Brawl #6 - Round 1 - Voting

[Fippe94]

Yes, me and CO will discuss that, but until we have made a decision we would appreciate that you kept the points secret as the instructions say.

Is that a, possibly temporary, alteration to the instructions?

You are supposed to tell who you liked and why, but not how you spent your voints. (If you really want to reveal your voints, feel free to)

That was an edit that CO made without telling me >_>
We'll get back to you all shortly with an actual decision.

[MyNameIsJoey]

I know I am not allowed to vote, but well

Spoiler for Royalty:

If I try to negate the bias, I'd have to say most of these tasks are pretty equal. I did not listen to JCJ's as imo it shouldn't be allowed, but I did read them all. They all seem inspirational to me, though obviously I like mine better.

Spoiler for Bard:

My favorite one here is The Tentacle Grip's. The c in Kraken hurts my eyes, but other than that, there's a great propaganda poster.

Spoiler for Crusader:

FROGS: randombow with creatures that represent them. Tentacle's Grip : randombow with creatures that represent them. Pyrocloaks : not randombow, but the deck doesn't represent them at all. I have to say our Crusader task seems to beat theirs by miles.

Spoiler for Enchanter:

Pyrocloaks: It's an ecnahter task, not a scribe task. FROGS: I guess you are comparing the dragon to a predator? In that case you probably could have used any other creature. Which is why my vote would have to go towards the Tentacle's Grip if I have to vote other than myself.

Spoiler for wizcribeORscrizard:

Pyrocloaks: I don't understand how you drinking a potion makes your weapons ignore the dragons armor.FROGS: inspiration came from ... Explains why I'd here again vote for Tentacle's grip if not my own.

Spoiler for AnswerToOldTrees:

I'm afraid the nerfs may be my fault over my team's. However, a creature that has both growth and CC on a stick sounds powerful to me, perhaps too powerful. The only other creature who can deal direct damage to another right now is the Fire Nymph, which has a drawback if the enemy has more than 5 hp. We decided to go towards the same way, having a drawback of delaying itself upon killing an enemy creature. I may be wrong, I really do not think it is underpowered. It is duo because it is a creature of our country, representing darkness, and it spits fire. We cannot make spit fire a darkness ability, you understand that it would have no thematic sense at all. I've always said that, in brawl, themes and originality over effectiveness and balance.

Spoiler for AnswerToLinkcat:

For the wizard/scribe task. As you may read from our boss task, our goal isn't exactly to kill the dragon for ourselves, but mostly to stop the other countries from doing so. Hope controlling their shadows helps you understand how it helps us achieve our goal

As for the voints discussion, I really don't mind if it is give or not, I think it is better shown because it shows us how much certain voters value certain aspects, allowing us to do better next round.

[Fippe94]

After reading some feedback and discussed it, we have decided to make the following changes/additions of the voting system:

It is not forbidden to state your voints (but not required either) in the post. In the final round however, all the votes (and likely reasoning tooo) will be made hidden until the end of the deadline. More information about exactly how this will work will come closer to that round.
Until then though, feel free to state your voints in the topic if you want.

In the event that you decide to change your vote, please ensure you do one of the following after submitting the form again: Send us a PM to notify us, write a new post saying you changed your vote, or add a line about it in your explanation post. This is to confirm that it's really you who's voting.
We hope no one would try to change someone else's vote anyway, but to ensure a fair event, we decided to add this rule.

If you take text (or other stuff) from other sources, you must also be very clear that the submission is not completely original. While the F.R.O.G.S.'s Wizard task did have a note telling this, we believe that this note was easy to miss and not clear enough. For this purpose we have moved this note to the beginning of the submission and made the font a bit larger. If someone from this team have a better idea on how to put this text in a clear way, don't hesitate to tell us.
This of course also applies to all future submissions as well. We Brawlmasters do not have complete information about things in every book or on the whole internet (shocking, I know), so if you see anything that is taken from another source and not properly attributed, tell us ASAP.

Taking something from another source and not edit it at all is strictly forbidden, even if you do state your source (unless a task excplicitly allow it).

Does using things you've made before yourself, but for unrelated projects counts forbidden? Just curious, didn't do that myself.

[Espithel]

You priced the reflection skill as quite valuable which is likely to be a wise move (multipliers are tricky to predict) but I notice the additional cost for the built in interaction is rather low. I would have decreased the casting cost by 1 and increase the activation cost by 1 to better balance the costs.
[3 points]

It's low because it literally would not have fit on the card otherwise; that's also why the effect doesn't mention "a" target. I did want it to be two light initially. To make it cost more, I could've given it a chroma cost, but that looks and feels very ugly.

I was very, very worried about the more degenerate aspects of the leviathan; people on my team wanted it dropped to six water, but I wanted to make absolutely sure it wouldn't cause problems. As for the additional effect, I put the effect in light out of a variety of other options because of how it's thematic with lasers and to encourage other decks with the card; If you compare the ability to, say, plague, you basically have an archangel with an upkept, slightl-more expensive, hits-everything plague.

And you're right; there is no lore about jormungandr with lasers (yet). That's why it's a scaled leviathan.

I really dislike the huge difference in stats on the Leviathan, and the effect is interesting but kind of wonky.

Yeah, fair enough. It was the only buffable thing on the leviathan, and I intentionally tried to make the stats underwhelming on the unupped.

Enchanter Tasks are not allowed to have art in their card unless the task says otherwise.

Because of this, FROGS's card image has been removed. The card info is still readable from the table though.
If you post or PM us the card image without art we will add it into your submission.

You mean enchanter?

[Fippe94]

I do indeed.

[Fippe94]

Also note that the image/text crediting rules applies even if the image is in the public domain and can normally be used without attribution.

This is to make sure that the voters properly understand which part of the submissions you have made yourself and which part you have not.

Anything else, boss?

Yes, one more thing actually:

Taking something from another source and not edit it at all is strictly forbidden, even if you do state your source (unless a task excplicitly allow it).

Does using things you've made before yourself, but for unrelated projects counts forbidden? Just curious, didn't do that myself.

If it's published anywhere, I'd say no to straight copying, but if you heavily edit it and state where you originally published it, it's fine, just like with other sources. You are encouraged to make new stuff specifically for the task though.

If it's not published anywhere, but just sits on your computer, then sure, it's nothing we can check or control anyway.
