Disallow Havoc Alliances
Havoc alliances really ruin the whole havoc experience. It's certainly not fun if you're not in factory, and I can't imagine it's even fun to be in factory at this point - now that the universe is pretty well picked clean. How hard would it be to disallow new alliances & new members after tick 1177? Better yet, disallow ingame alliances altogether and put it all on irc/webbies to orchestrate things - old school style.
Factory lameness must come to an end!!!

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
who cares?
Havoc is just a bit of fun after a lengthy round (7 weeks is lengthy!)

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
I'm firmly on the side of "lol havoc is lame, only losers play it lol". I still agree with this suggestion.

Agreed, 7 weeks is a long time. Much longer than I can ever last in t100 without crashing. That said, havoc fun should not be limited to the 80 players that jump into factory, it should be fun for all!

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
i agree with all of the above, somehow. havoc is lame but if some people wanna play it fine. if you are gonna play it is the saddest thing i have ever seen for 90% of the people who bother to all join the same alliance.
my best idea would be hunt down and kill IRL all factory players.

At some point it seems this community would take better care of itself. I see a lot of finger pointing on this forum regarding the demise of PA (mostly at MH's and Jagex), all the while a blatant disregard for any ownership of communal responsibility persists. I'm going to really get burned for saying this */me cringes* but there are a lot of really smart, talented people around here [insert least favorite player here for omission]. If we really wanted to attract and teach and train new players I'm sure we could. But it seems the majority would rather find ways to exploit positive personal outcomes than contribute to the greater good.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only thing that will save PA is a digression from the cheating, ruining, hating atmosphere that continues to pervail here. For everyone that doesn't act like a dbag, thanks for keeping a glimmer of fun up in this joint and I'll see you on the battlefield!

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
I agree, i thought havoc was to have some fun hitting people you couldnt properly hit in the real round...
Alliances should be turned off and resources should be given out more frequently. Would make it for more fun.

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
I completely agree with this post, havoc is just for fun yea, but its spoiled by the creation of the 'super-alliance' factory.
What fun do members of factory actually get out of it?
I tried to play this round, with my galaxy, for a bit of a laugh. It quickly became impossible to find targets worth hitting that didnt instantly get 5 defense fleets. And then I started to get lolwaves from those brave soles in factory.
I managed to stay in the top 10 for a while, my gal was top for a fair bit too, but after the futility of it all smacked me in the face, much like the rest of this game, i decided to crash my fleet and save myself the heartache.

+1 Connovar's comments
I think it's just sad that we need to have an intervention for 80 people and explain to them why thinking it is okay to be in Factory is the wrong mentality for the PA community.

No more pointless than the actual round is.

Re: Disallow Havoc Alliances
alliances in havoc are dumb. I left mine the minute havoc started to launch 3 fleets anywhere I wanted. Was kind of an odd feeling when some of those fleets pulled ~5 out of gal defenders. I mean really?
Of course I quit havoc the day after.

its a pity they can't planet manage this good in a real round , but I guess its easy to look good when your the only ones trying . if your in factorys and you have any respect left for yourself then I suggest you hit the leave alliance button now

Just bear in mind that even if they are removed they are still created.
