Project: The 13th Element

[OldTrees]

in hindsight i think the choosing of the element phase could have been broken down into separate votes, as the single vote had many distinct variables being voted on-  1) theme 2) mechanics and 3) quanta type (mark, random, new).

This would be a good way to go next time.

Just a rough idea: (note: I am using to represent Mind quanta)

Wandering Mind / Wandering Identity
6 / 5 (I'm not sure about exactly what it should cost)
2/3 / 2/3
  (What should the ability name be?): Target creature attacks in the same manner as Wandering Mind/Identity this turn.

This basically makes the target creature attack like a Wandering Mind, and with the same result. A list of things influenced by this ability:
Miss/hit
Damage done
Attack number
(Possibly other things? I don't know)

Do you see anything here that we can use?

Also do you think we have enough card idea and it is time to chose versions and start balancing?

I think the card base shoould be around 13 cards (11-15), so we have plenty of material to form the new Element. I think we should start finalizing this.

hawanja is an artist who has let us use his work as we please, provided we give him credit/links etc, and i came across this, which may work for psionist or some other mind-creature http://freakmutantmonster.blogspot.com/2011/03/controllers.html

A poll to choose cards is up. It will run for 4 days. The top 9 options will be included with the Pillar, Pendulum, Shield, Alchemy, Nymph and Dragon.
Vote for either Revenge or Morale will count for whichever got more votes. Same applies to Forget type 1 and 2.

@moomoose. That is a good choice for psionist. (provided psionist survives the cut.)

How come my ideas were never added or discussed or commented on?

EDIT:

Creature: Psi Slayer
Cost: 5 psi
Passive ability: Mind clog: Attacks opponents quanta.


Permanent: Mind Shield:
Cost: 6 psi
Ability:Creatures with an attack higher than 9 are unable to reach you.

Creature: Hypnotic Wanderer
Cost: 4
Ability (repetitive use): costs 2 psi: Mental dissipation: Target creature gains dream state. 40% chance it attacks itself.


Creature: Dream Creator.
Cost: 5
ability (repetitive use): Sleep: costs 3: Creature gains sleep status: is delayed for 2 turns
If creature with sleep status is targeted by nightmare, 6 hp (max) is drained from creature.

I apologize. My mistake flayne. I missed those.
I will add them and restart the poll.

Ideas added and vote reset.
Unfortunately it now locks your votes so be careful about what you vote for.

Actually it's my fault, I had edited that post and you may have missed it, that was my response when you had asked me and moomoose to post ideas,  so sorry about that  ^^;

the slight issue i have with using a poll for this matter is that creatures such as spectre and projection are not interesting enough to vote for, but base creatures are essential for each element.

Air has only a Dragon.
The Dragon gets in already.
However we can have the votes for the vanillas count toward the higher of the two.
Should we?

I dont think vanillas need voting. all they need is balancing and to be included in the element.
I mean a vanilla just has atk and def thats it. 

[moomoose]

going along the lines of what flayne was saying, i think vanillas should be used to fill in the gaps in the creature costs, and then balance them based on the cost needed
