So RL's starting to kick into high gear for me as I move on to the next stage in my life and I need to re-prioritize my time.  As much fun as EtG and the forum are, I just don't have as much time for it now.  I'll still be around for sure, but just not nearly as much as I have been.  So no more Wars and Trials, no more FG grinding and stats, and no more deck building tools for me.  Like I said, I'll drop in to see how things are going and may even do a PvP competition every once in a while, but my involvement is definitely going to be a much, much less from here on out.

So thanks for all the fun games and discussions.  I've had an awesome time with this game and community.  I hope things keep getting better and better.

As far as the Ultimate Deck Building Toolset, I've handed that project off to TimerClock.  He's very good with spreadsheets and I think he can take this project to new levels.

Here are some parting gifts:
    Damage Calculator (
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AvzXeWJKVKrsdGswUEY4ZHNzV0RRMHVsMkJXRndTa3c&hl=en&authkey=CKmxgDI) (for Bolts, Fahrenheits, and Catapult)War Vault Tracker (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AvzXeWJKVKrsdDl6bVMxNy1URFNiQUZBREtjTzlMR0E&hl=en&authkey=CN23wZIG).  This is a spreadsheet for War that I was working on.  It's to help keep track of vaults.  There's a couple of sheets that I reused and reworked from the ones that Sir Valimont made public.  But the main sheet you'll see is a template for keeping track of vaults.  You will need to make 13 copies of that template to use for each team.  I was trying to minimize the amount of work needed to keep tabs on the enemies' vaults.  You paste all the decks they used and any decks they beat.  In one section it combines all the decks and shows you all the cards that won and lost so that you can compare that with the intel you already have on their vault.  Another section breaks down each person's losing deck or salvaging deck for you to easily pick out which cards you think they may be salvaging/discarding.  This might sound a little confusing but hopefully some of you might find it useful.  Feel free to use it, modify it, etc.[/list]

You'll need to change the formula for the "Actual" vault amount for each team.  It shouldn't be too hard though.  And you can always enter the amount manually if you don't want to mess with the formula.


The sections in green and red are all automated.  Upped cards will automatically show the unupped name but since the codes are different you'll have two entries for those cards if they used both upped and unupped versions in their decks.


The purple section is all automated.

If you want to use these, I'd recommend making a personal copy for you to use because if someone messes something up, I'm not going to be around to fix it.


So with that done, good luck, have fun, and may the RNG gods bless you with good draws.

^This. I don't know you that much but one look at all the stuff you've done tells me that you've done a lot for the forum.  Good luck on the journey that is real life.

So no more Wars and Trials
*trying to decide if it's good or bad*
good: less competition for me to get into team fire, and for the next trial of fire
bad: team fire losing a good player...

conclusion: BAD!!!!!

I still remember you being the first "pro" I met on these forums, thanks for being on my team when I was a newb. Good luck in life.

****.  This is a huge blow to the community.  Dragoon has been one of our finest members for a long time.

I sincerely hope your attempt to kick the elements habit is a failure, and that you get sucked back in via a PvP Event or a Competition or something.  Failing that, I wish you the best, Drag.  Stay golden.

Too bad we couldn't have more battle of the clone wars before you moved on in life.  Oh well, for the times that we've spoken or dueled, it was always fun.  Have fun Dragoon, you deserve it more than most.

It was a great honor being with you in War. Especially after how much you helped me when I was still new (unlike other fully maxed pro's of the time  ::) )

I don't even know you, but I know that I absolutely hate it when another member leaves. Wish you well, Dragoon.
