people would oppose this as it is too hard to defend against decent incoming. Now incoming would probably proportionally smaller, unless alliances were working together. So it wouldnt be the end of the world. Maybe it wont be harder at all.
But i think its the only way to bring back some sustainable competition. It looks like GC have already won the round, as there are not enough comparable alliances that would be able to stage any sort of resistance. If alliances were smaller, i think competition would be more equal and sustained.
Also, maybe more people wont take the game too seriously (as they dont expect themselves to defend everything, MAYBE), forcing tremendous activity on themselves.
I know I havnt provided the most comprehensive or strong argument for the idea and that most of this is speculation, but i wanna know what the rest of you guys think.
