I could not disagree more. This is yet another pointless, self-imposed limitation on potential teamworking ideas within PA. There are models beyond the traditional "military hierarchy" and recently successful "laissez-faire" approach of Ascendancy. I can think of several that would have an excellent chance of success but it doesn't happen because new alliances form continually from the composted waste of the old, led by the same tired faces with the same dull ideas. There is currently zero evolution, to the point of devolution in overall quality, of alliance strategy in PA. Do you contend this is a good thing? You certainly seem to be a large proponent of it...

There are ways to have fun and still be successful without either of these approaches. People need to stop worrying about the pointless limitations being imposed by PATeam and worry more about how to have fun within them, even if that means challenging them occasionally. This is supposed to be a game of war, strife and conflict but instead it's planets-by-numbers within alliances-by-numbers. People should really stop blaming PATeam, Jolt, God, whoever and start realising that they are just as responsible for stagnation in the meta game as any of the above.
