Weird or Stupid alliance rules you've seen

Yo guys, I've been in an alliance like 6 months ago, and they had a rules like, only the alliance officers has to fight the aq/aw bosses, it's stupid you know I have to wait until they finish the boss, one time I defeated aq boss (because only one hour for aq to end) and they kicked me out. Anyone experience something weird or Stupid like this??

Lol, that's a big red flag, good thing you got out of there 🤣🤣🤣

That is a incredibly stupid reason for a kick, yeez.

I have friend that said their ally don't take suggestions for Aw from members except Officers. And warned a guy when he informed the other member that his lane is open in Aw chat

Lol,people take this game too seriously. I was once kicked out because I took down the boss in war with one linked node left (unblockable sp2).
Since then I play only in retirement alliance where there zero pressure to be active and play 24/7 and without any ridiculous rules.

"Join AQ or I'll take your Ipad away" works ok for me at the moment but limits my ability to recruit beyond members I had the foresight to create in advance.

I have read the exact story before, have you commented this on any thread?
Deja Vu!!

I went on vacation...told them ahead of time. Told them on this trip i was proposing to my girlfriend...got kicked cause i wouldn't be able to participate in AQ...

Hence, why i believe AQ is broken. People treat it like life or death. Ive recently found a great and understanding alliance though.

I don't recall having any issues with alliances I was in, but my current alliance kind of doesn't have rules yet

Kicking someone for beating the boss in a quest that's about to expire is a special kind of evil, though

"Only X type of people are allowed in the alliance".

The X being something completely irrelevant

I was in an alliance once where officers and leaders would call you on line if you weren’t moving in war or aq, no matter what the time of day it was where you live. So I’d get a call every night at 3am about not moving since 11pm wondering why I hadn’t moved.

OGAvenger

How dare you sleep when AQ is on! This is why I require my alliance to move within 30 seconds of gaining energy in AQ or AW. If they miss the window they get the boot!

Honestly we might have let you go, assuming it didn’t jeopardize war rewards you earned. BUT we would’ve brought in an alt for a cycle or two and you would’ve left knowing you had a spot waiting for you when you returned.

I’ll tell myself that’s different. Maybe it’s not. I dunno. It also matters less now that map 6 has fewer lanes, though.

Sounds like the alliance run by 10 year-old kids

So what you're basically saying is because I took the boss with the linked node attached, it made all their hard work to go to waste?? I could understand that if because of the attached link it would cause me or someone else to spent resources and lose the war because of it, but that was not the case. Maybe some people will see it as a justified kick, but I think those people take this game too seriously. And that's fine, everyone and what works for him.

I mean, is that a bad reason though? You should have left off your own accord tbh, not expected your ally to carry your weight, just my 2 cents.

Doctorwho13

Alliances are a symbiotic relationship. Your point, to me, would be at odds with the very definition of “alliance.”

People aren’t just there to serve the alliance. The alliance has to serve them as well.

The build of AQ is that you need ten people to complete a map. A single person unavailable causes 29 others to lose out on rewards. The alliance has 2 choices at this point
1) go to a lower map everytime anyone goes on vacation
2) remove said member and replace, and bring him back after the vacay.

Tell me which one would be easier?
Personally, in my ally, folks still do aq on vacay, they log in 3 times and its over. Unless a really bad situation arises, which in case, they opt to leave, rather than burden their friends, which is what the person in question should have done.

Skiddy212

Yea its not on them to cover for me, but can I not go on vacation an enjoy it? Why would I also leave an alliance I liked because i want to do something other than the game? I don't really want to go on vacation just to be looking at my phone playing a game ya know? I got on, placed my defenders got my daily, enjoyed my vacation.

My point is, there are some that look at this game as the only thing you should be doing. An AQ is the #1 fault of many alliances freaking out about that.

Skiddy212

That's definitely a better approach i guess then not telling me an kicking me after i gave them a very advanced notice

pseudosane

Then do the right thing and leave them, take a break, and not expect 29 others to have to take a fall for your vacation. Is that tough to understand? YOu dont want to have to look at your phone, totally understandable. But why do you expect 29 others to have to feel the effects of your vacation?

Skiddy212

There are more then enough members to cover for AQ though. An we were running map 5 at the time. I don't know, I don't see the freak out of missing one member for 4-5 days (i left in the middle of an AQ cycle too, so not even the full 5).

Again, wasn't the right alliance. I found one that balances life/game and understands as time went on. I guess i was just in the wrong alliance for what i wanted is what i learned at the end of the day. I love the game, and contribute consistently but i value alot more than getting my path cleared every chance i get in AQ.

pseudosane

Well, i dont do map5, so i wont comment how many people are needed for a full clear. That said, seems like you should have had a full conversation with your leader and sorted this out.
Glad you found a better fit. Communication in the end is key in every alliance.

Skiddy212

Agreed, it worked out in the end

BigBlueOx

It is unfortunate that you are faced with the “need” to play a game while on vacation for alliance reasons. The right thing to do is to see if you can find a temporary replacement for that time period and step aside but agree that this is one of the things that makes alliance play have a cost in real life, and why things like QoL balancing is even a topic.

Would love to see increased AQ energy allowing for map completion in 2 or less logins. Links on bosses and minis to be capped at 6 or less with multiple lines able to take down links. Things that can be used to make alliance play less time specific demanding.

Berlad8

We pretty much say the same thing,just from a different point of view. I understand what you're saying, I just don't agree with that, and that's why I think those people take the game too seriously. I'm not saying this as a bad thing, it is what it is.
Some people enjoy playing under pressure 24/7, and some people don't. This thread is not about who is right or wrong, but about the experiences of people who think they were kicked for ridiculous reasons.
