Just some thoughts that I think would help wars out. 1. Ladder system A. Everyone on the system starts at 1000 pts. B. Make a challenge against another clan. Set #of participants 10-15-20-25-30-50 set (selectable) duration of war 30min 1hr 2hr(selectable). And desired starting day/time. Ability to cancel the war 12hrs prior. After 12hrs a forfeit has to be cast. Then you get points for win/or forfeits from the loser going to The winner. And climb up in points. C. Once both parties agree on the challenge; ebs stop :15 min before the war start time. And the war starts right after that. 2. Instead of losing your clan perms that either couldn't war or show up 10mins after the war starts; and wasn't signed up for war; allow the eb to continue for them. That way they aren't locked down for a couple hrs. And just the locked in war peeps war each other. 3.Everyone should be able to designate a War arranger for his/her clan. That way if clan a wants to war clan b they know who to contact. And they can pre-arrange before making an official challenge. What turned me off these types of wars beforehand was your clan and the other clan had to be at rest and during the challenge until it was accepted was pure boredom down time. This way you can still run your clans day-to-day operations as normal, schedule wars and be productive. Includes all type of people who kaw for all reasons. 4.Mith payouts could be the same as is. 5. You could have a higher tier ladder for advanced clans. And a lower ladder division for beginners (that can move up after each season 3-month seasons). 6. Must be in your clan for 24hrs before being allowed to war with that clan. Makes being a regular or perm member have a little more meaning. Longevity Bonus for players staying as a perm in a clan. Maybe a war bonus of mith on top of the war payout. Would make putting a war clan roster with team unity, pride etc. easier. 7. Being #1 you can't dodge a tough matchup just because you don't want to lose your position. After 3 failed challenge match ups a war would be set up on the format lines of EE war times currently and if one of the participating clans can't make it they would have to ff causing a loss, and a loss of points. (Might drop 1, to 2 or 3) a 24hr buffer between challenging the same clan, to keep from abusing challenges made to just cause FF. I can elaborate more, or answer questions if I left out an aspect. Just shooting from the hip. Thanks for reading.
Part c. The eb stops for those warring; would like the eb to continue for those not warring and warring participants can/could resume where they left off. 12 hr eb 1hr war.... Still plenty of time to help.
