If a player is going after red badges and yellow badges hits a player that doesn't like it and they retaliate; the attacking player now has the ability to alert that player who was originally attacked to his entire legion. So? There'll always be jerks, can't do anything about that.

Some of you are assuming that the player being attacked is the only aggressor by stealing a planet or some other type of action. No... this is for all alerts

The current alerting system does not allow for an equal type ability to respond. War is never equal

It is a one sided response. the alerted can fight back if they want to

I am not asking for LESS ability to fight; I am asking for more ability to fight those who want to go at it. then toss a cm at them and you two can go at it how ever long you'd like. alert each other and get the whole legion involved.

Yes, there are legions who want to fight each other; there are those who don't.

That was why I had the suggestion for "legion wars" tab by an officer or leader of a legion. We want only certain people doing certain things with the legion.

Let's even look at the mutual aspect of each side wanting to fight -- If one side "declares war" on the other; have an "accept legion war" by the other side. And if the other side doesn't want to fight? They just decline the war?

The simple solution here is that those two legions then only have the other legion on their BT; this would make it an overall minimal change for Dan to make; yes, we would be limited to only 10 on the other side, unless Dan would expand the player participation on the BT screens. The simple solution is to have your legion find one of the other legion on their bt, get alerted and then slowly alert the whole legion until you guys all have each other on your news feed. No need for Dan to add a feature that can easily be worked around already.

A solution for those who do not want to participate is also have a participation button in the player profile that says "participate in wars" if clicked; they are put into the mix; however this button cannot be changed except once you are in; you have to stay in for a minimal of one week and if you "opt out of the wars" you cannot participate again for another week like the base attacks if you change legions or leave for a short time to help out another legion. This will discourage players from getting in; finding out they get hit a lot and "don't want to ruin their stats" and run away; then come back to hit a few times and leave and use the "opt out" as a protection against their aggression. Halcyons work too.
