AE Guild Mergers

I have been contacted by a couple other guilds interested in merging with us and have instead suggested allying, which has mostly been the outcome. My rationale for not merging being that we are a forum guild from the Halo Wars Forums. However, I realized that people in our guild might prefer to merge rather than ally. Therefore I have made this poll to determine how I should react when guilds want to merge in the future.

We r a forum guild. Y would we merge with someone outside our forums? I'm ok with allying with them but merging is goin too far.

Allie yes, merge no.

gold right mergings too far

but maybe if they joined the forum it might b ok
