Yep, we did pretty good for an underdog team(getting to top 4 is just great).

I wont go for any trials, but if i was a master i would bid 24 right off the start for you sevs, so you shouldnt worry about getting bid on.

Personally i know i will try to get back here and take another ride with the Underworld(it is just funnier than a normal element).
In the meanwhile, i am trying to improve as a player to be ready when the time comes(making good builds, training in pvp and getting my luck stats up), and getting my rares finally completed(t500 farming is so much less boring than t50, and i have been delaying it for a while already).

Sevs I think I am going to do the trials, and you and many others on this team will be my picks, and I will bid the max to get you.
When I was general I still did less than you I admit, thank you Sevs, we could not have even hoped to get this far without you.
We had many bad moments, some were my fault, I hope you all can forgive me. I let higs get away with what was 99% our win, and a 99% chance that she cheated unless this magical desynch that should be impossible really happened, but then I am still at fault for not getting win from the SS right then and there. I am very sorry. ( even though a warmaster saw it and did nothing. )
I think most of us stayed active to a certain level, and I thank all of you for it, I know I was the cause of alot of drama, but I would do it again because I still believe I was correct in most of that drama.

We got through this war clean in some sense of the word. We had drama but we got through it all.
We lost half of our players in our very first round but did not lose hope. We continued to lose cards and players but still only thought of winning, I am proud of all of you for this. We showed that Underworld is a force that should not be taken lightly, and nor should all of us be taken lightly. Near the end Aether had more cards than all the other teams combined but we still thought about winning.
At this round and the final one to come there was not much we could do after the BS call against us making us lose a match we should not have and then the 2 hopeless matches that followed. I bet we would have won had we not been screwed so hard, so lets hold our heads high that we could have won. We didn't lose due to a lack of skill, ect.... it was one persons call not even on our team that made us lose. I know we would have been able to continue to push forward and win if that had not happened.

Yes I am ranting a little, and it might piss a couple people off, but don't delete this post, it will reflect on me, not you. That is what I think, and I wont hide it. I refuse to censor myself.

I wish every last one of you the best of luck in real life and in this game. I have not decided what trial but I will be taking part in one of them, and I will take the generalship by force. My bids will be for those I know the best. Any ideas on elements? I am looking for an element with a poor master who should not play next war, or no master.

First of all, sorry about the deck mark. That was probably 75% my bad.
The difference between 3rd and 4th doesn't seem so significant though.
And this way we don't have to play a suicide.


On to the rest now.
Thanks to all for making my war experience what it has been.
I feel like I've grown exponentially as a player, strategist, and deckbuilder as a result.
There are things that I regret, but without the experiences of which I wouldn't have learned as much as I did.

@Long,
If you become a master I would maybe consider being on your team again. Frankly though, you would have to pull up your socks quite a lot first.
In retrospect, I wish I had known you better before we chose a general. I probably wouldn't have supported your push for the position.
Your outbursts and general etiquette made me feel less than stoked at times to be fighting for your flag.

Also, I'm not sure you have the game play skills to really be deserving of the title.
That you are looking to become master for an element with a currently weak/non-existent one supports that IMO.

@All,
Frankly, I think I might disappear for a while and then try to sneak onto UW again next war.
I can't imagine fighting for an element. It would just be way more limiting.
That said, I may also try to get my PvP skills up to snuff (deck selection isn't a strong suit), study one element like crazy, and run for master with the intention of landing high up on that element's war team.

Once again, thanks to all.
Its been a pleasure.

To echo, being in this war was a lot of fun and a great learning experience. I think we can all say that. I liked it better when I was playing in matches, but I still tried to stay involved. I hope to continue my development as a player and I'd like to participate in the next war, if RL permits and the community (or if I'm not picked to a team, RNG in the UW tourney) wishes. I hope you guys don't mind a long post but I wanted to say something to each and every one of you (and actually somehow I have time to right now).

@phaedrus: Don't sweat the mark. I'm sure you saved us from more penalties than you caused. You were always very involved in the vault preparations along with sevs and the two of you really ran this team more than anyone else (if anyone feels I am short-changing them, I am sorry. I had a limited perspective due to my level of involvement and am only saying what it looked like from there). We fed ideas but you two made the decisions that needed to be made. You came up with a lot of creative ideas and I learned a lot from you. If we both enter the tourney next time I only hope that we don't have to face each other before we make the team -- you are a valuable ally and would make a formidable foe.

@sevs: You handled the reins of this team very well, even before you were made general. If I do enter the trials and win, you will be my first bid.

@t's: I know they say not to feed the trolls but I would like to give you a cookie. Or you could feast on the entrails of some of the other elements we defeated. Or maybe I should feed you goats (http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html). Your pick. You were the quintessential member of team UW, which is of course the troll team of the war. You are a clever troll to boot, and more than being a great mascot/cheerleader, you were a valuable member of our team in every way!

@Shining: It was a lot of fun talking to you during the tourney and reading your comments about all the matches. I was glad when we ended up being teammates. You're a really nice guy and I'm glad we could fight together. May you be as effective in all future endeavors as you have been in this war.

@Long: It was fun talking during the tourney about the prospect of seeing each other in the final and then having it really happen. I think you are a good guy but you really need to tone it down sometimes and be more considerate of others. I appreciate your zeal but to be honest I don't think you handled the authority of being general very well. I still enjoyed fighting alongside you but I do regret my decision to choose you for that position. I'd play on your team again but I share phaedrus' reservations about serving under you again. If you do want to be a master, I'd recommend that you work a little on your attitude or else you'll have a tough time getting votes.

@Life: I really underestimated you for a long time. You had some keen insights especially when you predicted aether's exact deck one round. You have real skillz. You are also usually too cool for periods and capital letters and a nice guy. Respect that you did it all from a dial-up connection.  :o

@Aitvaras: If you ever read this, I just want to thank you for being involved for as long as you were. You seem to have disappeared entirely from the forums lately. If we ever meet I will buy you a hertog jan beer. You were a great team member.

If I was a master I would mellow out a lot, trust me. I will change how I act, it's just hard to let things go once I get on to them. That will change, I promise.

Also pheadrus I don't really mind what you said besides the skill part. ( because everything else was true. ) I am fairly sure my in game skill is much better than almost everyone I played so far, and that is counting the master of aether too. I think outside the box unlike a lot of players, and the only misplay I ever did was not BBing my own creatures form the start vs Willng3 when me and him played and even then I might not have won. I seem to remember winning games I should not have. I made a deck with wings and bonewalls as it's only form of defense own fractix ( tough I got screwed in the end, my own fault ). I honestly don't see where you come from with the skill part of your post. Now you did say because I wanted a weak element for trails and stuff, do you know why I said that? I was not talking about it being easy to win, by weak I meant a weak or terrible master/no master. I don't want to beat a good master that did fine for their title. I want to give a team a fighting chance next war. Like gravity.
Honestly though I made 1 and only 1 error in judgment/misplay that I remember, the only reason I did not choose option 2 was because I thought I could win before things got bad. So really it might not have even been a misplay.
anyways you have proven yourself this war no doubt, maybe not so much in games but as keeping us from getting pens and last minute things.

Lifelockable I would like to say sorry to you. You had good ideas but it seemed you did not really get heard, I am really sorry, I can sit here and give reasons but I was a bad general in that area all the same.

Neo I am sorry you regret picking me as general, yes I acted poorly at times, and a little too outspoken. I am very sorry. I can sit here and make some dumb excuse  but I was acting poorly at times. A few times I think I was justified in the way I acted, that goes double towards Aether, many of you were not in the room a few times when they pressured me to sub for one of you or something. It was BS, like with Sevs once when he was still well within the time limit, I could not play elements at the time I am told them that. They still said sub or forfeit. So any way I acted towards Aether and any of their players besides like 1 or 2 I will never say sorry about, just to make that clear. Neo I wished you had the upped cards to be general, I admit you most likely have more in game skill than myself and would have been a great general.

tttt it was fun. You are a great troll and team mate, You are one of the people I will max bid on. Just save messages next time. XD I personally believe that if you had played you would have won.

Shining, you were not always around as much as some of the others in this section but you were helpful, I would prolly bid on you, no I am almost certain I would.

Sorry Long, should have been more specific.
By "game play" I meant the "game" of war and elements on the whole. The game is about much more than being able to play a deck at its max efficiency for a given matchup. A master should really understand all the relationships between elements and how to capitalize on them in a long term PvP scenario. I'm not saying that I don't think you're capable, just that there is work to be done. Frankly, I think the trial system isn't built to select the best war general per se and that many masters don't have as firm a grasp on war when they enter it as they could. I want to see Generals that really know whats up, and I'm not sure you (or any of us really) are there yet.

Ok I understand, and know what your saying, I already thought of that. I think most of us could lead an elements team if we wanted to. It just requires time, skill to win the title, and a little luck. We just went through a war and shocked everyone. Now understanding all elements I get what your saying, you mean vault building and deck building. Like gravity showed you just can't go mono. You also have to know other elements in order to counter them. I do ask just so I know, why do you believe I don't have this?

Just in case you forgot, we need to send our winner deck and our beautiful/awesome/genius/good looking deck for the war archives, so someone should go see which deck gave us more wins, and get a poll up for the second thing.

So I've only been around in the start realy, but I did surely watch every match result and alot of the discussion. I enjoyed this quite a bit but for me to get into this game again War has to be reshaped for sure. I did finaly grind up and get the important uniques and one fully upgraded t50 grinder.. so atleast War stimulated me to do that, but I've lost any motivation in playing this game for anything less than War, unfortunatly. My roll wasn't the most "fun" and other people clearly had more grip on it than me (being active and skilled at deck building) so I've been busy with RL knowing I wouldnt have to worry.

Next UW Tournament I might give a shot, I will probably be a student at that time, and that will give me alot more time to do silly internet games :D
Hoping our paths will cross again for yet another great War.

Ahhh guys I finally found this topic!

Well my thoughts on this war is that I was lucky to even be here! I only started playing like three months before the war and I made it onto the War team! Not to toot my own horn but I guess I was the most unknown player on here so I dont really blame anyone for the lack of taking my views into account, by the next war I will be even better (if I can ever find a freaking deck I like to farm FG's with lol, seriously I havle like 4000 game and 1000 losses are from them xD)

Well seeing as I am far too lazy to address every single member I will address the team as a whole, you guys were all awesome in you own rights, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US EARNED OUR RIGHT TO BE ON THIS TEAM! I feel like War would be alot better if people had to play a tourney to make a team like we did.

I dont really expect to be picked for a team next War(again I am the unknown soldier) so I expect to fight in underworld again! I just hope I dont have to face any of you for it!

I also hope to have highspeed by the next wa so I can be more of a help when it comes to vault and things like that xD

So till next time we meet underworld side by side on the battlefield or vice versa!

 

anything
