Joint-Cln CW

Europe 3v3 CW is so 2017.

Scenario is the master now. But we are yet to make it competitive.

Scenarios are hard to fill. Say WW2, no cln have 10+ players to CW with.

My idea is that programmer (aka. Clovis) can consider making Joint-Cln CW available:

e.g. Cln A + Cln B vs Cln C + Cln D

In this way, Scenario CW is easier to fill, thus make Scenarios CW probable.

Q&A How should Elo be calculated?

My proposition is as follows:

Assume Cln A (1000) + Cln B (1000) vs Cln C (1000) -> If Cln A and Cln B win, Cln A get 12.5, Cln B get 12.5, Cln C lose 25; If Cln C win, Cln C get 25, when Cln A and B each lose 12.5. The risk of gain and loss is thus proportional.

Assume Cln A (1000) + Cln B (1000) vs Cln C (1000) + Cln D (1000) -> If Cln A and Cln B win, Cln A get 12.5 from Cln C and 12.5 from Cln D, Cln B get 12.5 from Cln C and 12.5 from Cln D. In other words, Cln A and B each get 25 when Cln C and D each lose 25. Of course, they would have gained the same if they win. Again, the risk of gain and loss is proportional.

In order to avoid farm, complaints can be made to Mods, who could remove the CW if two other mods agree.

For avoidance of doubt, each Cln has the freedom, at each time, to team with whatever Cln.

What are the benefits?

1. It makes Scenario easier to fill;

2. It makes Scenario easier to fill with pro players;

3. It makes Scenario meaningful as elo is involved (Instead of a random game with no significance);

4. It helps bond our dying AW player base (There is no denying the importance of Cln to retaining players);

5. It helps develop new stragegies and gameplay in Scenario game (As the same group of players, instead of random unkown player, play together);

6. It encourages players to create new maps;

7. It encourages Clns to recruit and train new players;

8. It encourages the purchase of premium and thus contributes to game revenue;

9. More intense season given the freedom of teaming and calculation of elo;

10. It reconciles the conflicts between the "Competitive" side of AW and the "Scenario" side of AW;

11. At last, it's FUN!

Yeah this season was literally dead since everyone was playing ww2

Nice, sounds very fun. I hope we can get this implemented!
