I've got an idea for a video if someone were willing to get art/do voices.

I'm pretty adept at doing a variety of voices and accents, IMO.
You can be the judge of that, though.
What do you need?

Well, the general idea is simple.  The advertisement revolves around one elemental chained in Zeru's base, with screaming in the background.  I've even got a script.  Unfortunately, the implementation itself isn't easy.  It's not something you can do with music, card art, and text.

"Years ago, the first war began.  It was back then I first realized the elementals would never get along."

View change (if possible), to a dude straining the chains.  Think of Morpheus when Agent Smith was going to shoot him with a mini-gun.  Side view (if possible)

"The reign of fire was a harsh reign.  The world was scorched, turned to ash."

Close up on face (if possible)

"Years ago, I imagine, the second war began.  But I don't know how long it's been, don't know how long I've been in here."
...
Whispered at the end:  "the fallen shall rise"

I just finished recording these lines, but I'd like to point out that you used "years ago" for both the first and second war (lines 1 and 3). If the video's action packed, I don't think anyone would notice, but.. yeah. It's still there. I'll upload them in a sec and PM the download link to you (if the forum permits me..).

I think I PM'd you. I'm not sure though. My Outbox doesn't work, so I can't tell what I've sent or not.. Here's the download link for the voices. There weren't really any guidelines, so just let me know if you need any changes or a total do-over in a different voice / accent / whatever.

Procrastination FTW. After tomorrow's busy day, I WILL work on this. It will be epic. Maybe.

My friend just showed Perfect World's backstory to me two weeks after having read my short story for the competition. As you can see, the story I wrote is incredibly similar to the popular game's. I've never played Perfect World, so this is completely a surprise to me. It's just really depressing that I can never think of anything original. ):

Rage rant over.

perhaps silly question, but how does one go about getting the art from the cards for this? thanks

Same way you get your avatar. Otherwise, crop it out of an existing card. Or use your own.

Just looking through cards and votes, I noticed one trend. Catchy cards with rather extreme effects tend to gather more votes at this level (but, I don't know how far they'd go in the end because cards like that wouldn't be desirable for the actual in-game use).

It's Entropy. Of course it's extreme. Just look at Pandemonium, Antimatter, Dissipation Shield, Discord, Fallen Druid, and, well... any Entropy card. And I'm sure everyone votes based on the card they'd like to use in-game, and hopefully take into consideration that it will also be used against them. OP, UP, everything.

True. I fail to see the purpose of these dual-elemental cards, though. It defeats the purpose of elemental specialties, which is one of the unique features of Elements as well as one of the few reasons I play.
