Grid - RulesOriginal idea by:
Gyrodiot | Developed by :

TStar | Organized by:
GyrodiotThe Grid is made of 144 slots. If there's a card in them, you may use it for your deck. If it's a Relic, you may claim it after your victory. Beware, the Grid is changing and you'll have to choose the best slots. Limit yourself to gain more Relics, but don't be too greedy... This is a score-based Event.
The rules are splitted in two posts. Don't miss the second one !
1. HOW TO SIGN UP?Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.
Maximum amount of participants for this event is
32. If the event is full, you can still sign up as a reserve player, and will get a chance to join the event if any of the 32 players doesn't show up during round 1.
The event will last
30 days (10 rounds of 3 days) and use the PvP Parasite Warning System.
2. THE GRIDThe Grid is made of 144 slots, each one containing a card or Relics.
The Grid is fully public :
every player know where cards and Relics are. The initial positions of the cards are decided randomly at the beginning of the event.
Every round, players have to
choose 12 slots in the Grid, with the following rules :
You may not choose 2 slots in the same row or columnYou may not choose a card slot you have chosen in the previous round. There are no restrictions on Relic slots.If the slot contains a card, you may use copies of it in your deckIf the slot contains N Relics, you'll gain N Relics if you win your duel. This is cumulative.
Moreover, they must
choose three Target slots among the 12 slots they picked. A Target must be a card slot, and will be
filled by a Relic is the player wins the duel.
3. PAIRINGS AND DECKBUILDINGPairings are posted at the beginning of the round, along with the current Grid. Pairings are decided randomly. A player may not encounter another one twice during the Event. If there's an odd number of players, the "lonely player" automatically wins and gains the lesser number of Relics gained by the winners of the round.
Players have to choose 12 slots and three Targets on the Grid. They can also
spend a certain number of Relics they already have (see deckbuilding rules below).
All these informations (slots, targets, number of Relics spent)
must be sent by PM to the Organizer
before the battle starts. Any battle occuring without it will result in an immediate loss for the player(s) who didn't send his/her PM.
You can build any deck, with these restrictions :
Cards aren't upgraded by default.If you spend one Relic you gained, to have the right to use 3 upgraded cards in each of your decks this round. For example, if you spend 3 Relics, you may use up to 9 upgraded cards this round.Any mark, any sizeAny Pillars and PendulumsCards from the slots you have chosen (not necessarily all). You can use any number of copies of them.
4. ROUND EVENTSEvery round,
unique restrictions will be posted along with pairings and Grid. What are they ? Mystery.
You won't have to follow them, but you'll usually gain some extra Relics if you do.
5. DUELSDuring the 3 days, players must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event Organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final. If the fight didn't happen, the winner gains the lesser number of Relics gained by the winners of the round.
Matches are
best-of-five. The first player who wins 3 individual duels, wins the match.
You're allowed to switch between decks during the match (as long as they all meet the deckbuilding rules of course).
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.
6. AFTER DUELSWinner should post their result 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, and their slot and Target picks.
7. THE NEW GRIDOnce the duels are completed, the Grid is updated as it follows :
If a slot hasn't been picked by a winner, nothing happens ;If a Relic slot has been picked by a winner, Relics are removed, and a random card (not already in the Grid) is put in the slot ;Relics are added in Target slots chosen by winners. If a single slot is targeted by more than one winner, it will receive several Relics.
8. WINNERAfter 10 rounds, the player with the most Relics is the winner of the event. This cool forum icon and squared glory will be awarded:
