Birthday War!

Birthday War! - Rules
Original idea by: RootRanger   |   Developed by: Spiraler   |   Art by: google images   |   Organized by: *****


Players battle to keep birthday candles on their cake. Players can use candles to upgrade cards. Last one with candles on their cake is the winner.

1. HOW TO SIGN UP?
Anyone with a forum and a chat account can sign up for this event. Start by reading the rules very carefully. Then sign up by posting on a separate sign up topic. If you cannot find a sign up topic, or if it is locked, this event is not currently active, and you will have to wait for it to restart.

Maximum amount of participants for this event is 20. If the event is full, you can still sign up as a reserve player, and will get a chance to join the event if any of the 20 players doesn't show up during round 1.

2. GETTING READY
Build a deck of any size (from 30 to 60 cards).
- You may use any non-upgraded cards in the game.
- You may also use 6 upgraded cards for each candle you spend.
- Number of candles does NOT affect deckbuilding.
- players start out with 20 candles.

3. BRACKETS
This event is a last man standing event. Matchups are randomly decided.

4. DUELS
Players have 4 days to make the fight happen. They must contact their opponent using a PM, and try to find a time that suits both. If the fight doesn't happen, both players lose by default, unless one player is clearly more active in trying to find a suitable time. Event organizer will determine who the most active player was, and his or her word is final.

Matches are best-of-five. The first player who wins 3 individual duels, wins the match.

You are allowed to change your deck (and mark) in between rounds.

It's a good idea to either record the matches, or take screenshots as proof, in case something weird, like a desync error, happens. Remember, a player who gets caught cheating, will be permanently banned from all Elements community PvP events, so please play fair.

5. AFTER DUELS
Winner should reply in the "Battle Results" section, along with the score and a short description of how the match went. The loser loses the difference between the scores in candles. Ex. if the score is 3-1, the loser loses 2 candles. If the score is 3-0, the winner gains one extra candle. If at any time someone's candle count is 0, they are eliminated. Here is an example battle results reply:
Spiraler: 3. Candles spent: 4. Current candle count: 16.
majofa: 1. *Candles spent: 1. Candles lost: 2. *Current candle count: 17.

* info will be received from opponent.
6. WINNER
The last man standing is the winner of the event.

7. REWARDS
The winner of the event will receive the following award icon (or something else)

So what if we refuse to upgrade? We don't lose cards, and therefore don't get eliminated?

You weren't too clear on the process of elimination.

[Rutarete]

looks fun. But a tie in amount of candles seems too easy to get.
And, just checking, is it in a tournament pyramid style?

As currently written, this event would never end as long as players never spend candles for upgrades.  I think you need to expand on this idea more.

And everyone should sing happy birthday to the winner on chat.

Yeah, forgot all you pointed out, but this is a work in progress. It was based on my birthday tomorrow.
