[5th] Parallel Collapses - Could it have been avoided?
A galaxy whom shall remain coordless led a small but fatal break away and is now causing a massive amount of chaos around the 5th Parallel. As galaxy after galaxy now breaks away (perhaps to form a new alliance) and I see my gal status light up with shiny red colors that start at impossibly low ETA, I wonder if this could of been contained or avoided.
Perhaps a Parallel Alliance needs to have a more concentrated and operational command staff to enact retataliation against those who break the agreement. Seeing as tagged galaxy's are invading others right now, it seems wise that steps should of been taken to contain the crisis.

Couldn't have been avoided..
When the enemy is dead.. more targets are needed.

Unfortunately as in most para situations the war could not be avoided...
When enemies decide to take to the battlefield NAPS are often lost & ignored...
Along with the any war come the casualties, in this case the neutrals & unknowns that beleive whole heartedly in the [5th] & have no real backing from any great alliance in the war...
Could the para HC have changed anything???
I doubt that very much...para command is regarded as an after thought by those "professional" players that commit themselves to the honour & valour of their alliances...
So in light of this, there was little or no chance for the para HC to control this...

Unless said para HC are in fact running the new parallel alliance. In which case they wouldn't have wanted to change it.
Oh the intrigue...

Why do people still talk about para and cluster alliances in the style of real wars? It sounds very RP to me.

heh. Please dont talk like your surprised by these events. It happens every round, especially where large clusters/parallels are involved. That coupled with the fact quite a few people now have -4 eta now and the reduced parallel travel time, the split in your p alliance certainly wont be the only one this round in the next week or so.

The 5th NAP is still tentatively there. There has been no real hostility between both sides from within parallel. There are some good reasons for this from both sides (lets assume the sides are VoM and WEETNAR).
However, when the enemy controls the parallel alliance you don't just sit back and let them kick your allies one by one. Thus why 5th stayed rather static. They were quite aware that the allied forces had grouped together. This is why out of para forces were brought in.
5th was a front, a public display of... nothing.
It was meaningless, just a tool for both sides in this conflict.

The 5th HC were to my knowledge members of Virus, 2 Olympians and a Vision member.

No nothing could have been avoided. More of this is gonna happen as Nar / Weet desperatly is getting closer and closer to either no further gain outside mass initiating or splitting their block. The amount of targets they need grow as their score grows most will move outta their range. They have begun to stagnate themselves.

I came in Round 7, I had this little naive hope Parallel Alliances were different. Anyway, everyone is dropping the tag, and joining the new one CME or something.

Why bother resisting? At the time VoM were in the ace card position. Alternative methods had to be established once VoM got their foot in the door for 5th.
