One person can beat several alliance members and shield, each of those can then either retreat to push the shielded person higher or retaliate to earn free points without any loss. Points up to one level are easy enough to earn back so can have many 'grunts' pushing the 'officers' up to sky high levels and still pulling very strong finishes themselves with the net effect is several people with top tier scores and some people with otherwise impossibly high scores leading to an alliance average that would be much higher than a conventional alliance could manage even if full of very high level players. Still involves a lot of spending/organization/motivation/drive/competitiveness that seems mad to most but what they are doing clearly works for them, so good job?

I only mentioned Xmen because they are the largest group of players I have personally seen as they are the only multiple alliance team I have seen. Relax, I'm just asking if such a thing is possible. Also, you would never need to shield the alt. They could just get wins against people not in the alliance to get points back. And saying it might be expensive means nothing, there are people with 10 cover Nick Fury's for pretty much no reason. They just have money/HP to waste.

I understand that money alone may not stop people but when you throw in the fact that it would take double the time, money, and effort of the way it is done now... Why would anyone even bother? Furthermore... You can't keep an account unshielded above even 800 points without it getting hammered down. Your alt at less than 1000 won't even give you more then 2-3 pts per retreat/loss. If everyone spent more time playing lightning rounds to buff their rosters, more time organizing their current alliances, more time communicating and playing with their group and less time trying to out think the room we'd all have higher scores
