Choose the next PvP Event!

[Laxadarap]

It is finally time to run a brand new event submitted by the community.  However, since a lot of these are good ideas, I'm not going to choose one.  You guys are!  The poll above includes pvp events I think will be pretty fun.  It is up to you guys to decide which one is chosen.  If there is a tie in the voting, I will choose one.  If nobody votes, I will choose one.  Rules are subject to slight change, but the core idea of the event will be the same.

List of events:

• Affinity
• Crank NOTE: You will be able to earn adrenaline for accomplishing "achievements" (restricted deckbuilding)
• Rock Paper Scissors NOTE: Idea of this is counterdecks, the cards available may change.
• Juggernaut
• Power of 3 NOTE: May change the amount of cards, vote/comment for an event based on winning to unlock new cards, loss to lose cards (very limited deckbuilding).
• King of the Hill
• Whatever this is called
  
  

Keep in mind that I didn't search through all of the option, just went back and looked at some of the recent ones.  If there is an older event you would like to see (remember, this is an event that has not been done before, and is from the "submit your pvp event idea" section, please choose other and leave a comment.

I would like to see BtH up for voting. Could also be the tournament-style rules from #2.5 if you fear that it's "not really PvP" otherwise.

Also, thanks for doing this. Democracy is so much more fun. Most of the time.

A few things to keep in mind.

1.) An event with scheduled matches should eliminate players. If someone has three or four losses with only one or two wins, they're probably not going to be very motivated to play the rest of the event, knowing there's really no chance for them to win. Inactivity is bad for two major reasons; the first is that it complicates the event by forcing the organizers to make a decision on a match that was not even played. The second is that it gives an unfair advantage to whoever receives a free win against an inactive player.

2.) Individual skill is what should be rewarded. It's unfair for a losing player to receive credit for his team's win, and it's unfair for a winning player to be denied victory because his team lost. It makes the event less fun if one's success is determined mostly by whoever that player is paired with; people would much rather be responsible for their own successes and defeats.

3.) The rules should have some sort of means of preventing all of the players from spamming the same, overpowered decks. There's a reason tournaments don't allow you to post your decks in the main thread until the event is over - it allows everybody to copy those exact same decks.

4.) People don't want to play more than a couple duels per week. Our lives are not devoted to Elements, much less one individual event. If an event has players dueling once a day on average, there are going to be inactivity problems.


For these reasons, my vote goes to Power of 3.

I voted for King of the Hill. My reasons being:
- Interesting structure
- Most likely affordable amount of upgrades for a newbie
- Element selection is always nice, but might want to limit that in some way
- Locked cards can potentially make for interesting decks and strategies.
- You are given choices to make: what elements to choose, who to fight and at what point to stop or restart
- Random suggestion: you might want to limit element selection in some way (so we won't see the same, most powerful elements by everyone)

There are two things I would like to see:

1, A team event
There is no war or brawl going on at the moment. This seems to me the perfect time to start a team event. Something like Falling Empire was or Three man pvp. You need relatively small teams so that people can work together properly. Though Booster Draft is/was a team event as far as I understand. Never followed it.

2, Well-developed themes or stories for events
There are some events that look like they are just a bunch of rules thrown together. While all events eventually come down to this, there needs to be something that actually catches people's attention and draws them in. I know it does not matter for most of the PvP veterans around here but it might do for others, especially newer people.
Apart from possible higher participation and more hype, stories can also serve as a source motivation, especially if maintained properly. If there is something to fight for (aside from winning the event) people might enjoy the struggle more and thus be willing to spend more effort on the event and have more fun. Once again I must bring up Falling Empire as an example. I think it was really done well in this regard.

Keep in mind this is going to be an event that hasn't been run before XD.  Also, not sure when war is starting, so iffy on doing a team event (generally takes more work than a solo event).

[majofa]

AH for War should have started already...

[Laxadarap]

So been a bit distracted with war and college starting up.  Anyhow, the next event will be "King of the Hill".  Only thing is that with war starting right now, do we want to run an event, or should I wait until teams start getting knocked out?  Putting up one more poll for 3 days.  If the poll reflects that I should start the event (and I will do it if 25% of people want the event to start, not just a simple majority).  Signups and rule clarifications will be up on the third day, probably an hour or two after the poll ends.

[Rutarete]

This option isn't exactly on the poll, so I'll say it here: A few rounds before war ends. This is when several (if not most) of the teams will have been eliminated, rather than the option A couple of rounds into war.

[Laxadarap]

Adding now, kind of meant that with the first one, but I can see where a discrepancy arises.

[Odii Odsen]

damn, I can not remove my vote.

[rob77dp]

Your inserting of a voting option at the top area of the choices change my vote.  It kept it as the Xth option despite the inserting meaning it should be the (X+1)th vote option I chose.

How do I remove my vote to correct this?

[Laxadarap]

Sorry about that, fixed and reset poll.
