To solve the biggest problem it causes with the current alliance score system, the easiest solution would be simply a case of having one of the alliances set as the primary one (in this case that would probably be TGV). The primary alliance would be considered to be recruiting the other alliances members and when the merge process starts the members of this alliance would have their base scores set and the score gain the primary alliance would get would only be the score gained during this period. This would obviously put them on the similar footing as any other alliance who mass recruits members from elsewhere.
The 72 hour alliance less periods a little harder to sort. With a bit of coding you could maybe have a system where the merge is proposed, when accepted you have a 24 hour get out period where either side can change their minds before the secondary alliance is disbanded, places reserved for them in the primary alliance. Once their 72 hours were over they would then automatically obtain their place in the target alliance. You would probably have to give members an opt out chance so if they really don’t agree with the merge and don’t want to be in the new alliance they don’t have to go through the 72 tick period twice.
The automation of the system would encourage mergers for building a stronger alliance reasons as they wouldn’t need to all apply and be accepted one by one as a manual system would force but there’s no ranking/score bonus that encourage rank/score/convenience mergers
