Boss & CD | League of Shadows: Cards are thematic, balanced, and unique. Cards form a good stall. Check. And check. Well done by Hyro! Oh look! A Physsion swoops down and stares you in the eye. You will vote for this submission! You nod your head in agreement. This is not mind control! This is satisfaction. | The Chaosomes: Excellent cards. Very thematic-- you could clearly determine why each card had the effect it did, and a good stall to boot. You guys earned this vote. AB, you also had a very good submission, but the cards seemed a little off somehow-- just slightly off-polish. Still good, but not quite enough. For the rest, you all have good cards, but you don't relate them to your team members besides in the name/pictures. The connections are not immediately obvious. | Artist & DB | League of Shadows:Who doesn't want to see a sea of lightning face off against six brave, precognitive nymphs in a battle royale? Wait, we were supposed to provide art for this? Uhh... hey look! Their battle happened so fast that we couldn't take a picture of it! Yeah! Those nymphs sure were fast! And how do you expect me to record lightning after it happens, huh? Well. From the lack of evidence, I'm going to have to presume that the lightning spent itself in frying everything to nothingness. Yeah. That's what happened. | Abyss Brawlers: The art by everybody was amazing, so I used the decks as the deciders. Well done all! As for the decks: Fractal Elite Skeletons. Yes. YES. The pharoah deck is meh, but the skeles alone carry this one. TC and FHM were also close thirds, but TC's cool deck(flying swords with graboids) was a bit overquantaed, and while the NM Recluse Poison and the MitoHope were lovely, it seemed like the MitoHope should beat the Recluse Poison in the case that both get their combos up. Yes, I know that nightmare is great because of the draw denial and that would help boost the rush's chances, but with relatively equal orders, the mithope feels like it should stabilize it. | FE | League of Shadows:For this task, we knew we probably couldn't beat any of the existing in-game tutorials out there-- at best, we'd match them in parity. No need to re-invent the wheel, after all. We can't re-create the entirety of the community's in-game support! However, there exists no guide to the actual forums themselves! I think our submission provides a good template for what an introduction to the forums could entail. It's not quite polished, but I think it serves its purpose well enough. | The Chaosomes: I generally don't like it when guides explicitly tell you, "Do this, then that, then this so you can build this," without explaining the reasons behind those steps or encouraging them to go and explore why, but TC has a solid submission; it introduces the game, the elements, and the forums, and I could see it being helpful to newbs, thus filling all requirements for the task. ATNT's guide had the most potential, but it seems unfinished; a clear winner if it was, but sadly not. AB is funny, but a lot of it is insider forum jokes-- not actually meant for consumption by newbs. | Writer | League of Shadows: The goal here was to write an introductory crawl a la Star Wars to the game; in other words, create introductory lore for EtG! As this is to be played before the game loads, we looked at what tools and options were available to a new player (the Oracle), and who the hardest opponents were-- (FGs, Ai4, Arena) and then we put them together into a short narrative introducing each of the main AIs and giving a reason for the Oracle's help. Overall, I think our submission does well in providing a short backstory to the game. | Abyss Brawlers: Toss-up between TC and AB. Both are very good at introducing a workable theme and lore; AB's voiceover gives it a slight edge, and TC's length both helps and hurts it. This vote may change; mostly undecided atm, but definitely one of those two. ATNT is also a solid submision, but I feel like it goes too much into forum-knowledge and events for something to be put into the actual game. Even as one of the participants in said event | Bonus | League of Shadows:A lovely team drawing by Khaleesi! And some well-designed thematic team-cards! | Gaia's Pride: A very polished image! I don't know why, but the way those cards are arranged just speaks to me. Well done by GP. AB and TC, also very nice-- just not quite as pretty. | Super Bonus | League of Shadows: So... uh... GM battle Hype? Yeah, we may have stacked a little too much work on Khaleesi D: This is not the finished product. | Abyss Brawlers: Kryszie's still got it. Well done! TC also had a great submission. |
