It was brought in because in Round 15 eXi seemed to have planets dedicated solely to defending them, which weren't in the tag. They were effectively circumventing the member limit of alliances; which was a little cheap. A lot of players (1up) claimed that these planets were just multis that belonged to eXi but there was no way to prove it because, lets face it, it's not that hard to access them through different IPs. So I guess this is why the admins brought in this "support planet rule". At the time the rule wasn't too bad. Since then, the MH team has completely changed and... well, the current ones justify moronic things with this rule.

I don't think a member limit is necessary. Maybe a limit on how many members actually contribute to score or something, but not a limit on the actual members as it's a pretty pointless restriction.
