New and improved Card Ideas and Art section

[Scaredgirl]

Kuroaitou, TimerClock14 and myself have reorganized the Card Ideas and Art section (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html).

What is New?

Exhibition Hall
Old "Series" subcategory has been replaced with "Exhibition Hall" which will have two subcategories:

1. Series (same as before)
2. Portfolios (card ideas listed by designer)

Exhibition Hall also has Card Designer Rankings (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24056.0.html) topic that lists all the top card designers in the community. Rankings are explained below:

You will gain points as follows:
1 point for each card you have in Level 2 - Forge
3 point for each card you have in Level 3 - Armory
9 point for each card you have in Level 4 - Reliquary
3 points for each card competition win

FAQ:
Ideas posted earlier give you points (not just new ones).
Ideas that are archived, give you points.
Ideas still in Level 1 - Crucible, give zero points.
You cannot lose points.

How can I get my name listed in the rankings?
Because we now need to insert a lot of data in that spreadsheet, we are asking help from the community. If you want your name listed in the rankings, please do the following:

1. Card Ideas and Art section (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/board,6.0.html) and count how many cards you have listed in level 2 or above (archived cards included).
2. Count the number of card competition wins you have (if any)
3. Reply to this topic, copy-paste the code below, and insert correct numbers.

Code: [Select]

[table]
[tr]
[td]Name[/td]
[td]Cards in Forge[/td]
[td]Cards in Armory[/td]
[td]Cards in Reliquary[/td]
[td]Competition Wins[/td]

[td][center]0[/center][/td]
[td][center]0[/center][/td]

[/tr]
[/table]4. Post your reply so that it looks like this:

Name	Cards in Forge	Cards in Armory	Cards in Reliquary	Competition Wins
InsertName	0	0	0	0

By doing this, you help out the Card Curators in the updating process. Thanks.

After the data has been inserted, it will automatically update in the Card Designer Rankings (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24056.0.html).


Idea Factory
Idea Factory is a place where only the top designers will gain access to. It's an exclusive club for people who are serious about developing high quality card ideas. We are still working on this idea, and more details will be posted later.

How should cards with multiple authors be counted?
(For instance would cards by the CommunalCardCreation count for all initial authors or just the person who makes the thread after the idea is designed?) [The author that contributed the most as decided by the authors will get the points.]
It is very wise to only count Forge and above to remove an incentive to spam card ideas.
I am wondering if articles on design theory should count and if so what standard would they be held to? [No. Too subjective.]
I like this improvement to the CIA section.

This is including Winter, which just won in the Forge but hasn't been Curated up to the Armory yet.

One whole point. Huzzah.

[EmeraldTiger]

can we help you with the data or does each individual have to submit their own?

To avoid us adding same data twice, I didn't include that lat Armory card of yours. you will get points from it after it's actually moved to Armory.

Yes, you can add data of other users as well. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.



Rankings have been updated. The battle for the best card designer has begun.

Ah, that's cool.  Didn't realize.

I'm just waiting patiently for someone to post a better point total than 14... laid down the gauntlet, I have!

16 points in total.

The competition I won was the Opposites Attract card design competition where we had to design a pair of cards for one of the opposing elemental pairs. My submission was Zenith | Zenith and Nadir | Nadir.

[johannhowitzer]

Ooh!  I spoke too soon.

EDIT: SG, my entry on the table is incorrect - it should be 3|3|0|0, since Winter is still in the Forge.  The 2 I counted from the Forge in my post were Sandstorm and Earthchild.
Thanks!
