IV: Activity
- In order for a war to be considered active, at least 1 match must be played each 3 days.
- Violating this rule will result in a warning, which gives you 48 hours to organize a war match or else the war will be finished accordingly.
- Violating it again will result in the finishing of the war without any warning given. - If the opposite team is inactive, you are required to post screenshots of rejected challenges, inactive player profiles, and any other information that may help the Admins in their decisions. Forgetting to post these may influence the outcome of the war.
- Admins may end your war due to the above inactivity rules or the 25 day deadline.
- If a war is not complete by deadline, Admins may grant you a one-time only extension.
V: Disputes
- If a player has to go during a duel, they forfeit it upon leaving. If a player has to go in between duels of a match (during siding), it may continue later.
- Before a player leaves a war duel, both players need to screenshot their decks and send their screenshots to an Admin in order to guarantee decks were not edited.
- If screenshots are not submitted, the players may not side for the next game. - If a situation cannot be resolved between you and your opponent, you may contact an Admin. Please be patient while waiting and explain the situation carefully.
VI: Disconnections
- A game loss is enforced in almost all cases involving a player dropping out during a war duel for whatever reason.
- Immediately following the disconnection, screenshots of the entire deck should be sent to an Admin
- If screenshots are not submitted, the players may not side for the next game. - If it is proven that advantage was favoring the disconnecting player to the point that their victory was ensured, an Admin may award them as the winner of the Duel instead.
- If it is proven that advantage was favoring the disconnecting player or in special cases (e.g. both players lose connection at the same time while none of them is in leading position) Admins may grant them a reduel instead.
- If the disconnection occurs during siding, the match resumes from the point at which the disconnection occurred.
VII: Punishments
- Team Leaders: Purposefully ignoring an Admin's decision, refusing to submit war results, or any other intentional misuse of your position will result in a Leadership Ban. Evading a Leadership Ban will result in a Permanent War Ban.
- Attempting to be active on multiple teams at the same time, using more than one account on the same team, Cheating, Lying to an Admin, Faking Evidence and any other malicious conduct will result in a Permanent War Ban. Evading a War Ban will possibly result in an IP ban.
