At no point did you retract the accusation of people cheating. In a setting like this, a cheater is basically THE most severe thing you can accuse somebody of being, and it is NOT something to be taken lightly.
Ok. I hope you are aware that you just got into a meaningless and boring semantics debate.

The exact wording I used:
Quote from: Zeru
Can't we really play fair?
Now a random, yet convenient dictionary definition of a phrase "no fair".
Quote from: internet dictionary
no fair
Something contrary to the rules: That was no fair.
Something contrary to the rules did happen. Where exactly did I imply intent?

When you put the 'we' in there, it is implied that we were actively trying to break the rules.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... Gravity playing two matches less this round seems like a pretty big advantage (along with the event card). They'll probably end up discarding alot less cards then multiple other teams because they play less matches?

Isn't it in the rules that if you have less than *** cards you have to play with less members?

As long as they have enough cards to not field suicide decks for any match, it should always be preferable to play 8 matches. You get more chances at Salvage, and all your teammates get to have fun too :3
You're just as selfish as I am. You're just not as good at it yet.

Yeah of course, war is about fun and playing Matches. But looking purely at the vault size, I think playing more matches means having to discard alot more. Especially in these rounds where winning 50% of your matches means discarding alot.

And yeah PlayerOa, it's all going according to the rules, I just wanted to know/discuss if this resulted in a advantage for team Gravity in this case.

It is an advantage...in a way. Since the only way to get such an "advantage" is to already be doing poorly, it's more of a consolation prize, or something like that.

Yes, it's quite obvious that they have some advantages this round, but this "advantage" is more distinctive largely due to the fact that team gravity is below the vault average compared to the other team.

Looking at the current results, I believe team :time and :gravity will field 5 players next round while :earth and :air will have 7 players. This is just how the war goes - where the stronger teams have more pressure than the weaker ones.

OK, I may have made a mistake with the :death vs :air matchup (#24)

Originally I had it as a sup penalty of -3. Old habit kicking in, lol. I've now fixed it to THIS war's sub penalty. As far as I know, this should be correct, but please, correct me if I'm wrong.
