Boss Tasks:1 - Toads - Ours was awesome! Simple and elegant and can easily be seen as a toad, a newt or a frog.
2 - Chaos - This is also a fairly simple drawing. A simple happy face with the letter "C" behind it.
3 - Shadows - I like the batman theme they have going, from both the name and now the logo. But I think he should have chosen something other than the electrum coins for the outer edge as that pulls the attention away from the center image.
4 - Abyss - I think they are trying to do too much at once. The fangs and the blue(are they supposed to be flames?) feel off and not focused at all.
5 - Gaia - It looks ok, but they could have chosen a different image instead of chroma mark for the center circle. If they had then I probably would have ranked them higher.
6 - Mixtape - Very small and poorly made. I feel that everything is being crunched together in the center. The idea is nice and probably would have looked good had they expanded it, but unfortunately they did not.
Artist Tasks:1 - Toads - Ours was awesome! Simple and elegant and can easily be seen as a potential horned frog.
2 - Abyss - Very well made, another image that can easily be seen as a card: A nymph! Not a huge fan of the lettering on the bottom though.
3 - Chaos - Also nicely done, but it does not give off the same feeling as when looking at the nymph or the horned frog.
4 - Mixtape - It looks like a lot of work and effort went into this but it didn't turn out the way they had wanted it. The top half of the mark looks quite separated from the bottom half, mainly due to using the wrong alphanumeric key.
5 - Shadows - I was looking forward to seeing just the art remade, instead of the whole card redone. Nice effort put in, but the devourer and the liquid shadow both look very choppy and scratchy.
6 - Gaia - The dragon looks ok, but I think more effort could have been put in to resemble the sky dragon art that they were trying to copy.
Card Designer:1 - Toads - Ours was awesome! Simple and elegant and felt balanced and unable to be pushed into OPness with other current cards.
2 - Mixtape - Seemed fairly original, and can easily be seen as a scientific principle. Nice balance on idea, but wording could have been better for a clearer concept.
3 - Gaia - Very close third place behind Mixtape! Only reason I gave this third instead of second is because it was a social thought experiment instead of a scientific principle, but otherwise very well designed.
4 - Chaos - Interesting mechanic, and a neat addition to the current list of gravity cards. I can see some synergies, but also some OP combos.
5 - Abyss - Not a huge fan of the wave mechanic between turns. Maybe if it was a spell that switched the effect +3|-3 after the successive use of the same spell.
6 - Shadows - I don't like the conversion idea. I don't feel this fits gravity's mechanic at all. Maybe if the idea were on another element I might bump it up the list halfway, but as it is now I'm not a fan.
Deck Builder/Forum Expert:1 - Shadows - Very well made! Nice idea on letting the players better understand the game and the explanation of building their own decks. Only thing I saw missing was the chance for duo decks to help show combos between different elements.
2 - Toads - Ours was awesome! Simple and elegant and helped new players start with a slight understanding of deck meta types, and still learn how to better their poorly made decks.
3 - Abyss - Very similar to ours, and yet also very well done. I liked the thought and ideas behind the deck choices, but some of them I was not sure are new player friendly enough.
4 - Chaos - I like the thought behind scrapping the other cards in each of the 40 card decks. But I also feel there are other ways to help the new players explore the potential card possibilities and opportunities.
5 - Gaia - I'm not exactly sure what is going here, between the switching of the decks from the the AI0/AI1 match to the AI2 match. Which deck do they end up keeping? or do they just keep whatever cards are won during the matches vs those AI matches.
6 - Mixtape - I really dislike the movement straight to the 30 card decks. By giving 35 or 40 cards, you are still allowing wiggle room for the new players to play around with their decks and learn how to optimize the decks on their own.
Writer:1 - Chaos - Very nicely written. Fun rhyming pattern and easily seen as connected to the elements, both the game and the forum.
2 - Toads - Ours was awesome! Simple and elegant and can easily be seen to relate to the forums and the game.
3 - Mixtape - Pretty funny rhymes, and nice balance of making all 3 limericks relate to each other.
4 - Shadows - Something about the flow felt jagged and not complete between the individual limericks. Another nice balance between the forums and its events and the game itself.
5 - Gaia - Something about the flow felt jagged and not complete between the individual limericks. Nice idea of relating all three limericks along the idea of the chat room.
6 - Abyss - Something about the flow felt jagged and not complete between the individual limericks.
