The only thing that drives me nuts is the people that declare war and never post a battle. We ended up in the top 100 ( I think #62) last GW but that was because of me and the GM both spending gems like crazy. This time we did have another 6 or 7 that helped. We don't even ask people to spend gems. The GM and I do cause we both hate to lose lol. But no one else has to unless they want to. We stay pretty full or I'd take you up on the offer OZZY98. We could certainly use a few more active people, just don't see how we can make room for more that 4 or 5 without being real jerks.

I couldn't disagree more with the anyone declaring war at any time, especially if you don't require gems use, as we don't either..... Here's how are wars go...  There are 6 of us that know each other outside of the game and we run the group. We decide prior to declaring that a certain person in designated to take out the guardian and sentinel, so multiple people don't hit them at the same time and waste attacks.... Then once they are down everyone can attack.... We post our war times in advance so the guild knows when to be there... Everyone who shows and gets their first attack in within the first 10 minutes, will get 2 additional attacks in the last 10 minutes of the war. Then our next war will be in an hour and 40 minutes when everyone should be full on energy again.. This usually generates a win and the more people that show at the designated war times the higher we score, the higher the win bonus will be... Now, if someone else were to declare war, right after that one, we'd have significantly less attacks and be more likely to lose, or even if we don't lose, less attacks results in a lower bonus, and if you put guardians, a waste of the guilds money on extra guardians.... Not saying our strategy is perfect, but I like it...
