(Disclaimer: I'm not coming out and saying we should switch world 1 to random alliances. But I do think it is a topic that should be thoroughly discussed.)
Here's some thoughts of mine to kick around, feel free to flame.
- You're put into a random alliance as soon as you sign up. Assuming you want to be in an alliance maybe? You could opt to be solo if you want perhaps? And then if you choose you can put yourself up to join an alliance, and be randomly inserted in one?
- The alliance leader is chosen by a majority vote of the alliance members, and can then appoint officers and stuff. If opinion changes the people can just move their votes and elect a new one.
- You may leave your alliance at any time (maybe a limited amount of times per round? 1? 3?), but have no say in where you end up.
- An alliance can expel members by some means - maybe the leader puts it up for a vote, and alliance members have to vote to expel by a majority? Or by a supermajority? 2/3? 3/4?
- The alliance begins forming as soon as signups begin, giving alliances time to plan and stuff before the round begins. Some mechanism will have to be implemented to ensure that there are enough alliances, and that they have a fair distribution of members. If there's 10 alliances with 20 members and someone else wants to join an alliance it wouldnt be fair to put that person in an alliance of one right away.
- Alliance leader gets to choose alliance name. Can it be changed during the round? If so, will there be some way by which to ensure that others can still identify the alliance after it changes its name (assign a number to it or something)?
Also an idea to throw around - even if we wouldn't implement this in W1, maybe still in a public W2 or something?
Just some thoughts of mine.
