Maybe i will join crow alliance when that it the only alliance to join, but i doubt it - There are too  many of them as it is - and No - I don't have to respect an alliance that thinks that they need to have so many affiliated alliances under their umbrella  and push others around-
Nothing against any one crow - just that ridiculous mindset that more means better - I often wonder how many of them would actually stand alone- or have the attitude they do if they did not have a murder of crows backing them?? - I give WAY more respect to the smaller alliances tht stand their ground and the players that seek these smaller alliances. Like i said - nothing against any crow - just see them as inhibiting play of  a good game with their interference in to disputes that don't concern them. We don't need crows acting like a "united nations" of Illy -and they  should back off and let other alliances handle their own disputes unless they are directly affected by it

This suddenly seems to be a foreign notion in Illy.  Personally I have found it works incredibly well if you share guard duties, share the items and avoid conflict.  Silverlake is correct of course, but  it is not unexpected that all of a sudden "might makes right" and sov and other such inhibitors of socially unsanctioned behaviour have totally disappeared in the face of trade v2.  I was hoping they wouldn't, but I am a realist.  Some people just have to have it all, and if they are big enough they will take it.  However, there are pockets of resistance to this mentality, and in time it will be interesting to see who does in fact end up with the larger "share" of items.  It's hard to produce when you're getting bumped 50% of the time by irate players.  When you share that just doesn't happen.  We live in interesting times.

Interesting comment coming from a player in a Consone alliance.  Last I heard, Consone is substantially larger than Crow.  And unlike Crow, which grew rather organically for the most part as players from established Crow alliances began their own alliances and chose to affiliate, Consone is a group of alliances that began independently and decided to announce a confederated group in order to ... apparently establish that they are a group to be reckoned with.

I have nothing against Consone and respect many fine players in Consone.  I also have nothing against the idea of a group of alliances that "have each others' backs," whether it's Harmless? and DLords, the Crow alliances, Consone, whatever.  I personally think having a large group of friendly players makes that game more fun.

But when one of your members singles out Crows for being a large group of confederated alliances I just have to well ...

LOL

Rill, you need to get off the cross, someone can use the wood... it is not about crows!   There are other larges alliances that write policies their members don't follows... and they are eating up smaller alliance's claims to rare resources.  I am  getting tired of these bullies!

was not necessarily singling crows out - and you comment about our being in Consone- yet - i believe it was formed as a direct result of the ever growing number alliances falling  under the crow umbrella  and other "super alliances" I could be wrong about that - but i don't think so - And I was not the one tht singled crows out at all- I commented on a previous comment that did single crows out -though in a more popular light to you i am sure - lol - I kind of like the cold war state it seems to be in - makes it interesting  Wink

CE joined consone? Big smile

I remember a school girl having to write a composition on 'post office' for an examination. But she had studied to write about 'cow' only. So she wrote - "Post office is not like cow. Post office doesn't eat grass. Post office doesn't give us milk... " 

That said, I don't agree with the comments on Crow. I don't know the reason behind that post either.

Absolutely! Sharing makes it more fun to all.

I share my wood freely, although of course it is not as good as Fluffy's.  Ask any newb.

Edited to clarify:  I mean, ask any newb whether I share my wood.  Not about the quality of Fluffy's wood.  I mean, some of them might know, but others might not.  Not just anyone gets to sample Fluffy's wood.

Oh, wait ...

You should ask Calcr to tell you about what was going on before they were part of the crowiltion.

All Alliances are a mixture of individuals. To say one alliance is bad because of the actions of some of it's members can be over simplifying things. If you feel there is bad behavior by a member of a 'big' alliance, than maybe you should contact the leadership of that alliance to take corrective action. 

If you have a problem with a policy of an alliance, take it up with their leadership. Or even take it up with your leadership to discuss with their leadership. Communication is the key.
