NovaBlast's Marks https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=59676.msg1206870#msg1206870
« on: September 23, 2015, 04:00:28 pm »
A discussion today came up in the chat regarding NovaBlast's large use of Marks in his Arena decks.  MeowMeowCat and godisonlinenow both have seen his decks hold multiple Marks of Air and Fire but without screenshots.  I shortly thereafter played against his top ranked deck using the Mark of Gravity and a Colossal Dragon/Gravity Nymph combo.  In the 11 turns that the match lasted, he played 4 Mark of Gravitys.  His deck still held 40 cards and was doubled (due to Dexterity) confirming this deck has at least 2 Mark of Gravity cards.

The issue was arose that Nova has a high amount of Mark cards despite never winning a tournament (or active on forums under the IGN of NovaBlast). There were also no donations amounting the amount needed to donate to acquire that many Marks. 

Attached are several screenshots throughout the match.  Post below of your encounters with Nova if you could over the next few weeks when his mark changes.








Normally, something good would go here, but as I'm the type of lame guy who has no catchphrase, I'm afraid there's no hip, witty comment.

Just plain ultra boring rubbish which you've been suckered into reading

How do you know whether or not he donated? Does zanz release a record of those somewhere?

I believe Antiaverage lists donations.  I am not 100% sure though as I  was urged to post this as I happened to face his deck as the discussion occurred.

Donations to the game don't result in Mark codes being distributed, donations to the forums do. The list of forum donations can be found here.

At $80 per Mark, that would be quite a donation!  ;)
IIRC Donations made through the game only get you a Shard or Foil Chimera...
Donations for the forum can get you Mark Codes...
He's not on the list of current donors...  http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-news-and-announcements/forum-hosting-status/

(A full set of unupped Marks would cost you $5,760 in donations.)

Is this list to the donations made to the forum or to the game itself?  Does a donation to the game itself earn a Mark?

This list is for Forum Donations.
Donations made in game DO NOT receive Mark codes. Only Shard or Foil Chimera codes.

For the record NovaBlast's account appears to show no signs of hacking as far as Arena is concerned. There was a very old glitch that allowed users to obtain marks as well (which was also mentioned in chat, if I recall correctly.)

Notice upped nymphs also.

Is it possible that this is linked with the fact plat is being so dodgy atm?
Plat's weird activity looks like a separate issue/glitch for the time being. If anyone finds a connection between the two though please PM me and/or Higurashi.
