I doubt this is true, I think you are confusing this for a battlegroup consisting of alot of ex-Legion.

It would be the most rediculous thing in the world for Legion to return in full force.
Suffice it to say, members of the Legion "group" ('clan' isn't accurate) still play Planetarion. But Legion has no official affiliation with Planetarion anymore.

I believe grendel, rampage and biggdogg have all said at various times that legion will never return. However I am interested as to what precisely sparked these rumours.....

Pretty much the same as what makes Plush or Dragons a Battle Group and not an Alliance.

I think the question was more from the perspective of the rest of the universe than from the perspective of a BG member. To the rest of the universe, a large BG behaves very much like an alliance.

I'm not exactly a BG expert, since I was only ever in 2, and didn't really use either of them much...but in my experience, the difference to the outside observer should be pretty obvious. If you swamp an alliance of 80 people with attacks, you can expect to get through on a lot of them. If you swamp a BG of 80 people with attacks, they will have a much easier time defending, since they will have diverse alliances from which to leech defense.

well hope the alliances those ppl are in, do appreciate it then because if they are attacking with the bg dont they defend there first also? so what good are they for their alliance (not the bg, even thoe its the same in my eyes)

int he early rounds the meaning of BG was closer to what it actually does then now. Back then a BG simply was an attackgroup, doin coordinated raids, attacks and fleetcatching etc.
Nowadays you see most BG's supplying defence to their members aswell (some more others less).
I believe the difference with the alliance here is that alliances are defence based organisations and BG's are offensive based.

As an alliance Legion will never come back to PA. (Grendel said ' no ' remember ) Those people, legionaires, who are playing planetarion do it in a group with certain close friends and that group can not be defined as an alliance.

What everyone else said.
Legion and Friends [LaF] is the only real reminder of the Legion, other than ofc the community. A few LaF galaxies have been using old Legion gal pics/names of late, so that may have sparked the rumour mill into motion.
But to the best of my knowledge, Legion will never play the role of an alliance in PA again.

Pluis battlegroups can get round those pesky problems about not being able to hit planets in your own alliance, all you have to do is swap targets with a battlegroup member

Yes, there is a battlegroup on our network (jedi.legionhq.org) wich contains (ex) legion members and their friends. However many of the battlegroup participants are in an alliance of their own aswell, be it rah, eclipse, fang, sh, etcetera.
Legion as an alliance will never come back to PA, infact isn't even able to as I said before, most of the legionairs playing planetarion are in an alliance of their own.

Some HCs allow it and some dont as Ive experienced.
Sakera didnt like it I know, he wouldnt acknowledge me being in entity and a bg at once in round 8.
I was very open towards entity about me having a bg, and I had a great time both places.

not many HC's have the balls to stop there members, as tbh these days 1 alliance is as good as another, so there arent many truely loyal members who would stand for having there primary attack routines made forbidden.

if they had the balls they might change one alliance being as good as the other.
I don't intend to say that any old (or new) alliance would be great just cause they don't allow BG's, but some of the better alliances could lift themselves off from the masses of alliances by taking their firepower into their own hands again and showing their members how nice it can be to truly fight together as an alliance and bring back some of the loyalty from the old days that way.
By allowing split loyalties they aren't going to be better than the next alliance.

Original to what? I wanted to make some joke for humour, it was humourous to me (which is all that mattered).
Please do tell me the love story since it's not known to me. It could possibly be why you liked to impersonate him, trying to get some quick cyber eh? A powerful person in a powerful position eh?

It seems like yet another thread has degenerated into a debate over the merits of battlegroups ... but if ya can't beat 'em:
I really do not see how battlegroups pose a threat to alliances. For example, I am in a battlegroup, but I have a personal rule where at at least one of my fleets per day gets put wherever an alliance bc/dc tells me it needs to be. Apart from that, I run all targets through each alliance arbiter - and unless the target has been hostile, if I hear of even one alliance member in the gal I'll go to the next one. So I'll start out with a list of maybe 10 potential targets, and end up with only 2 or 3 that are safe to attack - then it puts no added burden on any member alliance - plus it strengthens them by essentially hitting everyone who is not us.
The problem is not with battle groups, but instead with selfish players. They are the ones who will find out which planets are in their alliance and just make sure that they personally don't launch on it. They also prioritize defense to their battle group, and only treat their alliance as a backup source for targets and a primary source for defense.
What you all forget to realize though is that these problems existed before there were battle groups. These players would commonly launch on 2-3 attacks per day, always make sure their galaxy first was covered with defense, and then alliance after that, etc.
The way to curb the "problem that is the battle group" is not to ban them, but to instead give DC's and BC's more authority in the decision to keep/boot members. Any time a DC or BC orders a fleet movement for a member in a given day, make a note of it. Any day that a member does not get such a note counts as a strike against them etc. You'll rapidly find out which people actively support your alliance, and which are only leaches. Also, if it turns out that top members or even highly active ones are the leaches, then cut them loose. Even if they are flying your alliance's tag, they aren't actually helping you out, but in fact are holding you back.

If anyone could create an alliance heralding back to the old days, it would be Sid. Sid was able to be ruthless, yet fair. Not to mention he could inspire and harbour loyalties. Many people were loyal to Sid, not Fury itself. (Luckily, this actually turned out to be loyalty to Fury)

The major problems occur when selfish players run battlegroups. Prime example being Dragons. Jurgen uses them for his own political motives, whilst having them leach defence from major alliances, e.g. for the most part Wolfpack.

or you get your members to lead bg's to use them for your motives, while you let other alliances flak the retals

Plz don't compare Plush to Dragons. I find it offensive.
