I disagree, because the war is going to take a while, SG said 2 moths somewhere, and I don't schedule for 2 months, their can always happen something.
Relatively sure the war is supposed to last a month-ish, and then the rewards last for 2 months until the next war. i THINK at least

ugh life still has nothing but death got their decks all in. thank you mrblonde.
No problem. The extra 24 hours is nice though since we had to replace a member. Now we can as a team go over what to do for his matchup.

Concerning Xdude's post i would think that a guy replacing a Master would not be able to use the upped cards. Just my opinion though.

i personally dont think, the replacement thing should be limited, cause it could happen, exspecially with the few times, team size increased and the newbie-rule (no offense against my "newbie", Corrum is great!), and a 30-card-loss due to forfeit seems very hard. maybe 3 times and after that, you dont get salvation-cards, if you win, or anything like that, if we need such a penalty.

and, if a master cant fight, i think the substitute isnt allowed to use upgraded cards, cause at least a master should be able to stay in time-borders.

just my opinion

I think this whole event is a bit too fast and demanding. It is really hard to organize everything and discuss it with the other team members when you have only 2 days for a phase and you live in different time zones etc.
Everyone, (even masters) have other things to do (like work/school/family) and it might sometimes happen that they are unable to play for a few days.
Also, if someone loses connection to internet or his computer breaks, or he has an accident or something.

The main problem is that when something like this happens, a person with a sense of responsibility feels guilty of harming his army/element and decreasing their chances of winning, simply because he had an exam or some bigger project or an accident.

I think every phase should last at least 6-7 days (so that there is at least a single weekend day in it) and there need to be some procedures to allow people to replace each other. Yes, that would slow everything down and could lead to cheating/abuse but I guess we can try to find some way to speed it up and prevent cheating in other ways.

To make it clear, I have nothing against a situation when a single persons failure harms the entire team. That's how team play works. What I am concerned about is when random events or other things independent of our actions affecting one person would harm the entire team.

p.s.: I simply have 5 tests and 2 projects to finish this week and 3 exams next week :P
Yet I feel so responsible for my team that I spend time designing decks, tweaking them, thinking what decks our opponents might use etc... because I want my people (or whatever creatures they are) to win.
If I were to work on these projects, learn, prepare for exams etc... it would harm the entire team and I don't want that to happen.

So yeah, I would simply like to see the rules change in a manner that allows me to pass at least some exams nevertheless :P

ScaredGirls please don't punisht he teams now, it's like first war ever.
Have merci pls this time only.

It is really a hard job, that one from mexico writes only when i am sleeping and i am writing when he is sleepeing, so we could talk 2 times in 48 hours.

But there is mor than 1 discussion there.

He posts a deck, we sugest improvements.
he makes bad improvements.
We sugfest right improvements.
He make a right deck. (but there are not enough cards in the vault)
Rethink etc.

It's pretty hard :(

And  it's not a familiar process for us, cos it's the first deckbuilding

Next time i suggest all members from a team should be in a close time zone

i have a reason my decks werent made, (not my deck at least, i was still testing deck ideas against grav, thats no excuse though) anyway. the reason is because is was short a few people and needed to know who they were facing in order to make an appropriate deck for them, now that i do know who they are facing, i can get to making their decks (since some of them arent here right now, ill have to make theirs for them)
my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "its better than yours" damn right, its better than yours! i can teach you but i'd have to charge!

I so hate things, connected with my PC, happening from 13:00 UTC (16:00 EUT) time Friday to around 16:00 UTC (19:00 EUT). Usually at that time I'm not even sleeping at my place (biggest chances are I'm at a party or concert or just not in reach of any internet). That's not every weekend, but it happens most of the time. (There are times I'm available around 20-22 UTC, 23-01 EUT Friday and Saturday but it's never sure). So that 48 hours were painful for me not being able to get hold of a computer for more than writing that I won't be able to be online. I agree that phases should be either longer or contain week + weekend days.
