[VOTING] The Age of Random Cards (Round 3/Final Round) https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=44758.msg1016559#msg1016559
« on: November 19, 2012, 07:16:47 pm »
Welcome to the voting phase for The Age of Random Cards (TARC)!
While twenty people signed up, I received submissions from only fourteen. I was quite happy with the submissions received though, some of which seem to me like genuinely viable card ideas. The top six (more in cases of ties) will continue to the next round.

Voting criteria:
  • Thematics. Some of these titles were more difficult to work with than others, so especially look for submissions that go beyond the obvious.
  • Balancing. It's not the main focus of this competition, but it's nice to see a balanced card, neither OP nor UP.

Voting for Round 1 is over!
Submissions are under spoiler!*

Spoiler for Hidden:
1: Fitzroy River turtle (1 vote)

Grades are specific ranges of attack, as so: 0-2 A, 3-5 B, 6-8 C, 9-11 D, 12-14 E, 15+ F.
Creatures performing once means each creature can only be shifted one grade level.

I am extremely amazed at the creativity of my fellow competitors, even though many received simply awful articles (Connecticut Coat of Arms, WHAT?). Nice job, guys! Unfortunately, I only voted for my own :)

Once again, I'd like to thank mesaprotector for hosting this (albeit strange) very interesting competition. All in favor, type "AYE!"

Whelp I was busy and I procrastinate, so I didn't do this on time.  Turns out it only took me like 10 minutes, so I could have done it earlier.  Might as well post here (can't get voted though, especially because it's no longer anonymous).  I would like to say I had one of the hardest cards (no bias whatsoever XD) (except for maybe Birni lalle)

I'm kinda dissapointed i just got 1 vote, wich was MINE!
I think i did a fairly good job as well as Fitzroy River turtle did, wich i found very good too, but if this are the choises of the community i can't whine.
Maybe next time.

EDIT:
"Voting criteria"..."Some of these titles were more difficult to work with than others"...
^Thats' how kids get influenced , or i'm mad.

Assuming that I understand the rules correctly, the following entries advance:

National Highway 30 (India) 7 (17.1%)
Hippeophyllum 5 (12.2%)
Implied consent 6 (14.6%)
OCVTS Performing Arts Academy 3 (7.3%)
Birni Lalle 4 (9.8%)
Ballygarvan, County Cork 4 (9.8%)

Just thought I'd save everyone some time ;)
