During round 17, Assassin announced game rules on the alliance rep channel and wasn't arsed to invite one of the top competitive alliance of the round in. Later, once we were asked by Night-Sky to join it, NewDawn and Insomnia made a huge fuzz of us being there, saying we don't earn a spot there. Now, the named alliance, part of which I no longer are, is running for the fourth round in the run - all the respect to ND, but the same cannot be said of f.ex Insomnia.
To sum up, the alliance representative mediums (forum, channel) are pretty much a joke.

Yeah, make it a vote so a majority of the probably 500-600 active players will have a say. Hell, what if we give a three-day time for people to vote? Good!

This way no one loses out, as defence can't be arranged until the game is actually open again. If you can find an upset party and explain why that party should be upset clearly and concisely, I would like to hear it.

I'm representing an upset party from round 18, when an alliance called Omen had coordinated a hit on a hostile alliance, and the ticker was stopped and we were floated on ETA5-9, while our lovely enemies were given 24 hours time to coordinate their defences. Obviously, we didn't land too many fleets, my neighbour's dog could organize solid defences with the resources 24hours gives you. Was it fair towards the people who were on ETA5+? Definately not. It'd take a sandwich short of a picnic to not see it. Did the whine change it? No, a part of a war tactic was utterly ruined, and it costed us a day worth utter beating in the war, as our enemies had launched before us.
But there will always be a loosing party, it's pretty much unavoidable.

I seriously doubt a poll on it and possibly a change of mind to towards the will of those who shout hardest would save the game from loosing players.

It didn't affect me in left or right so I feel I'm in more position to throw stones than the ones who got affected. Sure, it's bleeding unfair. Sure, it fawks up a lot of people. But a procedure is, overall, better than a haywired descision nobody can predict and that depends on who shouts hardest and who gets their peons run to the poll (which will probably end up with the results 31-17, which just describes how many take part in those polls). Refer to the comment regarding round18, when there was no protocol whatsoever, and the descisionmaking was done with some moronic activity (, "too"?).
It seems Destiny is awfully hurt by this. Did you guys launch late or what?
