if you want a 2 country war, ask the guys in the ava and I am pretty sure they will accommodate you.  then if numbers jump up that will be proof that a 2 country war could be tried in the MA.

Not exactly.   

Most people reflexively go to the MA.

Also, a two-sided MA is a totally different animal compared to a AvA.   They can't be compared.

How do you guys see a 2 sided war playing out?  My money would be on hordelings all going to one side and rolling bases for eternity.

Yeah.  We didn't have hordes like we do here in WB either.  It is almost as though the communities are different.

ok I'll play along.  just like hitech used to have the pink arena.

we'll ask hitech to change the name of ava to 2 country arena.  then we'll ask hitech to change the MA name to pink arena.

take a wild guess which arena is gonna have the most players.  but dont take my word for it, ask hitech.  he already tried the 2 country arena.

Logic = FAIL


HINT: The name is irrelevant to what makes them different even with the same number of countries.

so the fact that two countries have been tried it in here and it failed has nothing to do with logic?

Times change.    As others have noted we have in effect a two-sided MA now (just more unbalanced than a true two-sided MA would be).

In any event...

If you can't follow the bouncing ball I am done parlaying with you, sir.

A two-sided AvA is not the same thing as a two-sided MA.

a 2 sided ava with changes to plane set as you wish is not the same as a 2 sided ma.

well how can I argue against your bouncing ball.  final question for you is 2+2=4 every time?

Well they are running Monday Night  Madness in there with even plane sets. As the MNM has a decent following we will see if 2 sides work as the numbers climb.

Personally,  I think as a furballing  setup 2 sides is ok, but when it comes to a sandbox war type play 3 is better. Sure you get one side singled out, but if it is only 2 sides your either the hammer or the nail. With 3 side there are more options IF you choose to use them.

I was actually thinking about it a bit because I was thinking along the lines of your second paragraph.  Assuming the same size map/number of bases/number of players and somewhat even sides, what's stopping people on the side that's being attacked at the moment from moving to another part of the front to attack?

I still think it would wind up being one side rolling bases and the people who like it on the other doing nothing but defending.  That's not terrible as long as the offensive side will actually stick around to fight it out for a base and doesn't start playing NOE whackamole, then it gets lame and boring.
