You said yourself, the alliance as it stood before wasn't helping you at all. Remember that?
The way CF alliances were organized, they weren't working. They weren't doing what they intended to do. They weren't benefiting anyone.
So things were changed. It was a broken system, and now it's attempted to being fixed. I don't undertand why people are so upset about this. The alliance didn't benefit you (or anyone else), and so it was changed. Let the change take place, before you say it won't work.
If you weren't involved in the decision-making process that's too bad. But who is really to blame for that? This was all discussed openly on the #CFTravian room before anything was done. It wasn't a smoke-filled room at some anonymous motel. No one is trying to exclude you from the decision making process. Anyone who tries to be involved in it, probably will be. I wasn't involved based on my popularity here at QHCF. I wasn't involved basd on my past characters in CF. I was involved because I involved myself. The same can be said for literally everyone who's a part of the decision-making discussions.
