Yup.  Not because I'm a lazy person, but I figured this would make finding substitutes and whatnot faster and more convenient.

Post any absences you know you're going to have in the future.  If you're leaving on a family ski trip for two days, if college is being a trollolol, if you had a premonition about you inhaling ozone gas in three hours fourteen minutes fifty-eight seconds and needing to go to the hospital, or something.

On the chance that your internet derps without warning and you can't tell us a thing, I'll still be checking your profiles every few days/hours like a stalker to see the last times you've been on.  Preferably you'd post here and tell us afterwards, though.  8)

I'm away at the cottage until Sunday night starting tonight, so I won't be here when War commences. After that, I should be good to go.

Poor timing here unfortunately, but I realised that I am unlikely to have any/stable/useable internet access in a few days.

Time zones and everything make days confusing for me - I'm operating under GMT for these dates (where today is the 15th), I will be away from the 17th to the 20th. I'm posting here in case I forget - and in any case I might still have some access to internet, I guess I won't know till it happens.

Because of the certain deadlines I will be much less active until 31 Oct. But I'll update my "Other teams" round 2 post tonight when all games are over. And I'll find my time to play my games.

Now our tasks should be a bit easier too. First to find the best deck others have against us (that beats all or most of our decks). Then, to find a deck that beats their best deck and most likely some other decks they have. If this best deck is found then, surpirisingly, do not play that deck if we have shown that exact deck already, but search for a deck that should counter our best deck and find a counter for that :) . But if our best deck is unpredictable (not played yet) or lost already, but we have a second variation from that or some cards from there, then we should go for it. Our hidden decks so far are Flying Owls, Dim Shields and Quinted Dragons (or Fractal-Dragons), Water deck, Entropy deck, Black Hole deck.

Of course this takes really much time to think and test all this (against opponen's decks), therefore 1 or 2 active persons are not enough (if they don't have that as full-time job) and testing is needed in order to find details that matter at the end (should I put a Shockwave or a Pillar agains Discord deck?). Many people give more ideas and it is better than not having many ideas, despite of the fact that most of them can't be used. Without testing there can't be really better than medium results at least with our elements we are representing.

Ok, I'll try to find some time for Elements in this busy period, but yet I'm not sure how much time I'll have.

The Owls are not what they seem.

I'm gonna be busy from Monday. It would be good if you can replace me from playing matches too (it shouldn't be very hard, some of you can afford 6 upgrades for sure).

Hey guys I won't be able to be nearly as active this round as I was last round. A bunch of projects and tests all came up randomly in school today but I should be back on track for next round. I'll still do my best to contribute as much as I can. Sorry guys. Good luck this round. It could be the most important round yet..

Not sure if necessary, but I won't be able to play in about a week, or come onto forums and stuff. The WMs know about this, I told SG before War to make sure it was sensible to act as General, (she had assumed War would most likely be over, or at least we'd be out of it :P ) so there shouldn't be problems or anything.
