hey all,
now i am one of those ppl part of one of those elite alliances. In fact I am the war leader for this "elite" alliance. We were branded as an elite alliance a long time ago, when we got the top alliance to beg for mercy. Currrently ranked 6th, with 39 players and a 200k average. But i find some of these posts are very steriotipical.
I agree it gets used too often, and people need to acually understand what it means.
@ mike62 - i am assuming you are talking about TeA. Personally i dont think that they are an mra. they were, back when you had 500+ players, but you have deffinatly trimmed the fat and are acually looking to be shaping up as a good alliance. Let our war live on, and once we get through the wall of stoneCutters, we will acually be able to conquer you guys
either way, i think each "MRA" has to be judged on a case by case bases. For example and alliance that fights alot, and was giving alot of ground recruits in its new areas as it grows, and ends up with 300+ members. Does it count as an MRA? I wouldnt consider this alliance an MRA
what about an alliance that just invites everywhere? Yes i would consider them an MRA.
An alliance that invites alot in a localised area. Well it will really vary from person to person. Either they could say that they invited too much and ended up becoming an MRA, or they could say that they are localised and good. I would consider TeA this type of alliance. My oppinion acually changes as different changes happen.
Any alliance that hasn't been able to take out an MRA in the insulting sense by this point in world beta should be laughed at. By definition, classic MRA's splinter easily under pressure and become hulks of inactives. Assuming that these alliances have fought wars and haven't fractured they no longer fit the stereotype.
well, in beta, their was a massive fight for the core. It ended up 1 elite taking out 5 or 6 mras, and a bunch of other elite alliances, and an ally turning on them, who crushed them. Those were at the time the top 2 elites. Now the elite that had taken out the 5-6 mras is gone, and the other is still around. Because this all happened in the core and have taken many months away from MRA crushing, what would have been easy mras to destroy have bonded well.
Anyway, just my opinion on whats been said here.
