Okay, I suppose I'd better start maintaining a list of active goon alliances in the op. And uh, what the current size upgrade costs are? Post here or pm me to get your alliance in the op.

Pizza Dog 14/14 1500hp next upgrade
G.O.O.N. ? ?
Legion of Goon ? ?

Legion Of GOON is already to 5/5

Does it only cost hp for members to upgrade the alliance? Because on my end, it's saying something ridiculous like expand your membership to 6 for 600 hero points.

Or can I make everybody a commander and gain member slots that way?

That's what Pizza Dog's been doing. Everyone joining expanded their slots. I just had a whole pile of hp I was sitting on.

Yeah I got some HP stashed up. If there's any interest in taking AgentsOfGOON to the next level and you're committed to joining post your in-game name and I'll open up some new slots.

There are now alliance rankings in PvP with associated rewards. It's unclear if this will be in PvE as well but it is likely there will be something there for alliances too.

Did anyone else notice that the progression reward at 500 points has switched from 50 HP to 500 iso. I'm a little bummed about it as to gain the same amount of HP as before, your alliance needs to come top 250.

It's top 2500, not 250, which seems pretty doable. I mean, if you were consistently getting 500 points for the 50 HP, then your alliance should probably be able to get into top 2500. Are there even 2500 Alliances in the game yet?

Oops, yeah, missed a zero there. It does look like points for alliance rankings are just the members points added together. Bigger is definitely better.

I'm hoping it's the sum of the top 5 scores of the alliance, which would sorta make it more even for people who don't have the cash to spend on 20/20 alliances. It would still give larger alliances a benefit (bigger pool), but still allow regular alliances to have a chance at a top spot.

Haha, no. The point of the alliances is to for people to spend more time (because they will be pressured by the other members to do well) and HP in the game.

We're sitting at 14 slots now, it will cost 1500 for a new one but someone in the alliance has to buy that slot to open it up for someone to join.

I'm happy to buy a slot in the mighty pizza dogs if someone lets me in.

Okay, but I'd better be able to get back in when the rejoin timer expires! Get your buttons and HP ready.

Wait hang on, that wont work if no other commanders are online to promote. Sorry Brucie Beetle, you're the only non-commander in here, I'll kick you out temporarily, invite a few people in then they'll expand the slots. Rejoin when everyone's in.

There's a cap? That's probably sane. I was hoping for endless 1st place finishes. That 500 HP a pop is tasty looking.
