War - Rules

[xdude]

If, supposedly, I lead the biddings in exactly 6 people with, say, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 cards respectively and I am the second in a 7th (Player vzz) with 15 cards. However, Mr. BigBadMaster, who leads the auction of Player vzz with 16 cards wins other 6 Players, playing 22 cards for each. Do I get the first 6, or the last 6?

Um.. what?

If a General is the highest bidder on 7 players, he will win the 6 players he bid on the most. The 7th (smallest) bid will disappear like it never even existed, and the 2nd highest bidder of that player suddenly becomes the highest bidder.

I have no idea if this answered to your question but it was worth a shot.

Oh, OK, thanks, that answered my question

If a general bids the same on their sixth and seventh person, do they choose which one they take?

Yes.

We will have one universal auction clock. When the clock is running, Generals can bid on anyone. When the clock stops and there were no new bids made during the last 24 hours, the auction is over. If there were new bids made during the last 24 hours, we go to overtime, the clock gets reset back to 24 hours, and the minimum raise increases by one card.

Generals win 8 players that they bid the most, AND they were the highest bidder.

For example lets say I had made the following bids:

Player A - 9 cards (highest bidder)
Player B - 8 cards (3rd highest bidder)
Player C - 8 cards (highest bidder)
Player D - 7 cards (highest bidder)
Player E - 6 cards (highest bidder)
Player F - 6 cards (2nd highest bidder)
Player G - 4 cards (highest bidder)
Player H - 3 cards (highest bidder)
Player J - 3 cards (highest bidder)
Player K - 2 cards (highest bidder)
Player L - 2 cards (highest bidder)
Player M - 2 cards (highest bidder)

I would first win players A, C, D, E, G, H and J because they are my highest bids. I could then pick one from players K L and M because I bid the same amount on all of them. Lets say I pick would player K. My bids for players L and M would then disappear like they never even existed, making the persons who bid 1 card on Players L and M, the highest bidders.

My team would cost me 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 37 cards. This means that the starting Vault of my team would be 500 - 37 = 463 cards.
Bidding is basically a choice between buying expensive veteran players and starting with a card disadvantage, or buying cheap newbies but having a card advantage, or anything in between.

If a General fails to win the required 8 players, he/she has to buy one or more remaining players with a price of 24 cards. It is very important to bid on multiple different people to ensure that you will be the highest bidder in at least 8 occasions.

If I'm understanding the new rules correctly, shouldn't the highlighted areas be changed to 7, since the 8th person will be chosen after the auction?

Although, that brings up another question. What happens if two generals want the same person for their "noob"?

Since she used the word "recruited" in the War-News, I would have to assume the Rookie gets to pick their element.

[Daxx]

Also, is the bid limit 21 or 24?

[xdude]

So, we have to buy a rookie? -.-

[Salamence_747]

So, we have to buy a rookie? -.-

From what I've read, it looks like the rookie is chosen for free after the auction. So, no. You don't have to buy one.

Are you sure? I see no mention of that in the rules.
