You should check out the Old Republic. (O)ur democratic structure prevents arrogance and offers the possibility to participate to all players. To be elected in higher positions depends mainly on activity and less on size. |
The "democratic" structure of TOR is an interesting concept, indeed. Elections and governing bodies work in the real world because there is a vested interest of the governed to participate. Participation is sometimes more difficult to come by in Illyriad.

That is a very true statement. Only time will tell whether this is successful or not. Meanwhile, I faithfully watch too.
The top ten alliances hold the majority of the power in Elgea. It's not a popularity or a population contest. It's who backs who. Time is the greatest ally to the patient.

FDU is great if I do say so myself . Our graduates have gone to most of the alliances in this poll and beyond. I hope they remember their roots fondly.

I apologise to all H? about what I said in a drunken stupor. That rashness does not reflect my respect toward H?, and most certainly does not reflect the position of my alliance. I try to conduct myself professionaly at all times and this is a horrible representation of how one should conduct themselves. I am sorry to any I may have offended.

Many thanks Invic. Appreciated. You certainly have my respect after this post. (I'll give Kumo a hug for you )

Well I think it would help to specify in what relation you are comparing "us". There are pro's and con's to everything, but the term "best" is just so unspecific and comprehensive that its not clear what we are talking about.
I may be a touchy old git, but at some point it seems slightly undignified to throw salespitches for your alliance in popularity contests on the forum. I choose to abstain but otherwise welcome a debate on strategy and the respective approaches of semi-large alliances to the game and the task of governing.

Maybe it shouldn't be "best". Maybe most interesting? The function of this is for folks to discuss the various merits of the medium sized alliances out there that many people don't know that much about...
(and polls only have 10 slots, otherwise I would have put 20 up there!)

WoT is the best, of course!  But we aren't a loud and in your face alliance. We love new members and want to help them grow and have fun, but I very rarely recruit actively. We'd much rather people find us by getting to know us in GC and deciding we are an alliance they want to be a part of. WoT has grown by having almost no active player leave us after joining. As each of our new members grows, he or she then is excited to pass on the help they've received and make others feel welcome. We are family here at the Wheel No matter who votes or how, I know we are a wonderful alliance!
