Inter coalition Forums.

I think a special place/ chat box/ forum,should be set up for leaders and officers of coalitions to talk directly to the entirety of an opposing coalition. This way smaller coalitions who need a majority of there players on at the same time can talk to other smaller coalitions without have to find and talk to the leader alone and be trying to set up coalition war solely through one person via pm's directly to his/her profile page because you aren't on at the same time.
1. If your in the main lobby and you want a cw go to some kind of a Coalition private massage so to speak to get in contact with the an opposing coalition. (useful for a quick invitation when enough players are idle in the main lobby)
2. If your in the opposing coalition main page, a Tab beside the"index" and "coalition" tabs or beside the "former member" tab dedicated to inter coalition complaints , invitations to a cw or other miscellaneous uses. (<-- this seems more practical to me personally because most people don't want to be idle in the main lobby and will join a game instead of waiting)

It isn't a problem for larger coalitions with higher ranked players to set up cw because they know each other and have each other on either the e list or their friends list because they have been playing for longer However with an easier way for lower ranked coalitions who don't know each other to play against each other it could get more people into competitive cw's and 3v3's with more coalition fighting and could make the cw experience fairer instead of having a coalition playing games against syndicate, state of mind or illy just because the leaders and players have been starved of a cw.
It can also help smaller coalitions losing its better players to more competitive, larger coalitions with a bigger/ better reputation because all coalitions will be able too cw at a closer rate to the top coalitions meaning that any coalition that is doing cw will stand a better chance of keeping its players because they won't be tempted to leave there original clan to join a clan that is doing far more cw's.

As a low/mid rank leader with all low/mid ranks in the coalition i have to hunt down a leader belonging to other coalitions and then send them a private message to there profile ,(because i have not been playing for long enough to know many leaders and i am not good enough to ask top coalitions to cw, most of the time they aren't even on line at the same time), with dates and times for a CW. Its just very inconvenient and alot of the time there will be no reply or you spend time trying to get a cw set up and most of those will fall through when one of the coalitions only has one person online because the others didnt log on for the agreed on times and/ or aren't competitive players.

Having a forum on an opposing coalition site would be a huge advantage because then instead of sending pm's to one person you could send a message to the leaders, officers and players in the coalition for everyone to read and judge whether they will be on-line for themselves.

To limit the amount of trolling on the site only leaders and/officers should be allowed to speak in opposing coalitions forums/ chat box that is if the idea gains any support or is followed through in any way.

Support.

I'm just a little confused. So basically, only if your a leader or an officer would you have access to a new tab...

Or...

Are you saying that me and another clan can open up a chat tabe where we can both communicate.

Either way I support, I just want a little clarification

thanks for supporting it, It would be really useful to be able to talk to allot of people instead of just one when trying to set up cw's
I'll try to explain what i mean here

i had an idea that a tab would be set up inside a coalition where members of an opposing coalitions leadership could talk directly to the entire coalition. So say i want to give night stalkers a cw i would log into your coalition page. At this piont i can see everything that is there already except now i can see another tab( inter coalition forum) in this forum on night stalkers page leaders and officers from other coalitions could challenge night stalkers to a cw, This forum would be used to set dates and times for individual battles, cancellations general banter or maybe make individual complaints about specific players etc.

Important to note is that all night stalker players can comment in night stalkers inter coalition forum regardless of whether they are leadership or standard player, < this is because when an invitation is given to night stalkers by ByrneTheWorld (BTW) all the players in night stalker are able to agree to play or decline but most importantly all the players in night stalkers are able to see that BTW are offering to fight them at a certian time on a certian day in a certain Time zone>. but only leaders and officers from BTW are allowed to comment in night stalkers inter coalition forum. < This i hope would reduce the amount of trolling from players that had a falling out in a game and are seeking retribution by being annoying, if a player in BTW has a problem with a night stalker that player brings there problem to me and i post it in night stalkers inter coalition forum and that player can defend themselves there or agree or whatever>.





Now the inter coalition chat box is a bit trickier because of the number of coalitions involved in the game i dont know how admins could incorporate it into the game with minimal work but i had a few ideas about it as well.

As before only leaders and officers would be allowed to make any comments in this chat option because trolling from other coalitions would be a real problem if everyone was allowed to make comments directly to a specific group of people like in the forums at the moment between illy evol tendo and a couple others lets just keep that in the public forums where everyone can enjoy it and where black shark can sell popcorn.

So a new chat option would become available to leaders and officers, kinda like a coalition private message type of thing. As a leader/ officer you can pick inter coalition private message , hopefully with a better name if introduced, and ask the entire coalition for a cw. People from the coalition can then reply directly to you and then they can use there own coalition chat to sort between themselves whats happening,
this would shorten the lenght of time it takes to get a cw organised because instead of finding one person who's in a coalition and asking him if there are three people in his clan who are free to play including a leader/officer everyone gets the message and everyone can reply for themselves if you get three replies that are agreements then you have a cw if you get more than 3 you still have a cw and everyone who agreed can sort out between themselves who is to play by using there own coalition chat. if you dont get enough agreements to do the coalition you move unto the next coalition in line.

There are also two ways that the coalitions could be displayed for the leaders and officers when picking which coalition to ask to fight,
1. like a friends list all the coalitions that you have friended so to speak will be shown in a separate tab the way your e-list and friends list is when you click the contacts button a coalitions contact button.
2. All coalitions are put into you contacts starting with the coalitions who came top and working your way down to the bottom of the table working off of how the last season went
Any new coalitions set up during the new season just go to the bottom of the list. That way the coalitions in the contact list wouldn't be moving up or down every day.Also coalitions can also play against the coalitions that are directly above or below them in the list and assuming that the coalitions are in the positions that sort our how good the coalition is . (1st is the best so they shouldn't have to play against the coalition ranked) majority of the games played will be even enough because you will be playing against a coalition who done around as good as your own coalition in the last season. < This is how the game would become more even with coalitions playing against equally skilled coalitions the coalitions with better players would have less chance to farm off of lower ranked coalitions because the lower ranked coalition leaders would be able to see where they are in relation to higher ranked coalitions but be at just as much risk of losing positions to the lower ranked coalitions.
This last comment isnt intended to say that all big rank coalitions are not allowed to play against new or lower rank coalitions just that consistently beating them is blatantly farming, if leader of lower coalition can see where they are in relation to the bigger coalitions they can then decide to stop playing against them.


sorry there is a lot of writing in this but i think i have cleared it up a bit, if i haven't or if I've even made it worse let me know i can try again to make sense of the idea in smaller doses.
some of this might look unrealistic from a programmers piont of veiw if it does let me know i have other way of simplifying down the intended outcome.

Ohhhh ok. That makes a lot more sense now, I just wasn't sure. He only issue that I have is your officers being able to see all of my other forum topics. Either I have a way to mask certain ones, or you can only see the one CW thread

My leaders and officers would only be able to see the new forum on your page.

Very good idea full support

Columna Durruti suggested this, but I believe it got turned down!

Excellent idea support, even just an extra tab that only clan leaders and officers can chat in to find cws would be very useful.

Only OP idea I heard this days.

didn't know that, sure if two people suggest it and both times it gets support maybe its time enough some part of it is put into the game. maybe.

Another idea i just had would be to put something like a capital L or O and the sigil of the coalition to the left of a name to indicate a leader or officer for a particular coalition so instead of shouting out in the main lobby chat box for a coalition war you could see who the leaders are and ask them directly for a game via private message. so be something like (L) (picture that comes up in coalitions page) dbyrne94; or (O) ( same picture) Major Ursa:
L for leaders and O for officers.

Agree and support
