Well, people have a right to join or not, they should not have to be in a possission were they have to chose or lose everything they worked so hard for, some leave game because of it. I know some who left because they were bullied into joining, some even force you to be friendly or get beaten. its a game people, no need to threaten members. most join to have fun not to be scared into joining an alliance, they may not want to join one at all. Play nice people its only a game.
