TB Officers tools
Some people have tossed out ideas here and there in different threads, thought it might be a good idea to put them in one thread and then hit the devs with our ideas. Lots have people have mention...

Lock outs will never happen. Control freaks just need to accept this, and/or find more submissive guild members, but stop asking for it. It taints the entire thread with “unreasonable”. pretty much every other idea in here is great!
Lol, if I were a control freak I would have given up being a guild officer in exasperation months ago. "Zero damage means ZERO DAMAGE!" "Deploy south. The bottom one. Overlook!!". "We have no 7* Paaloos, once again do not play your chaze and wiggs there!"
It's like herding cats on a good day.
I've been urging a less-stress approach to TB, as well. Set up your rules, provide some casual guidance, maybe have a talk with the worst offenders... But honestly, epsecially with the GET income from the new special missions, one or two missed stars due to the seemingly inevitable numbskullery isn't going to make a huge overall difference in guild progression.
That's one of the biggest advantages to the shallow rewards curve for TB. The rewards start off pretty high even for low star counts, and the requirements for one-starring each territory is so low to begin with that we shouldn't really be killing ourselves to eek out those extra few 100k TP each phase.
That's the approach we've taken as well. Try to lay out strategy, reasons why we're doing it that way, and distilled it into short, easy instructions for people. I'm hoping this is just a teething issue, and that it'll go away once players are more familiar with TBs.
I'd prefer having per-territory messages so we can say things like "Combat and Special missions only. Do not deploy here. Platoons 3 and 5 are impossible." and "Deploy all units here, do all combat missions, all platoons open." It's a much softer touch than locking players out, and more likely to be seen by everyone, so fewer mistakes and weaker excuses for them :)
That being said, the new reward structure was easily the best thing in this release. More frequent token drops, better end rewards, more special missions. The praise for it likely got lost in all the fleet/shard shop controversy, but this was an excellent step in improving motivation and daily participation in TB. Now more stars are a "let's improve" goal rather than a desperate "we're falling way behind" one.
