This is a rough timeline of what we are aiming for with each of our deadlines and major portions of War.

DateEvent
July 24War Applications Begin
~August 7Application Time Closes / Blind Bidding Begins
~August 8Open Bidding Begins
~August 11Open Bidding Ends / Overtime Begins
~August 17Overtime Ends / Vault Building Begins
~August 29/30Vault Building Ends / Round 1 Begins
Rounds each 1 week long.......(maybe the odd extension if needed due to holidays)
~November ??War Ends



This timetable is based off everything going smoothly as planned (enough Apps at start of Auction time, and assuming 6 days for overtime). if these are not met, we may delay Round 1 start by up to 1 week, but no more than a week. We would like to start Deckbuilding Phases on a Monday or Tuesday, so that the majority of the Dueling Phase will be on the weekend.

I've made a significant rule change regarding the deck/vault discards.

There was some concern regarding the large number of discards coming directly from the vault, combined with a handful of extremely cheap cards in the market. To prevent teams from exploiting this and buying very large numbers of 10-cost cards to completely mitigate their vault discard penalties, I've changed the deck/vault discard model, and raised the minimum price of cards in the market to 30 points.

The previous discard model for losses:
RoundFrom DeckFrom VaultTotal Discards
1055
24610
38715
4+12820

This has been changed to:
RoundFrom DeckFrom VaultTotal Discards
1505
28210
311415
4+14620

I'm sorry for posting this so close to the beginning of War, but I really feel like this would have had a negative impact on the event if left unchanged. This is something I should have noticed quite some time ago, but thankfully it was brought to my attention today.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. Good luck and have fun!

Sadly, Avenger has had to withdraw from War.

As the event has not started yet, Team Earth will be refunded 90% of the points spent on him in the auction, and will be allowed to bid on one new player at minimum price as a replacement.

If anyone has any issues with this decision, please raise them in the feedback thread here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/war/war-10-suggestions-and-feedback/

Preparation tabs in each team's vault tool are not currently working properly - upgrades calculators aren't functioning as they should. I'll try to have this fixed within the next few hours so it doesn't get in the way of deckbuilding.

Council has hired a Temporary WM to aide in finishing the current War smoothly and on time, due to RL conflicts and time availability of the current WMs.

Thank you to Jenkar for stepping up and helping the current WMs finish what they could not.
