I think, so raids don't get overrun, their should be only a certain number of players from both sides anyway. Then, deciding a winner would be easy!
Every raid I've ever been in has been completly overrun and with no clear winner. Eventually, people steadilly began to drop out as more people poor in. No bodies going to read 200 posts just to see who did the best in the fight! O.o So why don't we allow like, 6 cats from every team thats attacking. The last clan standing, that hasnt died or run away, would be the winner. Also, I don't think you should put your cat in battle and ignore the risk of he/she dying. If you don't want them to die, don't put them in there. There are times where the only realistic thing to do is die, yet people do crazy, totally unrealistic things to save their cat and piss everyone off because it isnt fair! I love my cats, but I'm willing to kill them if there is no other way to be realistic. If I'm really that mad about it I can just have them reborn. O.o Seriously!
