Just a quick note guys. Yes you do need to show your capabilities at wars, but remember over-doing it with wars does indeed lead to a slump. I mean, short prep matched opts are fine usually, like 1 hour or 30 minute prep, but having a lead-up to 'ANOTHER' war isn't really great for the clan.
Take the CWPL for example, we over-did it on the wars a hell of a lot, and by the end of it we'd halved our activity. We don't want that to happen again. A big part of leadership both in the real world and on rs is to learn from your history.
2 maybe 3 wars with a prep per week maximum really, and on top of that two 1 hour or 30 minute prep matched opts would be acceptable also. Remember you could always have a 30minute PKRI in CWA
