How to shine like a Morning Star!!
An event for noobs who are supposed to be trained to be better forum members with the help of a mentor.Dear Newbies, don't be shy, finally it's an event for you! Let your creativity shine with the luminescent brilliance of Divine Light! If you're willing to join the ranks of respected community members like ddevans96 and OldTrees then you'll have to be active and put much work into the forums. Don't let that daunt you, you now have an opportunity to become friends with great people like them.
Dear Veterans, don't hide your Light, you won't be left out! Like a good guide, illuminate newbies with your profound knowledge about card mechanics, deckbuilding and, above all, help them become active members of our community.
RULES
Separate rules, one for our wonderful newbies and the other for our lovely veterans.For newbies: - To qualify as a newbie you must have under one hundred forum posts and have joined the forums no more than three months ago at the time of signing up. (And don't even think about trying to lie about your forum age, this is the internet, we don't do that here.)
- You will be responsible for most of the work when it comes to card and deck building. Your mentor is just suppose to help you, not do the work. You've got to come up with the idea and mechanic.Your mentor will simply help balance and iron it out.
- Be sure to be active! We can't run an event like this without your co-operation.
For veterans: - To qualify as a vet, you have to be at least a Senior Member and have joined the forums no less than 6 months ago at the time of signing up.
- DO NOT do the work for your newbie, only help with balancing and stuff they aren't really familiar with yet. And encourage them to go and learn. You're a teacher, so teach.
- Be sure to be active! (or we'll definitely have Higs permaban you.)
Sign-Ups
The process which allows people to actually do something in the event.A sign up thread will be posted sometime soon. Over there people may post to show their willingness in joining. Once sign-ups are closed, Newbies and Veterans will be teamed up. In case of a surplus of Vets, the vets with higher post count will be considered to have higher priority. In case of a surplus of Newbies, more vets will be brought in.
Tasks
The things that make events not just a bunch of people standing aroundTask 1: Card DesignMake a card, any card, any element, any type with any mechanic, so long as it is original and will be debated.
Task 2: DeckbuildingBuild a deck, any deck as long as it's unupped. Do try to be somewhat original. It has to be able to at least farm AI 3 with regular wins and it cannot have more than 3 rare cards, it has to be shardless and without nymphs.
Task 3: Forum ExpertiseMake 10 valuable posts in the forums. A maximum of 5 posts from a single section and 2 posts from a single topic will count towards this.
Voting
The thing that makes events winnable. Our wonderful newbies will have 10 days to finish each task. Once they've done so, they'll PM the details to the Organizers. At the end of the round organizers will make a pretty poll and you guys can vote on your favorites. Every vote you recieve will add a point to your score. An expert panel will also sit around, with each expert having a vote worth two points. At the end of the event, all points will be talllied and the person with the most points wins!
We might have a secret and speacial tie-breaker round in case of a tie in the scores.
