Player Features and Ideas Discussion

As many of you probably already know, Dark Spawn Alliance was abruptly disbanded. As far as in-game politics, I'm okay with it, as it's part of the Eve experience; but I couldn't help but notice a glaring inconsistency.

As I sat in the station, deep inside Wicked Creek, it became apparently clear the alliance had been disbanded inside a few hours, with no widely distributed evemail alert saying such actions had been taken. What I also noticed was that my corporation's application to another alliance had a 24hour cool down period after acceptance. What seems obviously clear is the inconsistency in the game for the alliance mechanics.

How can there be a cool down period for joining an alliance; a corporation updating their faction standing; and even jumping through a gate after an engagement; but there is relatively nothing for a simple action that leaves hundreds, if not thousands of players, in a very precarious situation?

It seem highly illogical, within the boundaries of an internet spaceship game made up of it's own rule sets, to not have a cool down period, with a wide notification to all members, that an alliance is being disbanded in 24 hours; the same amount of time it takes to be fully accepted into an alliance.


NOTICE to all griefers (95% of you who play eve):
My critique is of the seemingly inconsistency between the cool down periods, as it pertains to joining an alliance and disbanding one, in regards of the enormous impact it has on players and SOV systems. I am not commenting on the politics, or consequences, of an alliance disbanding.
