Competition: Design a Competition

[Scaredgirl]

Design a Competition
We need more forum competitions. Now is your chance to submit your cool forum competition ideas and win amazing prizes.

You need to submit one idea for each of these three categories:

1. Card Idea Competition
Design a card to be used in Elements.

2. Screenshot Competition
Post a screenshot(s) that were taken in-game.

3. Other Competition
Any competition not belonging to the above two categories


Here's an example entry for the competition:

1. Card to Use with Holy Cow
We all remember the Holy Cow April Fools card. Now it's time to design a card that has great synergy with Holy Cow!

2. Owned
Post a screenshot or screenshots of you or your opponent getting owned in some way.

3. Forum Treasure Hunt
There are 10 pots of gold (small icons) hidden somewhere on this forum. First person to find all 10 (and post links), wins!

Community will vote for a winner (max 30 entries). Remember, we will vote based on all 3 ideas.

If you have any questions, please post them here. You can also use this same thread for discussing the ideas.

Best ideas will be used later to start competitions with credit going to the person behind the idea.

Good luck.

Time's up!

Lol! A competition for a competition! I'll start things off.

1. The Outcast:
Design a card idea belonging to no element (the section "Other"). It can be anything you choose - a rare weapon, a creature, a spell, a shield... anything, as long as it does not belong to any element.
Remember, synergies are good! For more appealing cards, try to find synergies with other cards.*

2. Hairsbreadth:
Post a screenshot or several screenshots of the closest win or closest loss you have ever experienced. Multiple screenshots allow for an interesting story to be told.

3. Jellybean Jar of Members:
In the span of a week, members post the number of people they estimate will join Elements the Forum** in the next week. After the guessing period is up, the number of people who join the forum over a period of another week is recorded. The member who guessed correctly or was the closest to guessing correctly, wins!

-----------------
*: "Other cards" as in "cards that are not the one you just made", not "cards that have no element".
*: Or Elements the Game.

I like this competition too

Anyway, my entry 8)

1. Nymph? Nymph? Nymph!
Every elements has a nymph, but why not "others"? Design what you think should be the nymph for "others"?

2. Make a sentense
Over 1 week
Apart from the common english words e.g The, is, a, he, she etc. (you get the idea), make a sentense with the name of the cards, the most card used win.
It has to make sense (this will be approved by MODS)
Note: the card has to be in game screenshots...

3. Lets scare Scaredgirl !!!
Over 1 week, everyone on the forum will send 1 message to scared girl (only 1).The message will have a number. This number is a guess to how many message Scaredgirl will recieve over this 1 week period. The message title has to be "Competition: Scaredgirl you rock!!"


3. Rock Paper Scissors!
I dont know why I wanted to call it that, but ibe it this competition or rock paper scissors, you will need to guess what others does
Over 1 week, guess how many post will be moved because its in a wrong section or its too old and needs to be archived. Simply posting a thread in the wrong section so it gets move deliberately to favor yourself will be disqualified

EDIT: Changed #3

Meh, we can discuss ideas in this same thread. There's no harm.
Time to discuss your ideas, Yal.

Your Nymph idea is good, but it won't really work. This is because every one of the 12 elements has an Alchemy card (Antimatter, Liquid Shadow, Quintessence, etc.) The Nymph's abilities reflect those of the alchemy card. Unless you want the creator of the idea to post both an alchemy card for Other and the Nymph, it won't work that well.

Your FG thing is very limiting. Why do we need that many pillars? Why do we need that many cards? I don't really like it; it is highly restrictive and allows for very little creative thought.

Your second one is very similar to mine. I like it Scaredgirl might not appreciate an inbox spam, though.

1. Card Idea Competition
Design a new Shard, which turns into an "other" Creature. Be sure its balanced and not a must in any deck.



2. Screenshot Competition
Write a word or a phrase with the first letters of creatures, (you can also use more rows), and make a screenshot. Smartness and Length are criterias. Example:

The nymph could be limitless, and thats why I like it. It does not have to be bounded by the fact it has an alchemy card. It could just do anything but with any quanta. For example, it could cast infection for 3 random quanta, or it could simply spawn another card like a tower and put it on the top of your draw deck...

i was changing my FG thing but you posted a reply already and it is very simliar to antagon, tho I like antagon's more. i was in edit mode so i didnt even seen your posted until I was done
If you want to disapprove the idea, I can always think up about something else

I like the last one too, something fun, and of coz it could be a little annoying for SG, but then 1 message each as the limit isnt all that bad (a rough guess of 100 or so altogether?). Again SG, if you dont like it, I can change it to something else =)

I was thinking this one is another type of screenshot competition, and hence I left the whole idea of posting screenshots out...

It does not have to be bounded by the fact it has an alchemy card. It could just do anything but with any quanta.

But then, it's not really a Nymph anymore, is it? It would be breaking the general trend; personally, I think consistency is key. Given, it's not strictly an element in and unto itself, but it should still retain some consistency with the rest of the Nymphs.

You and Antagon's second idea are both very nice. I may have to change my second one to keep with the competition

but no "game-screenshot" so its different, and not a single winner, but it would make pvp-leagues less boring and maybe more ppl doing league pvp, so i still like it.

btw. the screens are no must, just would help to verify it.

[icybraker]

Read the rules, please. You need a Card category, a Screenshot category, and an Other category.

Also, Scaredgirl's example also included YOU getting owned.

sry ice i will delete it and make later a post D sry

[Glitch]

The new kid in town: Design a card with a new active ability, like growth or paradox.  This ability must be able to be gained through mutation.  Good cards will fit in their element, have synergy with their element, and make good mutations.
You lucky devil! Post a screenshot of the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you (or your opponent) in elements.  For instance, I mutated a graboid with burrow.  I burrowed it, unburrowed it, and my rainbow opponent quickly fractaled it.  Must have screenshot to prove.

The Biggest Loser: Design a deck that will lose as fast as possible.  This could be used in conjunction with the weekly tournament, where the person who loses two of three matches continues.

[Essence]

1. Card Idea Competition

Fill Out Elements!

Design a card that is designed to fill out one of the Elements that has fewer cards than it's peers.  The card should have definite synergies with at least one card in it's Element, and at least one card in an Element that it's home Element isn't currently commonly used with.  (For example, if you design a card for Darkness, it has to plainly synergize with one other Darkness card and also one other element that Darkness is not often used with, like Air or Water.)  This thread (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,2969.0.html) will be helpful in finding unused synergies.


2. Screenshot Competition

Quanta Crazyness!

First person to submit all six of the following screenshots wins (all screenshots must be vs.an AI opponent):
1) You have exactly 13 quanta in each of your quanta pools. 
2) You strike the killing blow on your opponent with entirely empty quanta pools.
3) The number of quanta in all your combined pools equals the number of cards left in your deck (must be >1).
4) You and your opponent have the exact same quanta pools.
5) The sum of all of your quanta pools is exactly equal to your current HP.
6) You have quanta pools that can be arranged in numeric order (i.e. 13, 14, 15, etc.)


3. Other Competition

Icon Art!

Using only the small element icons, in your submission post, make an Elements-related picture!
