Alliance for Progress Impediment​

(A.P.I.)​

The Alliance for Progress Impediment aims to prevent the undue development and misuse of land, as well as prevent the emotional and economical damages presented by new settlements. New hamlets and towns are sprouting up everywhere, and these are a danger to the sanity of Herocraft.

As Edward Abbey once wisely said, " Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell. "

This quote is an inspiration to the alliance.

We aim to prevent unnecessary growth (new hamlets, guilds), by whatever means necessary. They cut off funds, and de-centralize the member base away from current towns. In fact, an interesting statistic shows that +16/38 hamlets/towns have 15 members or less! The horror!

Think how those members could be used more productively in larger, more established towns and hamlets!

Remember when Cities and large Towns were operating on past maps? Remember when there were actual functioning Kingdoms? Those gave our much loved heroes satisfaction in having a place in a functioning community. Sadly, studies by our A.P.I. scientists show this is just not possible with small-scale, struggling, and badly managed hamlets.

Do it for the people!
Do it, for the greater good.
Do it for the taxes!
If you wish to join the cause, post below.

Oh, and focus fire on U.C.T.G.

So is your aim to stamp out new guilds and townships before they can form? Doesn't seem very nice to me.

please note he got the achievement "killed the good guys!" and i agree: too many hamlets!

Not only are there too many hamlets, but there are too many hamlets that are not productive nor contributing in any way to the community! In fact, an interesting statistic shows that +16/38 hamlets/towns have 15 members or less! The horror!

It's been done before. I'll do it again.

I do agree that there are too many hamlets, and that there should have been a hard limit set at 20-30 maybe, but I would only ever destroy an Evil town, never a Good one, maybe the solution to all this is forming more kingdoms, or forcing hamlets into already existing ones with shows of force.

 

[HolyRane]

or not complaining about how bad lightforge is... oops did i say that

 

[Aetosion]

Edit: DAMNIT Holy, ninja'd my post.


Or, we can do it for the greater good, and kill them off equally? How does that sound, eh?

With all the stimulus members that areabsorbed into all those small dysfunctional hamlets, your town of Lightforge with its dwindling memberbase will soon ... *POOF*.

Keep this in mind.

 

[WoleverEntun]

Lightforge has 34 citizens, up from 25 last week and the reason the others left was to form an allied town funded by us

Same difference. To clarify my personal opinions, not necessarily reflective of the views of A.P.I. as a whole- the Good towns are the least productive, most boring, and most likely to make split off Good towns so they can feel like they have power. Which they don't.

A prime example is your split off town.

This has all been confirmed by A.P.I. funded research scientists from the prestigious Berklinham and Morray Institute for the Statistical Sciences.

I know it is too many small towns that only is there and don't do anything, but if people want to live in these towns just let them do it, and if enough people do it, the town gets big and they can do something.
My point is:
Let people do what they want, people know it exist big and small towns, most of the people also know that it is much easier to live in a big town when it comes to raids, and such things.

 

[Aetosion]

I would agree that basic personal freedoms should be maintained. However, these small towns are a threat to the community of Herocraft, we must put a stop to this dangerous epidemic!

 

[HolyRane]

Yes Aetosion.

the diffrence wit this formed town is we took ( no offense) most of the better PvPers, builders and town members to this town. yes we only have 13, but 13 good members beats 22 newbies. and holyrane i don't think you should be criticizing other towns when yours fell within two months. oops did i just say that?

 

[Aetosion]

Identify these "better PVPers", I found none on your citzen list.

Regardless, this is a situation which needs to be dealt with.

 

[c12095]

Part of this is due to the fact that taxes arn't implemented yet

 

[Aetosion]

That's actually a very good point. While the Admin team is working on reimplementing taxes, let us levy our own fee. 300c a week for a hamlet to be safe from threats to the greater good, how does that sound?

It should be paid direct to the A.P.I.

hehehe extort the server population! I knew we were a good influence on you all
