1 and 5 are fair enough, but your points 2,3 and 4 don't work in Eve, or at least not in the way you put them.
Do you know why no other alliance can field fleets as fast as BoB can, as complete as BoB can and as well-organised as BoB can ?
Because we do the opposite of what you are saying. We have a very few people that point ut at something and tell us when to go. Then we have a fair lot of people that will take leadership of our fleets without needing to be asked to or assigned squads, without discussion about who is going to be leading and without nonsense about seniority or ranks. And after that we've got a damn lot of pilots that will stfu and do what they need to, when told to but also when *not* told to.
We don't waste time on practicing, on having ranks, titles and a military structure. We simply go and do what needs doing.
The main reasson it works is because we mostly like to do what we need to be doing, or at least smart enough to know that doing what we don't like to be doing leads to us doing more of what we like to be doing later on.
The last thing ASCN needs to do is formalize it's organisation further. We'd simply dance circles around them while they have their "personal" command lines thing going on.
Just another summary of things. In any MMO the most succesfull entities are usually ruled with a IRON fist. The goals ideas and principals are spelled out. These entities seek out players that are skilled motivated and enthusiastic. Members who do not perform participate or cause problems are most typically given the boot. These types of entities are known as High-End or Elites the reason is their sole purpose is they strive for absolute excellence and domination over their game.
Thats BOB and thats who ASCN is dealing with. If a entity doesnt have that same mentality ( all go no quit ) and they come up against a entity like BOB they are destined to lose. It takes the hardcore to beat the hardcore if your lacking then you've already lost.
