Choosing who goes to war

[Siwery]

This would be good if someone was afk in your clan and they would get 3 starred if the afk person was farming.This would also not choose weak people for war since sometimes most of them don't want to be in a war.Only leader and co-leaders can do this

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)

Or each player themselves picks if they want to be in the war or not, no one else.

I could live with that but I do think its better if its both the player and the leader. Sometimes the leader needs to get the war going at a certain time and if that guy is not online to do it they would have no choice but to kick or delay the war.

Can't delay it since you won't know if the person will attack beforehand.

If a player does not use an attack during war their status should automatically be changed to AFK for future wars. No need to kick them.

Agreed, and if they have a reason they need to skip a war (or want to reactivate back in) its better to tell the leader by setting their button. But stuff happens is why I would rather as leader be able to just tweak thing on the fly if I am looking to start a war.

Like I said, if they did it the way you describe I would get over it, that would still be a huge improvement. But I do think it would be better if leader could just click instead of kick for those odd situations. To me its all about good housekeeping as easily as possible.
