[Atrocities]

Ok here is an interesting scam that is or was going on.

You have an alliance of say 50 players. The thing is, only about 15 of them are really strong while the other 40 or so are relatively new nations. People would sign up as a new nation. Buy tech and infrastructure at the lower cost and then aid it to the nation on the tier above them. These feeder nations would continue to do this for as long as they could getting CN from the higher ranking nations to pay for the infrastructure and Tech that they would then aid to the more powerful nations up the ladder. One by one each of the upper tier nations would become stronger and stronger adding new nations to the upper tier as more and more new nations are formed and join the alliance.

This pyramid system is only one of the many exploitive systems that seem to plague the game. Although now that they have the only one nation per player policy in effect, the revamped aid system, limit on aid packages, and the limited aid slots this system is not as effective as it once was.

But with the tier system, a big pyramid scam, the system can be circumvented. Albeit it might take a lot longer, persistence and patience does pay a handsome reward.
