The notion that timezones should be severely imbalanced in favor of one clan (in this case, UBH) over the other in order to make a fullout war more even is a fallacy. It defeats the entire point of a fullout war, since the disadvantaged clan is being intrinsically barred from performing with as many people as possible. If what you said about the days (Saturday being good for UBH, and Sunday being good for 2M) is true, then 2M is already making a concession by agreeing to fight on a Saturday. Furthermore, it is much more reasonable to expect someone to get on a computer to fight in a war at around 3 pm than it is at 11 pm (even 9 pm is a stretch imo). 3 pm on a Saturday is the best compromise you will reach, but if UBH feels they are overmatched and needs to compensate for that somehow, a more viable solution than radically shifting the time of the fight would be to allow UBH to bring FA's/trials or something to that effect. I've fought against both UBH and 2M in the past, and from firsthand experience they are both respectable and well-run clans. As a result, I hope they'll be able to realize the compromises that must be made, and hammer this out without any arbitration from mods.

The flaw with Junior Clans is that they were so separate from the real clan, they worked almost like smaller independent clans and caused tension between the Junior and regular clan, plus once some people go to the level to join the regular clan they had become accustom to the Junior clan and the regular clan was like a whole new clan to them (Which it was). Agreed, all that loyalty that was built up during a member's stint in the junior clan would just be stripped away as they were expected to join the main clan upon hitting the reqs. Eventually enough people became fed up with doing that, I suppose, to kill off the trend of junior clans. This isn't really a revelation, though, as this topic would've been relevant as far back as about 2 years ago when clans like Phobia and The Corrupted were closing. Since that time the only (arguably) significant jr. clans I can even think of are The Futures (which was a shell of its former self) and Chivalry Forces, which was much more of a farce than a force.
