I guess I probably should have replied to @ iAcid instead. (lol)
A fun game is made better, when you play it with friends... whether you're competing against them, or all acting as a team -- to me 'alliance' is just a synonym for team.

To me, alliance is just "We're running out of people to kill. Should we start a friendly competition with one another?"

lol!
Okayyyy, that's not at all my experience.
The games that I've enjoyed the most, were on-line war games where people would form into groups (Alliances) within the structure of the game.. often up to 100 teammates, and you'd try to dominate your world/server as a team.
The people on your team would often become considered decent friends... One crazy game I played, we would share cell phone #'s so if someone was under attack at 2am, someone could call them and get them to log in and defend.
Madddddneeeesss, right?!
But great times.

Mmmmh that's an interesting point Squirrel. I find, technically, an alliance is my team when they are WITH me but not when their not. Overall they represent, and promote someone else. What a riot 100 team members 2AM. You know it Squirrel! The enemy has called in their forces on us when they are cornered but my team has never been that organized. It was obvious tHeY called for back up because the players they called in were not playing at their regular times. Also, you can tell they are slower than usual maybe because they are not fully awake or ready to concentrate yet LOL.[Wanna a gallon of COFFEEEEE? Too late your dead] I remember this day after a 3 week severe domination we finally united enough to revolt.They called in mega amounts of their team at around 6 am they all came in and seriously did NOTHING.. just floatin' around probably wondering what iACID's said, "We're running out of people to kill. Should we start a friendly competition with one another?" LOL. Cut and dry teaming has alot more action and alliances can become yuMMy looking removable obstacles. Yet ón the mobile platform WITHOUT a tightly organized Clan I find the benefit of Alliances outweighs the risk, even If they do tend to drift into practice or self consuming sessions . [Once the whole server was pretty much my team and we ate ourselves and it was just sad]. I will find a way to organize like that on mobile servers then I will not have to spend so much time on helping alliances who might even be feeding the enemy, inadvertantly. Yet, then again, until then it sure is great being in a bubble struggle and having a random Alliance choose you to shoot their mass into instead of them. I am hoping joining agf will help me organize and run a tight ship on the NA mobile ag servers. I have a friend who stopped playing agario. We would text or call each other to times, strategies and approximate coordinates to meet up on the server regularly. It makes all the difference.

Maybe I should have specified better. I'm opposed to alliances, only in [agar.io]. I've played a game called Grepolis in the past, and that was hella stressful when "[you were] under attack at 2am" (Squirrel). I would only ever play that game again on a slim chance depending on who I'd be playing with. If it's too fun, it's dangerous. And that's what Grepolis is, but alliances in that game make it so much more fun. Alliances, NAPs (Non-Aggression Pacts), Enemies...

Yes!! That kind of game. Alliances, trying to get decent players... coming up with good strategy... feeder alliances, so that you always have near 100 decent members (lol)... making friends and sharing info with those you trust... and having a blast.
It can be stressful (or dangerous) if you get too competitive, and get addicted to it.
But you end up making a bunch of game-friends, you talk a lot, and you make some good-ol' game-style war on the ones that weren't smart enough to join your team. ~grin~
And then there were ... alliance mergers... alliance splintering (when the 3 leaders each take some players & start their own new alliance, lol)... alliance backstabbers, spies, and good ol' fashioned alliance drama! (lol)
I played Grepolis for about a week or so, as I recall, didn't get into it enough, because it was a few steps less complicated than the last game I'd played. And I think the "free" mode really didn't allow for communication. My games must have communication... (Because the people are always better than the game. From the sounds of it, and her profile, I think Alyssa can relate.)
I would play another one too, if I could find one that I liked.
