ok i got a i dear for a Alliances Resources bank for all alliances that alliance members can deposit what thay can in to the resources bank when thay can the way it would be setup is all members can deposit resources but only the alliance owner and officers can with draw and send it to alliance members
ok to keep officers from exploitation the alliance owner will have to except the with draw

how the alliance will benefit
(1)it will help make a bigger fleet for the alliance
(2)it will help the alliance bild more mine,s and ships
(3) the more mine,s the alliance members have the less thay will need help
(4) the alliance will git stronger faster because the alliance members got more mines and ships so the alliance benefits from all these things
(5) to stop officers from exploiting/milking alliance bank all with draw will be sent to alliance owner to be excited or denied

Would you put your hard earned money into a bank if you didn't have the ability to take it out yourself but instead had to rely on a third party to not only withdraw your funds but then deliver them to you? Assuming the third party didn't drain the account before hand of course.

I don't think this is a good idea. With a seemingly high potential for exploitation as well as the lack of direct control over my resources just makes it less appealing with the idea as it is now. What kind of safeguards would be in place to protect the depositors and to prevent abuse of this bank by the upper alliance leaders?

I like the concept of having alliance funds but allowing the resources to be given to alliance members would be a way around the pushing/pulling rules in the game,

An alternative which I have seen be successful is the amount of funds that an alliance collects is the base for the ranking,
Have alliance rankings based upon resources donated with the same alternate ranking options (Fleet, Mines, Defense, research and a points ranking system option added (current ranking system) )

Base could be metal at a 4:2:1 ratio...

Would mean that players would have a choice, respectable alliance with high ranking or a nooby alliance with strong players :P

I like the way alliances are run currently though ;)

ok the safe gard is the owner of the alliance will have to expect the with draw

i fail to see the purpose of this really. If im putting in my hard earned resource, i dont want joe six pack getting it who doesnt log in, goes inactive, or lets himself be farmed. i can see hundreds of downsides of this, with zero upsides, and cypher brings up a good point of making it very easy to exploit.

joes maybe you could explain how this would benefit the game, or even the alliance.

OR, the people we've given the benefit of the doubt gain favor in your alliance, withdraw all the res, and leave the alliance, leaving you with nothing.

Yeah, but what if the alliance leader empties the bank, transfers the leadership to someone else, and leaves with all of the resources. What then?
