What would you do to make WAR better?

[Nekomata]

I think this is the best move to make. We'll never know if these changes work if we don't give it another try. I think we should continue to discuss among one another what should be improved and how those things can be improved. Once we feel that we have a system that's significantly better than what's been had in the past, we can than move forward into setting a date to give it a spin (if that's something that the majority agrees upon). If it doesn't work, at least we tried and we'll then know that it may just be best to leave WAR in the past. If it does work, then great. We could keep the good and continue to improve for future WARs.

We've got to take risks though.

Exactly! I think the discussion alone is very productive. Getting feedback from the last war, however badly it went, is vital to shaping future events. If we know what people did and didn't like, we can prevent the same mistakes. That's the main reason I was upset when the original discussion got locked so quickly.

If we do WAR again, it'd be a great trial run to test out changes. I'm not sure if it'll be a huge success, but at the very least, we should get some idea on whether the changes to the system would be well-received or not. If it's better and people have a great time- perfect! If not, we learn more on what people like/dislike in events and use that information to influence future events (not just War).

Anyway, if we do end up doing war again this summer, I'm willing to help set things up and whatnot. I should have time in the summer for that kind of thing.
