And if you relate well with that type of personality, I highly recommend them. I met and played with some great people in this alliance.
The reason Se\7eN left, to put it simply, is because we could not agree with how decisions were made. It was just a difference in opinions. We thought an alliance was for individual corps to remain individual but have more resources when required. Our opinion was that others in the alliance thought an alliance was one giant corp.
I truly miss some of the players still there, and I wish nothing but good fortune to the Top Men alliance.
Happy Gaming!!!
Many good points so far. The determining factor that I can see is a fine line between control and balance. Each corp must maintain it's individuality and persona within the alliance and not be overpowered by one or larger corps within the alliance. If not it is nothing more than a tyrannical dictatorship led by one expecting the others to follow, wrong approach.
Discontent is a very strong factor in breakdowns and will destroy an alliance from within, as we have all seen. To many corps join an alliance to quickly, go to the strongest or FOTM alliance and rule the heavens, only to find out it doesn't fit your players and tends for bad blood in the alliance and tears your corp apart.
Treating an alliance like a large corp is the best way to success only if you find other corps with like minded ideas and realistic goals you can all work towards together while each corp maintains it's own identity within, as one corps strength can help another corps weakness. This will help build you a back bone based on trust as you really get to know each other.
Regular alliance leadership meetings can keep a lot of BS from happening if the joint leadership stays focused on realistic goals and knows another corps intentions before it takes action, not after, it could lead to a war the rest of the alliance may not wish to partake in.
