War #6 - General Discussion

[Jenkar]

Bugged. Go ask Xenocidius or UTAlan about it :F

Nevermind, I disabled the "Show WYSIWYG editor on post page by default" option in my profile, seemed to fix all problems.

What is the plan if we do not get enough players?

[hainkarga]

If you don't count support, which is not mandatory, 6 roles x 12 elements = 72 people. we have 53 applicants and 12 generals. Assuming no current applicant changes his/her mind of participating, we really just need 7 more applicants in 8 days days, no ?

[Helston]

You mean 60 people, but starting War with teams of 6 (no support member) is the most likely option, assuming we get the 60 people instead of 72.

[hainkarga]

We have 3 warmasters ? We can pressure two of them to join the event instead and let Jenkar solo stuff :p

Spoiler for Hidden:

We're now at 62 applications, so unless we get another 10 we will be playing without support team members.  It's unfortunate that that's the position we're losing, as it's not a serious problem to have any upgrade-and-rare-poor players on your team.  This also means (I assume) section 7 of the rules will be completely axed, relics will be axed, teammates will not switch to support teams later in War, and upgrades won't increase throughout War.  I'm hopeful the WMs will consider putting a different role on the chopping block.

If team sizes are modded down before bidding starts due to fewer applicants, how will number of blind bids, number of total bids, number of cards in vault, etc. be changed?

[Jenkar]

No changes are planned (to all those numbers).

Hello war participants!

So quick theoretical question. If I had submitted an application for this war, would anyone have wanted me? Would I be considered a valuable member, or a war noob?
I like to consider myself a strong player, but my knowledge of unupped meta is limited and I have no prior war experience.

you would have been in easily looking at the number of war noobs that are in.  You prove you can play the game already so you would have had a big advantage here.  As to how valuable you would be.. for the bidding part it only depends at how badly 2 masters can want you.. after it, it's up to you to do what you got to do to become valuable which would mean out of price next war

You would have been in.
