Can the fixed times be removed and replaced with random times that change every week (Even on the weekdays)?

With the way it's done atm, a single spy can wreck our PvP focus entirely by leaking our PK times to other clans.

Besides, if we make them on random times, people will get used to short preps, and we'll have generally better attendance because we'll have a variety of people coming to each raid, not just the same people every week.

Please do it.

it's tradition to have the structured raid times and a single spy could get the raid times each week even if they changed, I know what your saying but it had been discussed before.

But with this current system, even if he's caught it wouldn't have made a difference. If we change it to the way I suggested, the damage would be gone.

You're right.
Our Current raid system doesn't seem to be working.
Most of them get cancelled because we're having other events.

If we use Mike's Suggestion, Wars & other events can be planned around the raids.
Instead of canncelling them.

You mean the raids can be planned around the wars and other events :$?

But i agree, sometimes people will avoid a raid, if they have short notice, and are online then they have no excuses.

That doesn't help.

PK Clans PK for +2 hours, any clan that knows our fixed PvP times can just come hit us any time.

Instead, we can switch them around weekly at different times, even on weekdays. While making sure that all 3 time zones have a raid planned at their time

There's pros and cons for having weekly times and changing times, I think this was discussed a while ago and we decided to go with weekly times.

Not during the anniversary we were having additional raids to our weekly ones anyway. I'm sure they'll start back up next year.

Whats the harm in having random PK'ing times? It's good practice for people to get used to short preps, it avoids spies, it gives you better overall attendance and you actually see people other than the usual 'gang' that comes to each raid.

Staff and Council replies, could I have some?
