This is a different topic, but definitely something that needs to be discussed.

Keep in mind that both FMs have to be approved by WC even after the vote (unless we changed that). I'll give you the REV II BLUE FM elections, the 2nd war of REACH, for an example. Johnkilla won the vote, mostly due to popularity, but WC felt he wasn't quite ready for the position. So Max was placed as FM to help John easy into the position as he won 2nd place and had been in HC before. End result was John proved he wasn't ready and Max stayed FM for the rest of the war. So there are some fail safes to prevent the FM position to become nothing but a popularity vote.

Can confirm: Johnkilla was a whiny "I'm better-than-everyone else" teenager not ready for the position. :P
On topic though, I'd be willing to test out different time limits/score limits this week.

This is what FC needs to see.
Re: Change the traditional 15min time limit to something else?
Going to be honest, having the same stuff and tradition for 9 years is very odd! We need to make a change! Games change over time I mean look at Halo 5, but that's a little off topic I just want recruits coming into battle nights with better experiences rather than getting bored for playing 5 matches for 15 mins or getting completely slaughtered. Also I feel vets yes I'm talking to you! Is that maybe you should let some change take effect I understand things wont be like they used to be but we gotta change we need more people! So please think about it and at least let us test it!
Re: Change the traditional 15min time limit to something else?
I think the Vets that no longer take part in the war should take a step back and not vote. How can they possibly make any kind of informed choice for us when they aren't experiencing it. We need to shake off the overbearing nature of some people
Re: Change the traditional 15min time limit to something else?
Alright so, tbh, I'm getting real sick and tired of all the disdain toward the vets. Yeah they're not currently active. Life has a way of being lifey. They have a right to comment as much as you or I. It's a fucking opinion. That's what all this is, opinions. Do I think vets should not vote on polls? Yes. However, they can comment on the thread to make their opinions known. Free to disagree that's the beauty of an open discussion. Stop it

kk thanks for all the feedback no need to get off topic anymore :)
