As furball has said we have had this situation of people saying they want to help a smaller/new alliance but whose intention soon take a turn for the worse and its ultimately bad for the alliance.
For a small alliance HC its easy to be seduced by an offer from an experienced player and its happened numerous times in the past and its what alot of people have preyed on to allow them to fulfil their motives.
Now how many of the proposals had another agenda from the off we will never really know as some of them may very well have been soley down to those making the proposals being clueless about the game lower down.As MAsta_MArk said (oh god im agreeing with someone from orbit
) the two games are completly different in style, your top alliance tactics and policies wont generally work further down as the membership base wont allow it to. When they cant do what they want to do they get annoyed and agendas change.
Now at no point have I said or will say that Goat has any other agenda than to do some good but his proposal does contain phrases which will set alarm bells off in anyone who has paid any attention to the lower end of the game and who has seen such proposals before.
The people who have been successful are those who werent demanding a HC role from the off, they went in as a kind of consultant to the command and a trainer for the members. Roles that allowed them to be helpful but which didn't make them integral to the alliance from the off so if it didnt work out the impact was limited.
You may be one of the few who doesn't have another agenda and who understands the lower end of the game and are prepared and committed for the fact most of your top alliance tactics wont work and will need adjusted but you also may not be and anyone considering your proposal has to be made aware of this so they can account for this in their decision
