Before talking about the subject, I would like to say something slightly off topic... Is it just me, or do women make the best evony alliance hosts? All my favorite alliance have been run by women, and all the worst ones were run by men... I don't know why that is, but i only just noticed it. LoL! I would rather have a male boss at work instead of a female one, but I would rather have a female alliance host than a male one... Haha! LoL! Maybe it's just me...
Anyways... back to the topic.
A host works for his/her members, and not for his/her own agenda. Therefore, a dictator host will either lose members, or lose sanity. :P Control freaks make the worst hosts
To hold the alliance together, the host needs people who closely support them. So it would be preferential if the host already knows and trusts the members he chooses as VH and presb. Skype chat rooms are always helpful, because it can help bond players together, so it's not just evony that keeps them interested in eachother's wellbeing.
One member, and one member only should be left to deal with diplomacy. And likewise, one member and one member only should each receive the delegated responsibilities of recruiting, and war. The host serves merely as a figurehead and reference point.
Of course, everyone mistakes, and this includes hosts. They must be given the benefit of the doubt, but also messaged with issues... not gossiped about privately. Above all, the game must be played with a fun attitude... taking it too seriously never does anyone any good. Even if you are dropping $1000 on the server, playing the game as if you enjoy it and want other too as well, is going to get you a lot further with other people than if you seek to dominate everyone and everything that moves.
Oh, and before I forget, positions of leadership are earned, not demanded.
P.S. Sorry about the rambling... I've had way too much "V" energy drink tonight, so organizing my thought train to make any sense was a little more than difficult. LoL!
