very good idea, finished the long comptability work inside alliances

If the tax was optional, ok.
You shouldnt have to force players into sacrificing some of their own, well earned income.

The only thing I would say is that the alliance bank should have a limit on how much could be stored within it - otherwise it would just turn into a bottomless pit where people could hoard naq - thus possibly limiting attacking.
The limit could be based on a certain amount of naq per alliance member, or based on each alliance members own naq production capacity.
There should also be a tax (higher than that of individual non-ascended banking) - otherwise it would be free banking - again allowing people to hoard without loss.
Any update should not detract from the fact that it is a war game where people ares upposed to attack for naq.

I agree to everything Wolf said. The bank capacity should be the total combined bank capacity of everyone in the alliance.
For example, if there were 5 members in an alliance, each with a bank capacity of 2bill, then their alliance bank should be 10bill. I think the 5% tax that is associated with normal bank deposits are sufficient enough.
Also that the alliance leader and second-in-command would have to approve of any withdrawals within the alliance. A very good idea though, and I would like to see it implicated into the game. There are far more advantages than disadvantages.

I say the alliance bank should be calculated as follows.
Half of each emmbers bank capacity combined.
If two members share an IP, then for the next 6 months, if theyre in the same alliance then only one of their banks counts for the cap, the smaller one.

i voted yes
i belive that the bank should be the aliances average bank space x2
i also think that aliance leader should be able too set who can withdraw
and set the aliance income % per turn that goes into the bank with a min and max
it would be nice if this bank held more than just naq
ats , mts , uu , g+r , merlins , covert turns , mercs , blowup dolls
all held using the aliance bank

I had a crazy thought. (and I'm thinking as I write, so if you catch any major probs, please point them out) Why not make it so that any official withdrawal from the alliance bank has to be ok'd by the leader or second, but since this IS a war game hows about there be another method of "withdrawal" from the bank. As in, a member of the alliance (and only a member, no outsiders) can rob the alliance bank at any time. It would cost 500 AT (even though the bank has no defense) and an alliance wide message would be sent out announcing who robbed the bank and how much they got. This could greatly add to the war aspect of the game.
To prevent multies from joining one alliance only to rob it and give the goods to their other half here's a suggestion. Due to the potentially massive amounts of naq stored in the alliance bank the naq is converted to highyl condensed naquadah, allowing more to be stored in smaller spaces. When the naq is officially withdrawn it is restored to useable form. When it is stolen it remains in condensed form until the thief joins another alliance and places it in their vault, so that it can be safely removed. This might eliminate most loner attacks on alliance banks, but it would prevent the naq from simply being moved to another player in an untraceable fashion.
Condensed naq is radioactive, and can only safely be removed from the safety of an alliance bank for 24 hours before its effects are felt on an acct (unless it was officially removed, that reverts it back to its natural state). After 24 hours the condensed naq begins killing LARGE numbers (25% total army per day with all classes equally likely to be effected) of the thiefs men. The only way to avoid losing 1/4 of your army every day is to join an alliance and deposit the naq. After 5 days, if you have not joined an alliance, the radioactive signature of the naq becomes visable to the tracking equipment the alliance leader of the stolen naq is using, and the leader or second of that alliance may begin attacking for it. After 10 days the massive amounts of radioactivity from the condensed naq is so obvious that even people who have nothing to do with the situation can see it is there and attack you for it. Of course, anyone who steal the CN will face the same problems if they do not place it in the protective confines of an alliance bank.
One last thing, when the player who first stole the naq joins another alliance that information, too, is sent to all alliance members in a mass email.

sit back and read with much attention, because I have a lot to say:
Good idea

I vote yes...
My personal bank is 380bill
It would make it easier for me to get covert levels if I can deposit in there...
plus It would be an easy way of getting goods to RL friends who by logging onto one persons pc and someone else logging onto that pc has caused a knock on effect and means I cant private broker between 6-7 other people in the game...
