As a judge, I have a few questions. First off, is there any certain way we well, judge? Or do we all just judge the way we would normally give reviews to cards? Second, seeing this is a 1vs1 kind of contest going on, will there be any certain themes contestants will have to do, or is it just going to be a random card vs a random card? If there will be themes, are me and FTW allowed to help think of some? Third, do the judges get payed? xD That is all for questions for now.

@Anbu:

- I think we should use the same rating system, I know your's is pretty decent, so we can go with that if you'd like.

- Yes, we will make themes throughout the competition.

- Yes you can both help chose them.

- Yes, you will both recieve a decent amount once the contest is over ^^

I got a simple rating system, somewhat similar to mine.

[color=blue][b]Participant Name Here[/b][/color]
[b]OCG / Common Sense:[/b] ?/2
[b]Effect / Usefulness:[/b] ?/4
[b]Originality / Balance[/b] ?/4
[b]Overall:[/b] ?/10

OCG and Common Sense are well, what they. OCG Errors should be a -.1 for each one, and Common Sense is if the card does not fit the theme, and has things that just don't go together, such as if the monster is a Fish-Type FIRE Attributed monster that does not fit the theme in any way whatsoever, along with a name such as "Big Man". Effect and Usefulness is how well the card's effect can be used in the current Meta / TCG. Finally, Originality and Balance is how original the card is, how balanced it is, along with how well it fits the theme. That last part about how well it fits the theme though could be for any of the 3 things it is being rated on.

Couldnt FIRE fish work if it was a fish in a ocean of fire/volcano? I think the image would affect the type

 

what is meta?

Anyway, meta is short for metagame. It means how well could this card do in a professional deck.

 

the card with 'irony', I use that card in the YGO games which is why I asked that question

 

and OK, I'm gonna have problem with meta XP

 

BTW.. if you guys wanna check out a recent card i made look under realistic cards and look for:

Bog Haunt (Bogu Haunto)

If you don't know much about the Meta, just think of the card and it would have any uses, such as, do you think lots of people would use it? Do you think the card is splashable (usable) in a lot of Decks? Along with that, do you think the card has enough balance to stay off the Ban List, but is still a good card?

@Hito: Accepted & Repped.

 

@FTW: If you'd like to compete, that'd be fine. I've got another who was interested in judging. But it's your choice ^^

 

I'm just notifying everyone that this contest will work with either 8, 12 or 16 contestants. 16 is the goal and will make the contest alot more fun. So tell your friends^^
