RULES

[Essence]

I don't know if it matters as much in this setting, but your Dark Side has all of the permanent control in the game, while the Light Side has none -- it might make the Dark Side much more popular, as the Light Side has a strong innate disadvantage in every game (in that the Dark Side can always trust its permanents to stick around, so from the get-go, they can plan morph paths around that security.)

[EvaRia]

Keep in mind the sides are mark only. Unlike war, your actual cards can consist of anything.
If need be, you can take a dead mark, although I doubt anyone will do that.

[The_Mormegil]

Seems really intresting. Will wait for this one.

[EvaRia]

To-do list before event can start:

- Childboards for Battle Results. I'm not entirely sure how to do this, possibly SG is the only one who can make them.
- Champion's battle rules. Possibly just wing it, it will work differently depending on how many people tie in finishing all their marks.
- Permission to start. I don't know who can give this permission to me, but I feel I should wait for this until I get going.

If anyone has any idea on how to get these 3 things going, I will be very grateful.

[Onizuka]

Do you actually need a childboard?
For example, in Glitch's event, he just makes a thread saying Round one Battle results, and they post it.

Similarly in The Draft event.

[EvaRia]

The battle results are slightly too complicated to fit them all in one thread IMO.

With both the losers and winners needing to post their decks, it may be too much.

I could be wrong though.

EDIT: On second though, I think a thread is fine.

All that`s left is the question...

Is it okay to just start? Do I need to wait for anything? If either SG or a PvP Organizer is okay with it, I'll just open up the sign ups threads.

You will have to wait a little. Because we already have 3 events going, but you are on the list of upcoming events

[MyNameIsJoey]

I would like to know, when you complete a mark with a certain deck, do you have to use this same deck for the game after?

[Indrejue]

yes that is exactly what the rules state the last deck you use in the round becomes your starting deck of the next round win or loss.  only difference is if you win you get to change the mark

[EvaRia]

I think the Rules might be a tiny bit confusing there.

It's hard to explain simply I guess.

The moment when you win the round is right before you create your "Final" deck and change your mark.

You do not have to play with the final deck in order to win this round.

Posting the final deck is merely a verification that you have won, you do not play with it until the start of next round.

If you won, then you use your final deck in the next round, which you have not used yet.
If you lost, then you will use the same deck that you ended the last round with.

I WILL post the decks in the match-ups, so it will be less work to keep track of everything.



The first round of this event will be the most confusing, but once everyone gets a hang of the rules it should be okay.

I'll stick around in chat for sure to answer questions.

a big no-no: having difficulty explaining how the event works

as the event creator, everything seems to work perfectly in your own head but bear in mind we're NOT linked by some psychic network or whathaveyous

oh, i get the gist of it....in this event, you started with a deck (and a mark) and by the end of a round, your deck will be completely different and by the end of the event, you will have completed a set of marks (based on your alignment)
unfortunately, as easy as understanding the big picture here....everything in between is quite the opposite
every single step require attention to details and that can lead to error, confusion, frustration, negativity etc
and that is not what we aim to achieve here

i will reiterate; the idea is interesting and fun but unless you can make the process flow go smoother, this is not going to go off

Build a deck of any size (from 30 to 60 cards) using exactly 6 different cards.
- Pillars count towards this total.

please clarify this section^ in relation to this sectionV

- When you win a game, you must swap out 2 groups of cards in your deck for the same amount of a different card. For example, you have 4 lightnings and 3 boneyards in your deck, which you swap out for 4 fireflies and 3 rustlers.

so pillars/pendulum count towards the (total) deck size...but not the 'different cards' or is it?
does swapping out 2 different groups involves pillar/pend or would you swap pillar/pend separately?

your battle result example isnt clear enough....not when all you got is pillar/pend
provide actual event-legal decks and show us what you meant for real (with the step-by-step game-by-game switcheroo and whatnot)

hows this? take note at yellow colored comments

Game 1 : WIN

Code: [Select]

4vi 4vi 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vj 4vl 4vl 4vl 4vl 4vn 4vn 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 55v 55v 55v 55v 5oi 5oi 5oi 5oiswap : -4 flying -4 nova, +4 charger +4 c.dragon

Game 2 : WIN

Code: [Select]

4vi 4vi 4vl 4vl 4vl 4vl 4vn 4vn 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 50u 55l 55l 55l 55l 55o 55o 55o 55o 55v 55v 55v 55vswap : -4 discord -2 antimatter, +4 accel +2 pulvy
(-8 entropy pends, +5 earth pend +3 gravity pillar <== IS THIS LEGIT?)

say i want to increase the deck size (by 1) due to winning, it says i can choose to increase/decrease the size of a group by 1 card, does this mean i will have to stay with 10 pillar/pend all through out the match while increasing other group of cards? because if not, that means pillar/pend is also its own group and by definition, it has to be among the 6 different cards type during the initial deckbuilding process which means unless you're going mono and playing with just pillar (OR pendulum), you have limited yourself to just another 5 different card groups (or 4 if you use 1 group of pillar and 1 group of pendulum, less if you decide to go with a combination of differing pillar/pend)

new deck for Game 3 :

Code: [Select]

4vi 4vi 50u 50u 55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55o 55o 55o 55o 55v 55v 55v 55v 562 562 562 562 58v 58v 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa(^just showing how the deck will look like for Game 3 after all the swapping shenanigans)

now, looking at just that Game 2 swap...how can you not be confused?

let say everything is fine and dandy, you've decided not to mess around with all that increasing/decreasing deck size shenanigans, keeping it at 30 and you won Game 3 with that big pile of mess that you call a deck
time for another swap
swap : -2 mutation -4 BH, +4 iridium warden +2 momentum (-2 entropy pend, +2 earth pend <== going by the argument that pillar/pend isnt among the 6 different cards grouping)

YOU'VE WON!
Final Deck (or rather starting deck for next round, please replace the term 'Final Deck' in your battle result example as not to cause anymore confusion) :

Code: [Select]

55k 55k 55l 55l 55l 55l 55o 55o 55o 55o 55q 55q 562 562 562 562 58v 58v 596 596 596 596 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa 5aa(good luck trying to win with this mark...my bad, i didnt think of actually trying to morph into time element...just assume i was going for something legit and an actual mark just to keep my face value tyvm)

[FeelNFine]

I think the big confusion is not all of the rules are listed on this thread, and they aren't listed in a very logical order.

Let me try to simplify the rules: 

-Each round of a series of matches, the first round requires you to take a mark and make a deck with 6 unique card cells. 
-A card cell is a group of identical cards, for example 4 phoenixes is a size 4 Phoenix cell.
-The marks you can chose from depends on your team:  for good, and  for evil. YOU CAN USE CARDS FROM EITHER ALIGNMENT
-Each time you win a match you can morph 2 cells. For example, you can morph your size 4 Phoenix cell into a size 4 Flesh Spider cell.
-You may also choose to grow or shrink 1 cell
-save the codes of each deck you use
-The round ends when 1 person's morph phase gives them a deck with 6 cells morphed (If you morph 2 different cells each time you win the round on your 3rd victory), There shouldn't be a single card in the END deck that was in the start deck.
-After the round is over all of the used decks are posted along with each END deck.  (The END deck is the deck you at the start of the next round)
-If you won the round, add the mark you used to your completed marks; ***your END deck is the deck you just formed plus you choose a new incomplete mark from your alignment***
-If you lost the round, your END deck is the deck you used in the last match.  Your mark stays the same. ***Morphing progress is reset, you will need to morph all 6 cells in the next round***
