Subject: [ROUND 2] Boss Task, Forum Expert Task - Combo (Death Dost Dominate)

Massive Peace Combo Design a massive non-PVP event based around your team name.

Dominated by Death Original idea by: rob77dp & the dictator   |   Developed by: Brawl #3's Death Dost Dominate Art by: DuBoix (Source-File License)   |   Organized by: N/A Players battle AI with player-created/finished decks to show their in-game creature-killing skill. 1. HOW TO SIGN UP? Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.  You may sign up as a team of two or solo-entrant (to be assigned a team later). There is no participant maximum for this event. Late sign-ups are not accepted for this event. 2. GAME PLAY Each round will begin with CO(s) posting deck-requirements for that round.  The requirements will vary every round and be similar but not limited to card combinations, Element groups, skeleton deck-builds, upgraded/un-upgraded, banned card lists, etc. (or combinations of these and other options).  Each team submits one recorded/screenshots-taken duel every round. Also, the opposing deck for use against the players will be as determined and posted by the CO(s).  This may include AI3 or FG type settings of the trainer-AI. *Note* This competition takes place using the Elements Trainer (Link to trainer). 3. DUELS Duels are performed against the CO-specified AI deck in Trainer.  It is highly recommended that players record duels.  This limits the chances of claims of abuse or cheating and helps prevent the temptation to cheat.  As always, any player caught cheating in this event faces a permanent ban from the forum and related events.  Lacking the ability to record, screenshots - as many as needed for achievement proof - are minimally required and it is the discretion of the CO(s) for considering submitted images/videos as sufficient proof of achievement. 1. Go to Elements Trainer. 2. Load the desired deck for team use. 3. Load AI deck and settings per round requirements. 4. Record the duel or take screenshots through-out. 5. Prior to end of each round, submit the team's final submission (optional to include your own count of creatures killed). 4. AFTER DUELS Per Rule item 4.5, each team must submit their chosen duel-result via forum PM to CO(s).  Please copy all (if more than one) CO(s) on your submissions! 5. WINNER After the final round (prior to official start of event, CO(s) will determine and post how many rounds will be completed in this event), CO(s) will determine a winner based on total number of creature-deaths generated by the teams inclusive of all rounds. CO(s) will maintain standings between each round during the event for player-reference purposes only.  The final result is official and all intermediate standings are subject to error, correction, and unintentional inaccuracies. 6. REWARDS The winner of the event will receive a forum award icon:

Subject: [ROUND 2] Card Designer Task (Death Dost Dominate)

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.

The "exhume" ability is this: The reincarnate ability does the following: When the creature dies, it turns into a burrowed skeleton (with 0 attack), with the skill  Exhume: Replace the creature with the original version of the creature that died. The reincarnate passive does carry over between reincarnation. While this is a mechanic that makes way more sense as a card (and it mimics a card), we instead flavored it as a card with an ability cost. It is more cumbersome than quint, but opens up different possibilities (fire shield, armagio). Reincarnation on Wikipedia

Subject: [ROUND 2] Deckbuilder Task (Death Dost Dominate)

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.

Dominating by Death Spoiler for Card Image...: Biomass Recycler | Biomass Refiner x4 Spoiler for Card Image...: Necrosis | Necrosis x2 In-game card Schrӧdinger's Cat x5 In-game card Retrovirus x2 In-game card Deadly Poison x5 In-game Card Arsenic x2 In-game card Bone Wall x4 In-game card Soul Catcher x5 Description Quantum Pillar = Biomass Refiner Dagger = Necrosis Play Soul Catchers (1st turn if you suspect opponent will use Immo or any first-turn death effects; otherwise wait until first Cat is summoned to avoid PC on the Catchers).  Play Cat on 2nd turn (with quanta from Mark first turn).  After this, it is about balancing which card(s) to play in which order with the quanta generated from Cat ability. Generally, play order would focus on some early damage (Arsenic or a couple D Poisons).  The healing Refiners can be played after you have taken damage and interlaced with playing of time-delayed killing/deaths from Retro's (Cat will heal 6 per Refiner on table with ability activation). In the case where CC has eliminated or rendered the Cat's dead or un-usable, use caution in your Death quanta and plan to deploy Poison counters on opponent for a late-game Bone Wall to provide about 1 or 2 turns of delay to sneak in a kill despite disruption of main Cat-death-ability tactics. For countering healing decks/stalls, you need only draw one of the two Necrosis to allow Poison to pull down HP and Max HP simultaneously (healing cannot fill a HP bar that has no head-space available)!

Subject: [ROUND 2] Writer Task (Death Dost Dominate)

Fifty Shades of Elements Write an "erotic" [PG-13] story involving Elements (No nymphs or False Gods!) Maximum 500 words

********** SUBMISSION GOES HERE! **********

I would like a PG-13 guideline too. Just so I know boundaries.

PG-13 basically means anything that wouldn't be allowed on the forums won't be allowed. Basically, euphamisms and light touching/kissing would be fine, but no nudity or sexual actions. The point is more to be silly than actually erotic.

Something silly, romantic, erotic but with no explicit sexual acts and that that stuff.

Here is my current idea (we should use the typical or common Forum layout for events, I think):

Since I have not heard from Odii about any progress he has on this task, I have whipped up a possible last-minute-submission idea if Odii comes up empty.
