Honestly i think id have better luck having fun in a set war on ffa given my experience, especially in the sets following it (especially if it avoids disrespectful and dishonorable stuff like hiding solo/tag jumping/proxy warfare). 1a has about 4 set wars a year and 2 non-set...sometimes 3 and 3 but theres usually not arranged wars for several straight sets. I prefer the latter but keep the culture alive with the former. The set wars usually make people feel comfortable warring on the server knowing people have short memories. So wars like PS/Evo or Sof/Laf can happen and then both tags can continue to exist without grief when they're over.

That said, i don't think set wars will revive the culture like a good ethics war with a loser that licks his wounds and gets recruiting again the next set. But here on ffa, that means a whole year of grief from solos and a buncha bullfluff until you quit.

Since neither scenario results in a positive fun time for LoC, we're squeezed out. And now we just reminisce.
