For regular top 10 alliances like ourselves,that would be better. Oh well, i guess we can start grinding like badasses now.....right Djangos????? No?????

If this really was purely an alliance ranking change, the values should be bumped up to 300hp per alliance. I think the general playerbase is already getting a feeling of demiurge starting to nickle and dime us with changes to lr tokens and such, and implementing this change would further reinforce that notion, especially given how that extra hp given to the top alliances can't possibly affect the company's bottom line substantially. Also, I think all this change would do is that instead of people complaining about shield winning everything, people are going to shift to complaining about shield and 5dv winning everything. I don't see why it couldn't be something like 1st and 2nd get 300hp, 3rd to 5th get 200hp, 5th to 40th get 100hp, and 41-100 get 50hp or something like that. This encourages more competition without affecting lower ranks.

We have been around for 2 months and we have won more than zero but less than 2 events. That makes us great. Way better than those 5x5deadlydiseases. People should be scared of us, and not in the way normal people are scared of us. Yes we like to hide in bushes and frequent girls locker rooms but we can also play a great game. Maybe not this game, but we are unreal at Mario kart. One of these days, everyone will be too busy talking about those pesky SHIELD and 5x5deadlycontagions that we will sneak right up on you like a hungry pervert and win. Granted someone may be away on "holiday" but a wins a win. BE WARNED

I'd also expect that they're about to start "letting" alliances go to 25 soon. Them they'll scale prizes back a bit, but argue that more covers are going out so it's actually better, even if the covers are going to the people that need them the least and will all be sold (I wouldn't be surprised if - of the 60 GSBW covers SHIELD is liable to get - less than 5 get actually used). Then they'll scale prizes back again, but force alliance expansion again, and keep going with this until alliances don't have a size limit, and expansion slots are 5000 HP. It's hard, if not impossible, to come up with a "too cynical" explanation for the alliance system.
