I'm probably going to lose, but I might as well give it a shot. ^^;;
1) Card Idea CompetitionAn Otyugh's DietAs much as we all love to play Elements, sometimes (hopefully) we have to stop playing in order to get something in our stomachs to energize ourselves... and continue playing Elements.
So with that in mind...
Design a card (spell, permanent, or even a creature) that's based off of
food or an object related to food for any of the elements (example: you can make a pseudo-like name for a special patch of berries with an effect, or put in a specialized butcher knife). The only restrictions are:
a) Avoid creating cards with names that have (or directly implies) a SIGNATURE brand name in them (Pillsbury Cake, Sara Lee's Apple Pie Crumble Fun Disaster, etc.).
b) Try to apply foods that would be available in a time before technology and food processing occurred (no junk food, or 'dieting' food, or artificial food) - there might be some exceptions to this.
c) Avoid putting multiple food items in a card (Big Feast cards, Happy Meal (this also breaks rule (a)), etc.)
2) Screen shot CompetitionA REAL Rainbow.Post a screen shot of a card battle between you and a *non-player opponent with your hand and/or the creatures on the battlefield
being organized by their elemental color to form a typical pattern of a rainbow/prism. You must have at least 4 colors that are aligned accordingly, and the creatures can be in any 'direction' (if you're lucky, you can also align the colors vertically depending on how the AI has played his creatures, or diagonally - having a light dragon in your top left corner of your creature field, two fallen druids below and to the right of it, an ash eater to the bottom/side of the druids, etc.).
---A 'Rainbow' is designated in this order:
(and the cycle continues)
---You can have 'smaller rainbows', such as:
, or even
---
'Other' cards are discounted. You may not use them in your deck/hand/playing field to provide spaces or boundaries of the rainbow [You can still use Quantum towers/pillars to gain quanta, but for less points]
---Your mark has no negative/bonus effect on the competition
---Permanent cards are ignored in scoring
You get more points for organizing your creatures/deck hands with longer stretches of the elements, if the computer plays the cards accordingly (or has his hand in a organized manner by color like above by seeing them with Precognition), or if you manage to make a rainbow in your hand and on the battlefield.
*This rule is here to prevent two players from coordinating this and winning the competition.
3) Other CompetitionNymphomania Rare MythologyWrite a short story regarding the background of the Nymph(s) or Weapon(s) found in-game. How is it that 12 maidens have barely any background on the old/new Wiki?
Only restrictions are:
a) Keep the story under X words [Novels are lovely, but a casual reader has to connect to the story of that/those particular Nymph(s)/Weapon(s), and vote on which story is the best, and longer stories may be avoided for that reason if they find it obsessively long]
b) Keep it age appropriate. No extreme violence or sexual material is needed to convey a message.
c) Proofread! Bad spelling and grammar makes people like SG and others like:
Thanks again for this topic SG!
