What is with
"Hey all, vote for my entry, #, in the 'X-Competition' ASAP please! It's a cool idea" (In Real Life)

Not with those words obviously, but I can ask my friends (that I have shown Elements to) to vote for me, right?
It would be normal/moderate advertisement and not "excessive advertisement" as stated in the first post.

With "In real Life" I also mean if it is 1 to 1 chat, like with Skype, Windows Life Messenger, Facebook...

The point about Kong made me wonder something:
Is Elements hosted anywhere other than here and on Kong, and, if so, is it integrated anywhere as deeply as it is with Kong?
Not that I currently know of doublecross, but I highly doubt that aside from Kongregate and the official Elements forums/site, there would be another place that would host the game without Zanzarino's permission.

...when I said that, I meant that you should not advertise your card idea so that your friends can vote on it. Period.

I don't understand what's so hard about not telling people to specifically vote for one's own competition entry regardless of what type of competition it's in (card design, artistic, deck-building, etc.). It's one thing if you want them to get involved with the Elements community and check out the polls, but for you to tell them to log into the forums -just- so that they can vote for your number in a competition is above all, wrong.

So no, please don't tell people to vote on your ideas just so you can win a competition via Skype, Facebook, Windows Life Messanger, MySpace, Chat Roulette (or any chatroom whatsoever), IIRC, Kongregate, etc.

think the rules are a great idea!
As someone who isn't on chat (so many conversations at once just confuse me  :-\) I think this makes it fairer :)

I am wondering... Does the same apply to Card Ideas? I mean, can i say "Hey, can you give a look at my card here: <insert link> and tell me if you have any ideas on how to improve it?"

That being both in the Elements-chat and Kong-chat.

Technically no, AS LONG as that card idea is not part of a competition (currently competing). However, most people don't like others spamming their ideas in elements/kong-chat, as that goes against the rules in regards to general advertisement. If anything, your example of asking for critique and help is noble and okay, unlike others who have literally typed out things like, "VOTE FOR MAH IDEA NAO IN DA DAWKNESS POL". :|

So yes, you can advertise regular card ideas in regards to help and or balancing; I might have to discuss this later within the CIA section though...

I usually ask them on help for balancing either on game chat, or on PMs to my friends that play elements. (I rarely use the elements-chat. but then I rarely play in the official game version. :P) I also avoid asking for help in my cards that are in the Crucible, just for safety. ;)

A small issue we encountered in chat:

The rules may need to be tweaked to account for inverted voting (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29916). Right now, telling people NOT to vote for your submission isn't technically against the rules.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

After several incidents in chat I'm updating these rules.

Open discussion of competition submissions in Elements the Game chat or other areas is now allowed. That means you may link and discuss cards in a competition in chat as long as you don't 'spam' the link, or advertise your submission by pretending to 'look for feedback'.

Users are still not allowed to advertise submissions outside of the voting thread.


This change will be applied to the next few competitions, mainly card design.
If this helps encourage discussion and activity for Competitions, it may become permanent.
However, if this creates even more issues or complaints, I will consider banning all Competition discussion in chat.
