Title : twar changes!

1: voting time is less now so wars get going faster, so be careful, you
might want to let people know before you pull a lever or something.
2: you can now play with only 2 players
3: reward changes:
(when I speak of rewards, I mean modifiers to previous values for exp
or coins if you have that set)
a: double reward for NORMAL wars!
b: respawn wars give more POINTS which will translate into reward
c: *IF* you have more than 3 players then you get +10% additional
reward for every additional player
examples:
hero war, 2 players - normal reward
normal war, 3 players - DOUBLE reward
hero war, 4 players - +10% reward!
hero war, 10 players - +70% reward!
normal war, 10 players - +170% reward!
d: experience is UNFILTERED. Yes, unfiltered. You big heroes, get
out there
4: hero wars can now go up to +10 and are truly hero now (I had a bug
where there could get 19+0 wars, oops!)
5: this is a big one:
ALL twars are being logged now statistically in the database. I can
tell you how many wins, what your win ratio, point ratio, what
classes you kill best, who's done the most damage, how much exp we've
given out over a certain period, etc, etc.

YOU can't see this yet, but you will.

What am I doing with this (and this is why it's important)? I'm
going to be adding in special rewards for top players so DON'T RUIN
YOUR TWAR SCORES BY SCREWING AROUND. Expect the rewards to be on
par with some of the best itms in the game. They'll be things like
"the warrer w/ the best win ratio over the last week gets this
awesome item loaded when them on login". So tanking your twar
statistics is going to be a bad thing. I will likely have rewards
that are over all lifetime (best warrer EVAH!) so start taking this
stuff seriously - if you care.

Some of the rewards may be too high so I'll be monitoring them. Let me
know if you have bugs and such. Any twar that screws up for some reason
and doesn't end correctly shouldn't get logged so don't freak out about
ruining your twarscore if there's a bug, the entire war will just be
ignored.
