Screw you RNG! https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35104.msg442443#msg442443

Screw you RNG! - Rules
Original idea by: Kakerlake   |   Developed by: Kakerlake   |   Art by: ??#4   |   Organized by: ??#5


Given a set of randomly generated decks, your team will have to make the best out of it.


1. HOW TO SIGN UP?
Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.

For this Event, you must have a team in order to compete. Teams consist of three members. Once you have a team of three people, one of you must post in the sign-up thread listing your Team Name, Forum-, Ingame and Chatname for each member. Additionally, each Team and each Player may chose one RNG unscrewer Card (one Team Card, one Personal Card) which can be used upgraded in Deck building..
Players who do not have a team may sign-up in the Substitute thread where they will be randomly paired with teammates or listed as substitutes to replace players who can no longer compete.


2. DECKBUILDING
After the Sign-up phase, your team will be given a private area in the forum to discuss your deckbuilding and choices.

When the first Round starts, your Team will be given 5 randomly generated Decks (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,35100.msg472665#msg472665) (credit goes to Xenocidius) by the Organizer.
 - Your Team decides which Player has to use what Deck.
 - Each player may swap up to 12 cards from his deck to any of the not used Decks. (you may also just take 12 Cards without returning any other cards back, same for vice versa.)
 - If your Deck contains Nymphs or Rares, you may convert them into the according Pillar.
 - After swapping the cards, each player may add any ammount of his and his Teams RNG unscrewer Cards to his Deck. (can be upped, if it is the same card as in your Deck, you may upgrade it as well)
 - You may use any (non-card) Mark.
 - Your Team will keep the 2 not used Decks in the next Round and recieves 3 new ones (used decks disappear)

The finalized decks (all 5 of them) will have to be posted in a new Topic in your private Section before the Deadline. Failure to do so, will resault in your team having to use the randomly assigned Decks in position 1,2 and 3, according to your position in the Brackets.
Editing the post after the deadline, or posting it too late has the same effect and may cause you to lose by default if you used the wrong deck.


3. BRACKETS
This event is a double-elimination tournament and uses two kinds of brackets: winners brackets and losers brackets. Everyone starts out in the winners brackets. When you lose the first time, you will drop down to the losers bracket. When you lose the second time, you will be eliminated from the event. The final match will be between the winner of winners brackets, and the winner of losers brackets.

In short, if you lose two times, you are out. If you don't lose two times, you win.

The Organizer will create a new Topic in the Battle resault section, containing information on who you'll have to fight and what their unscrewer Cards are. Your Team wins, if 2 or more Players won.
In case of a Draw, the Organizer will ask RNG who won and the other one wins :3


4. DUELS
Players have until the posted deadline to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event Organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final.  It is strongly encouraged to copy the Event Organizer on any PMs you send.  Any player who fails to complete two matches over the course of the event will be considered to have quit and be removed and subject to supplemental discipline.

Team orders will be randomized before each round and you will face the player on the other team opposite from you in the matchup table.  Players will then fight a best-of-three match to determine the winner. 

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.


5. AFTER DUELS
When you complete a battle, both players will imediately post the battle results along with the decks they used in the matchup thread. A summary of what occurred is also encouraged. Any player who delays posting their decks after the match risks forfeiture or even removal from the event.


6. REWARDS
The winner of the event will receive the following forum award icon: [insert awesome award icon]

I like how you managed to add strategy to an event centred around something so random. It's an awesome idea, but I may be biased. :)

Also, 'RNG unscrewer Card' - genius.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Xeno is improving the Random Deck Generator, so when he's done, I guess all decks will be playable. Obviously, some will be stronger than others, but you'll always be able to edit those random decks enough to make a good deck out of it.

Edit:
Increased ammount of cards to swap to 12.

How many teams will be able to sign up?
How long will each round be?
Each Round will have 2 phases: Deckbuilding and Fighting, each Phase should last at least 2 days, +1 day for possible extensions.
Since an event shouldn't last longer than a month, this gives us ~6 Rounds. So with 16 Teams, this Event whould have to be full already.

Im not sure i understood the part about RNG unscrewer cards... could you explain me?
Of course: Basically, the unscrewer card can always be added to your random deck however you like. Upped or unupped, up to 6 times or just improve the cards that are already there.

Let's make an example:
Team Insectopia (Team unscrewer card: Antlion)
Kakerlake (Personal unscrewer card: Flesh Spider)
Bunny (Personal unscrewer card: Spark)
Discord-san (Personal unscrewer card: Discord)

We've recieved 5 random Decks and already swapped cards with the unused decks, so I get this one:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 52j 52j 52j 52j 52j 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 8pm
For me, I have these two unscrewer cards: Antlion (Team) and Flesh Spider (Personal).
So, first of all, I'd be able to upgrade those 5 Spiders to Recluses, since that is one of my two unscrewer cards and add another one to make it 6.
Next, I can add Antlions to the deck, but as (in this example) I've only got 2 upped Antlions in my account, I'll only add 2 upped Antlions and a random unupped one just for fun.
So when duelling, this would be the deck I actually use:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52h 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58o 58p 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 58r 713 713 713 713 713 713 779 779 8pm

Another Example: Bunny has this deck after swapping cards with the unused ones:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 8po
Obviously, those Immolations are currently pretty dead cards. But in its infinite wisdom, Bunny chose Spark as its Personal card, so it will add it 6 times to the deck (Bunny doesn't need upped cards) but doesn't add any Antlions.
This is the deck Bunny will fight with:
Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f0 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f2 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f4 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 5f9 61p 61p 61p 61p 61p 61p 8po

So the unscrewer card has the exact same system as the element in TPvP?
