OOC: Proposition to make NS more fun
Sorry for spamming this, but I think you guys should read this...
A lot of people can not experience the same fun the original nations on NS had for one simple reason... they can't do anything drastic or outrageous, all because every single nation has about 87 billion-plus-pop nations backing them up.
I think we should set a limit, no more than 5 nations in an alliance. They would work similarly to regions, being able to kick people out or recruit new people... it would make it sooooo much more fun. No one wants to go up against the CFA, or the GA, or the CC, or any of these other 100-member alliances, it just ruins the fun... In real life there alliances between like 3 or 4 nations, and not 80 something. If we had a limit we could be able to things a LOT more fair.
I don't know if this should be in the UN forum or Technical Forum, but oh well.
Do you understand what I am proposing? Alter the word "region" to say "Alliance" or "Coallition" and then cap it at 4 or 5 nations... It would work really well. Of course, you could have relations and trades with other nations.
Does this sound like a good idea at all? input?
The CC is not a military alliance.
The GA is designed to protect against evil aliens... and good humans. And has not been activated in recent times.

The GA is designed to protect against evil aliens... and good humans. And has not been activated in recent times.Yeah, the GA is kinda lame :P but still, there are many other uber-alliances...
This Silly rule would destroy the Command Structure and make it so most alliances cannot funtion anymore

Indeed. And SAVIOUR is an elite club, you're just jealous you can't get in.

Firstly, this would only make NS more fun for people who prefer to RP hot wars rather than cold ones or doing character RPs.
Secondly, there aren't many alliances of the size you suggest; this idea would kill organisations and groups like the CACE, WBO, SATO, The Reich, Arda...Groups which do a lot of RP among themselves and are worth keeping together.
Finally, to be honest if you don't want to RP with huge alliances, don't pick fights with their members and ignore their members if they pick fights with you. Permission-based RPs work like that, y'know.
And dude, we've ALWAYS had huge alliances.

How would 5 to an alliance help?
Say Praetor and Sketch form an alliance. There's about 5 Billion right there, with three slots open...
Maybe you should join an alliance, Raysia.
It's just envy.
By the way, how would I join ToY?

OOC: Praetor and Sketch, yeah. Maybe Josifovich should join too - about eight billion. Uh.

You wouldn't.
Why not? I can bring a lot to the alliance, such as several already inhabited planets to use as bases, and a military force.
Or do you discriminate against evil? :cry:

ugg, effing pop buggers.
Fair enough, but how about this:
GMC and Hack are already allied. There's close to 3 Billion. Furthermore, GMC ranks insanely high for all things military, while the Hack reigns in IT (259 last ranking, w00t). So with just two nations, you've got a solid force that wouldn't be worth attacking.
Again, 3 slots left open, and no popbug.

Are we STILL on about this? Aside from Josifovich the pop bug has been gone for I'd wager about 6 months. None of us who got the pop bug chose to get the pop bug. Get mad at the game, not at us. And again, ISSUE bug, too many issues was the problem, the pop growth was thE SIDE EFFECT.
Back to papers, yaaaaaaay.

Also, what makes you think you could enforce the 5 nations limit? It's freeform RP... even if it /were/ limited to 5 nations, then we would end up with ALLIANCE1 allying with ALLIANCE2 etc., in the end just creating a networked super alliance.
