Topic: Alliance Aiding
I know its possible to aid allies through various unofficial means... (and yes, I know this is listed in the common ideas sticky at the top, but I thought I'd make it a little more fair)...
Basically, why not be able to have regular "modifiable" alliances (as it currently sits) and Permanent ones... What I mean by this, is regular alliances would still function as is... but to discourage any form of bullying or cheating with alliance aiding... When one wishes to aid an ally, they must sign a "Permanent alliance", at which point you can aid all fams in the alliance,(obviously the opposite ally must reciprocate the perm ally tag first).
More or less, its the only way I could think of off the top of my head, that would be relatively easy to implement... and would be fair for the most part...
Pros vs Cons anyone?
The only obvious negative to this, is if your ally epic fails.... Then you're stuck with them, but at least this way, they'd have a chance to get back on their feet!
