dat ^^ war is war, do ya think that when people attacked others during the night the other guys went like : fu i'm working tomorrow, need to sleep, leave me alone and go fight people who aren't sleeping atm
The whole point of a simulated war game is to get all the interesting aspects of war without the horrible stuff. Sleep deprivation may be "realistic" but that doesn't mean its good, or fun. To have enough players to cover both EU and NA timeslots you have to be absolutely huge. Only a handful of clans can manage that.
Finding other clans to fight for you, is also not fun. This is a game afterall, and the goal should be to make things fun and interesting, not a grind to see who gives up from being more miserable first.
The idea presented before was a two continent approach, with a small peninsula that connected them. NA would be on one continent, EU on the other. If you're really determined to fight on both, you can, if not, then just stay away from the other continent. It would also give more room for small clans to stand a chance instead of being squished in amongst the larger ones.
