I actualy lost the point you were making out on how politics would improve with smaller tags.
This round, and last round alliances such as BF had no intention going for alliance win, therefor stagnating the round, how is this gonna improve with 30 man tags? Wouldnt it be more likely that a 30 man tag would go for planet ranks, in return of stagnating the round?
In bigger alliances there will always be a bigger portion who aint playing for planet ranks, but caring for alliance rank or for breaking down some other alliance, therefor the HCs usualy get pushed into doing what is best for their alliance(members) if they are gonna sustain a alliance over multiple rounds.
