We should have a draft war server. Allow signups for a few days, and then Two captains get picked and then draft people who sign up 1 at a time. Stats get saved per player so the next set new captains have something to measure people by. Same rules as alliance and not distribution. Only 2 tags and a predetermined time when attacks can start between them. Cannot hit one tag. Even teams. First set random captains. Further sets chosen by some metric maybe. Or random based on who hasn’t been one yet.

Two discord servers set up with war tools and news bots to make it even playing field.

Leaderboards for top hitters, top spy per type of op, top breakers pop killed, top cherry pickers… etc

I've posted nearly that same idea on here before but there wasn't really any interest.

I'd play it
