Teams last War failed at sending those in so there was no winner :(

Is the idea of organized subbing where arrangements are made ahead of time for one team member to take the place of another with normal salvage still permitted this War as it was for the last?

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly.  It looks to me like you describe the need for a normal subbing situation above.

Yeah I realize that my wording there was horrible x)

It's simpler for me to just provide you with examples, so here are a few cases that I'm referring to (note: I meant half-salvage not normal salvage, a thousand pardons)

Oh I see.  Last War Kael tried to make clear that there was no set policy on allowing half salvages, and I'll do the same here.  There's no set policy on allowing half salvages.  I'm of the opinion that if a match doesn't get done it's very likely because one player was more active than the other, and so the less active player's team should sub, salvage should be allowed for the more active, and not allowed for the subbing team.  We did without half salvages for the first two Wars and this War will see a lot fewer matches than last War, so I don't expect half salvaging will be necessary.

Last War's Warmasters were plagued with a bunch of "we were both equally inactive and we decided to split the salvage because the deadline is nearing" talk.  Which didn't and won't fly.  It's conceivable though that each player is online for 12 hours a day, can prove they were diligent in trying to schedule a match through a number of saved PMs back and forth, and just aren't able to connect due to being on different sides of this planet.  If something like this happens the players should contact the Warmasters before any decisions are made and we'll see what can be done.

What is the link to the deck construction and other rules for Underworld?  I doubt I'm the only person who has never participated in War before, so there might be a few others wondering the same thing.  I think I remember for the UW tourney they had to have 50% of any one element; does that extend to actual War as well?

Can we get some smarty types to fix the Standings thread to display the teams in order of current vault (as opposed to starting vault) pretty please?  :-*

If this is better posted in the Standing thread, please move it with my blessing.

Were any of the previous Wars this close by the end?  In round 10, everyone is going to have one deck. (including Light, because, if I understand the rules correctly, they'll get a bye again)
