| IRC Nickname: [Randy] Group: Raid Leader Posts: 5065 Member No.: 16 Joined: December 29, 2007 Total Events Attended: 499 | I nulled. I don't "prefer" one type over another - I like variety. Matched Ops- I hate and love these at the same time. This is how you prove you're more skilled than another clan, but at the same time all it takes is one member to d/c or get KOed to mess it up. If we're going to have more of these, there should be LOTS of instruction for those who aren't too familiar with warring. Full Out- Most times these rely on numbers rather than skill. WG has always been good at pulling higher than the other clan, but that's mainly because we war clans we know we can out-pull. These tend to be our best war types, but if we had a full out with tougher clans my opinion on this would change. PKRI- Depends. CWA PKRIS depend on skill and PvP PKRIS depend on half skill/half bank. My favorite is the time-capped PvP PKRIs because it's mostly skill. We haven't had these in a long time and I feel our members are slowly becoming accustomed to CWA. More of these please. --------------------   | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: bto Group: Emeritus Posts: 3815 Member No.: 196 Joined: February 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 332 | Matched opts practice and build core skills, and allow for the development of many strategies. This puts alot more emphasis on individual skills, though theres a ton of things a clever leader can do to push turn the tides. Fullouts assess what you learn from matched opts, and gives a clan a better measure of its numerical strength. These put less emphasize on individual skill, and more on organization and leadership. It generates a ton of hype, really works the clan into a frenzy, and is a good way to push the clan forward in the clan world. CWAPKRIs are similar to fullouts in the way that you test numerical strength and leadership, but there is slightly more emphasis on individual skill and consistant leadership ability. For building quality members, matched opts with raids is the way to go. Fullouts and PKRIs should be an uncommon occurance. I've always favored matched opts in both F2P and P2P with raids, with a rare fullout every 2-3 to push things forward. I generally dislike F2P pkris, but I enjoy P2P runins. Capped of course. I'd rather have a strong group of core, skilled members then a large group of people who get koed/cant stay organized -------------------- bto  Ex-WG Warlord  "It is our direction, not our intentions, that lead us to our destinations." | ||||||

 IRC Nickname: DG_Keanu Group: Council Posts: 4782 Member No.: 2033 Joined: August 25, 2009 Total Events Attended: 173 | Full-outs = 99% of the time we win if we outpull. Matched = You die, you die. Half the time we lose. PKRI = You die, you come back, you die. Repeat. And half the time we lose. It's blatiantly obvious. --------------------  [05:42] <+WG_Keanu> I think I got a semi just looking at the pic [05:42] <%kat> same | ||||||

Would rather never ever attend one, especially F2P where its just boring as fuck. Matched Ops is ok I guess, at least its evenish to start Full out is best though since it sort of shows the strength in numbers of each clan --------------------  | ||||||

I agree we win more Full Outs than the other types, but that's not always such a good thing. As I said earlier,
The only way to better our PvP skills is to war clans that are better than us. As the old saying goes "No pain, no gain" Judging from the PKRI vs DW, our members need practice and they won't get that by warring a clan 30 vs 20 where the result is obvious from the start. We need even fights or at least ones in which it's close. -------------------- | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Vephy Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 6186 Member No.: 813 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 478 | This poll makes me think we should do matched opts. Obviously people dislike what they are weakest at lol. Not necessarily leaning their strongly but we need to up our wars per week. Short prep, under an hour to do. Shouldn't be too demanding honestly. -------------------- | ||||||

| IRC Nickname: Vephy Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 6186 Member No.: 813 Joined: June 10, 2008 Total Events Attended: 478 | Just imagine for a moment, just one moment everyone that reads this. Imagine if we had our numbers we have now with excellent organization and experience. We would redoubtably be one of the top warring clans. Rethink matched wars. It is the ultimate test of a clan's levels, but also their fundamental skills in tanking and binding. We could have matched opts of three rounds so that everyone that comes to the war can get a turn as well. So it wouldn't be just our best guys improving on their own skills but everyone. Not thinking of just this at the moment... Soon we will be doing some drastic changes this week or near end of it or next. There will be more wars and we will be developing our core of strong warriors. -------------------- | ||||||
