  • 12 Lives is nearing the end of the event at Round 7 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/12-lives-battle-results/12-lives-5-round-7/)! Only 8 players remain, with immortal feud having 3 lives, which is the most lives out of everyone. Will he stay at the top, or will someone else take his place? Stay tuned!

  • For those of you who missed 12 Lives, here's the 2019 PvP Event Schedule  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-events/2019-pvp-event-schedule/msg1288567/#msg1288567) so that you can find out what event will be next.

  • Have you ever had a great idea for a new PvP Event? Post your rule sets in the PvP Event Ideas (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/post-your-pvp-event-ideas-here/) section, and let the PvPEMs know about your great idea so they can provide feedback and potentially run it if possible.

  • You may know everything that I'm going to do, but that's not going to help you because I know everything you're going to do! Strange, isn't it? In June 2nd's upgraded tournament Inception 2 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/tournament-archive/weekly-tournament-june-2nd-inception-2-upgraded/), players were pitted against each other using decks that contained 6 Mindgates. Congratz to Wyand for outplaying everyone in the tournament!

  • This is a fine addition to the community collection of tournaments. Similarly to the PvP Event There Can Only Be One, players who participate in June 8th's The Collector (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-june-8th-element-collector-unupgraded/) were given two elements, one of their choice and a random one. Then they would duel for their opponent's elements in this unupgraded tournament. Congratz to moehrpi for coming out on top!

  • Technically, both Frankenstein and his monster were the monsters. In June 16th's FrankenShard (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-june-16th-frankenshard-semi-upgraded/), players were tasked with building the perfect Shard Golem which would be used to defeat the opposition in this semi-upgraded tournament. Congratz to shockcannon, whose Golem granted him his 4th tournament win!

  • [Three Joke Here] In June 23rd's Good Things Come In Threes (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-june-23rd-good-things-come-in-threes-unupgraded/), players could only use decks which had 3 elements, 3 copies of all non-PPM cards which had costs divisible by 3, and deck sizes that were multiples of 3. Congratz to Dr. Pizzazz on his 2nd tournament win! (Unfortunate, but at least his post count at this time is a multiple of 3...)

  • When you enter this tournament you have to ask yourself, "Do I feel lucky?" In June 29th's The Lucky King of Randomness (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-june-29th-the-lucky-king-of-randomness-upgraded/), players were only allowed to use cards with random properties and creatures with 3 or less starting attacks. Congratz to Zso_Zso, who was blessed by RNGesus and given a tournament win.

  • Leagues 2/2019 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-league/elements-pvp-league-22019/) is about a month in. Low activity this season means you can rise to the top in just a few games! Currently, PlayerOa holds the first place position. immortal feud is right on his tail in 2nd place and Naii_the_Baf is in 3rd place bronze. Check out Weekly Features Rules  (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-league/weekly-featured-rules-63397/) to put a fun and challenging spin on your games or submit your own ideas in the WFR Community Ideas (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-league/weekly-featured-rules-community-ideas/) section.

  • Unfortunately, the False Gods asserted their dominance and won Elements Mafia 71. In Mafia 72, hosted by Ginyu, we leave the world of Elements and enter a world where a small village named Sonus is haunted by paranormal happenings and the Townsfolk are ordered to stay silent so that the source of some strange sounds can be found and banished from the village. What will happen to Sonus during this new game of Mafia?

  • In other news, a game similar to Mafia came out known as Puzzle Plight (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-games/puzzle-plight-by-shockcannon/) was opened on one of the last days of May. In it, there are two groups. One group is the "Noobs" while the other one is the "Shocks" (By now it's kind of obvious that shockcannon came up with the game.) Half of the Noobs are given one half of a compound word while the other half is given the other half. Each round, every Noob sends in a word related to their part of the word while the Shocks send in their own word in an attempt to blend in. The Noobs' goal is to have all the Shocks devoured by the Mighty Otyugh while the Shocks are tasked with figuring out the compound word. However, the Shocks have one Last Stand, which allows one Shock to guess the word even if they're about to be devoured. This Last Stand was the one thing that helped the Shocks turn the tables around and win the game.

All Over The Place!

  • MasterWalks wrote out a conspiracy theory (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/off-topic-discussions/conspiracy-theories/msg1290976/#msg1290976) regarding the Elements community that talks about a secret circle that controls the community. Whether or not you want to believe it is your own choice, but feel free to check it out.

  • After a long hiatus, MyNameIsJoey started a Dungeons and Dragons group (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pcvideo-games/attempt-at-a-rebirth-dd-etg-group/) to make a new campaign. He will be acting as the DM for two separate groups, one which is geared towards American players and another geared for European players. While you are encouraged to sign up as soon as you can, your character can be implemented into the story at any point of the campaign.

  • Do you have any other idea for what can be featured in here? Feel free to PM us about what you think deserves a special spotlight in the community Newsletter!

An Article from the Community for the Community

  • Due to the failure of some interactive articles, we will create a competition article. Come up with an idea for a new article and post it here in the News Letter thread! Whichever member submits the best idea will have their idea used as an article and will be rewarded with electrum! There are no criteria, but you will have a better chance of winning if your article idea has some longevity to it. You may submit as many ideas as you wish but obvious spam will be deleted.

The Joke Center

  • A Fire Elemental spills his quanta on the ground. He picks up as much as possible but not before a couple quanta rolls under the cabinet. A Phoenix erupts from under the cabinet. The Phoenix flies out of the house. The Fire Elemental is sitting worried about the Phoenix. He tries frantically to cast a Cremation in hope of taking the Phoenix down before it can cause much damage. Soon, there is a knock on the door. Its a police officer with the Phoenix in wingcuffs. "We found your phoenix down at the bar hitting on a hot piece of Ash and tried to order a beer. The bartender called me since they dont serve minors"
