another hare-brained idea

There is another side to this. Hitech has a big heart. It is also a back door HTC player charity. Some abuse it, some are in the bathroom or fell asleep, and some newbies without a clue get a present to help them want to try harder to get the better rides which means they stay around a little longer.

I doubt ENY really stops anyone determined from winning teh warz.

I was on a couple of days ago in early morning hours and the approximate numbers were:

Bishops = 30 players (eny around 29)

Knights = 7 players

Rooks = 4 players

The bishops had no problem taking bases.  At least eny kept them out of the more lower eny planes as a way of balancing.   It can be frustrating not being able to take your favorite ride sometimes, but I think eny is doing what it is supposed to do.

Along the OPs desire to award the active participants for winning war effort, make the reward something that has value to be used immediately.  Let's say, half priced sale on perked rides for 1 hour upon the map reset.  "The spoils of the war."

Could be a ton of other expiration time ideas, the above is just a sample.  The idea is to promote folks to "actively" participate.  If you were sitting in the tower asleep when the war was won, and your reward expired before you woke, oh well.
