Card Design Competition: The MASH-UP

[Kuroaitou]

Card Design Competition:

The MASH-UP A mix of crazy card design challenges all in one!

Objective:
Create a card that fulfills the following requirements from several card competition suggestions in the past (a 'Mash-up' of comp. ideas), and if you win, your card gets a free ride into the Forge!

This is not a parody/humor competition - please submit entries as if you would to the actual Crucible leveling system.

*Ideas of Requirements are from girlsgeneration (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11474.msg170696#msg170696), Essence (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5151.msg57361#msg57361), and Dragoon1140.



*Requirements (you MUST fulfill two of the following requirements for your idea to be allowed into the votes):

• One of your cards MUST start with one of the letters: K, X, Y, or Z
• If your card is a Creature, it must be one of these elements: , , , ,
• If your card is a Permanent, it must be one of these elements ( , , , )
• If your card is a Spell, it must be one of these elements ( , , )

IMPORTANT: Your card CANNOT be of the 'Other' element or elements that weren't listed above. You may not use any ideas previously mentioned/created in the past either.



Rules:

• Please read THIS THREAD HERE (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,5039.0.html) to figure out the formatting of your card tables. Contact a Card Curator if you have any questions regarding the formatting itself.
• POST your card idea in the Card Idea Competition Submissions (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,232.0.html) board. Once you've done that, provide a link of your card idea in this sticky topic found here (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16211.0.html)
• One submission per entrant is allowed only. Entrants who attempt to enter more than one idea will be automatically disqualified.

Awards - The Winner of this competition receives:

• A fabulous reward icon - Mashed Potatoes! ()
• An automatic level-up into the Forge for their submitted card idea (skipping the Crucible/submission process altogether!)
• Internet recognition and hugs**

** = not a guarantee


The designing process will last 14 days. Good luck!

Time's up!

Awesome... i'll have* my blender ready :b

[kobisjeruk]

hopefully nobodys gonna fish for votes from the kongregate community this time around 

[Hyroen]

Those sneaky vote konglomerators.

[Kael Hate]

Looks like we have to commit to the first and one of the others.

But I don't see any Darkness.

[Ekki]

I wonder, if the card MUST be a mash-up (as I see it), we should write a mash-up of what is our card (I'm sure I wrote that part wrong, but I hope you can understand it )

Can I provide an image for someone to use?

Huh I contributed to the rules?

Oh the KXYZ thing.

Yes. I think I mentioned that there is no card with the name starting with K,X,Y, or Z.

This looks like it will be a fantastic competition. 

Best of luck to everybody, and enjoy the holiday season.

But I don't see any Darkness.

As unfortunate as it sounds, Darkness has a total of 16 cards (including the nymph and weapon rares), making it higher than the other element totals (14 for Aether, 15 for the rest of the elements listed above). Water and Death have a shockingly high amount (17 total!) compared to the others.

I wonder, if the card MUST be a mash-up (as I see it), we should write a mash-up of what is our card (I'm sure I wrote that part wrong, but I hope you can understand it )

Um... sure? ^^; I'm not really understanding your question, but feel free to write details of -why- your card is a 'MASH-UP' of the competition requirements if you want.

Can I provide an image for someone to use?

Yes, under the condition that they of course credit you and assuming that the card idea is THEIRS (the one card submission per person will be regulated closely).

Huh I contributed to the rules?

Oh the KXYZ thing.

Yes. I think I mentioned that there is no card with the name starting with K,X,Y, or Z.

Clicking on your name (or Essence's for that matter) will bring up the post/competition ideas you've presented for the MASH-UP. ^^;;;; Sorry if this was a little bit shocking to you as a whole.


Anyway, thanks again - and remember that because of the holiday season, the competition will last a -week- longer in terms of the design process, so you have plenty of time to whip up something crazy that starts with K, X, Y, & Z while fulfilling a element that's has fewer cards than its peers.

Water and Death have a shockingly high amount (17 total!) compared to the others.

Well yeah, but if you start counting actually usable cards, those that we have competition for will get higher, and those that are not on the list will get lower. Point being, who cares if fire doesnt have as many creatures, when those creatures it does have are epic.

But anyway... rules of competition are already set, so good luck to all participants.

Yeah well, I already made something xD
But it will be hopefully commented by some folks and accordingly improved by me.
Everyone is welcome to put in his/her twopenn'orth

Also I was wondering, one of the idea requirements are taken from this:

Design a card that is designed to fill out one of the Elements that has fewer cards than it's peers.  The card should have definite synergies with at least one card in it's Element, and at least one card in an Element that it's home Element isn't currently commonly used with.  (For example, if you design a card for Darkness, it has to plainly synergize with one other Darkness card and also one other element that Darkness is not often used with, like Air or Water.)  This thread will be helpful in finding unused synergies.

But in the first topic there is only a part of it taken.
The idea stated there also says that the card should have synergies with another element which doesn't currently have many synergies with the cards element.
So, is the idea now to simply create new cards for an element with fewer cards than the others or should we also add some synnergie with other elements?

It would be important to know if we are allowed to create a mono element card or one that works especially well with other elements.
