War #10 - Voices of the Fallen


This topic is for teams to discuss why they lost and educate people in future wars so they don't make similar mistakes. It is also for people still in war and people outside of war to console fallen teams.

Do:
Actually test decks.

Don't:
Have your general leave before Round 1.

The quickest way to descend a 12 rung ladder is to start at the top as Life.

ggs everyone else, sorry 1st timer teammates. At least you'll improve or match your performance next year?

Come baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiill.

I thought in war you only thing you need was to build a deck and hope it get good.
You have to work a lot in what the others team can make based on last rounds(winnings and loses) and his points/cards.
It was fun for my 1st war, and i dont think i cant do this again...

Intentional double negative? ... so... you CAN do this again?

It always sucks when a General vanishes from the entirety of war; not just because you lose a leader, but you also lose (potentially) a large card pool filled with upgrades who can sub in for other players as needed. You guys did have a relatively strong start, but it's unfortunate that you guys fell down so quickly mid-war.

well when you have a "weak team gets the best decks sent against them, and 20 bonus discards" Its a bit hard to recover.

Do: Know what you're doing and plan ahead
Don't: Get overly cocky expect too much

Spoiler for My traditional Team Tribute:

'Ey, we've had some pretty tough times. Not something someone can't get through without trying. I think light (and life, too) did their very best, that's a win to me, at least. Heh. We had a good run, woulda been better without the unnecessary drama, but we pushed ourselves to be our best we could be. Yay, we lasted until round 7 at least, and for my first time being general, it wasn't all that bad, I enjoyed it (mishaps not included).

Dragons, oh man, where would I have been without your help? We'd have been dead rounds ago without you, so thank you, for staying around even if you wanted to leave, I appreciate it. You've given us so much, and we all learned from teh mighty DRAGONZ this war, you were a bit like a teacher, showing me different strategies against different teams, I appreciate it, and I know the rest of the team does too.

Silver, you didn't do too bad for your first war, you held your head high where I didn't, and you kept us all in shape ^^ never forget that you have a great potential for war, even if it isn't your thing, I hope you come back next war, and maybe we can do better!

ARTHA, yes you! I appreciate you sticking around, it must've gotten pretty boring listening to me and dragons talk about decks and stuff, sorry lol. But still, thank you, you helped everyone alot, I don't know what else to say, other than that you were a great team mate, 10/10 would use you in war again. you opened my eyes to alot of things, never will forget~

Serprex, I wish you had stayed around to finish this with us, but I wanna say I appreciate you tagging along for a little while, you were a great help regardless of how you felt about this community during the first bit of drama we faced this war. I hope you and Kae are having a good time, you will be missed by everyone...

We did good together team, never forget it, and I think we made some memories together. Thanks to each and every one of you, for finishing with me on this.

Well, that sucked.  We had some brutal RNG, losing several matches we were heavily favoured in, some extremely unfavourable matchups that we had no chance in.  And then, of course, there were the twin mistakes of Warmasters giving us an unwarranted penalty for Serprex,  as well as the reversal of a decision to let us transmute to avoid a 3rd match.

The unsportsmanlike conduct of many of the people this War was simply abysmal.  You know who you are, and everyone else can look at some of the discussions if they want, and learn who you are, too.  It is a true shame that such a potentially good event had to be ruined by such childish behaviour.  I'll refer you to the War round discussion threads below, but you can clearly see how ridiculous some players were in their protests.

To Solaris.  I am sure that you had a lot of fun dragging your match with Light out for hours and hours.  I'm not sure how many desyncs you induced, or how many times you refused to connect to get the match you couldn't possibly win over with, but I think you probably set a new record.  I hope it will never be equaled.

To the Warmasters.  I know you guys did your best, but your inexperience clearly showed.  Most of your event cards were completely meaningless, and your rulings were inconsistent and unfair.  This does not apply just to team Light; apparently you guys treated different teams differently when they used incorrect marks accidentally.  I do not believe this was done maliciously; you simply had no idea how to run the event.

To Team Light.  You guys were a great team.  I enjoyed playing with all of you.  I'm sorry things didn't work out better, but I did what I could.  Not every team can win War.  It is unfortunate that War was ruined by the extraneous politics that occurred, and I hope that you all have a better experience next time.

To everyone in War.  It's just a game.  Remember that.  There's no reason to bitch and whine just because you don't get your way, or because another team thinks of something you didn't think of that ruins your plans.  If a team comes up with a way to survive another round, congratulate them on a game well played, rather than throw temper tantrums in public because your wagers didn't go your way.

Don't bother contacting me for any votes on 'most sportsmanlike player of war 10' or anything like that.  Nobody who interacted with Light this war deserved it.

I'm not sure if I'll be back for another War or not.  It really depends on all of you.

If we want to be truly, truly honest here, I was legitimately having internet issues that day, as it is fairly common knowledge that my internet is, for lack of better words, terrible. Sorry for the inconvenience/any hard feelings.

Everyone loses to RNG every now and then, but you don't have to constantly complain about it. As you said, it's just a game, so no bitching required.

Flaming is also not very nice.
