Post by: n00b on May 07, 2013, 01:42:43 am
It is only fitting that Death, represented in Elements by the color purple, is created from Fire and Water.

Breaking news! To celebrate the 4th birthday of Elements the Game, we are introducing a door prize in this tournament. There is no need to sign up, what you have to do is to join this tournament! We will be giving out a 2k electrum code to one lucky participant. If there are more than 32 participants, we will be giving out TWO 2k electrum codes!



Q&A:

pills/pends/marks count as in-element cards?
yes.

Q: Do I have to use those primary and secondary colors? Can I use Aether coz it iz coolz
A: I know Aether iz coolz but it is neither primary or secondary color so you CAN'T use it.

Glad to see I can make this time; I thought I'd miss it, as I have plans Saturday morning, but this is Friday night for me :)

Couple questions:

1) Ditto what Deuce asked
2) Can you use cards outside the six listed elements?  i.e. could I make this deck?
10x water pillar (primary)
10x death pillar (secondary)
10x life pillar (secondary)
15x light pillar
15x darkness pillar

Are other cards allowed?
Quote from: Rule
Each deck must contain exactly one element of a primary color and exactly two elements of secondary colors.
It doesn't say you can use Other, so no.

What marks are allowed?
No restriction on that is mentioned, which means you can assume all marks are allowed.

And just to clarify, can you use any other elements other than the primary and secondary colors?
Quote from: Rule

Yes, but you can only use a Grabbow with 4 graboids or Psiontal with no Psions. (Seriously?)

Is it okay if I make the secondary colour(a) the main part of the deck, and have the primary and the other secondary colour(b) being additions? (I mean, they are still parts of the deck, but the main focus is on the secondary colour(b))?

Hey guys,

This tourney looks like lots of fun I've just got a couple comments so far.

I found the responses to these two questions inconsistent with each other:

Q. Are other cards allowed?
A. The rules don't say you can use Other, so no.

Q. What marks are allowed?
A. The rules don't say, which means you can assume all marks are allowed.

While I agree with both ruling individually the logic behind the rules in contradictory, in the first case the rules neither forbid nor allow something and the default is forbidden, in the second the rules neither forbid nor allow something and the default is its allowed.

I think the question about using additional elements is a perfect example of the problem. I'm assuming from your responses to the repeated questions that the intention of this rule:
Quote from: Rule
Each deck must contain exactly one element of a primary color and exactly two elements of secondary colors.
Is that a deck may not include cards from elements not listed in the primary or secondary lists. Which means you're assuming that we should all know, "if a rule doesn't specifically permit it then its forbidden", the problem is the OP doesn't tell us we're supposed to make this assumption.

Hover over cards for details, click for permalink
Deck import code : [Select]
52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 52g 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 55k 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 5rg 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 7la 8pt

This deck contains exactly one element of a primary colour and exactly two elements of secondary colours, and at least 8 cards of each element. It would seem to me that it meets the rules as written.

I'm not asking that this be the ruling, only that rules be more consistent, and that when rules like this need to be clarified that they be added to the OP, having to search through a thread for all the rules makes it more likely that something will get missed.

Again, thank you guys as TO's for all your hard work, I certainly appreciate the time and effort you put in for my sake and the enjoyment of all the other tourney players out there.

Post by: Spielkind on May 07, 2013, 01:19:37 pm
each element at least 8 cards, jeni. so there are 2 lightpends left in your deck.
i guess and hope this is a trio tourney, so only that elements shown.
Title: Re: Weekly Tournament - May 11th - Elemental Painter - Upgraded
Post by: Vineroz on May 07, 2013, 01:40:37 pm
TO Announcement:

Rule clarification:
Quote from: Rule
Each deck must contain exactly one element of a primary color and exactly two elements of secondary colors ONLY.
So every deck should be a trio. No Other cards.

Also, rule update:
Quote from: Rule
Each deck must contain at least 6 cards of each element.
Number of Primary-color cards must be equal to the number of Secondary-color cards.
So half of the deck will be from the same element (primary). Deck size must be even number.



Sorry for the confusion caused.

Post by: Blaze on May 07, 2013, 02:02:22 pm
Actually you guys are talking about two different color systems. Our eyes only recognize red, green, and blue light waves. So when we see yellow we're actually seeing a certain amount of red green and blue. Which is why electronic screens are made up of pixels with red green and blue, when it needs yellow it just puts out the required amount of red green and blue. The primary colors that they are talking about are referring to paint. Red, blue and yellow cannot be mixed out of any other colors using paint. And every color can be mixed from them. I'm not positive what the secondary colors are but I'm assuming they are they colors that come out of mixing two of the colors. I hope this all made sense! :)

Hey, does that mean we will all get a "Slice of Elements' 4th Birthday cake"?

Not to be a pain in the tuckus, as I'm guessing it is this way for balancing purposes that I just haven't thought of, or some other such nonsense. And I realize that obviously this will not change. But wouldn't it make more sense for decks to consist of two primaries and one secondary? Like, the two primaries mix and create the secondary. So if I choose fire and time as my primaries, I should have to have gravity as my secondary.

Would make a lot more thematic sense to me.

Yeah, I've been playing this game off and on since the beginning and have yet to get a slice of cake. If I don't get one because I'm at werk and can't attend this tourney, I'm going to sadface so hard that my face creates it's own gravitational pull, collapsing the earth's crust underneath my feet and throwing us out of orbit and into the sun.  :'(

Don't be silly. You've always gotten cake from posting in the annual birthday thread, and there's not a single reason I can think of that we'd 1) move that arbitrarily to a tourney of all things or 2) limit the timeframe that much.

It looked interesting, but it was surprisingly hard to build decks for.  Mine were all close variants of the ones already posted, except that my nymph one used life pendulums because I was expecting a lot of bone walls, and I had a firestall as well.  I lost twice with my nymph deck against a pharaoh/bone wall deck, the first game because I got no NT/queen, and the second because my opponent got eternity and I got I think 5 NT/queen in the first hand :)

It would've been easier to build decks for if any of the elements had had useful splash zero cost cards, but the only ones were ones that basically required that element, as well (soulcatcher, immolation) or an element not used by anything else (sundial) and of those, only souclatcher was in the secondary elements, making that trick basically impossible.  My pharaoh decks had 6 gravity pends and no other gravity cards, as one way to get around the restriction, and my nymph deck had an arsenic and a heal, plus pends and NT/queen to get around it.  The poison/physalia/congeal/heal deck I made but didn't get to use kind of got around it, by simply not needing very much quanta at all to run; those were probably the best decks I had this time around.

This was everything I built, but like usual, I would've likely only used the best 4 or 5; I like to build more, even if I'd never use it, just to get an idea of what kind of decks are possible and hence what I might face from my opponents.

I used the following decks, plus another NT which doesn't deserve to be mentioned (not like anyone cares about my decks :P):

The only deck I had made was also a  :life :death :water deck, which seems to have been the most common trio used. Did anyone do any neurotoxin builds at all? I'd be kind of surprised if not.

I didn't try it, but I often have very bad luck when relying on two card combos :p  I'll get all dunes and no momentums, or vice versa.  It might've been possible to do a dune scorp/momentum/heal or dune scorp/momentum/poison deck, but having water in roughly 1/3 of all decks with purify might've scared people off of it.  I built a death/water/life poison deck, and I was worried it might run into purify which would've been a loss.

That's exactly the reason why I didn't do neuro decks :) I'm just wondering if that fear of purify ruled the meta, rather than neuro might have.

Mine was the best deck evah~ It's like an upped shrieker rush:
Life Pends, Death Pends, Water Pends/Towers and NT.

That's about it.

Also had another deck which won some nice games (All of them because I rarely used it :P)
