seen some people say alliance x,y,z is not ftf.... its all lies. and then it kinda muddled itself out by page 4 so i stopped reading.
but to me i define ftf as. not enough acitve competitive members. with enough drive to put in the time and effort that is normally required to win.
therefore. if ftf alliances manage to get a good rank/score/lead by putting in less effort, or playing politically, and has a chance of winning, its likely to spur them on to put in more time and effort, and as such they may start playing more and more ftw.......But. the fact that they arent ftw to me means thier members pick and chose to be active or inactive to help others or be selfish. and arent expected to conform to a set standard
in short ftf is reconizable by an allaince not kicking members, to try and cut away at dead weight. and to date res. has only replaced 1 member. i think thats not bad going for any alliance. and quite an achievement. and not something characteristic of a ftw alliance in modern rounds.
