O.O Holy, 4 pages of OOC to catch up on, and I didn't even get the last bit! XD Stuff I have no clue about. 

In any case, that aside I had an interesting idea. (this is just an idea please do not kill me... ;_;)

How about this Holy Grail war is fought with teams, say X number of players on one side and the same number on the other side. Perhaps black and white for a nice chess analogy. In any case, the two sides vying for the grail have to work as a team. Everybody could have two characters per side, Master and Servant. Or one a servant on one side and a master on the other, either way is fine. Just depends on how many characters you want to have to keep track of. Lastly, one side could be entirely controlled by the GM(s). That's about it.

I mean, The Grail is ultimately in control of how the war is fought, I see no reason why it couldn't alter the format slightly. 

I think this idea would make up for quite a few things. What do you guys think?
