Re: Bigger PW Fams, PLEASE

Instead of 20 teams of 8, howabout 10 teams of 16? That way you don't have to worry about getting stuck in a family of inactive SS's and bankers that are never on IRC. With 16 people per family and no drafting, every family would at least have a small core of active players that could perhaps inspire their family members into more activity, and more importantly provide the socialization and comradery that really makes people keep coming back to play again. It would also create a better environment for new players to learn in and create a more addictive environment to retain them.

Re: Bigger PW Fams, PLEASE

no, we've been asking to reduce families size for a long time becasue the player pool is short, if you do it 10 fams then there's no competition as half the gal is napped to each other, plus allies, then we have just 1 or 2 wars in the round and people dies out of boredom. The biggest prove of this is when mods set a round of just 4 big families, it was insane and not fun at all, many chaos to lead a fam of 30+ people, lots of them going inactive, not getting aid at all, etc...

In the other side I would even do it 40 teams of 4, like one of those SD rounds but not HC, just standard rules

No allies in PW.
