I'm currently gathering friends I know in person to play with me in an alliance. If that works out I may be able to bring them into this project since they aren't predisposed to anti-sub-hatred ;)

First off though, I have to introduce them to the mechanics of the game

I REMEMBER THIS THREAD!! lol ok, just saw this again (lies, I saw this a day ago but wasn't bothered to reply). Twilight's efforts at dismantling my subpar argument is what i get for writing that much half asleep. :P Here goes...

First, your comments don't really have any bearing on my comparisons. I simply stated that... and I will clarify
Communism and Socialistic derived governments still exist despite the western worlds large outcry against such.
SubEmpires still exist despite the forum's large and continuing outcry against them

Therein lies the comparison. I'm not really concerned with how well Communism works, or how communist the communists really are.

Yeah ok, for some reason didn't pick up on that. I'll reread what you posted later, but I think that that point wasn't very well stated. Anyways. If that's your point, fine.

Continuing, How is this a guaranteed win? If there are 1500 players and ninety six of them work together that's definitely a sub empire but they all have to be really good to get into the top 12 alliances. It's hardly a guarantee.
Furthermore, if we remove those 96 players, there will be another different group up to replace every one of them in the rankings. There are 1500 players to draw from in the average server. The lowest amount of players on a server I've seen is like 750. Still more than enough

Nowhere did i say sub empires are a guaranteed win. You can't even imply that. I implied that *good* sub empires are a guaranteed win (8 alliances in top 12, although SYN does stand to be an exception, but I'll get to that). History is, I believe, on my side on this. But I'll justify this anyway. 1500 players is a lie. Large majority of players are farms. Decent players, players that can make a difference aside from taxation, lie in top 500 (bit liberal, should be 100 but eh). Let's assume that as a good sub empire, you're drawing from top 500? Congrats, you own a fifth of the world. And in which case has the other 4/5 of the world succeeded in united against a sub empire? They all prefer to make peace with the empire than fight.

Will continue tomorrow at work.

The top 500 does sound like an exaggeration but it's probably more correct than you realize. On worlds I'm doing very well I'm in the top 300. In worlds I've got crystals and conquers I'm in the top 200. I've never been in the top 100 and I don't consider myself a bad player.

You're right about 8/12 being in the top 12 guarantees a win. I just took you to mean something different than you intended. If we dominated that much then I think we would deserve to win at that point.

And besides, 8 alliances is a lot... I don't know where your ideal for an empire starts but I was just going for more than 3 or 4. I would rather have those three or four be solid than have a bunch more less effective alliances taking up space.

if you led a top alliance you would have a sub regardless of views

'nuff said

The more the number of subs, the more you would have to coordinate. And that is where the pain is.

Quote:
North Korea is communist. Everything is owned and controlled (ie, restricted) by government.


It isnt. Its a dictatorship. They rule with an iron fist, and preach anti america propaganda and those who disagree are either shot or are sent to concentration camps within the state. They operate on a principle called "Juche" which means self reliance, and they fail big time :D

This is not communism.

Communism if you read about it, is not really bad. Many people seem to think so. Capitalism and Communism both are based off of democracy, both are ideals that could actually help. But Capitalism has been a more successful propaganda, thats all there is to it. It is because people enforcing communism have never ever been politically correct, and today being PC is very important to your success :)
