War #12 - General Discussion

[shockcannon]

Coach, put Hainkarga in.

Got someone to stream all War Matches (or most) that occur between 6:30pm to 5:45am UTC. It will be a YouTube stream no commentary. Here is the channel where they will take place: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZmhI7xv0PwBOwiqmQr4GOg

[MasterWalks]

Update: Since he is not in the game or forums, he will need notification if your match is about to happen. There is a discord link in the YT channel. If you could post the times your matches are happening, there is a better chance they will be streamed. Also, If your match happens a few hours after 5:45am UTC they may still be streamed; sleeping schedules are for the weak.

Just a reminder to all teams; if you will be dropping below 4 players playing (or think there is a chance you will) in a round, please make a post in your section stating who you want to play in the following round at least 24hours before the start of a round.

If you do not post at least 24hours before  we will be going by the order in the rosters page for players for building the round matchup brackets.

EDIT: if it is easier for convenience, feel free to just make one topic in your section for player order and just edit it (or a new post if you prefer) each round.

This would apply at the 3-matches-in-a-round level for "Player 4" teams of three players, right?

This is correct. Player 4 will automatically be removed first if a team only has 3 players on it.

But what if we LIKE having a wildcard?

[immortal feud]

yes i agree player4 is an advantage and should not automatically be the first player cut when a team plays 3 or less matches a round

[JonathanCrazyJ]

Imagind being the player you want less than no player at all.

Player 4 should of course go first.

Wait, you guys are serious? That's hard to believe...

I was almost facetiously asking, but given some of the responses I'm glad I asked and think the EM answer is 100% right.

No, not serious. That decision is common sense.

To celebrate DoubleCapitals fixing the formatting of his post for my minor convenience, going to share a python script that pulls in the decks played in a round. Invoke with a parameter of the URL of the round

Spoiler for code:

Code: [Select]

import asyncio
import aiohttp
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re
import csv

deckcode = re.compile(r'([4-8][0-9a-v]{2} ){30,60}8p[j-u]')

writer = csv.writer(open('result.csv', 'w'), quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)

sema = asyncio.BoundedSemaphore(16)
async def getsite(url, parser = 'html.parser'):
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with sema, session.get(url) as resp:
return BeautifulSoup((await resp.read()).decode('utf-8', errors='surrogateescape'), parser)

async def processMatch(x):
a = x.div.span.span.a
title = a.text
soup = await getsite(a['href'])
deckposts = soup.find_all('div', class_='post')
decks = [None, None]
for (post, i) in zip(deckposts, range(2)):
dcode = deckcode.search(post.get_text())
decks[i] = dcode and dcode[0]
writer.writerow((title.replace(',', '-'), a['href'], *decks))


async def processRound(a, page = 1):
pages = []
while a:
soup = await getsite(a)
pages.append(asyncio.gather(*(
processMatch(a) for a in soup.find_all('td', class_='subject windowbg2'))))
page += 1
a = soup.find('a', class_='navPages', text=str(page))
await asyncio.gather(*pages)

async def main():
from sys import argv
await processRound(argv[-1])

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
loop.close()


I'm a nub when it comes to this. Anyone feel like sharing all decks used list for this war?
