Of course, the alternative is that alliances get by on less officers, decreasing alliance quality so that members of most alliances have a worse time.

This idea that alliances can't function or are totally shit without sufficient officers (quality + quantity) is actually starting to get a little e-annoying. It's just not ****ing true. People who say it's true, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, are deluding themselves and, by posting such thoughts here, are continuing to participate in the mass delusion that is "elitism" in Planetarion.
Just because the military hierarchy model has been victorious in the past does not mean it is the sole effective model. Why do people keep insisting the world is flat and that only people who believe in a flat Planet(arion) can go to heaven? Alternative strategy may be heresy but at least it isn't blind ignorance.
