Discussion on the balance of new squads

Post by **Dome** » Thu Jul 03, 2014 9:39 am

I think that we can get enough players per squad for the core of the squad to not really matter. I think that Drizzo could win with half of his core showing and the remaining amount of players that will be recruited to his squad.

I think all of the squads have very good players in them and I think they all will continue to add very good players. Obviously Sysx has been top squad for a while and I recognize their good players coming back. Specifically, they are coming back. If Drizzo can get players to come back and play vs us, even if they have an advantage, that is good for Allegiance.

Why shouldn't the remaining, old, and new players be able to play up to the quality of a small group of returning veterans? Shouldn't that be what we are striving to do?

I fully welcome a version of Sysx to stay together if they wish, as they have earned it as being the last squad. They won the last version of the squads. But already several Sysx have decided to accept the challenge of a new squad and I'm sure more will.

Regardless I hope you join a squad soon XJammer! Allegiance is fun even if you're an underdog!

If that is what you want Dome, fair enough. I just hope that some of the SysX core coming back outweighs other squads being upset at uneven SGs, as I personally doubt that they will get half turnout, it will either be all/majority or none. With 60 players active on the leaderboard, 5 people core Sysx represents ~30% of the squad size.

As for me coming back - only once RT is back in action

Although P32 is getting close on convincing me to install alleg again (but to his detriment he got me to install LOL already).

These squads aren't even formed yet and they're already causing Drama. Well played people, well played

And FWIW I think Team Dome is probably as good if not better than Team Drizzo.

I think you're confusing cause with effect.

Or maybe just correlation and causation.

It seems as if the vast majority of people always do.

Drama the heartbeat of Allegiance

This isnt even close to real alleg drama. Metz's banning topic is way more funnier.
