We've had fewer tags (with more than 40 members) during the last 5 rounds (7.8 average) or 10 rounds (8.4) or 15 rounds (8.6) or 20 (8.75) or 25 (9.08) than during any other period of identical duration. We've had an average size of about 58.64 members (std.dev 4.03) in each of those alliance since the early 30s. Size of tags has never measurably influenced the number of alliances playing, the number of signups, or the number of people playing in alliances. Measured over a number of rounds, it hasn't even clearly influenced the average number of players per alliance. If we ignore this round as an abberation, value has been king for 40+ rounds, no exceptions.

That's a lot of things to be wrong about in a single sentence.

You were talking about good lands being determined by how much value either side lost. I don't know why're talking in those terms if you weren't interested in beating your opponents, whoever they are.

This is not a unique age of mediocrity. We've had superpower eras and downtimes between them (like now) since PAX, and before. Expand your horizons.
