Joe rox was kicked for lack of forum use, lack of participation, and being a simmer. He was on my list of player to kick before his city was put under siege. The mogul just got lucky enough to get a cs in there a few hours before people started getting kicked for these reasons.
Bottom Line I wont keep anybody that thinks they can hide in our alliance, not use the forum, and not participate. Thats whats called dead weight, and i'm kicking everyone of them. It is no power trip. I'm just getting rid of the players that shouldn't be here.
If you look in this very thread you will see that on 10.06.12, at 22:26 I said i was going to do this. This is what you call replacing players to form a stronger team. Everybody i invite into the alliance is made aware of the fact that if they fall behind our don't meet our standards they will be replaced. Since a city can be conquered by the time you hit 3,200 points if you hit 6k points, and still can't conquer a city you are to far behind.
Our #2 membership requirement is be aggressive. If somebody has 7k points with only 300 troops, and 10 biremes, and still can't make light ships they obviously aren't meeting our #2 membership requirement. Therefore they do not meet our standards, and are being replaced.
I think that's about enough on this topic as it is off topic, but i must say thanks for going off topic so i can show people that we do stick by our membership requirements. Do you by any chance know what you just did here. You just gave the real fighters a chance to see that we are about war and not playing farmville. You just helped me with recruitment Thank you!
