I think for the next round, Warmaster should either wait to get a PM from Masters/Generals on how many can play or go in and count home element cards in losing decks and subtract that from the vault. Yeah, that's a lot of work so I'd recommend getting PMs from the Masters.
Going and just checking the Vaults/Standings doesn't help because that's how many cards we have at the beginning of the round, before we lose any matches. I imagine most teams don't update their Vault until sometime during the deckbuilding phase (and probably towards the end of it).
So making these seedings this quickly just to start the timer is kinda pointless unless you know how many and who will be playing. I think it just gets players frustrated since they can't work on making any decks since they don't really know who they're playing. And yes, it matters to know exactly who you're playing, not just the element. Sometimes you know a certain player tends to play more aggressively or passively or if they favor certain strategies. It makes a difference in my opinion.
Not meant to be scathing. Just trying to offer constructive criticism.
Last time we waited for PM's, deckbuilding got postponed 3-4 days.
I actually checked the Vaults and subtracted cards lost during round 4. I did this for all teams. Problem with
was that apparently you guys hadn't updated your Vault. I used the unupdated one to make my calculations.
It takes 2 minutes for you guys to edit the Vault, but it might take 20-30 minutes for us organizers to fix the confusion following by us using an outdated Vault. This is something that will be luckily fixed during War #2 when we have someone on the team who is in charge of the Vault, if it still fails, we will start issuing heavy penalties.
I have a very simple fix for this seeding thing. As xdude won't be available for round 5, Antagon from team
will take his place.
