But doing this again wouldn't be clever. It would just be copying someone else's plan and really, it's already a poor copy of Singularity's plan in
round 3 (that's over six years ago!).

I think the move itself has shades of support planets. But then you could apply that to alliances, and galaxies in general, as its a case of a variable level of support.

What this thread has shown is that the support planet rule can be applied to a hell of a lot of things, which creates doubt about what is against the rules and what isn't.

I have expressed elsewhere that I believe the game should move in a direction of clearer rules - leading to recoding. And an end result that in game, a player can only do what is legal. If you can do it, no matter how wacky, its legit.

That's a commendable aim. It's easier said than done, but it should be the objective.

One of the unfortunate truths about PA is that in a lot of rounds, someone was leading and they get pipped, and grinding of teeth occurs (understandibly), because if you have a shot at winning, you'd like to win, anyone would. From what I read, which is perhaps not enough, I think the gal had to do a great deal of work to actually pull the move off. As such, we should not be so very quick to assess it as a bad thing. If its assumed to be too easy to win this way, perhaps rather than a knee jerk reaction, PAteam could just adjust it balance wise so that its a good deal more difficult to pull off, but not impossible.

Entirely true and this probably will happen.

As for a galaxy ripped of the alliances, well SORRY, how many times have alliances shat on galaxies to persue their aims. You won't find me shedding tears at the bleeding heart theory on how it hurt alliances.
If this led to a resurgence of gals and people working at that level, it would be a good thing. Not a bad one.

Mindless drivel. And you were doing so well!
