@ insane
It just make the gal more competitive.

But, if it means they have to reset the gal then just wait for next round to do no allies.

How does not having allies make a gal more competitive? Not having allies only adds 1 fam to the pool of fams you can attack, which is an unsubstantial increase in the total amount of fams.

Plus most fams will have one or more naps made beforehand. I assume the situation in s1 makes them almost neccesary, in the eyes of some ( i havent looked at map yet ). Instead of those naps, why not just ally one?

In my opinion allies add a layer of depth to this otherwise boring game. It adds difficulties in necessary intra-alliance communication: only those capable enough are able to work together with their allies. A certain amount of chemistry is needed in the alliance, for if not the alliance is doomed to fall apart, work as 2 seperate fams and eventually weaken to the point where both of the members of the alliance fall behind other fams.

I'll state it again: communication is necessary. Those alliances who fail either failed in communicating properly, or attempted to work as 2 seperate fams rather than 1 alliance. It is not the system that is at fault and that makes the gal uncompetitive, it is the players who are not able to adjust to the extra layer of depth. Dont hate the game, hate the player (in this case i dont mean the players who ARE able to adjust, but you, the ones who voted yes to no allies!).

Maybe instead of whining about others using the system at hand to gain an advantage, blame yourself for not being able to do so and falling behind!

If this round is changed to no-allies, i wont be playing.

you mean 15 fams, assuming you're not going to attack your own fam.

say 15 fams is 100 %, then 14 fams is 93 1/3 %. OMG a drop of 6 2/3 % in the amount of families you can attack! Now this round is going to be boring!
if we take 14 fams as 100%, then 15 fams is 107.14 %. An increase of 7.14%! amazing! that is definitely going to make the game a lot more interesting!

as i said, an unsubstantial increase/drop, hardly relevant or at the very least not enough to justify taking away allies
