Card Idea Competition: Opposites attract! Voting starts tomorrow

[Purity_Riot]

On a side note, my apologies to both the competitors and spectators as to the quality of this contest. I made alot of mistakes that at the very least I've learned from. Expect better work from me in the future.

[Bloodshadow]

So basically you're saying that my cards violate one of the rules and do not qualify, so I have to change them?

[Kael Hate]

They're still up there at the top, but Zenith/Nadir was at 6 and the closest competitors were at 4 (My entries and Kami's Blessed One/Demonic Aura). I think another one might have been 4 or 3, but I forget which one it was.

Btw, voted for Ice Age/Burning Stallion because they're my cards, and I wouldn't have entered them if I didn't think they were good, Blessed One/Demonic Aura because I do believe they share a good synergy, with one being on the verge of UP and the other nearly OP, and Proliferation/Zombie, because I like both of their ideas and I actually suggested something like Proliferation for the shield competition.

I like Kamietsu's art, but Guardian Angel and Archangel blitz the Blessed one 10 fold.
Demonic Aura also plays better with quint on a Charger or Vampire or really most other elements than Light because of its Once off limitation being a spell. 

BTW.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/synergism
1. the interaction of elements that when combined produce a total effect that is greater than the sum of the individual elements, contributions, etc.

Does it have Synergy? yes.
Is it a good Synergy? I think its average. The Aura has a greater synergy with other cards because the elemental costs work better within those elements and/or the other cards have an effect with the aura that generates an even greater result.

Maybe entries should have a short paragraph with the entry to explain what synergy their cards have and allow anyone to dispute that synergy or other failures to meet the Comps sub goals like being able to work independently or be able to be game implementable.

[Purity_Riot]

No, I'm saying if you want your cards to be included, they should be applicable. Your cards do not create a synergy with eachother, so they do not qualify. It was a mistake on my part not to point this out earlier.

[Essence]

S'okay, Purity_Riot, when I organized my first PVP event (USA vs. World), I sucked that one up pretty bad, too.  We don't hold it against you. 

[Bloodshadow]

No, I'm saying if you want your cards to be included, they should be applicable. Your cards do not create a synergy with eachother, so they do not qualify. It was a mistake on my part not to point this out earlier.

Very well. I have already thought of another pair of cards that actually synergize with each other without mentioning each other's names. I will change my submission later.

[Purity_Riot]

As I said, you cannot submit new cards, you may however tweak your existing ones. It is not because they name eachother, it is because they do not provide a synergy.

[Bloodshadow]

What? I made two weapons. How do you expect them to synergize with each other without Animate Weapon?

If you told me earlier that my entry was not acceptable, I could have had the chance to change it. So I feel that I should be able to change my entry completely.

[Kuroaitou]

As I said, you cannot submit new cards, you may however tweak your existing ones. It is not because they name eachother, it is because they do not provide a synergy.

Purity, are there any other cards that lack synergy by chance? What about my cards? Ribdule/Radiated Goo? Are those okay, or should I rework them in order for them to be satisfactory?

[Bloodshadow]

Come on, Purity. I ask you a question, and you leave? You can't expect me to make synergy out of two weapons, because to do that Animate Weapon is required. Again, you should have told me earlier so I can change my submissions; I still feel that I should be able to change them completely.

[Purity_Riot]

I apologize that that's the case Blood, but the deadline was met, and by the deadline you had not submitted a set of cards that were acceptable for the contest. I'm giving you the chance to tweak them, but it would be unfair to let you submit new cards. The requirement was that they provided a synergy to eachother, which they obviously don't. Read what I said above, if you need to change one to a permanent, or to a shield, that's fine, as long as it's still recognizable as your original entry, and the name doesn't change.  13 hours left.

Come on, Purity. I ask you a question, and you leave? You can't expect me to make synergy out of two weapons, because to do that Animate Weapon is required. Again, you should have told me earlier so I can change my submissions; I still feel that I should be able to change them completely.

Well, from this:

CLARIFICATION: This is a chance to rework your current card entries, not to enter new cards. I don't care if your new card is barely recognizable as it's original, but the names of the cards that have been entered will not change, and I expect to see a similarity at the very least to your originals.

I would assume all you have to do is keep a bit of similarity, the elements, and the names. It doesn't leave you much to work with though, since the only properties your cards have are stat boosting and lowering, which is hard to make synergize (Unless you do something like one gives/gains +2/+3 and the other gives -2/-3 and some effect or other) and free ability costs, which is also hard to make synergize without mentioning names.
