Brawl #4 - Round 2

Time's up! Sending Challenges/Wagers: Time's up!

How will you play? The first blood has already been spoiled, but it is just too soon to draw conclusions. Draw pictures instead... or draw your swords and pistols and keep the bloodbath going strong! Read Brawl Rules All submissions must be made by PM-ing the Brawlmasters using the following format: [ROUND X] ROLES

Forum Brawl Challenges the Masters! Build a deck based upon the catchy phrase of your Boss...  dawn to dusk Lives up to the hype! or  ddevans96 Washes away the competition! or  Fippe94 Knocks 'em dead! or  Captain Scibra Brings the hammer down! or  Vangelios Brings the heat! Pen & Paper... Create an original piece of elements art using only pen. It just died! Create a balanced card with 0 HP. Have fun! Compile a list of the top 5 funniest forum posts of all time. What if Zanz is one of us? Write a short story about where zanzarino may be. EVENT CARD! (M)arth's Challenge! Event Card text: This round, players may issue a challenge against ARTHANASIOS rather than a brawler.  For the purposes of the above event card, for this round (and this round only), ARTHANASIOS is treated like a team of his own with each role represented by the same person (himself). That allows for every kind of Brawler to challenge ARTHANASIOS in a task appropriate for the Brawler's respective role. ARTHANASIOS can't approve/disapprove Challenges targeted to him (they are exclusively approved/dissaproved by Naesala), so do not PM him before PMing Naesala. After being approved by Naesala, the Challenge must be PMed to ARTHANASIOS too. ARTHANASIOS can be treated like multiple members of his "team" in case of a combo challenge. ARTHANASIOS can NOT decline an approved Challenge. Moreover, he has to put an equal effort towards every Brawler that may Challenge him. WARNING!:  In spite of the nature of this event card, ARTH is NOT going to lose any modding powers this round. Because of this, you are strongly encouraged to AVOID using your secret section to discuss about the Event Card, but use PMs towards your teammates instead.      Sending Challenges/Wagers: Time's up! Accepting/Declining Challenges/Wagers: Time's up!

Bonus Task 1 (Round 1&2): Being Cliche Can Be Nice... Redraw the Winner's Award Icon! What the title says. It is a well-kept tradition to have Brawlers creating their own award icon! Size must be 32 x 32 pixels. All teams who submit will receive 5 points. Winner will receive 5 points! Deadline: Round #2 deadline. SUPER BONUS TASK (Round 1-6): Team Newsletter! Create May's Newsletter by co-operating with your fellow Brawlers! Super Bonus Tasks are an additional type of bonus task. There will be only one this Brawl, and it starts and ends with the event. It is supposed to be a co-operative task between every Role and teammate. The Card Designer may do the "Card Idea of the Month" part, the Deck Builder may work at the "Deck of the Month" section, the Off-Topicker may find every member than joined our community and/or crossword of the month, a Forum Expert could work at the Leagues, Tournaments and PvP Events, an Artist is capable of finding pics and/or drawing the Comic of the Month, and the Boss could do a little of everything or whatever. It is up to you to organize your workload and responsibilities... All teams who submit their Super Bonus Task will receive 10 points. Winner will receive 15 points! Deadline: Round #6 deadline. (Meaning of Life) ji412jo VS flyingcat (Gravity Train co.) Spoiler for Challenge: Make a bedtime story. One of the characters must be a flying cat. 500-1000 words. Challenge submission deadline: Time's up!

Does Challenging ARTH come with a bonus point as per the previous round, and does it use up your "once" challenge?

[ARTHANASIOS]

Just a few notes:

* The following line was added to the Event Card's description:
ARTHANASIOS can NOT decline an approved Challenge. Moreover, he has to put an equal effort towards every Brawler that may Challenge him.

* Some aspects of the Challenge-related rules have a few "grey" areas (which I may have to discuss with Nae btw), so:
 - The "Challenging countdown" was replaced with 2 countdowns; a "Sending Challenges/Wagers" coundown and an "Approving/Disapproving" one. The first one declares the time left to send your Challenges (or Wagers) towards other people. The second one shows the time left to accept (or decline) any Challenges (or Wagers) you receive. Do not forget you have to reply back to any PMs you have received from Challengers and Wagers, otherwise we may consider you decline them.
 - Unlike Wagers that take effect at the very same round they are declared and accepted, Challenges take effect the following round (that's mostly because Challenges, unlike Wagers, require extra workload from both the challenger and the challenged).

Does Challenging ARTH come with a bonus point as per the previous round, and does it use up your "once" challenge?

Nope. The extra point was for any Challenges performed the previous round (so, ji412jo has gained such a point for challenging flyingcat), but this is a new round with a totally different Event Card.
And yes. It counts against your "one-challenge-per-brawl" thing. So, if you challenge me, you won't be able to challenge anyone else during this Brawl, though you may accept & decline challenges declared to you normally.

EDIT: "Approving/Disapproving" countdown was removed because it is the same with the countdown of each respective round.

Reading through Round 2 caused uncontrollable laughter.

The Card Design task is hilarious for obvious reasons. Although warning: It will take thought not to stumble into blunders or to miss taking advantage of the 0hp.

The Event card is going to be funny. Sidenote: Good move with the warning

I was kinda hoping the Round 1 Event Card would result in more than 1 challenge but still challenges are fun insights into the brawlers.



Quick question: Is the card design task meant to be creatures only? I ask because I infer it means creatures but it doesn't technically restrict it to creatures.

Noncreatures don't have HP, so it must be a creature. No HP =/= 0 HP. So yes, creatures only ^_^

Is trying to get around the creature having 0 HP allowed?

Technically weapons have hp and a 0hp weapon has been suggested before.
Thanks for the clarification of intent though.

@Frozengaia
I am not a Brawlmanster but consider this question
"Is trying to get around the 0hp the optimal/correct design for the 0hp?"

[Naesala]

Deliberately and obviously avoiding the task is fine. Just don't expect to get any votes at all.

Fair point about weapons. No weapons allowed.

Create an original piece of elements art using only pen.

Good question.
A followup question is: Is using a rainbow of colored pens(as in pens not pencils) in the spirit of the task or does the task imply trying to work with limited color options(presence or absence of ink)?

robvote --> squirrel in oil.  No animal harmed in the making of the painting.

[Naesala]

Pens only, not pencils or other traditional mediums. Multicolored pens would be allowed, though the event is intended for blue and black pens.
