Wars have been raging on ROBLOX for as long as I can remember, and I have begun to notice some major flaws in the way they are handled and fought out. This thread is meant to point out the flaws of ROBLOX warfare and propose a much better way to go about fighting wars.
The single biggest mistake warriors make is thinking that warfare on ROBLOX could possibly work the way it does in real life. The main reason being that when a ROBLOXian dies, he/she respawns a few seconds later; in real life, once you're dead you're dead. Also, raiding is carried out wrong for a different reason. ROBLOXians can enter and leave games at their own will, so if a raid comes, all they have to do is wait it out. No big deal.
People seem to think that ROBLOX is one big universe when, in fact, it is one infinitely expanding multiverse, containing every universe that makes up ROBLOX. They seem to think that attacking one place is going to stop everyone from going somewhere else (or so it appears to me).
My third and final point about ROBLOX warfare is that most group leaders of ROBLOX are so headstrong that they will never accept defeat. This actually goes back to my first point that ROBLOXians can always repawn and never actually die. A war with an obvious victor can continue ad infinitum simply due to the stubbornness of group leaders.
Warfare should be carried out as follows: Two group leaders get together and agree on a place, time, a set of rules, and a condition for victory for a battle. The leaders then notify their groups ahead of time. When the time for battle comes, the two groups fight until the victory condition is met; then the leader of the winning group states his/her [reasonable] demands. If the demands are too much, then a report could go to an admin. If the loser fails to cooperate sith the demands, he/she gets reported for not complying to a demand set forth by his/her victor. When all is said and done, peace once again exists and the war takes only a few days, total. |

This sounds rather legitimate actually.
I raid on my own time only just to rack up some extra KO's, though. |

I agree with some of your points..I was gonna post a suggestion on how Roblox Warfare could have been more..."organized".
And I don't think Raids are for capturing an enemy base or taking over it.. In my opinion, a Raid is to show how the enemy lacks control over their own base. And to be a nuissance for the enemy, to annoy them, to regret they wanna fight with you etc.
Your second point, I don't quite understand. The sentence I don't get: "They seem to think that attacking one place is going to stop everyone from going somewhere else"
And I think, in your 3rd point, that what makes Roblox Wars a bit difficult. Its like fight until the enemy leader admits defeat..or something like that.. But 40% I agree with you...Wars do really take that long.
Your suggestion: It is a really good idea, but there should be like a specific place for the war...So it means someone has to make the Warzone for the two clans.. So I think this idea is 55% effective =D |

I was thinking that same thing, seeing as I started a war group back, though it's very small. We're the Platinum Eagles, and no one cares about us yet-a big advantage. But I think a script might work. Once you die you go into a boxed in waiting room, and the game ONLY has bubble chat, so people can't give hints while they're in the box. For two reasons:Only bubble chat, and it's just a non-transparent square. Hope my idea makes sense to most've you guys. |

Believe it or not, I've literally had the exact same idea, but I noticed a flaw: people in the box can just leave the game and come back. |

Sounds legit. Then again, how do you get an enemy like mine to cooperate like that? Imagine getting 300 black armored spidermonkeys with Rage Virus to shut up and cooperate. |

I know, and it's a good one, unless you're talking about putting up with MY enemy. |

A better idea would be to have a set amount of OFFICIAL battles (5, 10, 20) that people would rack up Knockouts or flag captures until a certain amount has been reached. (For kos, 50, 100, 200. For flag captures: 3, 4, 5) The team who reached that number of KO's or flag caps would win the battle and that would count towards there score. Once a team reaches the official score limit, they win the war and then the winning group would set terms of surrender for the defeated group. |

I too agree that some leaders will not except defeat. I am a group leader myself. I fought a war with a group called RUO, were the REA. RUO had 7 members, and at that time, we had just over forty. RUO won against us and I accepted defeat. Of course, one of my Councils (Not naming) went and did so many protests and polls on the shouts and walls saying we never accept defeat. That is just noobish. You win, you lose, so what it's just a litte game! But I do not think they should get reported, it is a little harsh. |
