Shorthanded it is.

Shorthanding a TW will almost always give you an advantage, as has been shown many times in this thread.

Bar all the clearly irrelevant examples I've given each territory war this conversation has been active for. There is no way to guarantee an advantage is given, just as my examples are not proof that having the bigger guild is an advantage, there are other factors.

Fits the situation better. No intent.
Then we can focus on the real issue: whether the matching provides an advantage to the shorthanded team.

@thecarterologist958 @StarSon here’s one for you:

TW is optional in our guild. People don’t sign up if they can’t commit to regularly checking the board to attack.

The Christmas TW we had our lowest ever sign up total of 44/50. Yay! Advantage us, right?

No. We faced a guild who were in the top 150 total GP (247M) against our 226M. 20 slots per zone so only 39/40 of them signed up. We were well beaten. Not annihilated, but a good 200 points behind them. They cleared our board in 3 hours, we cleared their’s in 23 hours.

Going in short handed doesn’t always give an advantage, because there’s nothing you can do to prevent being matched with a better guild who are going in even more short handed!

25 for max rewards? Now I just need to find 25 other guys who sit out and let the rest of us sandbag... but they all also have to have 5m gp to help in tb and do 600 a day.

Looking for 25 members to join us and sit out tw if anyone wants to collude lmk we got room if u got sand we got bags. Have a feeling no one will ever respond but apparently it's a thing I'll keep u all posted on the status.
