Forum Under Crisis (Kinda)
The forum is under crisis (well… kinda), and it’s up to you to defend it!
1. LORE
There once was a time when the seven types of forumers lived peacefully in coexistence. But that time is coming to an end...kinda. The crisis began when the newbs complained that the forum was too complex and disorganized for them. The BL players proposed that the forum should exist only for PvP. However, the Card Designers countered with the opposite suggestion: to remove all forms of PvP from the forum entirely. The veterans attempted to remove both the BL Players and Card Designers from the forum, but the Administrators foiled their plan. Meanwhile, the rest of the forumers lurked in the shadows, waiting to act on their own mysterious motives.
2. SIGN-UPS
- To sign up, simply post in this thread with the type of forumer you are.
- Each of the seven types of forumers has its own deckbuilding restriction - choose wisely!
- Sign-ups have ended.
3. FORUMERS
Newbs
“I always kinda avoided the forums... They are just kinda yucky.” - joebob555
Lore: The Newbs have just recently arrived to the forum to find a mess of competitive factions, vying for popularity and attention. But when the Newbs suggested eliminating the least important aspects of the forum, they made the problem even worse. The forum is now in a state of crisis, and the Newbs could end up determining which side comes out on top.
Restriction: You cannot use rare cards. The only creatures allowed are Dragons.
BL Players
“Timdood3: 2 mathman101: 0" - Timdood3
Lore: The BL Players were the first to respond to the concern brought up by the Newbs, by proposing to rid the forum of all its non-PvP aspects. Although the BL Players have put forth a very controversial suggestion, they stand by their idea with conviction. After all, PvP is the only part of the forum where true originality is rewarded.
Restriction: You may only use the following three decks: PvP Graboid Rainbow (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/rainbow-decks/pvp-graboid-rainbow-%28unupped%29/), Scrambled Shriekers (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/trio-quartet/scrambled-shriekers/), and Arctic Infection (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/duo-decks/arctic-infection/). You can change a maximum of six cards per deck.
Card Designers
“Was mostly shit at this but I had fun” - Arum
Lore: In response to the BL Players, the Card Designers have made a counter proposal of their own: banning all PvP from the forum. They are willing to fight to the death to defend their ideals, even if it requires PvP. Unfortunately, their PvP strategies always tend to be a little odd.
Restriction: You may only use cards with an odd-numbered quanta cost, with the exception of pillars and pendulums. If you reach the final 8 players, you may design your own card to use in the rest of your matches, which will be played in Elements Cygnia.
Veterans
“I just made this quote for the event.” - RootRanger
Lore: The Veterans have seek to remove both the BL Players and the Card Designers alike from the forum, having grown tired of their absurd requests. The Veterans, however, have a plan of their own. They intend to eventually remove all of the new players from the community, converting the forum into a paradise of only veteran players.
Restriction: You may only use cards from the Original Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/cards/cards-per-patch/msg1155035/#msg1155035) of the game, but you are allowed to seek help from retired forum members to assist you in your deckbuilding.
Administrators
“This is why we can't have nice things” - antiaverage
Lore: Ever since the dawn of Elements, the Administrators have taken a sacred vow to abstain from participating in PvP, focusing solely on maintaining order amongst the forumers. Their vow has just been broken. Recent events have left the Administrators with no choice but to take up arms in order to prevent the forum from collapsing into a state of chaos.
Restriction: The only Elements allowed are Aether and Entropy. Before the match, you may edit this post to alter these rules.
Italians
“Continuerò a fare parte del consiglio fino alla fine del mandato.” - SpikeSpiegel
Lore: The Italians are a secret cult who communicate amongst themselves using a cryptic code. They have devoted their lives to the study of the great creator Zanzarino, who they consider to be the very first Italian. The Italians believe that if they can uncover what caused Zanzarino to disappear, they can bring him back and restore eternal prosperity to the forum.
Restriction: Gli unici Elementi ammessi sono la Vita, la Luce e il Fuoco.
Nymphomaniacs
“+1 :aether 64 total” - hainkarga
Lore: The Nymphomaniacs are players obsessed with having a lot of Nymphs, sometimes through immoral or illegal means. The Nymphomaniacs seek to use their massive collections of Nymphs to convert the entire forum to their wicked way of life.
Restriction: The only creatures allowed are Nymphs.
4. MATCHES AND ELIMINATION
- Pairings are determined completely randomly, for each match. Upon losing two matches, a player is eliminated.
- Upgraded cards are not permitted.
- Matches are best-of-five. The first player to win three games wins the match.
- At the beginning of each round, players are paired against 1 opponent. Players have 7 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a private message and try to find a time that suits them both.
- After the match, both players must submit their results and decks in the official thread for the round.
- The winner of the event is awarded an award icon. The second place player is not awarded anything. The third place player is awarded a staff title of their choice.

Thanks for the correction. You've proven yourself to be a true Italian, and I've added you to the sign-ups accordingly. Unfortunately, you can't really qualify as a Veteran unless you win a few more events. You could maybe win 4-5 tournaments before the sign-up deadline, perhaps?QuoteRestriction: Gli unici Elementi ammessi sono la Vita, la Luce e il Fuoco

I wanna be admin.I've tentatively added you as an Italian, since you seem like you'd be pretty good with cryptography. I can't really add you as an admin, though. Staff positions aren't really a sufficient qualification. Perhaps there any forums you are an Administrator of?

I'd also like to take a minute to fully explain the Admin's restriction. Let's say you expect your opponent to bring a Grabbow, and you don't think you can win with just Aether and Entropy cards. You can change the rules to allow Fire and Light cards - and then catch your opponent by surprise with a Firestall! Of course, the downside to this role is that other Admins can use Firestall against you!

I have to disagree with this. I started playing before you did, and in the tournament I won I beat Ginyu and RavingRabbid, which means I'm better at PvP than them. I think that qualifies me.

Does the opponent get to see the Administrator's edit before the confrontation? If yes, how long before?
Also, when you say Original Series, you really mean no patch at all? :'(
In the Original Series, SoG and SoD were only available upgraded, does that mean they can't be used by Vets even in an unupped version?
NO UPGRADES? :'( :'( :'(
You animal.

I'd like to sign up as an Administrator. I am Admin on another Element-related forum, so I am qualified.Excellent - the two roles we have the fewest of! Now, the only restriction is that the Cygnia team gets to decide whether or not the card goes into the game. So it's not a very effective ability if they're matched up against you!

Admins are free to edit the post to allow them to use all twelve Elements - but then, one of the Admins can reverse the edit during the middle of the match to cause the original Admin to be disqualified for having an illegal deck.

I do plan on still hosting new events in the future, however. The ideas are already in the works. In the meantime, you can sign up for Team PvP (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/three-man-team-pvp/three-man-team-pvp-7-rules/) if you want to join an event.
Now, to go over the numerous instances that should have raised suspicion as to why this event was not a serious one…
- The acronym for the event is FUC(K). That was not accidental.
- Card Designers could potentially design their own card to be used in the event, no matter how imbalanced or overcomplicated, and force poor Fippe to code it into Cygnia, just so it can be used in one match.
- Veterans are allowed help from retired forum members.
- Administrators can edit their deckbuilding rules to give themselves essentially no restrictions whatsoever.
- Basically everything about the “Italian” role - how they’re considered a separate type of forumer, how they’re a “secret cult,” how their entire language is horribly misrepresented as a “cryptic code,” and how their deckbuilding rules are written in Italian. This was by far my favorite role to write. It is true, however, that Zanzarino is Italian - that was my inspiration (the original idea was some sort of Cult of Zanzarino).
- The fact that Nymphomaniacs are an entire type of forumer, plus the fact that they use “immoral or illegal means” to get “Nymphs.” All innuendos were intended here.
- There’s no prize at all for second place, but third place gets a staff title of their choice.
- Lastly, the fact that players were arbitrarily prohibited from signing up for certain factions, based solely on my personal opinions of them.
Apologies to those who thought this was an actual event, but a little attentiveness could have easily dispelled that idea. I’ll see ya’ll for my next event. I’m thinking about either a Star Wars or Game of Thrones theme.

Hello, I'm a bloody diva and I will only be playing on regular EtG.Very well then - but you'll have to use all 4 restrictions! It may be difficult to make a legal deck, but you're smart enough to figure it out.
I guess I'd qualify as Nymphomaniac (53 Nymphs), Italian (Latin based languages ftw, been there often, parlo, capisco), Veteran (been here a bit), and, of course, eternal Newb (wuts teh best Elimint?).
also the thread in general discussion was suspicious

Would be fun if we actually did this btw, even if there will be no prizes and the event is totally unbalanced :P

Someone translate the italian for me xD

If I got it right, the only elements allowed for Italians are :life :light :fire (colours of the Italien flag). Correct me, if I am wrong.
However, Spike's quote would interest me, too. ^^ Although it is likely nothing special.

Game 1 vs. Mono Entropy
Lost coin toss, rob got a turn 2 Discord. I then noticed he was using pends so we restarted with the same decks.
Won coin toss, decent start. Rob opened a lot of quanta and never drew Discord. Held off Maxwell's with a couple RTs. Won with ~35? HP.
Game 2 vs. Speed Poison
Won coin toss, started with both Fogs and little damage. Rob opened triple Poison, but no Arsenic. Momentums helped against Bone Wall, won by a turn with Deflag.
Game 3 vs. Mono Darkness
Won coin toss again. Turn 1 Arsenic and Lycan. Drew no other quanta, so Devourers locked me out and Drain Lifes left me with a single Graboid that I couldn't evolve. Steal came 1 turn too late, barely won with poison damage.
GGs rob, always a pleasure!

Game 1a: Replay -- oops, no Pendulums until much later than 1.14!
Game 1b: Loss -- it was as Lc described.
I drew 6 opening hand quanta... whoop-tee-dooh!
Game 2: Loss -- as Lc described.
BW is great against smashmouth rushing... I went 2nd and lost by half-turn. *le sigh*
Game 3: Loss -- Lc describes it accurately.
I couldn't catch up from going 2nd against double-Nova double creature + Arsenic.
Good games, well played, and thanks for the match Lc! What a fun super serious very real event match. :D

This combination isn't possible for deck building, if I'm not put into a specific category quickly, I'll have to forfeit.

Putting all the restrictions together, these are the cards you are allowed to use. I'm sure you'll come up with something.Oh come on itr, even I could manage that.

On an unrelated note, I just added an extra number to the link and it turned grey. That's probably bad; I'm assuming poor circulation

There seems to be some bug in the forum software. I have not yet recieved the Admin powers I need to participate in this event. If this isn't fixed soon I'm afraid I have to forfeit.You're an admin, can't you fix it?
