[TimerClock14]

[TimerClock14]

Question:

Why are elements not distributed evenly? It seems some elements are having a biased lineup playing 2 or more matches against the same element.

I understand... you are scared to meet Death.  But, don't worry... once you join our legion those mortal feelings will vanish.

lol, I was actually thinking it was unfair on you to face the better team twice in the first round, but ok.

I'd rather slaughter the opposition in fair stead so it could not be said that I got lucky but rather our team is skilled.

[TheCrazyMango]

yea i just dont wanna deck out...

[Demagog]

a rocky start? unless you get great hands and he gets horrible ones, you will be destroyed

Too bad Elements doesn't work that way alone. We are perfectly capable of creating a deck that can beat the deck they create, just as much as they are of creating one that can beat ours. PvP experience is a very minor factor in determining the outcome of matches. Assuming the decks are evenly matched and neither player has bad luck, then the game just comes down to decisions and card order. No one is psychic, so you can't know if your decision will be the right one or not. So, assuming that they both have the same chance of making poor decisions, the remaining factor of player influence is adaptation.

So far Timer has been testing a lot of decks, and I assume he will get in a lot of practice with the one he will be using this round, meaning he will know how to adapt to the deck jmdt uses.

My point: This early in the war, the likelihood of a person winning their match is about equal to everyone else's. Only masters and lieutenants have a slight advantage.

well...with that said, I guess I'll use my free time to experiment.

I had an idea to beat that sort of strong vs weak bias, but didn't make the rules in time.

You had until a few hours ago to tell SG... before matches were made the rules regarding them could have been changed.

I had talked to SG a month or two ago about the idea and it was decided it would be good for the next war.  It wasn't like I just sat on it for the past four months.

Lol ok... don't see why it wasn't added for this one, but I guess she has a reason.

Lol ok... don't see why it wasn't added for this one, but I guess she has a reason.

It was mildly complicated and involved breaking up the teams into a tier system and then reevaluating scores to determine who's where.
