War #3 - Feedback

[majofa]

I agree as well, I've always done this format: (Fire) majofa 2 - 0 notmajofa (Aether)

It's symmetrical and easy to read.

I prefer the current recording over the In-out recording because when recording rounds it is easier for me to match them to a pairing and now also, my goggle doc tool imports that record line.

I play a board game called "Small World", which has event cards as an expansion pack. All players get to see the current event and the upcoming event at the start of each round. Something like this would allow something like stroke of luck to be a bit more strategic and less random.

Not really a stroke of luck then is it.

The name still fits, if you think 7 is a lucky number.

the term "slaves" doesn't sound to nice to me..
might be offending to some ppl

I suggest:
- soldier
- warrior
- civilian (they get drafted all the time, so why not?)

I can kinda see where you're coming from but I guess that'd be more appropriate if we called it "a draft" instead of "an auction."  The fact that players are being "bought" might also seem offensive, except they are willingly placing themselves on the auction block for a game.  A game they seem to enjoy playing enough to get involved in the first place.  Some might wake take offense that it's called a "War" though outside of some rare verbal hostilities, there are no actual casualties.  So let's not take this PC thing too far.

I like the civilian idea best, it seems like it fits better too.

but i do agree that the Political Correctness should stop here.

Just a thought, but is it possible that War has grown far too complex and time-intensive?  It doesn't really seem possible to stock 12 teams with active players in this community for an event lasting multiple months.  This just means that some teams will be fine, and a bunch more will be incredibly overworked.  War is almost a 2nd job now when you consider the amount of time and energy required to pull it off.  Is that really what we are trying to create?  A system to massive and demanding that people need to devote several hours a day to it for the span of multiple months?  There seem to be penalties left and right for what amounts to bookkeeping mistakes, which is only going to serve to further discourage players on penalized teams from sticking with it.  Worse yet, many of the rules are so complex that new players can't really be relied on to fully understand them.  Complex rules just means even more is expected out of the veterans which just increases the workload on them.  Could this be why there has been such a rash of vets quitting and/or going inactive this War?

Somehow, someway the system needs to be simplified.  Smaller teams?  Less cards?  Less draconian enforcement of rules for minor errors that have no effect on the event?  Something needs to be done to make War fun again, because right now there is a far too large segment that seems to be finding it anything but and that's not going to get anything but worse moving forward and the system just gets more and more complex and massive.

Well, War is suppesed to be the most epic PVP event for vets...
In other words, you know what you sign up for.

There are other events and the weekly tourney for new players to play in

Epic doesn't necessarily have to mean complex though.
