Good win DH.

Nice win SoW.

Nice win DA, it must have been brutal fighting with those options.

I like option #4. However, I think that my idea of making multi-clanning a valid reason to decline a declaration is good enough to at least warrant an option in the poll. I'll give an example. Clan A declares on Clan B. Clan B accepts. Clan B then notices that 2 days before the war Clan A has added x members from Clan C to their memberlist. Clan B can then pull out/decline the war with no point loss. Of course there would be proof needed, and it would be up to the TWR mods to judge as such.

Once I see a quote from the leader then I'll believe you.

I'm glad he clarified, I was a little confused about their motivation for this.

But, at the same time, tip.it, and most reasonable people see that 1% of religion promotes hate and oppression; and hate the other 99%. Then they're not reasonable people are they? I think it is unreasonable to think that, doesn't change the fact that reasonable people have that opinion (or at least act like it).

Good win LGZ, pity about the flaming.

Nice job WG.

Congratz on your win TK :)

Nice win Illusion :)

I have this problem, though not to the degree that it seems you do. What I would recommend is: - Sit in a very uncomfortable chair - Get up and stretch every chapter, 10 pages, or whatever. - Make sure it isn't too warm in the room. And good luck :)

But in order to solve this problem you need to define "multi-clanning". Is it being in more than one TWR clan? More than one "main clan"? Or just more than one clan at all?

You should have waited until 99 mining; that would have increased your rate. 6.5/10.

Sorry for you loss :( And @ N_Odie: Yes, it will automatically reject oversized images.

Exactly. I find great debates in OT, a separate forum would only serve to fragment the users.

Sorry to hear they didn't show :(

Nice win Illusion.

I fail to see the need to have this handled by the twr, I really think it should be up to the individual clans warring. However, perhaps multi-clanning should be a valid reason to decline a TWR declaration.

Proof?

I can't give you an actual number, but I found that when I mined them I generally got the "junky" gems, opals, topaz, etc.

It's July. Nice hair ;)

Where do you get 3? I mean we have technically had nukes that could destroy the world for like 60 years. You could not blow up the world 3 times. That is like trying to commit suicide twice. Its a comparison. He means they could blow up 3 worlds. However, at this point, I'm sure that number is in the several thousands for the US alone.
