Card Design War #2
Original Idea by Kuroaitou | Art by Kuroaitou (and Xenocidius)
Survive as the ultimate card designer in this unique Card-Design PvP format!
Spoiler for Main Rules:
MAIN RULES:- Before the Tournament begins, members are first asked to sign-up for the competition. A maximum of 32 players can sign-up; surplus players -might- be able to substitute for players who drop out, but this latter part only applies to the first round(s).
- The Tournament is organized in a single-elimination format. Each round, participants are seeded against one another (brackets will be provided) and given a royalty-free piece of artwork to design a card concept. The artwork cannot be modified in any way, shape, or form.
- Starting from the first round, there will be a special set of requirements to what the card does or how it must behave. (i.e. - the card cannot deal direct damage to the player/the card must be of the element X, etc.)
- Participants post their card ideas in the Card Idea Competition Submissions sub-board, located here: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,232.0.html
During each new 'round', they must post their cards in the EXACT topic they started. See the format of how to do this here:
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,36746.0.html - All cards are then accumulated in the voting phase; each of the 'card battles' are shown on display in a single post, with a poll for each 'card battle' (every two cards in a 'duel' has a poll with two options). Members are then asked to vote for either idea from the two card ideas that are competing against one another. Cards that fit the requirements accurately and are innovative will generally succeed; ones that don't will generally fail and will most likely be dropped.
- Once the winners of that round are declared, the seeding is repeated and new art assigned, with different limitations for the round and new polls. This process repeats until there is only one left standing...
- ...and the winner will get a (semi) customized award icon for their efforts!
Because this is the second Card Design War, there is a new twist on the entire tournament scheme; because we are currently being reigned by Death, there is a new part to the entire competition:
Ghosts.
WHAT/WHO ARE GHOSTS?- You! ...Well, if you lose. Every round, the losers of each match-up automatically become a 'ghost' upon losing.
- As a ghost, you have a skill called 'Curse'. After the voting phase is over, and the winners are announced, the 'ghosts' may then choose to inflict a 'Curse' on their challenger. Note that in order to continue haunting your opponent in your ghost form, you must guess how many votes they will have in their match-up against their new opponent; if you are within 2 votes of their total, you may continue haunting. Otherwise, the organizer will cast an exorcism and remove all ghosts that round who fail to guess within the number of votes of their targeted opponent.
- Curse: For the following turn, you may curse your opponent's match-up by adding an additional requirement for their card from a selection of requirements that the organizer will provide. These additional requirements are not as specific as the round requirements, but can often add more complexity to the card designing process for your opponent.
- If you do not 'Curse', you can still choose to 'guess' your opponent's estimated number of votes for the following turn to continue 'watching over them'. If you don't provide a guess for the votes however, you will be exorcised automatically.
- Ghost Phase:
- Curse (guess how many votes your target will have next round) -> Select an additional requirement for your target
Will you be the Card Making Master? Or just a Card Creating Disaster?
