Massive Peace
Combo Design a massive non-PVP event based around your team name.
"Dominating with Death" or "Dominated by Death"
- KILL (or cause the death of) the most creatures in an Elements duel
- Teams of two randomly assigned from pool of sign-ups.
* I like events done like this as it promotes relationships to develop
among the community!
- Each round has the organizers post card combo's, element groups, or
skeleton deck builds (i.e. skeleton card-count less than minimum deck
size)
along with any special round rules. *Note: Must be available in trainer.
Also, should specifiy upgraded/non-upgraded etc.*
- Cometitors build a deck from the above and use it in the trainer recording
the match as proof.
- Each Round concludes at a specified time at which entrant's submissions
are reviewed and the lowest X OR highest Y (or a combination as set out
before Round by CO) are eliminated OR advanced.

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/round-2-submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1132090/#msg1132090Artist & Offtopicker Team Task: (Vevo & timetock Everyone who is active
)
Forum Gameshow!
Turn a Forum game into a Gameshow using video!
Special Rules: Only use original art. Use of work from other members of the Elements Community (even with permission) is strictly forbidden. The video need not be longer than a few minutes and no longer than ten.
So, where should we start this? Neither our Artist or our OT are active...
First, we must determine who on our team knows how to create a video (which I think is different than "recording a video of your screen")...? This person is not me... although perhaps one of use would be willing to LEARN how to do this?

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/round-2-submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1132092/#msg1132092Card Designer Task: (Ruta)
Anti Card Designing
[Fun] Create a card that is logically (Name/Flavor) in an element but mechanically out of element.
Special Rules:
NO card art allowed. You can say and explain anything about the card in <100 words.
Standardized submission in the end of the OP.
Do note "not card art allowed" again. :-P A good place to start may be the couple of CIA threads about "new mechanics" and such and pick out some that had discussion about "it goes in X elements!" - "No, it must be Y element" - etc. ?

http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/round-2-submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1132094/#msg1132094Deckbuilder Task: (Odii)
Team Theme Building Machine
Build a deck using cards in-game and of at least crucible level that matches your team name's theme.
Special Rules: Card must be of at least Crucible level on the forums. Cards submitted to be added to the Crucible the week of this round cannot be used.
You got this! (If you have any abilities for perusing the CI&A sections)

ROUND 1
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/forum-brawl/brawl-3-round-1/Boss & Writer Task: (rob & d2d)
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1131781/#msg1131781Combo Task!
Travels of a Boss
Write the team's Lore by making a comic (using MS paint or other free software/traditional media) describing the boss traveling the elements world to pick your team.
Special Rules: Please limit to under 250 words (we will be using The Word Count Tool for validation). Submissions breaking these rules will be disqualified.
D2D - my progress on getting our character-creatures readied (I have each of these separately too so we can assemble basic comic panes to place text below them)
https://app.box.com/s/e8psa6mjt3rbxhjkr3bn <-- this has all of them
so rob, how do you think we should start this?
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/propaganda-archive/death-31922/ some sort of 'sequel' to this? with me whistling while walking through a desolate valley... when I come upon "Arse" discarded by the long ago-departed MrBlonde (a Death and elements old legend, of sorts) and pick him up. brief convo starts stating my new 'lordship' (Master) of Arse who then vows to serve. <insert brief panels of comic adventure rounding up each team member (1 comic-panel each?)> each team member should be represented by something from (or the image of) their creature being used in Odii's deckbuilder task.
??
the fact that its a sequel to something that a lot of people liked will probably give it more votes A very good thing! :-)
I am picturing very simple MS Paint 'panes' of basic static-unchanging images of our characters, with the "lines" typed out below each pane...
rob: *whistles and stumbles patroling barren
wasteland*
rob: "What's this!?!" *pull on shiny metal scrap poking up from ground*
*Arsenic is un-earthed and rob lifts high above his head*
rob: "Arse, ol' friend of Death! Am I glad to find you!"
Arse: "
--etc etc--
Speech so far (i had to try to minimise it to fit in text boxes, i will most likely include sub-boxes up the top once i get a wordcount)
rob: another day of patrols... *sighs*
rob: oh? whats this? *pulls on a handle stuck in a rock*
rob: Arse, ol' friend of Death! Am I glad to see you!
Arse: Rob! Thanks for helping me out there, anything i can help with?
rob: Actually, i was looking to make a team for the upcoming forum brawl.
Arse: A team? Sure!
Arse: I could've sworn it was... Ah, here we go.
Arse: Without further ado, let me present your new team.

Artist Task: (Vevo)
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1131782/#msg1131782Team Avatar - anyone on the team with art ability (PC or on-paper) that could start working on this would be awesome! - I'm thinking some sort of grim reaper (representing Death in the team name) with some stylized text towards the bottom including "Dost Dominate" in an olde english font face? or something... sorry, i do not. my best ability is in the chat gallery.
How about this, in a pinch here?
http://i.imgur.com/rQ6kj3d.pngMake the team's Avatar! The avatar should clearely represent at least the team's name. (Any visual art style or medium)
Special Rules: Only use original or royalty-free art. Provide credit where necessary. Use of work from other members of the Elements Community (even with permission) is strictly forbidden.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Card Designer Task: (Ruta)
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1131783/#msg1131783Signature Card
Create a signature card to represent your team!
The card must represent the team's name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lady_(ghost)
Name: White Lady | Mulher de Branco
Element: Death
Cost: 6
Creature
Stats: 3/6 | 4/6
Text: 2 death: Target a creature. Deal two damage to every target that is adjacent to itself.
Notes: Theme is Dominating the Herd. The theme is implemented like this: If they're scattered across the field, you can't reach them all. So when they're together, something happens. The herd is one creature at a time.
White Lady | Mulher de Branco
Death
6
Creature
2/5 2/6
Curse: Target a creature. Deal two damage to each group of two or more of that creature.
Defining "group" as "cards touching each other vertically/horizontally/diagonally with pixel-overlap". The card's theme is "Dominating the Herd" - if opposing creatures are scattered few effects result but with opposing creatures packed together the effects are maximized. A neat counter to Fractal and Mitosis over-runs!
Special Rules:
NO card art allowed. You can say and explain anything about the card in <100 words.
Standardized submittion on the bottom

Deckbuilder: (Odii)
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1131784/#msg1131784Team in a Deck
Build a deck with one and only one creature per team member representing each team member. Explain, shortly, why each team member is the selected creature. The deck should be viable versus AI4.
Special Rules: Decks must be playable in-game. Voters will be highly encouraged to take originality and potential winnability into consideration.
Odii's idea in private section:
http://dek.im/d/52oz56qq6u271az271b71e74a7ao7do7gl7jv7n17q27qd7t7z17ta7tfz47um8pk- I actually think this looks really good, and it comes with a handful of AI4-defeating screenshots. BoneWall, so good :-)
- looks great
thanks for the life creature ^^

An Awesome Team
Write a short summary as to why your team, and everyone on it, is awesome.
I can write 'something' without a problem, but it would be helpful if everyone would write out their own accomplishments or other awesome characteristics, since I don't know everyone that well.
I tell everyday in chat how awesome I am. I am simply OP
My name in this team underlines the word "dominate" in our team name. I'm a PvP headhunter. Yeah, something like that will do nicely, thanks
I'm not much for bragging on myself, but how about this: Master. of. Death. That is all. (It is my only forum icon too)
I'm a CO.
Other acomplishments include: Deckbuilding for openETG, making various other decks, coming 2nd in a tourney. That enough?
Ruta's CIA posting, experience, and knack speaks for itself, I'd say
There's that, and also BHFC (which got me my little Ruby icon)
Vevo and timetock --> perhaps some things about mysterious unknowns or such? I really have not much on them...
Vevo i have nothing on. Timetock loves doge (if it isnt that obvious). He's a good bloke, unreliable at times due to inactivity. He has an arena thread so you could talk about that. Then theres his application thread. I say rant about something from that.

Off-Topicker: (timetock)
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/team-death-dost-dominate/submissions-thread-and-discussions/msg1131786/#msg1131786Religion
Design a religion based off your team name.
Deities
YOUR ancestors
Creed
Mors fata - Death is the destiny of all.
Commandments
1. Aequalitas in vita in morte - Treat everyone equal in life for all will be equal in death.
2. Reverete mortui - Respect the dead.
3. Carpe diem - first you must live today.
4. Memento mori - it is your destiny to die.
5. Morituri te Salutant - to die is to honor the living.
6. Multi mortui sunt, fortitudinem Multitudine - Numerous are the dead and there is strength in numbers.
Notes
Commandment 1 instructs followers to treat others as you desire to be treated (which is inclusive of many ancient commandments).
Commandment 2 follows from the fact that ones ancestors become minor dieties, of course you should respect those.
Commandment 3 instructs followers to enjoy today by living it to the full leading in to #4.
Commandment 4 instructs followers to be mindful that death will come one day to all.
Commandment 5 instructs followers to remember life and death are of symbiotic relation, without life there cannot be death and without death there will be excess of life.
Commandment 6 instructs followers that in death they are to join an unstoppable force and battle in support of Death.
Hymn

VERY EXCESSIVE FUNERAL RITES

Draft
Major Deity
*Morte* ??? or Thanatos? (Greek god of death)
Minor Deities
YOUR ancestors
Creed
Mors fata (brief, short AND ominous
- Death is the destiny of all.
Commandments
1. Aequalitas in vita in morte - Treat everyone equal in life for all will be equal in death. (I'm starting to like this one more and more, it covers all the 'basic' commandments like, do not steal/envy/rape/etc. At least, once you realize that you are part of everyone
Fo Sho Yo
2. In honorem defuncti - Respect the dead (follows from minor dieties
not completely happy with this latin phrase. how about "consideres mortuos"?? ... Reverentur mortui ?
3. Carpe diem - first you must live. Valar Dohearis - the common response to valar morghulis, usually translated as 'all men must serve', and as response, usually taken to mean 'but first they must live'.
4. Memento mori - it is your destiny.
5. Morituri te Salutant - to die is to honor the living. Approved
6. I think we do need 'something' else - agreed... <--? in multitudine virtutis, in plures mortis ? to tie up loose ends relating to team name "Death Dost Dominate"? or "multi mortui sunt, in multitudine fortitudinis"? Ah, even better.
Ok, just to point this out, Valar Morghulis and Valar Dohaeris aren't Latin, and we are missing Latin versions of commandments 1 and 2. Aside from that, I kind of like this Latin theme we got going
I concur
But will you be judged in death somehow? (Memento Mori was what I was looking for, not Morituri te Salutant, though it kinda fits as well,for a 3rd option
or we could re-word all three (carpe diem, morituri te salutant, and memento mori) here?
I like that, a list of commandments looks better when there is more than 3
Though that does me 3 needs rewording, since it currently is a bit of an umbrella option for both carpe diem and memento mori.

Brainstorming
In the case of absent-OT'er (timetock last active Mar-4th on forums!), what can we have at-the-ready for this?
Something along the lines of the 'religion' of the Faceless from Braavos from A Song of Ice and Fire (aka, Game of Thrones), maybe.
A religion? We believe that we will die one day?^^
Well, then for the 3 people in the world who haven't read/watched it (apparently Odii is one of them):
GoT SPOILERS:
http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Faceless_Men I also have seen nothing of Game of Thrones (know of it, but not about it)
Because really, our teamname sounds a lot like "Valar Morghulis", which is assosiatid with the Faceless Men (and usually translated as "All men must die". And killing as a religion is way cooler than dying in the name of religion
We drink the blood of the dead and decaying, and feast on the flesh of animals.
Btw I watched GoT but didn't see the new season so far. It's nout out in Germany^^
I had an idea about worshipping in which Death conquered its foes (would be a multi-part story)
- The forms of each of our profile pics (listed at the top of te board) would be the key elements in the Tales of Death (some holy book-type/thing (the scorpions could all be in one tale, for example)
So, building off that idea:
- I don't have a name yet, but that can be thought of later
- Reason for religion: People noticed somehow that death conquered things beyond their comprehension, in 7 different forms:
- The three scorpions were all in one tale, the rest each had their own
- What/who do followers worship? Death
- There are 5 major holidays
- One day for the three scorpions, and one for each of the rest
- Since the followers laud Death, any religious 'bible'-type book should be called the Book of Holy Death
Ok, considering it's supposed to be a religion, and religious stories are very good at being needlessly complicated, and high on moral lessons, lets see: *Boss note: Team Name is the basis for this religion idea, not necessarily the Team members 'characters'...*
3 Scorpions: poisonous as protection
Physalia: poisonous as weapon
Bloodsucker: Feeding of the living
Fate Egg: Reincarnation
Gargoyle: ??? (Ageing?)
