War #12 - General Discussion

[ddevans96]

While I like the market system, it seems to be much more Google Docs heavy than the previous 1-1 system. It is obvious that at least our current War Masters have problems with it without the help of the admins. I wonder if we should either go back to the previous 1-1 system or find an entirely new system in order to avoid such situations in the future...

EDIT: if this is in the wrong topic, please move it in the correct one.

I don't necessarily disagree with your overall point (I wouldn't revert to 1-1 at all, there are good compromises between balance and complex that can be explored), but you're conflating two different issues here. The Admins being busy this week only affects the creation and assignment of secret sections, not anything pertaining to the vault document itself.

So are we any closer to secret sections, and will vaultbuilding be 2 weeks from when we get the sections?
Presumably round 1 not till new years now?

The countdown started when we got the vaults through pm. Vaultbuilding ends in:
No time remaining

Is this also propaganda deadline? How can we find out whether we need more effort into propaganda?

Propaganda doesn't even get mentioned in the rules anymore, not since War 7. It makes that part of the event a fully self motivated activity

I'm pretty sure propaganda is mentioned as giving relics for effort. I don't know if it's in the official rules though.

There is no word about Propaganda in the official rules. But. Check the Propaganda subsection, where jijo explicitly
states that there WILL BE^* rewards for making propaganda.

If this gets reopened, I will sign it again.

Since Manual screwed up and obviously no one likes www3, I think we can all pitch in for the greater good of the community. Everyone buys a couple SoFrees and throws them into a suicide deck to air, letting air terrorize aether once again. In return, Manual doesn't rage when my dusk mantle blocks 100% of his dragons even with 6 SoFree played.

"manual"

[dawn to dusk]

Yeah cause you're about to teach this fool how to play

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:
