My Clan Wars Idea and More, In the Style of Mastermind

Of course checks would be in place. Perhaps the option to declare war will only appear if the clans are a fair match.

Why is it an elimination system instead of some kind of total count? Wouldn't large differences in each sides total members affect this greatly?

---

It could work either way. That was just my thought.

If people aren't eliminated until a revenge has taken place, that opens up plenty of issues. What if a player attacks but intentionally doesn't revenge? What if a player tries and tries to revenge, but never gets the chance? Can the defender attack any other emenies before revenging the first attacker? Can the original attacker still go ahead and attack other enemy members or must they wait until they are revenged?

---

If a revenge does not take place within the time period allowed, the attacker would win by default. Yes, just like you may attack or revenge people in any order now, those same options would be allowed. In this example, the original attack would not count toward the war tally.

These are good thoughts. They should be discussed.

How would a "fair match" be determined? Currently, there is no reliable measure for this in the game. Levels, trophy counts, TH levels, number of members, etc., are all easily manipulated.

This just feels like serious clans would start playing like champion league players. The key seems to be attack as often as you can and do as much as possible to prevent yourselves from being attacked. I feel like that could pose real problems.

Love the ideas..... Most defiantly the alliances with other clans.... I find I wonder how to fit everything into the small writing area for clan information. Great job!

I do not believe that any part of this idea has been ruled out. Keep in mind however, even if an idea is ruled out, that may not mean that it is ruled out forever. It simply may be that no one could visualize the idea well enough to put it into action.

So you are making the Mod's have an even harder job? It's easy, just post according to the correct sub sections, that is why they are there. You are just making it even more difficult for other people.

And you should try being an original, not copying people (Mastermind).

In all seriousness, I knew it would be moved, but guess what... Now there is a link, in General, to this thread. Not everyone checks all the sub forums.

It isn't a difficult thing to move one thread. How about leaving the modding to the mods?

Of course it will be moved, but you are still adding one more thing for the mod's to do. Don't they do enough? And what was it all for, just to popularize your idea?

It's still a waste of time. I run my own servers on several different games, trust me. Moderating can be a difficult job.

I love the idea!!! Nothing else to say. Just I love the idea!

I was once a moderator for a popular iOS game.

No, it wasn't a difficult job.

It's not like I did anything maliciously.

Thanks to those of you who have shown support.

For those of you who have critisism, or don't like the idea, thanks to you as well.

Discussion, both for and against an idea, can lead to better implementation.

Nice ideas Confuzed!

I like a lot of the features, including the alliance system. Have been working on Clan stuff myself and that's definitely an important feature to keep the social game thriving, which in my opinion is one of (if not the most) important part of the game.

Will re-read the Clan Wars section to get a better idea of the direction you wanted to go, but well thought out and explained so far.

Great pics too! Looks like you spent a good amount of time on them, thanks for making it easier to understand ;)
