War Member Toggle/Selection OR Opt-In/Out Toggle for Potential Participants

I manage HOPES ELITE (X8UVRQP2Q)...a wicked sweet awesome clan of laid back clashers (shameless plug). We farm mostly but war once a week to keep the game interesting and keep our offense skills refined. When weekly war rolls around about 5 to 10 of the members drop to our pit/limbo clan called HOPES PIT. This is a pit that was solely created for folks to drop down to during war search because they do not want to participate in war for whatsoever reason (i.e. too busy, vacations, Arch Queen/Barb King upgrading, low on resources, etc.). It is somewhat annoying to have everyone drop and get everyone back while trying to keep track of troops donated/received and re-promote people who have rank prior to dropping. It seems to me that this could be resolved in one of two ways.

1) War participant toggle/Selection: This option would allow the Leader (or Co) to select which clan members he/she wanted to take into war. If I knew that "Clasher #1" didn't want to war this week I wouldn't select him/her and then when war matching started it would only take into account the clashers selected.

2) Have an opt-in/out toggle on the individual clasher's account that they can select. It basically would grey out their eligibility shield and they would not be considered in the war matching.

Just a thought...

Thanks for keeping the game interesting and fun to play! (shameless butt kissing)

I posted something similar earlier, but first tried searching to see if anyone else had already made a similar suggestion, and I didn't see anything.

Thats such an exaggeration, you imply that over 2/3 of the posts on here are about this? No. I would like this just makes it easier for clan leaders to see who's met the donation/recieved requirements etc.

Its been suggested a lot of times but there was no need for that one guy to be a jerk about it. See if this info helps...

How it should work...

There should be a button (it can be a new one or the war shield can be modified) that toggles a player as in or out.

Access to hit the button to toggle should go to the leader and the player in question.
---- individual players cannot opt each other in or out
---- its an argument either way to give it to co as well - Good for clans where co is a management job, bad for clans that give it out like candy. (I consider the latter to be a sign of a bad leader)
---- A leader who abuses authority to opt guys in against their wishes are really just hurting their own selves for how they are adding a risk to their war participation. (the guy might then just not attack anyhow, if not seeing eye to eye with leader he wont care)
---- A leader opting a guy out against his wishes has that prerogative to decide who he wants in his war. And its still nicer than just kicking the guy like happens now.

The status of a player is only a factor right at the time a war starts. Instead of just selecting all eligible players from the total population it will just be all eligible players from the opted in group.
---- Can even implement by leveraging the existing eligibility functionality that currently is only driven by a timer.

After that everything works the same. The list of warriors from the clan is rounded to an even 5 via the existing logic and then the matchmaking calculation takes place also using the existing logic.

A player joins a clan with his eligibility set the same way it is today. (He is in unless there is a timer)


Things that would not happen -
...A player cannot add themselves to a war after the fact. If they change their status during a war it makes no difference until the next war when that status is read at startup.
...This would not serve as a way to replace members that take off during war. if they do that then there is the same affect on the war as there is today. Unused attacks stay unused. (it will never change that this just stinks when guys pull that stunt)
