Yeah, I suppose that's true it'd likely fall apart from in-fighting. Although I was thinking more of a decentralised structure with no leader. A mutual goal is only shared, nothing else.
Just to give an example of an issue that
may will arise; AFF is the oldest existing community, second
to no other only to Aspergia, and with the largest population after WP; AFF should have authority over the Alliance.
Now, I'd never claim that - too much hard work - but permutations of that would arise.
(Is Aspergia even still running? WP and AFF both sprang from that seed, WP following AFF by a matter of weeks, but...)
