Unfortunately I agree. Was busy all summer so didn't have time to come with any input, so can't really complain. But this looks like one of the most boring stats sets in a long long time

Yeah this whole 2 tag thing is getting out of hand, how can you be proud of winning a round if you have double the players the alliance behind you has, its not cheating but its close enough to it.

Ultores has been 80-90 planets for several rounds.
The tag limits been too low for years, wich has leaded to this situation.
There is nothing stopping smaller allies from commiting to work together to make the odds more even, but usualy its stopped by noone willing to commit to working with another small tag.

What is 'hoarding players'? Are these not people who are free to make their own choices? Demort is not some kind of slave master, trapping players in alliances they don't want to be in.

Low tag limits have resulted in alliances recruiting enough people for 2 tags? How does that even work?

No room for inactives, no room for expanding the memberbase, whatever.
If one tag has a 2nd tag, the rest has to have it to compete.

I'm not sure if I'm reading you correctly. Are you saying that 'low' tag limits result in alliances recruiting more than if the tag limits higher than they are now?

Actually no, Bitcher said that small tags didn't work because no enough people could run them. Yet we are getting more recruitment and overspill tags forming and lots of people running them and new people trying stuff and old people returning to run stuff.

Using Kittenz and it's overspill as an example, it's a very two tiered system. The calibre of players in the overspill is lower and needs different politics and naps/allies accordingly. Although Katz will always aid Kittenz it may be possible to lock out the picture if as Kittenz rival you get your naps right. If it was 1 giant 120 person tag you couldn't do this and politics would be stale AF.

Ultores doesn't have two full tags. Ast is like 30 members. This round it's barely even 10.

Really? This series of posts was started by a complaints that all these large support tags are a problem because they make it harder and harder for standard 60-man alliances to win. You're saying Butcher is correct when he says tags should be even bigger than they are now. Could you explain how the situation is improved when we allow Ultores to merge with Astatores and KittenZ with CatZ and Apprime with whatever their support tag is?

Because at this point, and I want to stress I'm not being sarcastic for effect, but I genuinely can't see how that would work.

I was honestly a little surprised Butcher took a statement that I had specifically crafted to be contradictory in order to point out the flaw in his argument, and then went ahead and agreed with it. I ran out of ideas what to do with that other than highlighting it as something to read twice.

The arguments thats been given by Ultores in the past is that they have too many "core players" to fit in tag, and instead of having em go "spy on other" tags etc, theyve decided to create a 2nd tag wich allows their players to play with the community.
Looking at past rounds, before the tag limit cut, Ultores were around 50-70 players, so i dont think the argument that Ultores will just fill up their tag and create a new support tag is valid(even though it could happend).

Many tags thats been "high caliber" on paper has usualy eaten themself up from the inside because of clashing personalties, and this is more likely to happend for bigger tags than smaller tags as the chance of having more CBA`s, or Joseph`s, or whatever in those tags.

Quite honestly i did not read your post throughly, i thought you asked if i belived the new meta of "2nd tags" has increased the recruitment activity in tags like Ult/App/KittenZ.

Guess some will get pissed if you approached their players to join what is your support tag/main tag/whatever.
I wouldnt, its just natural that players switch alliances these days, and its not like Ultores/ND/CT/etc isnt trying to recruit players from other tags aswell.

Well this is a question on how you define a support tag.
Well over 50% of all fleets CatZ sent last round was sent to KittenZ, more than CatZ sent to their own planets.
Meanwhile, under 10% of the fleets KittenZ sent last round was sent to CatZ planets.

So they happend to have 2 tags, where one is much better at defending the "sister tag" than the other.

Not that i got anything specificly against this way of playing, as its what the game is enforcing upon the community with having the tag limits as low as they are today.

What's the difference 60 man Kittenz1 and 50 man Kittenz2 vs 60 man Ultores1 and 50 man Ultores2 and 120 Kittenz vs 120 Ultores?

You complain about support tags when in reality the lower tag limits are the only thing keeping the game alive. Do you really think allowing agar3s access to 360 ally ETA def fleets in an active ult round would be good for the game? The +1 support tag defence keeps in check the usefulness of such a plan and if the likes of Ult or App were given access to 60 more ally spots each then they would gather up every active player going in 2-3 rounds and then just nap and chill.

Well there is a lot difference.
Its called the "bandwagon" effect, cba to explain it to you, as im sure its been dicussed xxxxx times allready.
Also, having 40/60 planets scoring means that even with 10-20 planets in a support tag you will have MORE planets that has a crazy "1 ship build" and that dont care about crashing their fleet as long as lose some aswell.
The other round i had 5 or 6 waves of incs from "Astatores", all of em "covered" wich meant the attacker to big losses, way more than defence, still they all landed cus they dont give a damn.
The moronic changes to the tag limits over the 30 rounds is changing how the game is played, and its not changing it in a direction wich i think is positive.
Historicly, Ultores never had a lot of players, theyve always been around the same member count they are right now, a little less actualy.
And who is talking about making tag limits 120+ anyway?

So you can't be bothered to explain the core reason of your argument?

Nothing was said about counting/uncounting, that's a completely different kettle of fish.

So all this is based on an element which has moved by 10-20 members in 30+ rounds? (Kittenz would still have Lionz with round 40 limits)

Astaores style of play is no different to any other uncompeting alliance around tick 800, just because they are affiliated with Ultores does not make them different to any of the plethora of tags that have done the same since rd1.

You have no clue of Ulrores memberbase, you never played there and no one in there would talk to you on a personal enough level to give that info away.

If we have two tags with 60 + 50 you would alreast need a tag limit of 100-120 to stop support tags otherwise nothing would change

I wonder where do you get those numbers from...

To be quite honest, we played separated most of the last round due to fang politics, which stopped us acting as a one. Until we had to leave for that particular reason. Without the obvious KittenZ relation, the merger would have been pretty nice with fangs def oriented thinking and our attack hungry people. Sadly the politics messed it up.

We only deffed KittenZ the last (couple) hundred ticks, when they had a clear shot for the win, while our 20 man tag obviously didn't. Still there were a solid few finishing top 100. Prolly would have been closer to t50 without changing priorities.

I don't know what supportive formation you do find from a tag full of solid teamplayers and some main figures of the alliance.

We don't have minions to do dirty work for us, so I rather create our own luck.

Maybe Illuminati are close with Apprime but Illuminati are there own tag and have no intention of supporting Apprime as Apprime are playing a chilled round

And as for FAnG between 9 and 12 of the players are former bows and im not to sure that the whole 9 - 12 of them would have the influence politically to make decisions regarding relations.

Anyway were not talking about alliances that are napped/allied or have been friendly in the past were talking about an alliance having a 2nd tag controlled by the main tag
