Re: Rule 8.4.1
It occurred to me this changes the strategy not only of those picking alliance, but those that feel they have slim chance to be picked. Before, if your team is ranked below 20 or so, there is barely any reason to be talking to the number 1 or 2 ranks about having them pick you for an alliance. This is where you normally would hope that the 8th ranked alliance might pick you as their second choice. Now if you find yourself in this position you had might as well talk to everyone and letting them know that your team still shines with potential, and is worthy of helping the 1st ranked team win the show.
As for if I like the rule... I don't really care what the rules are as long as every team abides by them and has every advantage and disadvantage as I do.
