How To Create Your Customized Dog Image:By Scaredgirl
Spoiler for Hidden:
I made a Pimp My Dog image creator. It's still not ready (images missing), but this first beta version will give a general idea.
1. Go to step 2.
2. Go to
http://pixlr.com/editor/ and open the file you just downloaded
3. Uncheck the first layer (white text on black background) to reveal all the dogs and their accessories
4. Pick your dog (currently 5 options)
5. Pick accessories
6. Add your own images like this:
1. Find a royalty-free picture from the web
2. Copy the URL of the image
3. Inside Pixlr, open a new image from URL
4. Resize the image if needed, select all, copy, and paste in the main Pimp My Dog file
5. Drag the image to when you want it. You can resize it by pressing Ctrl+T7. Once your image is ready, go to
File -> Save, and choose the
imm.io option
8. Save as PNG
9. Go to link given and copy the image URL. Use that URL to add your newly Pimped Dog on the forum post.
That's it.
3. Before sending the PM, check the "Save a copy in my outbox". This will help you find your Dog in your
Sent Items when it's time to post them. Alternatively you can save the code on your computer.
4. We will wait until all players have sent their PM's to the organizer, after which the organizer will announce that you can post your Dog. After that announcement, go to the next step.
5. Go to
Sent Items in your inbox and find the Dog you built.
6. Take the code and create a new topic in the
Dog Pit main section. The topic title should be the name of your Dog.
Breeding your DogEvery dog has 6 stats: 30 Health (HP), 1 Strength (STR), 1 Defense (DEF), 1 Dexterity (DEX), 1 Agility (AGI), 1 Intelligence (INT).
You will be given 50 Experience Points (Exp) to beef up your dog, increasing HP will cost 1 Exp, any other stat costs 5 Exp.
Health (HP)This is basically the amount of moves your dog can use. If it reaches <30 your dog will be crippled and unable to fight anymore.
After you have decided on how to beef up your dog, you can add any cards to the Hp by following these rules:
- No upgraded cards allowed.
- No more than 6 copies of any card.
- Pillars, Pendulums, and Mark Cards will be added as Quantum Pillars and can be converted to any Pillar/Pendulum/Mark Cards at deckbuilding. (you can have more than 6 copies of those).
Strength (STR)This stat will be used in battle. A higher Strength will cause higher damage when you win the battle.
- Damages opponent's HP by 4 per STR (if you win).
Defense (DEF)A high defense will allow your dog receive less damage.
- Reduces damage taken by 2 per DEF (if you lose)
Dexterity (DEX) - Reduces the number of required wins by 0.75 per DEX (can't go lower than 1).
Agility (AGI)- Increase the number of required losses by 1 per AGI (can't go higher than 5).
Intelligence (Int)A higher Intelligence allows your dog to learn new things faster.
- Increases the amount of EXP per won match by 1.5 per INT (rounded down)
Spoiler for Example for Round 1:
Dog A vs. Dog B
Dog A has 2 STR, 2 DEF, 2 DEX, 2 AGI, 2 INT (and 55 HP)
Dog B has 1 STR, 3 DEF, 2 DEX, 4 AGI, 3 INT (and 40 HP)
Dog A needs: 4 AGI - (2 DEX * 0.75) = 2.5 (round up) 3 wins to win this matchup
Dog B needs: 2 AGI - (2 DEX * 0.75) = 0.5 (round up) 1 win to win this matchup
If Dog A wins, he gains: (2 INT * 1.5) + 1 (round) + 3 = 6 EXP
and Dog B takes: (2 STR * 4) - (3 DEF * 2) = 2 Damage
If Dog B wins, he gains: (3 INT * 1.5) + 1 (round) + 3 = 8.5 (round down) 8 EXP
and Dog A takes: (1 STR * 4) - (2 DEF * 2) = 0 Damage
MatchupThe event organizer will post the matchup in a battle thread.
First matchup will be random. Winners will receive a dummy point, losers gets -1 dummy point. Those players with the same amount of dummy points are matched up for a fight. No player can drop below 0 dummy points
In later fights it is possible to face the same opponent twice or more often in a row, but the organizer will try to prevent this by cheating on RNG a little.
If there is a uneven amount of players, the one with the lowest amount of dummy points gets a bye (if more than one has the same amount, it's randomly chosen between them). The learning is treated normally, though there is no dog to learn cards from. But relics are always available to be learned (you can have more than 6 of those)
DuelsPlayers have 4 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both.
The one who was clearly more active in finding a time for the match gets the win.
It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.
Deck BuildingYou are only allowed to use cards of your Dog's HP to build your deck, the size is free to your choice but obviously can't exceed your Dog's health.
If you have only 1 Nova in your dog's Hp, you may not use 2 Novas in your deck.
If you have only 4 Quantum Pillars in your dog's Hp, you may only use 4 Pillars/Pendulums. You are however allowed to use 1 Time Pillar, 1 Quantum Pillar and 2 Life Pendulums (sum=4).
You may change your deck and mark between games.
After BattleWinner should post a new topic in the "Battle Results" section, along with short description of how the match went. Both the winner and the loser are required to post pictures of both their decks.
When you win a battle, your dog gains EXP = (INT * 1.5) + Round + 3. These can be used to beef up your dog by either adding cards to its HP or increase stats for 5 EXP each.
If you chose to increase its HP, you have to follow these rules:
- You can't add a card the dog already has 6 times in its HP.
- If there is no card that is allowed to be added, then you gain relics. (you can have more than 6 relics)
- You may only choose cards your opponent's dog had in its HP.
When you lose a battle, your Dog receives damage. Your dog also can increase 1 stat point (not HP).
- You need to remove as many cards from the dog's HP as the damage it received.
Once all your training or discarding is complete, you will post a reply the thread of your dog where you will list the changes you made and your dog's new statistics.
ConvertingAfter the match, your are allowed to give your dog an intense training, resulting in a 5 Hp loss and a increase of any stat of your choice.
(can be done multiple times, but can't be undone)
WINNINGWhenever a Dog's HP goes below 30 Cards, that Dog's owner is out.
The last player with a Dog wins the event and this icon:
The winner is also qualified for the 2013 Elements World Championship.
