The problem with smaller tags is that they can then be full of hardcore players, making the difference in alliances much higher, which can result in faster stagnation. Right now you see smaller tags that could have more but don't, since they can't find enough of the players they want. Then again, own fault in not having full tag, you could give newer players a chance and risk having some shitty people intag since there's room.

For ex ND, we have many people playing this game on half-time, which all are old members having been around for ages, basically playing cause of ND and not the game. Then we always take in new players every round, some get into the community, others go inactive and get kicked, or some just don't even like playing and keep hanging around on #newdawn without a planet. That's what forms nearly half the alliance. Other half is the more hardcore players, making ND a more balanced alliance still able to be competitive. With 50 man tag this is already damn hard, as there are easily 2-3 other tags with 50 people all playing hardcore.

So ND would basically have to play with only their hardcore people from round to round in order to stay competitive, which would be an option, but not a nice one. We'd have to quit taking in new people, and at worst kick out some old members. I remember how much the 100 to 80 tag size reduction sucked.

And for what? Cause some alliances out there have the standard of "only actives lalalalal, only l337, blabla". Ohhh, unfair to have big tag. Well, go fking recruit then and stop whining, cause I see tags there that could have more players if they'd want to. And don't forget the new trend in PA of fencing through having a smaller tag. Just staying out of war through not beign competitive and play farmatarion instead.

And also, blocks are, and always will be a part of this game no matter what tag size there is. Even with 100k player base there were 2 sides fighting eachother in Planetarion. Lowering taglimits would only bring on more tags in the blocks. Maybe more fluid politics, yes, but might not be the way to solve it either. Maybe one reason of less fluid politics atm is that damn defencive nature of the stats so it's hard for even 2 vs. 1 to make a proper dent in a few nights.

And as GM said, it's been a tight race for 1st place these past rounds, so what's the actual problem as it is right now? We're currently looking at 4 potential winners this round too.
