So...

We're allied with them for events only. We're NAPed outside of events (I'm guessing to keep them from hating us).

What's the gain here? Is it like Bandit implied? To basically add more numbers to the alliance?

Are we that close to losing our grip on major events?

I'm only asking because
1) It seemed like we were enjoying being contested
2) Are there any other ways to raise our bar other than adding numbers?

I grant there are a few cool people in R but from what I've seen so far, they come to alliance events and don't listen and do as much damage as good.

If the alliance is bringing them in to bolster numbers, and not calibre, to me that just says moar zerg.

Just an idea, but instead of growing a zerg hoard, what about doing things to make us stronger? We have war generals right? (I don't know because jetstar is still working on a way to see who is who). If we do have war generals, I would think, again, not sure though, that they would be tasked with not only leading raids, but seeking avenues to make us stronger, such as workshops, or drills, or team building excercises.

Could that be an effective alternative to zerging?
