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)
I thought about this once too, for the leader to be able to make a roster of eligible players to participate in wars but i think it'd start arguments between clan membersQuote:

the idea has been requested many times so far.
a lot of players have to leave the clan before leader/Co start clan war searching and then the players come back again after several hours.
the leader or co can select who are eligible players to participate in the war ( simply by check mark and then start searching ) and that's not a big issue for a programmers .
The idea is excellent but i think it would need some fine tuning to make it work as intended it would have to be set prior to starting the war search so the servers can get as close to a "fair" match as possible otherwise you would have leaders serarching with low level bases then switching them out for higher levels to give an advantage. I think you would have to make it so the war would still be the highest possible denomination of 5 bases your clan can support, example if you have 24 members it would have to be a 20 person war the leader would then have to set the 20 bases to activate then search for a war (wouldnt be able to choose a 10 or 15 person war)
I totally agree with this idea. It's the feature i most want added right now. There has to be limits though. Maybe something like you can't opt out more than 5 at a time or something. A 50 member clan doesn't need to be opting out 40 members for a 10v10 match, that's ridiculous. But for holidays, life stuff, needing to sit one out, I can definitely see a 30 member clan go with 25 for a war. Totally makes sense and would make a lot of things easier.
