Non Tagged Alliances
I would think that with a player base this size that it wuld be mandatory for alliance to announce them selfs and them have to tag -up when they play the game.
You have very large alliances playing, and some ppl who are new to the game, and not apart of an alliance at this time. When they do attack, 9x10 they are hitting an alliance member and have no idea until it is too late!
( Death is visited upon him by alliance mate's)
At the same time, these alliance are hitting everything thay can, and living in anonimaty, with this type of attacking, retails become more a wonder and I retailing againts the #1 alliance, or some 10-20 player alliance.
At the same time some of these attacks have been set up to totally kill the player, not just to attack and steal some roids, but to wipe out his fleet, as well as his motivation to even wonder if he wants to re-build again. They sit behind this anonimaty and and laugh, knowing that thier alliance can not be labled for there actions.
I say if your going to play as an alliance, you should have the guts to tag your alliance., so others can see if it is worth retailing or not, And to have those that are not allied, given the decision to attack or not an allied player.
No I'm not saying this because it happened to me, for I have been allied since the beginning of the game, but have seen it happen to too many new players already to wonder if they will ever be back.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
I think he's arguing that if you're in an alliance you should forego anonymity and actually display your tag, given the advantage you have, particularly over new players. It's an interesting thought.
I'm not that opposed, it wouldn't affect me playing given that the fact my planet is ascendancy should be staggeringly obvious to anyone that cares and it would give me a chance to relax the no coords rule.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
tbh i think its not nice to implement,
first of all, this is a war game, so killing a fleet is part of it, every player can send his fleet away and normaly a FC is only done to a player of another top ally.
second, intel and a spy network is one of the fun things in this game, bringing the allies to public this part of the game would die instantly.
i suggest to new players that they join an ally to protect them from being bashed.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
This is not something I'm entirely opposed to, but publicly tagging planets is a big move and should be given an appropriate amount of thought.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
I'm opposed to it, I don't hide myself really, I don't fake nick and so on... but why should these small planets be afraid to attack a bigger alliance? The #1 alliance is not always going to defend better than the #5 alliance, especially in a scenario where there is say a 6 alliance block against #1 from most all the top 10 alliances. He would more likely be defended by attacking that #5 alliance who has tons of def fleets sitting on the ready.
All it would do is put fear into him, the same fleet ships and quantities sent by an awesome alliance like Apprime could have been sent by some crappy alliance like p3nguins but the only difference between the two is the crappy alliance may be more likely to nub crash. But I don't see any reason to make small players more afraid of their target just by seeing openly which ally they are.
This would only make players less likely to hit the target they want just cause of the alliance tag which is bad.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
Yea, but the arguement is so noobs don't attack bigger planets... that would kinda go against the point of XP tho wouldn't it?

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
Well XP does courage to challence the people on top and above you, how ever a new player should probably focus on surviving him/herself and not be the one taking the big steps.

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
True, but he still shouldnt attack a planet just cause of its ally, and what about if someone like ASS does a galraid, and it's members see 4 planets that are T3 allies... then they don't claim the gal just cause it's members become "fraid" of tehse alliances and such.
There is no reason to just give noobs a reason to be afraid of planets like that.

Its giving them intel that they lack. As well as alliances choose targets based on their political status and based on what alliances the galaxy represents. Whats the difference to it?
Its not to scare them, but choose their targets more carely.
No offence taken about the ASS one, I see your point, how ever we do not care a tiny bit whom or how big is the target we hit, aslong as we can cover it somewhat decent. We neither play from high ranks really, so we don't cry over an ass whoop either

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
was using ass as an example cause they're 11th... no other reason... but in general this was a reaosn why the idea was shot down in the past.
if the community wanted they could always name their planets
"Member" of "Apprime"

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
The question is not "do people want it?" but "is it good for the game?".

Re: NON TAGGED ALLIANCE's
IIRC in the old days when we had it so tags were displayed the big alliances didn't tag up did they?
I seem to recall they just based defence around clusters, so if this occurred we might see cluster alliances appearing again?
I can't remember fully, it was when I was like 11 and not fully involved in the game :P

It could also work as an incentive to untagged players to tag up
