Where did you get that illusion from that Asc people will be bored if they have to split over several tags? You are underestimating us. Ascendancy, even in the rounds where we did not play for the #1 tag rank, always managed to drag some fun out of this game one way or another. Even if it was just to bash some top ranked planet out of a possible planet ranking win.
Next question: Why should the game try to please "bg's" and "small allies" instead of all people equally? There's a fundamental misconception to think that any changes in the current game should actually be in favour of any subset of the current playerbase. If the game finally gets some important changes done, then those changes should open up the game to a bigger market (f.e. the casual players which don't want to have to get up at night to save their ships).

Insomnia isn't new, they just "reappeared". Same goes for ToF. So it really is "only" three new alliances appearing (OK, 4 in top 20, counting EC in). Despite the high alliance member limit, strange that, ain't it?

Give it a shot for one round, we've tried higher limits for two rounds, and it's not really doing much for the game. Let's see what a low limit will do.

Or we just look at the statistics about planets per round and alliance member limit up from the past 20 rounds or so and take a look at that.
