All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
You guys had a thread like this coming.
So what is going on? What kind of trick are you guys playing the rest of the Universe?!
Not that anyone believes you guys are disbanding.

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
Maybe that is not their fault, but the fault of fhaggish alliances in a certain block?

Any alliance blocking in this universe is "fhaggish" ;-)

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
I wish they would prevent us from using this 'trick' of hiding true alliance size. I can't imagine it would be difficult and would propably require merely a few rows of code but I guess there are more important things to focus on.

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
i would like recruits to not get the eta advantage as that would at least cut back on score hiding.

Then how are the alliances surposed to tell if that recruit is going to defend effectively or not to be moved up? A little hard to defend a lot when your lagging behind in ETA by not being able to have the bonus under recruit status people already have universe ETA's of 8 the only way to defend against that since it doesn't show up untill 7 is being under the alliance tag with the bonus. How do you expect recruits in alliance's to proove themselves if they can't make it to over half of the defense calls?

Supprised its taken so long for certain alliances to jump on this particular band wagon... smart groups have been at it since day 1.

Well, Fang have been trying to play the moral-high-ground card, claiming "we're more honest because we don't use it". When they realised that it didn't work, and that most alliances were hiding at least some of their members (or people just didn't care), they're on the bandwagon now.

Afaik Fang still holds moral highground compared to punch of other alliances out there.
+ for their credit, it's not easy to keep rank1 position when nearly half of the decent part of the universe blocks agains u. Sounds a lot like what happened with LDK r9,5.

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
also maybe this shows spinner that his recruit option is a stupidity
mere reason for us to use it now
and if you wanna test recruits then give em the eta bonus and dont count em to the score if you want (tho i dont understand why a recruit shouldnt be in the score but well...) but make this recruit state temporary. After three days testing or maybe a week every recruit must either be moved to member or thrown out...
that its possible to set a member to recruit again is ridiculous anyway

ok, back from audacious interpretations and derisory presumptions to the facts:
- The rankings doesnt include the scores of recruits and you can hide the score of your alliance this way
- Assuming, it would be a bug, FAnG did not use this "feature" but reported it on the boards and called on other alliances to stop employing it
- Elysium makes use of it since day 1
- Although public and well known, nothing got done to abolish/chnage the recruit ranks so far while FAnG`s #1 spot delieverd a perfect excuse for other alliances to block against us
Everyone can make up his own mind about who acted more morally and honorful in this special case

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
Mits tool on the portal shows the real ranks. I think, but it only tells you them for your own alliance.

There's nothing dishonourable about publically playing down your strength to reduce focussed attacks on your members.

That's not what leff was talking about imo.
NWay I don't see the big fuss here. Ely and co have done it since day one. We always said it was silly and even asked for it to be removed. But nothing changed ...
I still find it silly but I don't see if others can have the advantage of hiding, then why shouldn't we use it aswell? We atleast "showed" our true strength but being on the #1 spot and always in the picture of other alliances isn't always easy either.

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
a lot of FAnG dont like this BUT seen as most of the 'top' alliances r doing it i cant see why people are complaining, especially people from alliances who are also doing this.
i feel the same as a lot of people, Spinner shud simply fix the 'bug'.
flame on etc

Re: All The Furious Angels Went To Heaven
A little bug in the Alliance Ranking code has allowed members set to "Recruits" avoid counting towards the alliance score and rank. This has now been fixed.
The fix will be uploaded october 8th at approximately 22:00 GMT (but not showing until the tick after) From spinners mouth
