  • Round 7 has finished! Time is still in the lead, with 340 cards still in their vault. Darkness has taken 2nd place, pushing Light all the way down to 6th. Taking their place is Aether! Will Time remain at the very top, or will a different team take the lead? Find out more on Dragon Ball Z War #12!


  • The first 2 Preliminaries have finished, which means that all of the participants will be split (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-world-championship/pvp-world-championship-2018-group-a/) into (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-world-championship/pvp-world-championship-2018-group-b/) 4 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-world-championship/pvp-world-championship-2018-group-c/) different (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-world-championship/pvp-world-championship-2018-group-d/) groups, each with their own set of available elements.

  • Kneel at the greatness of Lord Triple III. February 3rd's speedbuilding tournament, Lord Triple III (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-february-3rd-lord-triple-iii-2-(speedbuilding)-unupgrad/), had players quickly building decks using elements rolled by the Tournament Organizers. Congratulations to kaempfer13 on the triumph!

  • It was a feast for the dead at the Decaying Potluck 1 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-february-10th-decaying-potluck-1-upgraded/) tournament. Players had to get creative with restrictive rules decided by the dice in this upgraded tournament. Congratz to MasterWalks on the win.

  • February 17th's tournament, Rock-Flayer-Scissors (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-february-17th-rock-flayer-scissors-unupgraded/12/) had players building duo decks that featured a specific card. Congratz to Kalinuial on the undefeated win.

  • Hope you brought an antidote to February 23rd's Biovenom: Poison Hazard (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/pvp-tournaments/weekly-tournament-february-23rd-biovenom-poison-hazard-semi-upgraded/) tournament. This tournament required players to earn upgrades by using poisonous cards. Congratz to Vindilos who took the gold medal.

All Over The Place!

  • Round 7 has ended, and the results of a supposed prophecy have been revealed (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/religion/the-prophecy-of-team-light/msg1286420/#msg1286420). The prophet who wrote it was almost exiled (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/farewell/exiled/) as punishment for his false prophecy, but this was postponed due to a lot of protest and a loophole found in the prophecy.

  • Members Manuel, asdw152 and dragonsdemesne have been keeping a log of their Platinum Arena Decks (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/platinum-league-decks/). Check them out for some fresh ideas on some high level decks.

  • 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!

  • No staffing changes occurred during the month of February. Council has completed its 6th month term they started back in July, so we can be hopeful about a change in faces to help make positive changes for this community.

For this month's Creative Corner, we're introducing a pilot for a series of comic strips drawn by yours truly, Weeby. This particular one stars well known forum members, most of which are currently participating in War. Can you guess who's who?

*If you read PvP Events you know how well that turned out...
(https://i.imgur.com/M6xbQfg.jpg)
This was the first design I worked on. Based it off of MCU Thanos because of a little joke I thought of a while back. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/competitions/art-competition-redecorating/msg1281524/#msg1281524) I gave him an Infinity Gauntlet, which wasn't shown in the comic.
(https://i.imgur.com/LuT3IvR.jpg)
There wasn't a lot to go off of with his current PFP, so I had to make one myself. The first thing I thought of was Mega Man when I was making it. It makes sense, considering both have arm cannons. Also, a certain shield is incorporated into his design...
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/517845591980507136/548689300485832716/image0.jpg?width=320&height=427)
Similar case to shockcannon, where I didn't have too much to build off of with his PFP. Based off of the Jacques de Molay, since Crusaders and Light. Probably should have incorporated a bit of Life related things into his design. Might do so once I start color versions of all 12 War Gens+Masters, but don't expect that in a while.
(https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/517845591980507136/548689299193856002/image1.jpg?width=320&height=427)
Not really much to be said here, but the tuxedo and all that fits the best for him.

This was my first time drawing the full body of a female. It was MasterWalk's idea of making her a goth girl. (Yes, I'm aware this doesn't exactly fit her race. Then again, www3 isn't a globe person in real life...)

Good work NLW!

The NLWs have been working hard to change up the format of the Newsletter, but we'll need your help with a little something this time around!

At 7:30 PST tomorrow, we will be hosting a trial Skribbl.io game. We'll convene in the tourney room for this, but the Discord voice chat is also available for use. We also have a few electrum codes up for grabs for the winner of the game.

We'll allow some artistic freedom for this game, as this will mostly be for gathering feedback and information for a new "Other Games" section of the Newsletter.

Hope to see you there!

I like the idea. :)

At 7:30 PST tomorrow, we will be hosting a trial Skribbl.io game.
Did I convert the time correctly?

According to the converter I used it's 3:30 AM UTC...

that could be an issue
