How to connect targets, readiness, timing, callouts, reports, and payouts.

The war process is stronger when the target board is only one part of the plan. Prepare your own members, choose a realistic push window, keep target data current, and define the reporting and payout process before the war ends.

Before, during, and after the war

Confirm the matchup

Verify your faction and the enemy faction by name and ID. Clear old matchup context before loading a new opponent.

Publish expectations early

Set availability expectations, war roles, target-call rules, chain expectations, and payout rules before members begin contributing.

Use Activity to choose push windows

Compare Best activity windows in TCT and local time. Favor patterns supported by enough snapshots rather than one unusually strong hour.

Use Readiness immediately before the push

Find members who are home, clear, active, and carrying useful energy. Address stale Personal data and hard blockers before calling them.

Operate the target board

Refresh enemy data, start with useful status filters, review priority and context, open the Torn profile, then send a consistent callout.

Keep officer communication consistent

Use one callout format, avoid duplicate target calls, update strategy when the enemy state changes, and keep members informed about the current push goal.

Review contributions

After the war, inspect the contribution report and resolve missing or questionable rows before finalizing payout settings.

Calculate and reconcile payouts

Save the Leader payout calculation, open Banking, compare the total payout with the live vault, pay members, mark statuses, and retain audit notes.

Contribution and payout rules documented.
Vault projection reviewed before payment.

Failure points to avoid

Old opponent data

Always verify faction ID. A clean-looking target board can still be wrong if it belongs to the previous matchup.

Calling active but blocked members

Online state does not cancel travel, hospital, cooldown, low energy, or stale Personal data.

Calling targets without verification

Enemy status can change quickly. Open Torn immediately before the hit whenever timing matters.

Changing payout rules afterward

Publish the method before contributions are made, then preserve the saved calculation and ledger for review.
