Participation

[Houdini]

I know this probably cannot be implemented for this war, but for future wars I think the faction with the most players competing in a Battle Night should be given some reward. When a faction has more people playing, the likelihood of victory decreases because the best teams compete in less matches compared to the faction with fewer people. I don't think a faction should be rewarded if they still lose the map, but winning on a map with more people playing should give a reward to the winners because they had to overcome a handicap to win.

Example: Blue's best team plays 3 matches on a battle night because Blue had 8 teams online. Redd's best team played 6 matches because Redd had 4 teams online. If Redd wins they should not get a bonus because they had fewer people online, but if Blue wins, they should get a bonus because they had to overcome the handicap of playing Redd's best team twice as much as Blue's best team got to play.

No

No

Why? It makes sense to me.

[JamiDJ]

No

dont be so mean blackhawk;

this seems exciting, what kind of reward/bonus were you thinking?

[VerbotenDonkey]

That would mean we'd have to rank Squads on skill which most likely would never happen unless we get enough people to have tiers of Squads play against eachother ie noncompetitve vs noncompetitive, and competitive vs competitive, etc.

It only makes sense. In real war having numbers on your side is an advantage.

I don't really know. I just think it would add more incentive to get players active. If they know their attendance would help their team more, maybe more people would play.

For the reward, it could be something simple like a cR boost or an extra Brigade or something. I am not really sure what would be too much or too little with regards to the whole Rules of Engagement stuff.

while this is true, this is a "war-sim" and we can't make everything work like an actual war

I don't think you understand what I am suggesting. It wouldn't matter which teams played each other, it is simply that each faction has one team that is better than all of their other teams. It doesn't matter which team is the best for each faction (their would surely be lots of arguments), but their still is a "best" team which would get to play more matches if their faction has less teams giving the faction an overall advantage in the battles. If the smaller faction wins, there wouldn't be a bonus for either side; the bonus would only apply if the larger faction was able to overcome the numbers disadvantage and win.

It doesn't hurt to try to make it more like war does it?

while i support this, i have to agree with verboten, as it would take us ranking our squads, which is something no one wants to do at this time (its been brought up before)
