I think the proposal needs work. After all, if we take an alliance average score and multiply it by 111% and then by 90% of the alliance members we're going to be left with something very close to the original total alliance score - and that isn't affected by the numbers of players in the alliance.

As for the current arrangement, it's a "compromise" intended to allow smaller tags to compete with larger ones without actually reducing the tag sizes and thereby upsetting members of the latter. As with all compromises, it leaves much to be desired.
