FAQ

Q: What are the opposing elements?
A: They're visible when you start a new game. Also in the Trainer: http://elementsthegame.com/trainer
They are: [Earth & Air], [Fire & Water], [Light & Darkness], [Entropy & Gravity], [Time & Aether] and [Life & Death].
So if you want to make a deck with Aether cards, you have to include at least 12 Time cards in it and vice versa. No other elements can mix except the opposites and decks may only be duos.

Post by: ARTHANASIOS on September 06, 2012, 01:37:43 pm
A few questions:
1} Are Other cards allowed (Quantum Pillars, Short Bow etc.)?
2} Can we use a mark outside the opposing elements (like an :entropy/ :gravity deck with a :life mark)?

If something isn't stated otherwise, you can be sure it's allowed.

Your answer was simple but truly helpful. Thanks Higurashi! Time to design a few nasty decks (though I am not sure if I will join this tourny)! :P

IF you used "Other" Cards (Dagger, etc.) would you have to say 10 of them if you had 10 of each cards in a duo?
Title: Re: Weekly Tournament - September 8th - Opposing Forces - Unupgraded
Post by: Spielkind on September 06, 2012, 08:00:20 pm
"Other" cards are not allowed, as long it has no opposite...

"Decks may only contain cards from opposing elements."

Greetings Higurashi, I think cool the idea of opposites (also of banned dim), but how to know if our opponent is really using a minimum of 40%?, criterion of confidence?, I know that most are honest but someone may appear a opportunist , or even someone who did not understand the rules.

Exactly why I don't like % based rules.

People can indeed cheat without being noticed, which is why I would prefer a Penduolum (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,29774.0.html)-style tourney with opposing duos.

was exactly what I was going to suggest Root, use pendulums opposite the mark, so would force the player to actually mount an opposite, and eliminate the risk of fraud, but maybe Higurashi may change, who knows ... maybe

Are you sure building such a thing ? I am pretty sure it wont work.
Other than that,people are elit. If you are planning to win this getting the first 3,you need to think some.

Are card like steal, fate egg, & parallel U allowed?  They let you have cards not from your elements.
Also, Nova/immolation, for the non-opposing quanta?

hey same here! :P i 'm lvl63 but i've never played a tournament before,and i was like "hey,let's check if any tournament is on,i'd like to play."
and i was lucky enough to see the forum one day before it starts.and i tried 5-6 decks.but then i thought i should read the rules too lol
Oh jezuz! 30 posts??? till tomorrow?!!%$#% "   so,i'd like to ask if i could play tommorow and promise to be active for at least the next few weeks.

I asked this in the chat since oddly enough I haven't encountered it anywhere else, but these are the opposing elements (if you didn't know):

Light - Darkness
Life - Death
Earth - Fire
Fire - Water
Entropy - Gravity
Time - Aether

Since there was a need for me to ask this in the chat, perhaps this ought to be clarified in the tourny announcement. Most opposites are obvious, but entropy-gravity-time-aether might not be for some players.

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. This tourney seems really awesome, but idk if I can make the post count and then be up by 5:30am to play it. Probably just going to have to wait for the next one.

This post count thing is kind of a pain. I understand why you do it, but its just unfortunate that I've been reading so many pages without commenting on them. The start time looks painful too. Is that the same every week, or do you rotate who gets that punishment?
