Thank you for pointing this out Dough! I believe it's not up to one grumpy leader to decide if 30 other people should have fun..

Oh wait I forgot I'm the only one who's only participating in 1 user cov...

ha grumpy leader

LOL

Anyway here's a list of who controls what atm.
NK - Archives
GS - ToG
DS - New Londo
LH - PW
CGS + TGoO - Oolacile
Followers - Izalith
And I think'd be cool to give each area a bonus. Now obviously that would require a lot of effort to keep them all balanced so it may not ever go into practice, but anyone have ideas for the bonuses?

I could think of lore reasons to make each area be worth a set number of "bonus" points easily. Unique bonuses is a tad bit harder.

The LH is no longer a democracy. Decisions are made only between the Hand and the CMs.

LH was never a democracy?

This should be fun, plenty of new noobs to ravage. Nov. 23 is a bit late though, shouldn't we be destroying the complete amateurs on like, the first week of November or something?

Wait a second. have I been misinformed all this time! I thought wars were about fun but the way its being talked about points that count for nothing are the most important thing!

Of course dan, e-peen waving contests are much more important than actually having fun! We need to show off the biggest number and brag about spending the most time playing! So pull a 48 hour marathon so you can brag about "winning"!

In all seriousness though, I think there should be a points cap, but a high one, so that a covenant has a maximum number of points they can score without some people going insane over it then bragging that they won.

Right, bonuses for each area. Tell what you think and if some are OP.
Archives - The Tactician's Eye: Using the book's of the archives to study the tactics of war, the owner of the archives has great military knowledge. Once per war they may declare an hour of game time in which their side scores double points.
ToG - The Grave Tunnels: The dead have tunnels everywhere. They can travel underground, faster than any army. Each member of a covenant who owns the ToG may choose to start the war an hour early go finish an hour later.
Oolacile - The touch of the abyss. All of us have a dark side. Once per war the owner of Oolacile may delcare an enemy covenant. For 1 hour all the points the enemy scores count for Oolacile. (Please be sportsman like about this. Don't log off or ignore it)
New Londo - Hated Enemy: There are foes that are so despicable, your men will fight harder to kill them. Once per war you may designate a 12 hour period. In this period anyone from an enemy covenant you kill is worth 1 extra point.
I did have one fo rizalith, but got it confused with the oolacile one and forgot it. Im open to suggestions.

While that would be fun, it doesnt give anyone much time to research the area nor find out the appropriate soul level and make a build for it. And with the BB gone that will take longer. And then organising a war takes a lot of effort. 5 weeks is what Im comfortable with and I'd rather not go any shorter.

@Dan it is about fun. Which is one of my reasons for saying no to a points cap.

the Far East Trainers wish to enter this war, on the side of the Noble Knights. That is if they will have us a their campanions.

New Londo bonus so they can score 2674 points Dough???? You crazy???

it never ends with you wrym does it :/

How often do we encounter people from the other covs Wyrm? And I could limit it so they have to specify an enemy cov specifically (i.e. NK, GS etc). Those are only ideas.

to me the special area perks are nice, and they bring a lil more to the war for past participants. some sound a lil OP though like said above

The ideas are cool, the Oolacile one seems a bit unfair though. And Nov. 23 is Thanksgiving for me, I'm spending all day with my family on the 23 and going back to school on the 24th. I highly doubt many of us will build from scratch for this, and the DS 55's can invade anywhere and are built generally to be competitive with higher levels. Since you need to beat S&O to get access to the new areas, I'm suspecting SL will be 50-80 like the other Lord Areas. Thus, we could make this a SL60 or 70 war.

I'm afraid I can't change the date for one person. If I want to move it I have to move it a fortnight forward or back which is either too far away or too close imo.
That level range looks good though.

I like this sort of area bonuses

though maybe it should be harder to steal other peoples base areas.....

It will be harder. It wont be as simple as attacking an area and winning once. You'll have to win 2 or 3 times by a certain amount or fulfilling some objectives.
