AvesThe People's Republic Of The Empire's Central Thirteen Original Realms (formerly the Thirteenth Empire) is celebrating. President Jappert's provisional government (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/falling-empire/falling-empire-epilogue-and-coronation/) is stepping aside, and enemies of the Republic are eager to take advantage of this unprecedented folly-- the voluntary transfer of power. As Election Day looms, many factions are eager to take part-- and perhaps, something more sinister. The Twelve have resurfaced, eager for the opportunity to reclaim their mantle. Meanwhile, the Barbarian menace is never far from the minds of the people; rumors of new raiding parties abound, and the Kawalla Independence Movement would like nothing more than to affirm them. The Crime Lords too are ready to take advantage of the impending elections. The Rebellion High Guard is mobilizing to face these threats and ensure a fair and impartial election, but their numbers and resources have not yet recovered from the war. Many yearn for the old days of stability, and the Royalists are recruiting for the Emperor's cause. In a time like this, anybody could end up in power. Will you be the one?The Rebellion had won the war. For thirteen years, President Jappert of the Rebellion diligently reformed the Empire, sweeping away the corruption within and fighting enemies without. No more crime! The Crime Lord ddevans96 was executed for his sins, and all would learn the power of the law. No more dukes! Rank was to be given according to merit, not bloodline. No more corrupt clerics! The Sacred Order was cleansed, their teachings restored to the Rebellion's standard of service and purity. No more barbarians! The Kawalla People were conquered and integrated into society. It was with these achievements that Jappert declared the establishment of a People's Republic.
The transition from a provisional government into a more formal one was a certainty. The use of elections was expected, though unprecedented. The universal suffrage... caused a lot of chaos.

3. MATCHESThis event will have a random seeding that will determine the opponents of a given round. If there is an uneven number of players left in the event, a random player will skip its match.
4. DUELSPlayers have 7 days 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.
Battles are best-of-five. The first player who wins 3 individual matches, wins the battle. Deckbuilding rules are as above, with the additional rule: Max 4 ultra-rares per deck.
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 DUELSWinner should post a new topic in the "Battle Results" section, along with short description of how the match went.
Both the winner and the loser are required to post pictures of both their decks.
6. WINNERThere will be TBD rounds until Election Day. On that day, the votes are tallied. The faction with the most votes wins, unless the Barbarians denied more than the plurality. If there is a tie for the winner, a sudden best of 5 deathmatch with deckbuilding rules from the event will be immediately played. If there is more than one, then round robin format will be used, with the winner being the one with the most matches>games won.
7. REWARDSThe winner of the event will receive the following forum award icon:
