Revision of the 12 hour rule

[Reaver]

Along with the help of the other TWD ops and AnZu, we've changed the 12 hour rule. Players will no longer have to wait any time when leaving a previous squad and joining a new squad so long as they have been in their current squad for atleast two days. So if you've been in a squad for a few weeks and the squad leader dissolves the squad, no wait. If you've been in a squad for 3 days and leave, no wait. If you join a squad and leave while you've been on it for 1 day and 23 hours, you have to wait 1 hour before joining your new squad. There will probably be a bug or two with it but just report any problems and we'll have it working 100% shortly.

P.S. Make sure you know the rules about siblings!

Just replying for clarity, you can join a new squad immediately provided the last time you JOINED as squad was 2 or more days ago. You do not have to be squad joined for 2 days.

2 Day Rule

So now a member can constantly play for 2 squads flipping every 2 days.
An entire team can play for one squad on Monday, swich to another squad on Wednesday and jump back to their original squad on Friday only to play for the second squad on Sunday, and go back to the original squad on Tuesday.
This creates a loophole, and conflicts of interest... if abused.

Usually squads who allow that are the newbie squads at the bottom of the list. So, if you have no life and enjoy leaving and joining squads every two days. Go for it, you won't be screwing up TWL anyways.

How does this create a loophole, people could have done exactly what you just said with the previous 12 hour rule? In fact, with the old rule they could do what you're saying, only more frequently, every 12 hours switching squads instead of every 2 days.
Besides, if a squad dissolves and you had no control over it, in the past you had to wait 12 hours to play TWD for a decision you probably had nothing to do with, the new rule all but eliminates that. I believe there will be far less upset players and more pleased TWD players as a result of this change.

P.S. TWD ops monitor player history and we're always watching for abuse. Player's history including the date and time they changed roster are all recorded via the TWD website and in game bots so people will be cought.

Glad to hear your up on the abuse of double squadding. I didn`t realize that a 12 hour wait time to play for a squad was such a burden on new squad members. I`m all for making the twd an easy experience for all, and the no waiting time to play in a new squad is one we can all live with.
BTW grats on your new position!
