The World Championship of Elements has been confirmed not to start until January instead of in October has been done in previous years. Go now and play a few tourneys and some League games so give yourself a better chance at qualifying for the World Championships this year. Designing Cards in not a card design competition but an art competition named Definitely a Card Design Competition brought many new designs for the cards in elements. Wyand pulled out a win with some beautiful aesthetics he made. Doom has covered the world with these terribly devastating cards designs in the Doomsday Device Card Design Comp. Congratz to ARTHANASIOS on designing a terrifyingly awesome card that stole the competition. Has the previous competition got you down and depressed with all the doom? Never fear as there are heroes around the corner wanting to aid the world with their amazing talents, in the Haphazard Heroics writing competition. Go write a stupendous saving story while there is still time for submissions. Stay in touch with the competition section by signing up for the Competition Mailing List! It will guarantee you getting notified whenever there's a new competition going, so you can begin right away! Two ways to split three types of quanta is what August 5th's Tripendency was all about. Congratz to deuce22 on claiming first place. 49 cards are all you will need when it comes to the 7x7 Speedbuilding tournament on August 11th. Congratz to ji412jo for winning the first place prize. Spirals, number sequences and this weeks tourney all have something in common. August 19th's Math Warrior was a tourney where all cards must cost quanta with a Fibonacci number. Congratz to serprex on sequencing a perfect prime of decks. When the TO's struggle with bans balancing they turn to the community for assistance. In the August 25th Community Choice tourney the community voted on which cards to ban. Congratz to Vindilos on selecting the correct decks to provide a first place victory. Leagues 2/2018 have kicked off to a strong start so far. With only about a month having passed 25 players have already joined with 12 of them already qualifying for potential prizes. Vindilos, CactusKing, and rob77dp lead the top of the charts, go now and play some games to see if you can beat them to the top. Are you starting to get bored of the regular unrestricted meta? Take your chance at the Weekly Featured Rules, and play some exciting new decks with a little more thought and strategiccreative building. ji412jo has sparked a little bit of life into the Forums Games section this month with another rendition of FG Says, a game where False Gods bring you puzzles and riddles to solve. The game just ended, with CleanOnion being the sole survivor of the fourth round! All Over The Place! ARTHANASIOS has brought us a prediction about Team Light in War 12. Do you agree with his thoughts, or will you go against his ideas? Stargazing can bring some beautiful sights if you can see the skies clearly and from a nice location. Take a look in the Stargazing / Astronomy thread for some nice pictures from our own members, as well as some fun discussions about stars and constellations.

Tea Time with Higurashi Below is a portion of the interview: Favorite music genre? Well, it used to be psytrance but now I mostly listen to retrowave, and mostly hardcore at that. Vulta, GosT, some VolkorX, Toxic Avenger, Danger, a bit of Dance with the Dead, etc. If you could change one thing about the game, big or small, what would it be? I'd remake the game in Unity and find an active developer who zanz would be willing to hand it to. This would kick things off with the release of 1.4 and traffic would skyrocket. What's the story behind your username? Higurashi is a type of cicada in Japan whose name means...

A neat newsletter! Thank you both Doc and mathman for doing this.

edit: I think the interview link points to the Lunaris interview. Also for the readers, one news is that Zyardran posted a farewell topic that month. (I think it was that month.)
