I have an idea that could change how we play as war groups, and possibly get activity rising again. I'll try to make this to the point, sweet and short.
War groups (Such as TRA, VS, FEAR, RSF etc. etc.) will get together with their development teams to discuss programming a system. This system will allow players at any base to raid freely, choose what clan (they're in) to raid as, and display some sort of high score that each war group has accumulated at the defending fort (and possibly game-wide in the future). The scores can then be tallied up after certain intervals, and the one with the highest score (it may need tweaking, as the defenders will have a huge advantage if they get the exact amount of points as the raiders) will be declared victorious, where a monument of the winning team will be displayed until the next winner.
This allows the individual to get right into the action (like Phantom Forces), yet provide a whole new experience for players while still having (if not bringing back) that old school feel when people just raided without a High-Rank for fun. Speaking of the individual, this point system could also be used for a single person, keeping track of separate scores, and at the end of each "round" or "season" the reports will be shown for every member for every clan what score they had and can rank up (or down) their members accordingly based off of activity defending and raiding.
The scoring system could just be a single point for a single second the flag or terminal is held, and a single point for every kill you make, but it could be expanded upon. I know it sounds scary, especially for high-ranking people who's job it is to shout raids, but I would much rather give up that little bit of authority in order to see my group thrive again.
This is just an idea I had, and I wanted to tell someone before I forgot it. This won't make me a better person, I would just like to see a dying community that I have spent (way too much) time in rise up again. I noticed after Dev-Ex came out, everything has been declining. I am hoping that a few leaders take this idea into consideration, and help spark a new age where people will want to fight as a group again, and see ourselves featured on ROBLOX games.
Thanks for reading! Be brutal, be honest when you comment on this thread. After all, an idea almost NEVER looks the same at all over time. That's okay. Lets just get some sort of ball rolling. a new gun in your fort isn't going to get you on the front page anymore.
VAK to FEAR, TRA to RAT, I love playing with all of you guys!

Thanks, Jaaziar! |

What about making a game that is terrain and has a bunch of clan bases built into it. |

Good idea.
Don't think it'll happen though.
If everyone works together it would.
Bro have you heard the news? This zebra called Jack tried to run me over! I know right! I was only hunting him and stuff... |

@stickysoap That would be awesome, but the lag would be an issue, and the amount of people for all the forts would be way too small. If those could be solved, it might become practical. |

Thanks, Lionehh! Yes, everyone working together is probably the biggest issue at the moment. |

TL;DR
i dont mean to be brutally honest but one of the many reasons clans have been struggling to keep up with roblox is that there is no benefit to developing for clans when any competent individual can make bank producing a front page game
this score crap isnt going to bring any activity and only benefits raids, not promoting patrolling
again tldr i just skimmed through but yeahhhh. no

That would promote patrolling because at any moment you could be attacked. |

and people didnt patrol because they were under the impression that theyd be attacked at any minute. they did it because that was the only method of socializing with other members. now clans rely on 3rd party programs like discord and TS3.
b.a.k.a.

Thanks for skimming through and bringing that up, Kiritsugu!
The benefits developing for a war group are certainly lacking, and the incentive to patrol is quite less I now see.
So, the idea still stands, but for it to work, we need to expand upon it to promote patrolling. I will post any ideas I have in this thread, and anyone else should do the same! :]
For it to fall into action, we need to think of a way to make developing for war groups an option worth considering. Again, I am open to all ideas here, and wil ltry thinking of my own. |

What about a group that holds all the forts in its games tab and they are reviewed by the mods to make sure all of the them are fair. |

@stickysoap The one problem facing this though is that the only benefit is that all the games are in a single location. All groups have only 1 leader, and I usually try to avoid a conglomeration where a single person could ruin it, so whoever is in charge of this group would have to be very highly regarded. It would take a lot of time and energy. It may be option in the future though.
Thanks for your ideas! We have 99 bad ones before we reach that 1 award winning idea. |

@stickysoap I don't think I would qualify for that. I am not broadly known throughout clan/war groups, nor do I have the achievements (like owning a 10,000 member group) to show I can plant and sow that sort of task. Thanks though! |
