Tw sandbagging and Total defense spots

Yeah your point is that it isn't fair that you don't get more spots because you assume you will tie. By limiting you to 25 spots that means that you have more attackers yes, but it also means you can use some stronger chars on defense and use that to your advantage to help prevent them from clearing. You having more people gives you an advantage any way you look at it. You have a better chance of atippimg them and preventing them from clearing. If you are going to simply assume you're gonna get cleared maybe you need to worry about your strategy. If you faced a guild with 50 people in and got your 25 spots it isn't going to stop them from clearing your board and you ending up tied. You're crying because the advantage you're getting isn't the one you want. If your strategy is good you can win any way you shake it. This is PvP, sorry there is no simple auto win option for you, if you're that upset go play a game with no PvP because you're never gonna get handed a win.

I agree but combined if you have but if combined 50 is equal to the other teams and then 25 if your guys don't show up how is that the other guilds problem? Need to crack the whip on your guild.

This is the equivalent of the penalty shootout in football, where a team with 11 players against a team with 10 must nominate someone to sit out the penalties so that the team with fewer players don’t get the advantage of their best penalty takers going earlier than the others if it gets that far. Except on this occasion you can send in your best more frequently than if it were 25 slots.

Just prior to the second TW our Guild had someone leave for personal reasons, someone rushed into hospital for an operation and someone who couldn’t register as they were in a remote location with no internet during sign up.

That put us on 47 and we had a max defence slot of 23.

Imagine our opponent still had 25, as you’re suggesting would be fair? What possible motivation would there be for us to bother fighting any battles?

I understand stand that things happen but it is still a system that does in fact punish one side for having all of their team. To use your example I don't know the rules of football as I am a dirty American. If the game was about to start and one team showed up with one less man required to actually take would it be fair to make the other team sit a player? For the sake of argument the other team with more players is going to have more subs to come in. But how much does that happen in football? I don't know much but I don't think it's alot I could be wrong though. If they just set the rule that it was always 25 defensive teams then that's fine but they don't and because of that I have issue because my defensive placement is based on the other teams ablity to bring all their players to the battle. And my team should not be effected by that. That's all I'm trying to say.
