Alliances at war-a proposal for clarity

[Maha Vishnu]

All.

This may of been asked before, but I am finding it extremely difficult to keep tabs which alliances are at war and which are not.

e.g Many know the Tauri alliance but may not know its family of other alliances.

Could there not be a sticky that when there is an alliance war, it is put where all parties can see which alliances are at war, no abreviations etc just plain words.
Afterwards, the leaders can pm the mods to close.
Keep the war threads though for the abuse people use to each other as that is fun to read

This would make it easier for those players in the different alliances check to see who is at war, (without going through posts to ascetain what the hell AK/TJ/ ET mean for example. Then when the debate is made about vultures, it is there plain and simple when the war started, when it finished. Black and white.

Further advancements could be that the stipulations could be put there like vultures will be massed or vultures welcome.

Can it be done, or a waste of time.

Whats folks thoughts on this matter

Hi. Well, I am sorry you would of lost your money
No one has spoken to me, but I am finding it frustrating to keep my alliance informed of what the hell is going on.

I do not want to be in a position where one of the members in the alliance hits someone at war, and all hell breaks loose.

It is a very difficult situation as some players enjoy being hit by others (keeps naq from the enemy) others get very frustrated and say that you are vulturing them.

Then, you get told, it is a war game, get over it. Then they use the policy, you hit during a war, your a vulture. Double standards, so why not clarify up front.
1)Which alliances are involved
2) Vultures will not be tolerated etc etc.

Ideally you`d have an alliance war system that actually rewards for a war being declared (or, since that`d surely get abused, does not "penalise") and as such gets used as a rule more than as an exeption of a rule.
You could then simply add a "at war with" feature to the alliance rankings page... For all to get a glimpse of the damage meter and combatants and stuff like that...

Imho that`d be a nice insight into the SGW universe for an induvidual player... cos surely news travels of interstellar conflicts. make way for t3h press! Expanding your horizon!

If someone wanted to construct a post with all the relevant info I'd be willing to make it a sticky in the GC. You would be responsible for PMing me updates and stuff though. PM me if your interested in setting it up.

Only problem I see with this is people not checking the forums. If you check the forums and check the GC you don't have to click anything else, just scroll down. I find that a common problem when I mass people for vulturing.

huh?

[HairyMehoff]

well i wont get into it as its not the topic... i stand by my previous statement ^^

[Juliette]

Hairy's arguing the validity of the entire "Vulture"-concept.

I think if someone's willing to spend their time on it, they're crazy.. but I'd use the list. To find good targets. Targets that are in war.

[HairyMehoff]

hehehehehe

[JediMasterX]

Hairy is just looking for attention. Ignore him until he gets something worth destroying and then mass him and ignore him again

[HairyMehoff]

*sigh* thats how it happens

This last incarnation, while mildly amusing, lacks convincingness. Or whatever the word is.
