Grid - Round 5

Round 5 : time's up !

Useful notes

This round, there will be only 11 duels. jippy99 has left, nilsieboy is missing (but may return) and I need even matchups.daccoo has left, Terroking enters ! He will receive daccoo's bans, bets and Relics.I hope we'll finally have a round without any forfeit !DevilLoss picked again a Relic slot as a Target, I replaced it with a random one (K1).If you plan to use upgraded cards,

don't forget to mention the Relics spent in your PM ![/list]Event : Squared slots !

Squared ? They're alrady square-shaped !Sure, but are they arranged as squares ? Beautiful squares...Wait, you can't choose 2 slots in the same row or column.That's irrelevant ! I want squares and I'll give Relics for that !I think you played a little too much.[/list]
Special Rules : If you win (lose), gain 3, 7, 11 (1, 2, 3) extra Relics if you create 1, 2, 3 squares with your slots.

This round Event is my favourite one, and can be very, very tricky. You'll have to create squares with your slot picks to earn extra Relics.

How does it works ? Let's try with a bunch of examples. Draw a little Grid on a paper to visualize the shapes.

C1, B3, D4, E2 create a square.C1, H2, G7, B6 create a square.C1, F2, D5, A4 DO NOT create a square.C1, E3, F4, D3 DO NOT create a square.

So, if you create :

1 square, and win you gain 3 extra Relics1 square, and lose you gain 1 extra Relic2 squares, and win you gain 7 extra Relics2 squares, and lose you gain 2 extra Relics3 squares, and win you gain 11 extra Relics3 squares, and lose you gain 3 extra Relics

A cell can be part of multiple squares. Extra squares aren't worth anything. Due to the awful headache potential of this event, please include in your picks the squares you create (because I won't have time to find them by myself).

Here's a reminder of the slot picking and deckbuilding rules :

No 2 picks in the same row or columnNo card slot you picked last round (see the ban list below). If it's now a Relic slot, you can pick itYou can use 3 upped cards in all your decks for each Relic you spendAny size, any mark, any Pillars and PendulumsCards from the slots you have chosen (not necessarily all), any number of copies of themDouble-check your picks : once you sent me valid ones, you can't change them.

Standings

See the Results Table for your total Relics (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,27564.msg375007#msg375007)

NB : Terroking, your Relic count is 7.

[The_Mormegil]

Gyro, you're my hero.

[valuka]

Must to draw in Photoshop, what you mean, but its very cool And thy Gyro for this amazing event!

[SteppingStone81]

Here are some examples of grids with 3 "squares" of picks:

(staggered 4,1): there are 6x2x4 = 48 such squares


(staggered 3,1): there are 20x2x4 = 160 such sets of picks


(random):


There are more patterns containing at least 3 squares, but you get the point.  Also, most of the decks that come out of these are really, really crappy, so caveat gridder   

[kev]

How does it works ? Let's try with a bunch of examples. Draw a little Grid on a paper to visualize the shapes.

C1, B3, D4, E2 create a square.C1, H2, G7, B6 create a square.C1, F2, D5, A4 DO NOT create a square.C1, E3, F4, D3 DO NOT create a square.

Is C1, F3, D6, F4 a square?
Is D1, H4, E8, A5 a square?

Is C1, F3, D6, F4 a square?
Is D1, H4, E8, A5 a square?

If the first is A4 instead of F4, yes.

[Gyrodiot]

That's right.

C1, F3, D6, F4 is not a square.
C1, F3, D6, A4 is a square.
D1, H4, E8, A5 is a square.

[TheForbiddenOracle]

For 6J, when I put my mouse over it it says 2 relics, though the picture only says one. Which do I rely on?

[Gyrodiot]

6J is 2 Relics. I feared this kind of error... fixed.
