I'd like to sign up. I need to get those card ideas out of my brain anyway.

Of course, I could actually make some cards, but a tournament seems much more fun and interesting (and I don't have to spend 3 hours searching for the perfect picture).

Yo Kuro, I think that you need to add more space for more people.. ^^;;

Post by: Five In One on March 20, 2011, 01:32:08 pm
I agree. When 3/4 of the people join something in the first 5 hours, you know you're gonna need to make more slots available.

Yo Kuro, I think that you need to add more space for more people.. ^^;;
Oh christ. I didn't expect this competition to be THAT popular with the War going on and all, but...

How's this - I'll extend it to a maximum of 24 (I can't reserve players in this format, because I need time to set up the ACTUAL competition, you know?), and if it pushes beyond that, 32 final. But this also means that the last 'tournament' round would be a face-off between 3 ideas, which might seem a little bit odd, since it's not so much a duel as a battle royale...

Thanks for the sign-ups folks! :) I'll find a solution to this, promise.

EDIT: Maximum will extend to 32 - HOWEVER, if there aren't at least/exactly 32 participants by the time this comp. ends, only the top 16 will be allowed into the tournament.

I'm available until the 3rd of April, then I will only have a free day (to actually go online) once every 3/4 or so until 24th April, then totally free again for a few weeks. Will that be an issue? It may mean forfitting a round (should I ever get anywhere lol). I wouldn't want to spoil the tournament by having to give up in a round, but I would also like to enter :s

Assuming you can get far into the tournament (i.e. - round 2 and 3), forfeiting will mean that you automatically lose (and therefor, be unable to continue in the tournament). However, I'm not going to stop you if you want to participate, and I get the sudden feeling that because of how relatively easy it is to make the cards (note the lack of a table for the code), the 'matches' between the players will be a lot shorter than what I originally thought, unless people decide to procrastinate...

Anyway, I put you in, but if something comes up, let me know ASAP.  ;)

THE TOURNAMENT HAS BEGUN!

See the brackets for your match-up and also the spoiler tag which has your name - you -MUST- design a card that has that artwork within your spoiler tag (no exceptions/modifications!), and you must fulfill the requirements for the round as well. Good luck!  :)

How do you create cards?
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,7251.0.html

This topic provides the card image builder tool that's used mainly on the forums. For this competition, you only need to put the images in the code provided on the front page. For actual card-making, see this topic for details: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5039.0.html

use that picture to make a card without edit anything.  right?  (even hue or add BG....  )

ok...  i'l try my best    :D 

edit:  oh...  and special requirements too...   

The card must cost an even number of quanta. (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.) <<< can divided by 2.  right?   ^-^

You can submit competition ideas once they are no longer part of the competition (i.e. - you drop out/lose the tournament early before the competition ends). I'm glad that you like your idea though. :) Some of these pictures/requirements can be somewhat frustrating for all card makers a lot, especially in the later rounds...

Try this link instead: http://pixlr.com/editor/

It's a special image editing program that can also be used to make a card. The attachment below holds the VERY old card template builder, but I hope it still works. If it doesn't, please notify me immediately if you can.

Once the Voting phase is over, that topic will be locked, and the original topic here will be updated with the new brackets, artwork for the duels, and special requirements. It is your responsibility to check up on this topic when the phases switch over to note of any drastic changes.

Kuro- Do you mind if I still make cards for the competition not to be voted on but for people to see?
If you plan on submitting them to the actual Competition submission sticky in the other board, please don't; no offense to you or anyone else who wants to design cards despite being knocked out the War, but I don't want to increase the time it takes for me to set up the polls and card images between each stage if people design 'competition cards' that are technically not going to be part of the competition. (See how confusing that is?)

On the other hand, if you actually want to make cards using the art and just submit it to the Crucible candidates thread with the correct table (after the competition is OVER), go ahead. :) You might want to figure out the source of the art first (or I can help you locate it if necessary).

hmm... can i use the spaceship image to make a card myself, but not to the tournament? It wouls fit almost all requirements (that Idiot would have to face) :P
Not yet. Please wait until the competition is over before using the images in question.

That said... the Final Round has begun! Please pray for both of the challengers, and major props to them getting this far in the first place. :)

(Like before, the creation phase will end if candidates send their entries in early.

You cannot use the word, 'Elite', in the card NAME.
The COST of both cards must be an even number. (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12...)
Both cards cannot have the same COST.
The COST of both cards must be a minimum of 7 quanta. (Example: Obsidian Dragon, Thorn Carapace, Rain of Fire)
The COST of both cards needs to be equal to the number of characters (numbers and letters) in your forum name. (Example: Kuroaitou = 9 letters; the card must cost 9 quanta)


Okay, something must be changed. How do they find 2 different numbers, which both equal to their forum names? One of the option should be dropped or Math is different within the realms of elements :P

Actually, you're misunderstanding the requirements - from the list in the original post, the participants can CHOOSE which 5 requirements their cards meet - for example, if I had the name 'Tenletters', I could satisfy 3 of those requirements above by having both cards cost 10; the COST of both of those cards would be equal to the # of characters in my hypothetical name, be a minimum of 7 quanta, AND both of the cards' COSTS are an even number. It doesn't satisfy the 'cannot have the same COST' rule, but it does do a good job in fulfilling the rest.  ;)

Wait a second: Let's say i decide to make a spell with the spaceship card, ok? Then i choose these requirements:

# If the card is a creature, it must have a passive skill. (Example: Airborne, Poisonous, Voodoo, Obsession)
# If the card is a creature, it must have a equivalent stats to a creature already in its element. (Example: If it's a Gravity creature, it could have stats of 0|3 like the Otyugh, or 2|30 like the Elite Armagio. If it's a Time creature, it could have stats like Deja Vu with 1|1, etc.)
# If the card is a creature, it MUST have an active ability of the opposite element. (Examples: Steam Machine, Anubis)
# If the card is a permanent, it must have an activated ability. (Examples: Golden Hourglass, Pulverizer, Trident, Trebuchet, Mindgate)
# If the card is a permanent, it must have some form of 'counters' or a timed duration to it. (Examples: Bone Wall, Sundial, Hope, Wings, Phase Shield, Cloak)

I can fit all 5 requirements and yet do any card of my choice, as long as it's a spell! Or did I miss something in the wording?

Your interpretation of the wording is a bit off, and it's also exploiting a loophole.

For the purpose of this round, "If the card is x card type, then y" means "The card must be of x card type and have y"

Ah, was just pointing a possible mistake in the way it worked. ;)  Last thing we needed was someone IN the competition doing that, eh?

Thank you.
