War - Questions and Answers

[QuantumT]

i have yet to see either WM post here but i do hope this get a response as soon as possible
from what i've seen, penalties for last war was officially informed by SG in Salvaging/Discarding (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7810.0.html) thread

there was no official info on penalty this time around and all we've got is hearsay (chat and secret forum posts)
its funny (no, not at all) because the first mention of darkness penalty was made by kevkevs in some other thread (Standings?)
cant you guys post an official statement regarding penalties somewhere so that we know and can discuss about it?

First off, I'm the only warmaster as of this week, but thanks for bringing this up again

 I'll probably a start a penalties thread soon. I've been PMed by masters about penalties as well.

Fair enough. Sometimes real life stuff gets in the way. Probably wouldn't hurt to say that it's been thought of will be resolved when possible, just so they know it has been thought of.

Just add them in the round topics. This way everyone sees them and there's no need to start a new topic. The less topics the better.

As far as I know, there have been no penalties so far. I decided not to penalize teams for missing member role topics because it was only the leader who failed, not the team (they were unaware that this topic was supposed to be started). Also it happened before the event really even started and was not that big of a deal.

Only "penalty" that I know of is team replacing a player for 6 cards. These should be added in the round topic as well.

Only because you wouldn't let us replace him before the event started.

Immolation in Team Time also posted/used a wrong deck.

Correction: I didn't let you replace him for free. He did post on your secret forum section and there was no solid proof, only a suspicion, that he wouldn't show up.

Yeah, that too. I'm not sure if it's added to the standings yet, but I know I haven't put it there.

Mh... Where do cards from Propaganda get in the Salvage/Discard topic?

I took that as implied, since we were talking about the replacement penalty.

Also, we were right weren't we?

Yes, you made a guess, which happened to be correct. It was a guess 90%+ of people, myself included, would have made. But that doesn't matter because there was a possibility of us all being wrong. Tomatoman could have proved us all wrong and won the event all by himself.

The free replacement thing was only for teams who had players who never even showed up. Penalizing teams for that would have been kind of unfair, especially if the players in question cost a lot of cards. Your leaver did show up, even though only briefly, and didn't give any indication of having quit. He wasn't offline long enough to get a label of being "missing", therefore replacing him for free was not an option.

It's the same situation is someone from any other team now disappears: there will be no free replacements after teams have been confirmed and the event has started.

Purely out of curiosity, what would happen if 1.26 came out in the middle of the War?
Would the teams just be stuck dealing with any significant changes?

I don't see any other option really.

[Indrejue]

would have no affect because none of those cards would be in any team vaults so you would not be able to get them in anyhow. 
opps forgot if they update some of the cards like increasing or decreasing power could be a problem.  probably will not happen till end of war for those.

[EvaRia]

The thing is though, Zanz is ultimately in charge of when the game updates happen.
I doubt he's going to delay a significant update to the game when he's done working on it just because War is still happening.
I could be wrong though. Also, if there's a significant enough change in the UI or nerfs to some particularly key cards in the vaults of the teams, then problems could still happen within the war.

It probably won't happen, but it's still good to keep back-up plans.
