We are going to change the Structure of The Wolfpen Brotherhood. There will be no more wholesale granting of the title of Lieutenant. Each faction will have 2 or 3 of that rank who are experienced players with proven results and loyalty to their faction and The Brotherhood. We have had a problem with unwanted difficult wars that were not declared by the Generals this will solve that problem. Two more problems need to be addressed. They are inactivity by members of all three factions, and an uneven distribution of talent. Inactive players will be ferreted out and removed from all factions. That leaves us with the problem of base distribution. Our goal is to have large bases in Wolfpen, medium sized bases in Wolfpen-2, smaller bases in Wolfpen-3. The Admiral will soon set sail to form a new Safe Harbor: Wolfpen-4. This is a place to R & R, recover from the depletion of your army, and a place to park your base when you are on vacation.
All members must make ally requests to the generals of all factions, and I will tell you why. I am going to limit membership in each faction to 47 bases. This way in a Conquest a Faction that is in trouble can be fortified. Their General can send a troop request to the other generals. Big Gun players can then be invited to move to the faction that needs help. True they will sit out the turn of transfer, but with 47 members we are allotted the whole 50 spaces. The down side is that if the player who volunteers to move has already scored points they will lose those points yet gain points in the faction they transfer to. They will have to stay until the rewards are distributed, but then they can go back to their home faction.
Small bases which means both size and glory rating should really stop resisting and voluntarily move to Wolfpen-3 before it fills up. I dislike ordering players to do that. You have undoubtedly found friends in the faction you are in. It is easy to keep those friends send them an ally request, you will get increased hearts when you have moved and visit your alliance, and you can still message back and forth. When you grow both in base size and glory you can move up to the next tier.
There is no limit on the number of big bases that can be in any of the factions. These are the bases that win wars and Conquests, and they are free to choose their home faction. Wolfpen & Wolfpen-2 will become Closed factions and can only join by invitation of a General or a Lieutenant. Wolfpen-3 will remain Open until they approach the 47 member limit. I will announce when The Admiral sets sail to discover Wolfpen-4. Thank you post any comments below.
