Clockmaker:
Each team receives a bonus of
up to 10 additional Pendulums
of their choice.

*Add these to any salvage from last round.

Deckbuilding:
Duel phase has started
Teams have to build decks for all players who are fighting during this round. Decks are to be posted on the secret team section. Team Deckbuilder starts the topic, and all team members participate in the planning. Please do not post your decks in public or talk about them in chat.

All decks must be made ready before the timer goes to zero, after which editing deck post is strictly forbidden. Failure to have all the decks ready will lead to a severe card penalty, and/or automatic losses. It is highly recommended that all team members double-check their decks before the duels start.


Duels:
Round has ended
Duel phase starts when deckbuilding ends.

PM your opponent and try to find a time that suits you both. Time Zone Converter (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) might be useful here. If you cannot find a time when you are both are online, please contact Warmasters (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=pm;sa=send;u=293,3167) Kael Hate or ddevans96 immediately. If the match doesn't happen, you both lose by default, unless one of you is clearly more active and/or more flexible.

Duels are "best-of-three", you must use the deck and mark built during the previous phase, and you cannot make any changes to your deck or mark during the round.
Please make sure you record your duels correctly.


Notes:
Team Death and Entropy whom are entitled Reperations must take them from the games in which they were lost.
Team Fire made a mistake causing an edit after the deadline on decks Penalty 12 cards.

Will these reversed games be noted somewhere, so that the other teams can observe from what decks Death and Entropy get to salvage?

One was linked directly in the round 7 thread.
And the other was mentioned, in addition to the dictator changing his thread title in round 6 :)

If Fire takes 10/9 cards, doesn't that put them over the 5 battle limit, making them do 6 battles?

Pendulums gained from the card don't affect pairings this round.

You can always convert them?

Entropy's reperations were 31 cards not 36 because of the event card that round.

I would almost guarantee that's not happening. :time has a bye this round and they have 60 cards which is perfect since it means they will last at least til rd 10. Wouldn't surprise me if they managed to land top 3 because of this.
Title: Re: War #3 - Round 8
Post by: coinich on May 28, 2011, 02:23:34 am
Depends.  60 cards is just enough to field 2 decks, but not leave any room for mistakes.  I'd much rather play 1 deck with a buffer of 29 cards to customize than field 2 that might be strained.
Title: Re: War #3 - Round 8
Post by: ddevans96 on May 28, 2011, 02:26:26 am
60 cards is still only one deck. At 72 you can field two decks.

The minimum amount needed for 2 decks is 72 cards (War Rules). Any less and you field only 1 player.

Yep and 60 cards IMO is a good place to be. 65 would be optimal since that would mean a victory would put them at 71 and not have to field two decks.

Pardon me, but if the round info was posted 4 hours ago, wouldn't it make more sense that the 3 days begins from there? Seeing about 12 hours gone when you haven't even seen the event card is a bit troubling.

So in the 2 day downtime you did nothing? no planning or resolution for certain foes should they come up or what you will salvage or anything?

Definitely some plans can be made, but many things hinge on things like the event card and which matches are being played. In all honesty I was expecting the round 8 thread to be posted at the same time as usual, just on a different day, that's all. I wasn't trying to come off as stalling for extra time, sorry about that.

Put in feedback and tell us what you want to have done on the pairings and next war we might be able to fix it.

I know I didn't, but 2 days for 4 decks is plenty.

And darn that double Aether : \ Let's hope we get a lucky fluke and they place the right deck with the wrong player :) Also me vs kevkev :o

Looks like :time will have 70 cards next round, so a loss won't be devastating (although a win would result in fielding two decks from 76 cards).

Planning or resolution for foes which may or may not be eliminated next round?  [sarcasm]And I'm sure we were able to plan for what would happen during this round based on the extremely helpful and enlightening details you gave us concerning those "issues".[/sarcasm]  It's a little difficult to plan for things which may just vanish in the blink of an eye that you're unaware of, just FYI.

We have been dealing with this situation regardless, but at least have the decency to give us a little credit here and not act as if we're lazy idiots; it just seems a bit illogical.
We'll strike with full force regardless.
