Not every "top" alliance is build on friends..I don't wanna get into politics regarding the current round, my point was simply that FTW alliances are made up of a "core" group of friends who are then supported by other FTW players.
--If you decide to "lead" a round like i did 2 rounds ago.. *GC*
I actually recruited alot of people i knew, but never played with before.. and most of those people i actually started to know/like/respect during that round..
You seem to have misinterpreted this suggestion BigBoss. At no point did I say a leader wouldn't be able to pick their team, they'd simply have less choice after recruiting their "top" players, they would have to fill a set number of places with newer, less experienced players. (The definition of "experienced" we're still debating).
If you can't pick a team yourself, then why would you bother to lead an alliance?
If you can't pick the 19 members you want because of a cap, then you ain't able to pick your own team as you want it.
