Round 4 - Deckbuilding
Time's Up

Below are round 4 matches selected randomly using http://www.random.org/lists/ . Teams now have to build a 30+ card deck for each team member.

When choosing your 30+ card deck, try to take into consideration your opponents possible strengths and weaknesses. Also recheck War deckbuilding rules. Illegal decks are an automatic loss.

Do not post your decks in public topics! Masters have been informed on where and how to post the decks.

Do not start battles just yet! This part is only for deckbuilding.

1 day??? You gotta be kidding me...

1day and 11 hours

[safko01]

It started with 2 days like all the others and I made an announcement several hours before I did the seeding saying if I didn't hear from Jumba by midnight I would proceed to do the seedings.

[syco666]

yeah he did give fair warning, and gave two days, plus we've already lost a few days because of all the madness, we've gotta get this show no the road!

[xdude]

Er... the others used to be 3 days...

Is it really that hard to follow the RULES (http://"http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7514.msg97957#msg97957"):

Like previously, one round will last a total of 6 days. Instead of using the old 2/4 system, we are changing to:

3 days of deckbuilding and salvaging/discarding
3 days of duels

This was changed because deckbuilding is such a crucial part of the whole thing, and only 2 days to complete it is not nearly enough.

3 days of deckbuilding and salvaging/discarding - this means 3 days for deckbuilding and salvaging. Not day and a half, not two. 3.

3 days of duels - this means losses to - match that never happened. Not forfeit after several days with salvaging.

to every rule there is an exception and as we havent had 20 billion wars yet, things are still trial and error, as the war master if he deems it fit to take off a day because they spent 3 days getting their heads out of their rear then thats how its gotta be. ill agree that dark and gav shoulda both got a loss but as it was a first time for the problem we had to work it out first, maybe we can add an insert to the rules "both loses unless one forfeits" asuming that even tho both tried they couldnt battle AND no one could sub for them.

long story short, no reason to tell the war master how to do his job =/

Ahand yet again, darkness will not be fighting earth.  Random seeding FTW!

well u have to remmber we started out with 6 pplz from 12 diffrent elements, thats like 6*12=X! and for those that arnt mathematically inclined, X! = 72! wich then = 1*2*3*4*5*6... etc, all the way up to *72 >>A VERY BIG NUMBER MY ti 83 cant calculate it "ERR: OVERFLOW" XD<< , thats how many diffren seeds u could have lol, divide that by 12! is 479001600 btw and thats like the chances of not runnin into an elements per round >>thats a big exaggeration but meh u get my point =P<<

Edit: i apologize for this, i got carried away with the mathematical probability of them not facing darkness in a single round, really the chances of them not facing darkness per round is 72 to 6, its the 4th round not runnin into darkness that it gets into that kinda complicated math >>to many candy bars<<

Yes, but this deckbuilding phase has already lasted what, 4 days? We need to get War back on track which is why I think 2 days is perfect.

I would imagine that teams had some idea what they were going to (or could) play, and simply make the necessary adjustments during those 48 hours after seeing this new seeding. Teams that took a holiday during those "dark days" and have planned nothing, only have themselves to blame.

Yes, exactly. Warmaster has the final say in everything, and he most likely knows more details about the situation than regular players.

Decision has been made. It's time to move on.

3 days for deckbuilding AND DISCARDING AND SALVAGING.  I didn't forget the rules.  Discarding and salvaging began last Friday.  If you split the rule in half it would be a day and a half for discarding and salving and a day and a half for deckbuilding.  I have given you 2 days for deckbuilding and you have had over 4 days for deckbuilding and salvaging.  You will have had about 6 days to do everything needed by the end of it all.

I really apologize if some of you feel rushed but this really should be more than enough time.  As many people have pointed out this is the first ever war and my first week in this first war.  Lets all try to get through this and take it as a learning experience and we will improve War 2.
