A Basic Guide for Off System Wars

Excellant guide, I recommend it to anyone entering OSW for the first time.
On that note I don't believe SDP is important for anyone with >100 bil in allies. It just isn't economical. The ammount of steals required to take 50% of a MP strip is, roughly, the same number of hits as to burn that value in pots. For that reason targets with mp allies and SDP are more practical to burn than strip.
 
Once the target has been stripped, it is the job of the spy build to take their money as fast and as efficiently as possible. Basically, this is the time that spies will want to use spy attack pots (if necessary) to gain the maximum number of successful actions. Crystals are also an excellent idea to use.
Here is an example of how a spy strip works:
Target A is sleeping soundly with only 7 spy defense pots (sdp). The stripper takes 100 billion in allies (this is an even number and an easy one to work with). Each successful steal takes around 1% of the gold that Target A has out. So, at 100 bil, the target loses an average of 1 billion per steal. As the player has less gold, the amount stolen lessens as well. At 75 billion, the target loses an average of 750 million per steal. At 50 billion, the target loses an average of 500 mil per steal. The 1% is an average and not static, as it is based on several factors. The larger the spy, the more is stolen. The smaller the spy, the less is stolen.

Not 1% It's 0.1%, so 0.001
(Note: Clarification- The higher the combined stats of the spy who is stealing causes a greater % loss to the target (defender). The percent difference is variable between .08 and .16% on average. A complete testing of this has not been done, but it averages out to around .1%, and for the sake of simplicity, .1% is an easy number)

This is accurate

You lose 25% with 180-360 steals, depending on the size of who is stealing from you. So unless you're a clan target or are in a 1on1 that lasts more than a few hours, it's best not to bank your gold.

(You lose 50% with 440-870 steals and 75% with 870-1800 steals, also depending on who is stealing from you)

Great thread but can you or someone make a complete osw guide. Including stuff from osw terms/slangs to osw builds. Meaning a guide that includes almost everything to do with osw
 
It would be a great idea if Kaw make Estoc war trials for low stats like me, where we can receive small equips, but it will only last for 3 Weeks. I'm just suggesting this
