Lol, people complained at MOS when we offered them this.
We offered TDK merges of 15-20 of their best into our alliance and they refused on multiple occasions. We only took in 3 in the end, and the rest went to PFK.
Look how thats going for them, PFK are falling apart and only a very few good players remain. The sensible ones have left to plus- which is a great up and coming alliance in my opinion.
Overall a great post mate, its got some great questions in there for all alliances as well.
As one of the two main leaders for LU id be happy to reply to the questions you asked of us personally.
- I cant speak for myself, but i know my leadership team are dedicated and hard working. We have a newly implemented leadership structure which was put in place after the merge which is a direct chain of command and communication. So far its been working very well!
- PFK are a shell of their former self, few good players remain. Brackas is my personal favorite and seems to be the only one continuing to "give us the goods". (the splinter group from PFK "plus-" is actually doing a better job attacking and conquesting our cities than the whole of PFK combined). So, yes, we will be able to hold them off for the foreseeable future.
Prediction: I will definitely have to correct you on this point. None of our players are leaving because they do not want to complete wonders with us. We have obviously had a few inactive players come up recently and we are dealing with that appropriately, but nothing on the scale seen in other alliances.
Any players wishing to not take part in building the wonders themselves will be going to SLU, our extension alliance, and those that wish to take part will fill up all the slots possible in MLU to compete. Overall id say there is a minimum of 95% of our 2 alliances that will be here and actively competing in the WW phase.
This was my monthly glimpse back into the forums, if you need to contact me then do so in game. Im always up for a good argument there more than here nowadays. If anyone thinks im wrong then come conquest one of my cities.
