Upped War? Is it possible?

[majofa]

I agree with the draft. And since this won't be an 'official' war... how would we decide on the Generals?

[Scaredgirl]

We could gather 36 players with tons of upped cards. We could then have Elite Tournament and Elite War.

Top-12 from Elite Tournament become Elite War Generals (winner picks his or her element first, etc.). Other 24 players become players and are drafted by the Generals.

Why 36? Because I don't think we can get more players will enough upped cards. I think that even 36 might be too much. Getting something like 20 might be easy, but it gets really difficult after that.

What about 12 mini-tourneys? Some people have lots of cards to take part in a War for a certain element, but not enough to take part in a no-rules battle.
Although just being a plain soldier might be fun too...

Also, this shapes up for a great PvP Event.

Why not give present masters the option to participate as masters here too?

If this is allowed can there be a newb war?  Where only people with say 15k or less score and less then 40 cards upped can participate.  This will allow people that are new or spend more time on forums and trainer (looks at Eva-Ria and other people) to participate in a fairer environment.

maybe we could get another poll on this topic.
how many upped cards do you have
0-100
101-200
201-300 etc..

That would be a good idea. Maybe take out the bottom tier. People in it, including me, probably wouldn't be able to join anyway, and even if rules allow it, we shouldn't qualify for master/general. Anyway, I think this should be made to be as elite as possible, so long as you can still allow enough people to qualify as you want to have.

[MrBlonde]

This sounds like it could be lots of fun and the Elite Tourney + Elite War as SG suggested would certainly work for me.

I have over 1000 upped cards + 250k electrum so I would have no issues with a no-rules tourney. I wonder if we could actually get 36 players to do this though.

A lot of top notch players would be left out unfortunately.

[jmdt]

I would definately get in on this action.

[Sir Valimont]

I would definately get in on this action.

Any chance to take jmdt head-on is a must-play for me. At around 350 upped cards currently I might be slightly under-equipped ... although I generally keep 60-70K electrum on hand for needed upgrades. I guess determining the threshold needed for admission is going to be pretty important ...

[Korugar]

With 350 upped cards, I think you could easily get in on the war. The only question would be whether or not you qualify to become a master.

If not enough people could play fully upped, another possibility is to allow( or force) players to play cards from their element upped.  I think a reasonable number of players could manage that.  It would give an advantage to elements that do well as mono but it would also showcase the strength of that element upgraded more.  I have around 170 upped cards but nearly a full set of upped  cards so I personally would probably have trouble doing much in a fully upped war but I could participate for team  in this other type.
