Because there are clearly so many inactives in a 3rd ranked family that they will merge with a 10th ranked family. Ignoring that part of your argument, if they are to be ranked number 1 then they can fight for it, rather than fighting everyone and stopping. Fact is we want more conflict and more fun, it won't necessarily be 100's of banker planets, it means the bankers will have to defend themselves better and the attackers will have to have more shares with their bankers to keep them safe wink

As for cores, it makes them redundant because whilst you might have had an NAP with core clause with the pre merger family A, the family B that it merges with might have infiltrated your core, and so suddenly NAP doesn't exist and they are all over your core. It brings back the conflict and in such a way that it is possible for small families to enjoy themselves later in the round.

Are you honestly trying to argue "it's too hard on the big family" if the small families NAPs are disolved upon the merger of the families? The merger of the smaller families with the removal of their NAPs and them maintaining their spread will lead to some very interesting tactical decisions and the possibility that smaller families can still gain a hell of a lot of pleasure out of the round.

It adds an interesting spin to NAPs and would enforce a sort of honour code by virtue of the fact that if you were an asshole to a family they may end up being your family members!

Hmm, it's a fair question. Should people be able to put in place core clauses, and what action should be taken in the event of someone dishonouring a NAP?

Perhaps it would be a fair clause that if you breach an NAP all your other NAPs become void and anyone can attack you (in terms of enforcing honour)? I don't know, I will think on it.

By using the modifier "my" he is changing it to the group of persons working for him. As a native english speaker, trust me "my staff is" has different conotations. In the example there, it would be "The staff is very efficient." or "My staff are very efficient."

Your reference also states clearly that in the british usage (i.e english X() that collective nouns tend to be pluralised. This is one of those cases, he is clearly referring to multiple persons, and despite the collective intent you still have a situation where if you use is instead of are it becomes an unwieldy sentence.

We should have enough for a game at least on a smaller scale? We just need to hit Arsy up.

Score is what determines the winner. It is added to on every tick.

Perhaps would read better if the second sentence were changed to "It is updated every tick to reflect changes in families such as growth or persons leaving the family."
