What will be different in War #3

B) getting rid of the whole Rookie thing

My word might not mean anything because I haven't participated in a war.  However, I failed to understand the true purpose of having Rookies.  The War is meant to be for those who know what is going on.  Having less than three months of experience doesn't really show an understanding of what is going on.

The point is to try to include people who are fairly new and wouldn't have been bid otherwise a chance to join the community. It does end up being a bit of a crapshoot for whether your rookie even maintains interest throughout the war though. There are some people though who joined the war as rookies and are now very active members.

Here is what i think about rookies,

Yes it is to give new players a chance to actually make it into the war with no chance of being bid on, but for the players that have not been bid on there is Underworld.

So my opinion is, no rookies.

I think there are a lot more people who don't have a chance of being bid on than there are spots on team underworld.

I don't think thats a problem, is it? We could simply make 1 more round to the underworld tourny and make rounds smaller? ( Also, there should be someone that closely look at it for inactivity)

Just an idea,  but how about an Fantasy style draft for team members instead of bidding.  All players fill out a draft sheet like in war #2,  Next all the General's assign a value to each application, all council members assign a value to each app, all values are added to generate a draft # or ranking #. 
The higher the number ranks 1st on the draft list,  This would create some interesting Teams to say the least. 

Then, on one weekend all Generals show up for "LIVE" Elements Draft.  I really think the chat lobbies would fill, and forums would go nuts with every update "with the 1st overall pick Team  selects Dragoon"  Just not sure if all the prep is justified for something like this.

I think it would also be very hard to find a time when all 12 generals, who come from all over the world, could participate in a draft. If there was some way to solve that, then it might be an interesting way to do it.

This would be awesome, but it's the exact opposite of what SG wants (and I think she is right). The whole point of bid extensions in the current war was that a general had 24 hours to react to anything that happened, so time zones and availability are minimized as an issue.

I think it should be no more duel organizer..

I am so excited for war #3 to start..

When exactly does it start?

Finish War 2, then Trials, then War 3. At least 4-6 months, I think.

Gap between War #2 and War #3 will be lower than what the gap between War #1 and War #2 was. I would estimate that War #3 auction starts in 3-4 months.

We will have a separate PvP event called "The Draft" that will use something like this. More details about that event will be posted later.

- Underworld PvP tournament will be fought to the bitter end (instead of stopping when we have 8 players left). Winner of the tournament will get a "King of the Underworld" award icon and will have the power to either become the Team Underworld General, or appoint one. Top-8 players will form Team Underworld like before.

Awesome .

I have been keeping up on the war, and 1 thing I noticed was the subbing, and some people playing eachother more than once. For a few reasons both of these things seem to annoy me.
Subbing seems like it could be abused alittle, and 2 people playing eachother twice seems kind of "meh". 8 people on each team and 12 teams, there is little reason why 2 people should play eachother twice back to back or even with only a few rounds apart. Though the decks might be differrent I know I would personaly like to play different people every time.
Also "events" sound like fun and they add another element to the war. ( no pun intended ) Not sure why they were not in this war but if they seemed unfair maybe we should hold a topic talking about events alone?

Been there, done that, topic locked. As for subbing, depends on how you'd abuse it. And definitely agreed on the two players battling twice in a row, but that's like going rainbow -> rainbow -> rainbow -> rainbow (that is, determined by the RNGod)
