Basic rules for Elite War and Trade
-----------------------------------

1. An organised initial attack is a good thing to aim for as Bek suggested. I think the best way to achieve this as Winky suggested, is for me to be the only one who starts war. I'll suggest a time to start and you'll need to count forward and work out if you'll be available at the start of war (after packing time of 12 hours).... we'll work out which time will have the most of us here.... which leads me to my next point. 

2. In order to do this we need time to work ourselves out, I'm thinking 2 wars a week? (1 war a week has been suggested) but I'd like to try 2 for now,  see how we go. One that starts friday I'd say and perhaps a Tuesday for the other...
 
3. Moving on to general ruleplay. Jackpots seem to be the main issue and frustration. I myself think it's a good rule if you have a jackpot to share it with someone,  however this is not possible all the time obviously. I would like to make the rule that in our organised initial attack it is compulsory to share a jackpot (if you have one) and still overkill a city with a teammate... after this I'd like everyone to try and share jackpots and overkilling as much as possible, however it's not compulsory due to the fact that sometimes it's just impossible to find someone etc... but if anyone makes a bad habit of always not sharing,  let me know. 

4. If you don't have a jackpot and you want to attack,  that's ok,  I have seen people not attacking because they don't have a jackpot,   but some points are better than no points. Just check first if anyone is around that might have one.

5. No stealing jackpots. If you did not place it and you have not communicated with the person that did,  do not touch it.
