Deckbuilding deadline at Thursday? I don't think we win any days by not sticking to the usual Wednesday-Saturday, Sunday-Tuesday rhythm.
I think the best day for deckbuilding/testing is Saturday, and while I don't know everone's schedule, I can safely say that an average human has more
free time on weekends.

And please, please Naii have some mercy on Europeans with that 5AM (soon 4AM, due to DST)! I think the usual GMT 00:00 suits every needs:
Europeans, Americans, Australians...

Naii, I respect you for doing this immense amount of work, at the same time please try to consider that deckbuilding always gets finished around
deadline, which means the only really suitable deadline is which doesn't really upends participant's daily life cycle.

[worldwideweb3]

The deadline of 5 am doesn’t really matter much. You should just set your own deadline to be earlier if u want and get stuff done before u sleep. 5 am deadline is fine, u have four days for it.

[Wyand]

I wouldn't have written that post if I would operate your way. I'm not asking the impossible, I'm merely asking what was usual until now (and more sensible).

[worldwideweb3]

The usual has been the deadline that the WM can make

[serprex]

I'm sure you could ask Naii to enforce penalties on if there's vault edits after 5 hours before deadline

That said, he may've made the same mistake I initially made in scheduling last war. Deadline should generally be Saturday evening, which has often settled on 0 UTC Sunday deadlines. I can do vault checks at that time if it isn't a good time for Naii

[Naii_the_Baf]

It is actually better for me to check vaults on Thursday rather than on Wednesday. That being said, Wednesday should be good for me as well.
If everyone's fine with getting one less day to build decks this round, I can move the deadlines one day back so that rounds end on Sunday GMT 03:00 rather than on Monday.

EDIT: I can't read.

[Wyand]

It is getting confusing. Thursday vs. Wednesday? One less day? No please.

I was referring to the fact, that usually deckbuilding is Wednesday-Saturday, playing matches is Sunday-Tuesday.
I kinda think there are others here sharing the problem that weekdays are for work, and no time for decktesting.

Yeah, if we eliminate the fact that I'm a deadline person, I wanted to be sure that there is a WM when I finish vault. I couldn't sleep without knowing that everything is alright,
and got checked out by WMs.

Deadlines updated

cool,  thank you, Naii!

[Zyardran]

Is there a limit to how many soldiers can use gambler?

[Naii_the_Baf]

No. Teams can have all 3 of their soldiers be Gamblers.
