Problem i see with our current system is 1 player with more free time can outscore five players of an opposing side and thus win. And our ratio of fighting actual war enemies and not randoms sucks.

So, we set up say 3 time periods for the war instead if one 48 hour thing. So for example, 4pm, 8pm and 12am (example times). Just make it so everyone in diff time zones can attend at least one event. Make each event last 2 hours. I know, toooo short, well the shorter the time, the more forum members on at the same time. Period.

Then we do one of two things. 1, only fights against forum members give points. More condensed times, more forum on forum action, more accurate scoring. Raises problem tho, how often will we get points because how often will we see opposing forum members. More often than before for sure, think its worth a shot at least.

Also have another idea. Again, complicated, but more accurate, and my opinion more fun.
Each cov starts a chat or uses forum chat day before fight. Those that will be at fight are listed, #1 #2 so on . So say its 10 in one cov and 8 in the other. Everyone fights their corrosoonding number via RSS. The last two for the side with 8 would have to fight 2v1 fights. Every kill is 1 point. Then the amount of participants and the teams skill would determine winner.

Could even forgo the set times, use the # system almost tournament style, give everyone a week to plan your match w your opponent and at end tally points, have a battle winner. Do this every week for 4 weeks, with different # orders (so diff people that can or cant make certain weeks can participate) after the 4 battles spanning a month, have a clear winner.
With the numbers, the civ leader determines the # lists, so strategy is involved too..do you place your best at top, to fight enemies best fighters, or at bottom to try to win the 2v1s?

Again, ideas, because I love the covenant stuff, the war ideas, but the system just doesnt work very well to me. I think a change, try something totally diff, see how it goes, tweak here and there, could be much better

As tou suggest Wyrm I have only been gravelording since you called me on it. Im not doing as well as invasions but I am getting one SoV every few minutes. And I PM all of my invaders asking them to please comeback so we can duel.

I have a new arch nemesis for the Archives now! He is damn good as well.

Viral, your score is legit, I'm just saying the GS were not doing their role, and you as leader should order them to GL as well as you too, and forget about scoring easy points.
