Special Competition:
Elements Cards Flavor Text
Time's up!
(http://o.imm.io/Hxy.png) (http://o.imm.io/HAL.png) (http://o.imm.io/HAP.png)
Cards above are simply examples made in 3 minutes.
Welcome to another EPIC competition. This time it's about flavor text. Idea for this competition came to me after reading that one post where someone suggested adding flavor text to Elements cards. It's a great idea that I think would add the the awesomeness of Elements.
This competition does not mean that flavor texts will be implemented in Elements.
Information about flavor text:
Flavor text is the name given to text for action figure character backgrounds, playing cards, or within the pages of a role-playing game's rulebook. While appropriate to the product's or game's story concept, it usually has no effect on the mechanics of the game, but instead serves to add realism or characterization to the item in question. Flavor text is often the last text on a card or on the rear of a toy card or package, and is usually printed in italics or written between quotes to distinguish it from game-affecting text.
COMPETITION RULES:
- 3 image submissions per person (all in same post)
- If you change your submission, edit the original post instead of starting a new one
- Before the voting starts, we will preselect 1 card per type that will go on the poll. This means that if 5 people make "Steal" flavor text image, only 1 of them get to go to the actual winning poll. This card will be chosen by myself and Event Organizers. (this rule is to prevent a situation where there are 300+ submissions and it takes me 6 hours to make the poll).
- because of the previous rule, it's smart to pick a card that others haven't picked. If you are the only one who picked a specific card, you will go to final vote for sure.
- winner will get an awesome forum award icon + a small ingame cash prize
- Use this topic for all discussions
- below is a tutorial on how to produce these card images
We will have 2 different categories: Only one category!!!
1. Serious ideas that fit Elements theme and could be used in the game (humor IS allowed if it doesn't go overboard)
2. Funny ideas (internet lingo, current events, modern jokes)
Winners from both categories will be rewarded. Only one reward so that we are consistant!!!
OPENING FILE
1. Download Elements cards in need of flavor text (http://www.mediafire.com/?ynwan5nzntn) on your computer.
2. Go to http://www.pixlr.com/editor/ .
3. Choose "Open image from computer", and find the file you just downloaded and open it.
MAKING A CARD IMAGE
1. Make the "Layers" panel on the right bigger by dragging on the bottom right corner of it. You should now see a big list of different layers. first 12 layers for flavor text, rest of them are card images.
2. Each layer has a small checkbox on the right. Click a checkbox to make that layer visible, or unclick it to make that layer invisible. Choose one card layer, and the correct text layer. Only cards that have space for flavor text have been included.
3. Click the text layer in the "Layers" panel so that it is selected. Choose the "Type Tool" from the left (it looks like a big A)
4. Click the flavor text on the image and a text editing window should open.
5. Change the text and press "Ok".
6. If the text is in the wrong place (for example not centered), choose "Move Tool" and move it around.
SAVING AND UPLOADING THE FILE
1. Once ready, click "Save", and save the image as PNG to your computer. Then just use any image hosting provider to upload your image to the web. You can also use the one offered by Pixlr in that "Save" window.
2. When you have the image url, simply attach the image to your post.
Good luck.

I sense a lot of "You've been thunderstruck" thunderbolts ;D
3. Choose "Open image from computer", and find the file you just uploaded and open it.
Shouldn't it be the file you just downloaded?
Administrator Comment Thanks. Fixed.

Unfortunately Otyugh is not included because there is no space on the card.

Your file is pretty cool, but it lacks a lot of cards, like Dragons and other vanilla creatures. Any reason why this is?
-
yeah i wanted to do abomination with the same flavor text but couldn't :'(

Queen and Nymph are brilliant. I like your set the most so far (besides mine, of course).
-
Thank you very much :)
I put a lot of thought into them. The improved heal was just because I really like that line. "For the journey home". In the context, it's quite beautiful.

the fire one IS HORRIBLE XDDD

I've liked RavingRabid's Phoenix, and finkel's Elite Queen best so far.
-
Try to submit flavor texts that could be used in the game
I just noticed this, and I'm not sure what it entails. Do references (My Parallel Universe, RavingRabbid's Thunderbolt) count as acceptable in-game flavor text? Are we looking for humor or drama?
-
(http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4205/dragonfly.png) (http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6008/dragonflyenglish.png)
Damselfly is 1 entry, I prefer the Japanese but thought I would put an english translation up too. Of course I was so thrilled with Basho's haiku I failed to notice it was for the Damselfly, not the Dragonfly... (But hey dragonfly might need some flavor text?)
(http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/6218/eclipse.png)(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3626/blessing.png)
PS. Why doesn't pixlr allow me to have a transparent background?
-
Aaw. If only they'd rename Vulture or Condor into Raven. Then your Nightfall text could be used for it. ;)
-
is there anyway to have that list posted in the first post? my comp doesn't want to open it
also it sucks that dragons don't seem to be on the list, I had the perfect one for the ivory dragon "Not even death can stop its vanity"
I'll update this when I have some cards
-
"what do you mean its yours?" that and finkel's ffq first and last one made me ROFL :P
-
Really amazing ones here. Hopefully mine are okay as well. ^^;;

EDIT: Changed to have more original cards/more serious ones.
-
I think I'll come up with a new third card instead of heal, since people like the other two so much. I really love my submission for the Firefly Queen because she looks like she's saying "you wanna go, punk?" with her pose.
-
i always thought it was a more lustful stance than agressive, considdering the fact that there is no firefly king. but the agressive fits as well
-
haha, I can totally see the precocious stance, too ^_^
-

i think, at least seeing from what we have up to here, the flavor texts are meant to be only for upped cards, perhaps as a little surprise when u upgrade the cards.
the card list thing only has upgraded cards you know. o_o
so many unuped cards that i wannna put flavor texts as well :(

I'm actually thinking we should probably have two categories in the vote:
1. "Serious" flavor texts
2. Funny flavor text
First one would be flavor text that would fit the theme of Elements. Humor could be used as long as it didn't go overboard.
Second on would be for funny flavor text with internet lingo, modern jokes, etc.

Yes, that was exactly the plan.

I can't seem to get the file to work (I have a Mac...what application should i try to open the pxd file in?)
but for now i'll just try to get my ideas down
Steal--"My precious"
Rage Elixer--"Whoopass in a bottle"
Quicksand-- "You and what quanta?"
-
Quicksand-- "You and what quanta?"
That sounds oddly familiar...
-
SG, I know Chaos Power only has 1 line for Flavor Text, but can I do a flavor text for Chaos Power? Please? My text will fit. I have a great idea for it and I don't really like my Eclipse one. You don't have to add it to the template or anything, I'll do it manually.

That wouldn't really be fair to others because you wouldn't have to compete with the other ideas and would get a spot in the "finals" for sure.

I love the line "this is why we can't have nice things" but it doesn't quite work for me with the fire storm. I like it, but I have the feeling it would work better on another card.

:( It was going to be "Well, it's a mixed Blessing".
I still think my Eclipse is pretty weak... I'll think of something later.

I like it for Fire Storm better than Earthquake, actually...

Sorry :(

Protect artifact
"nothings worse than not being able to blow crap up"

EDIT: Due to my apparent lack of graphic design, text color has been changed to correspond with the colors offered in the .pxd file.

Actually, I think using a lighter shade of the card's color is much more consistent and prettier.

oh,and in case you didn't know,1st and third for humor,2nd for sincerity
-
Because I am someone who likes consistency, I decided to only use one color of flavor text.
After looking at all of the colors, I actually liked Aether the most.

EDIT: Just to be sure nobody mistakes this, my entry goes into Serious.
Using same color for all different backgrounds is not consistency, it's just bad graphic design. Rules were clear on the first post. You need to redo those cards or they will not be in the finals.
-
If there only was a rabbit in the game I could write as flavor text "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!"
-

I think "Where's a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch when you need one?" would be funny. Otherwise, it's just a straight-up reference, and though Monty Python is funny, you need to make the reference funny, too.

It has been discussed already, no. It would give you an unfair advantage in the competition because you are using cards that other players can't.
-
Yep, I left all these cards out from the template:
- cards with only one line or less space for flavor text
- cards that have the "GRAPHIC ART BY.." (because it would mean we would have to move flavor text)
-
People, be creative, I want to see some more.

I don't think anybody else is going to submit, why don't we close for voting?
-

We might as well keep it open, since there is really no rush to close it early. However, since the competition is split into two different sections, submitted ideas will be low.
Not that I mind though, since I might win the first competition I entered. :D
-
what if the card got the graphic art by moved to the corner of the art for the picture like in the template? itd be a hard task but if flavour text was to be introduced it'd be nice to have everything with it
-
Finally made a third card... It just... worked. Had to resize the font for it to fit, though. =>_>=

No non-competition related images please. It makes setting up the poll more difficult.

That cards one needs to be better though IMO.

I did some Googling. Here's the MtG card: http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardscans/MAG_M10/RisefromtheGrave.jpg
It's not identical but I think it's too close. If it were from something else, there wouldn't be problems, but because it's from MtG, it's kind of lame.
-
DAMN it. I KNEW I'd heard that somewhere.
Time for rewriting.
The first card is a (vague) reference to the Simpsons... I suppose I should be upfront about that one too. Homer has a rhyme that goes "Leave's of three, let it be; leaves of four, eat some more"
Skeleton image changed.

Nah. That's a bit different because it's a common phrase used in movies etc. and many people don't even think of it as a quote from the Bible.
Copying something from the most popular CCG is clearly a bigger "offense".

WHAT? HUMOR CARDS NOT ALLOWED? ???
