I totally am questioning phoney shell alliances like The Five and (as JS LiamElms pointed out) Prime Orbital Systems. Those are the worst. The point is entering the alliance tourney should not be a simple case of paying 1 bil + 500m deposit. Just as entering the Olympics isn't as simple as me declaring my back yard a sovereign state.
Prime Orbital Systems is hardly phony nor is it a shell alliance. It has a proud history and when we realized that we could make use of it to have an opportunity at competing in the tourney, we took it. Good thing too, seeing as how our "main" alliance (who shall not be named), didn't get their application in time. So if it weren't for Prime Orbital Systems, we would not be competing at all. |

Flipside of that is you could have ended up taking a slot for your self-confessed "main" alliance and also a slot with POS your "alt" alliance. I don't think applying multiple times is a good solution to the problem discussed in this thread.

We initially intended POS to go to the tourney so that our players who may not have "qualified" for the main team could still have a shot at competition. However upon speaking to the guy who was in charge of sending in the main alliance's application, he wasn't able to do it until several hours after all the slots had been filled. So POS's application alone wasn't enough to have an impact. |

So you were in effect trying to enter 2 teams into the alliance tournament?
Nope, POS is corp-only, it does not represent the alliance as a whole. The point I was trying to make is simply that we did not "steal" the slot away from our main alliance.
