War #7 - Auction Status

[Vangelios]

Vangelios accept darkness 14 bid. right?

Yeah team Darkness

[treebeard xiii]

tis out of date i accepted ddevs 14 bid

[Avenger]

Avenger has expressed preference of  over  but did not make a final choice, i.e. still waiting for other 14 offers from other Generals. We asked WMs to make that visible, but the new !! sign now appears which is not correct. Maybe you could change his gravity bid to 13.8 and light bid to 13.9 that way it is not == 14, but still higher so it will be displayed correctly.
(if both are 13.9 then the spreadsheet shows him in gravity which is not good).

Yeah, this is a good idea.

Based on the Spreadsheet's 2nd tab called "Player Status (input)", there are 63 applicants, but that list includes Naesala, wiidgc and Pella, who have withdrawn their applications leaving 60 in total for 60 spots (5x12). This means, theoretically it is still possible to build all teams, but that requires every single applicant to be in a team, including Wedrax who has not received any bid so far.

this is getting really strange. We got 3 choices here

• We could try to fix this of our own but I doubt we will suceed less than 3 days and that would mean most players would cost 14 in the end.
• We could lower the amount of players in each team by 1.
• We could allow people to signup just for a day.

Anyone can sign up, but they cost 14 cards? (and don't count towards the max 15 bids?)

[CCCombobreaker]

Majofa just wants to withdraw, and then rejoin so he'll get a 14 card icon

I doubt that anyone will receive that icon, after all, we can't really give icons for participating in war.

...If we have exactly enough applicants to fill all teams, why is this bad? Why do we need to  reopen sign-ups?

*In the case of another person dropping out.*

A single player dropping out, or even being too inactive will have an impact, more so if there's nobody left to replace him/her with.

[bripod]

Why not just open up a Replacements topic for such an occurrence?

Seriously, dragging this out any longer will be more detrimental to the event than good.
