We ARE full of different political leaders. But none of them have supreme power over the Alliance as a whole, nor can they acquire it. That includes Mahon. He doesn't have a say on how a system is internally run.

Well, FD needs to flesh out PP again into a working proper and not exploitable destructive mechanic it is.
If they would kill any Powerplay character due to soem groups able to abuse the holes in the mechanic then this would be a confession of failure.

3 months without expanding.
Sorry, there is no imagination here. Patreus should have collapsed based on the hints given by FD on what leads a power to a collapse, which is the lack of expansions. That's way more than Torval's and Delaine's 1 month without expansions each.
You can talk big all you want, but it doesn't change facts. Just consider yourselves lucky FD hasn't implemented the feature yet.
But I forgot, stats don't matter when it comes to Imperial powers. Only how awesome they say they are.

227 imperial systems.
90 alliance.
Ours are bigger!
And if her royal cuteness ever decided to leave the boring Power Plays with the boys .. and boyish looking girls, I'm sure it would be to persue her musical career!

And yet 5 of them couldn't take back Facece against an indy dictatorship.
We knew there was no danger of collapse; if there had been we wouldn't have followed the strategy we did. The three months were spent making our portfolio better and refining our organization. You are not privy to patreus planning, only the reason for your own bitter sense of imperial hatred and how you think PP works or should work.
Be thankful the alliance hasn't been attacked yet. We all know that the number 2 spot is really the number one. The alliance might as well not be there, despite your big talk about it.

If you had any capital ships, you'd know how long it takes to program the jump computer.
Probably made from the same manufacturer that produces the docking computers...
I DON"T BELIEVE IT! Apos; lost for words and retorting to pictures.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Or so they say, but I'd rather I kept the spirits joyful and used that instead. I got some more important matters to attend to lately than arguing over Imperials acting high and mighty. It was fun and games while it lasted, but not my focus at the time being.

Yeah she could sing in that giant royal party donat transporter, because no matter what Feds do they will never have that style.

Fair enough (although I do wonder why you bother posting your salty opinions in the first place).
Good luck with your other focus.
The imperial cracker .. without salt, it would just be a bland piece of alliance bread.
(oops .. wrong empire )
(oops .. wrong empire
)Really? Can you please send some topics or something? I would love to read something about Alliance, right now they seem to be heavily underdeveloped. I can't remember when I last saw something about Alliance on GalNet.
That's correct, we have very little actual information. Only this. (and the other link I provide later)
But from some various here and theres, the main pylons are the Prime Minister, the President and the Council of Admirals. The Prime Minister and the President (who changes annually so that all systems get represented) limit each other quite a lot and thus the final decisions are never taken from a single person but from the whole Alliance Assembly.
The Council does have supreme power over their decisions, but there is no process to control it or enter it as far as we're aware. Each system has a responsibility to contribute a portion of their navy based on their GDP and the Council has the responsibility to protect them in a case of outside interference. The Council does not need to ask the P.Minister or the President in order to act, they are autonomous.
And that's where it ends. The Prime Minister and the President seem to be more like the ones who will get to soothe the spirits and find solutions on the disputes which will be acceptable for everyone instead of taking decisions that others are obliged to follow.
As you can see in that thread, the Prime Minister would need to be voted against by the member systems to resign. With the prosperity Mahon has brought to the Alliance, few systems would object to the wealth and protection they enjoy, while still being free to rule their belongings as they please. (as long as they respect the bill of human rights that you have to accept and sign in order to join the Alliance.)
It seems to be a thankless job really. Too many responsibilities, too few perks. On the bright side, that probably means that someone would actually want to move the Alliance forward to do it.

Really? You seriously need to look at what actually happens in PowerPlay. Mahon is consistently amongst the most undermined powers, and has been for almost all of PowerPlay's existence. Even when he was in the bottom five, he would get more undermining than the entire empire COMBINED, and that includes times when ALD and Aisling were number one.
It might look like we're not seeing any kind of opposition, but that's only because we've managed to stay out of turmoil for the last 28 cycles, and that's because we've worked our collective asses off every single cycle.
Cheers for clarification.
Its what i thought... but, when will it happen that powers can be defeated? Because so far it hasn't happened, despite a number of powers meeting the requirements to be defeated. As i recall, the requirement was for a power to spend several weeks in bottom place... that has already happened several times right?
