I totally agree.
I would say that there is one thing that is more important then any individual or political moves though, which is belonging to a community. The alliance needs to be a source for friendship and humour. Every member needs to hope they get through the war with a decent chance to score a top10 planet. BECAUSE IF YOU DONT WAR UR FKING SHIT IMO. If they get out with an average planet, there is always next round. When an alliance becomes a community, and the players start putting ally over planet, they will dominate the game in one way or another, every round.
Of course there are players within the community who nurse upon this, and take the neccessary actions to reach the alliance goals, but people are not forced to play..
I feel Ascendancy and Apprime has these qualities, both having a history of kicking a large number of people who didnt put alliance over planet.
Whatever this dude Forest is talking about, it must be some other game.
