Winds Of Change

Well I haven't played in a very long time since the days of fury and legion were ruling the universe. But it has come to my attention that Ascendancy has been on top for the past rounds and I think there is a way to bring them down in round 31.

This task would involve starting at the top of a alliance. With the need for a group of highly involved members who know the current planetarion system well. Any successful group in the history of any game or military or corporate group has started with leadership. This is vital because of the fact that without direction then the ship with stray off course of the main goal. It seems from the majority of post on the forums that many people believe that the reason most of these alliances are failing is because of the lack of effort on the bottom on the alliance but then there is the posts from those who aren't in the leadership group of the alliances claiming that there defense and attacks aren't coordinated very well. This shows that an alliance that is to be successful then it would have to be accountable to the people.
Only when the leadership is accountable to the people can the people be held accountable.

The leadership group would need to keep the course. This would me the group sitting down prior to the start of the rounds and coming up with a plan for the round. then having the entire alliance discuss in a meeting about the goals and how this plan is going to be pursed. This is done so that everyone from the top to the bottom is made aware of how this round is to be run. The involvement of the entire alliance is done for the reasoning that everyone needs to be held accountable for their part of the plan. If there is no attacks planed then everyone is out attacking on their own and the roid caps may be lower or losses may occur. The same thing applies to defense coordination if the team doesn't know where to send ships then we may be sending too much to some locations and others not receiving any at all. If these things aren't being done then how can you look the crew of the alliance and say hey you weren't online last night to send ships for defense when they are clearly not caring because they were on the previous night and were under attack but weren't defended because coordination wasn't correct and they were missed for no other reason then the leadership failed.

Once you have accountability of the top then you can effectively hold the crew to be accountable. Meaning that they are checking their account a many times a day. Being able to jump on irc to check if the alliance needs help defending anyone at the moment and what attacks are being planed a few times a day. A Team is only as strong as it weakest point, this is true no matter what thing in history you look at. A amazing sports team with a fantastic offense but no goalie eventually fails to the Cinderella story of a team who despite the odds wins because they all contributed despite them missing those top players like the other team had

There are many technologies that exist now that didn't in the early days of planetarion that made playing difficult for many. Now we have smartphones that can access irc and planetarion while out and about. That means people can easily now report incomings and be aware of where they need to send their ships for defense and attacks even if they are currently out doing their normal life things that may of hampered previous alliances chances.

Now with the alliance sizes dropping this upcoming round that means that there will be more people looking for homes. Omen is closing its doors so to speak, there will be some let go from all alliances due to size constraints and maybe even those who don't believe in there own alliances leadership that may leave. I believe now is the time to build a new universe order that will rile against the best of them

He's preaching some sort of revolution that basically involves setting an alliance up to attack and defend.

I might apply!

Re: Winds Of Change

Quick summary for those interested:

1) Get knowledgeable HC's. Important to start with this step.
2) Set clear goals. Discuss these comprehensively within the alliance before tickstart. This will help ensure "accountability".
3) Apparently this will somehow mean that attacks will always be run and defense will always be right. It doesn't get specific here.
4) If the "leadership" are "accountable" people will try harder to be more active.
5) A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link!
6) New technologies since this person last played make checking your account easier.
7) With the alliance limit dropping now is the time to move for various semi-correct reasons.

That's pretty much it. I would like to point out that Ascendancy already meets, and in most cases far exceeds, these requirements as best as they can be translated into the modern environment. So did Omen and quite probably Newdawn. There has never been, nor is there still, any hope for CT.

Overall a good post from a new person but it does show a touch of naivety as regards the current standard of play.
