Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Those of you who watch 'Top Gear' will be familiar with the cheap car challenges, which sees the interpid trio buy three used bangers with dodgy steering and faulty engines for a limited budget, and find out who got the best deal by facing off in a series of challenges, testing their reliability, ride comfort, speed, etc. Well, I've had an idea. Why don't we do the same thing, but with old, unfashionable, thrown to the scrap Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and give them some support. I mean why not? How hard can it be? [spoiler=Basic Rules]- No flaming, no spamming, no moaning, no petting, no dive-bombing, etc...- Judges word is final.- Don't give me an excuse to press the red button! [spoiler=Getting Started]- You have a budget of precisely $0.25 to buy one card from the below website. (You don't literally have to buy it, just metaphorically. I guess you can if you really want to.)http://www.trollandtoad.com/Yu-Gi-Oh%21-%28Yugioh%21%29-Cards/4736p1n10.html- The card must be a monster, but can be any type thereof (Normal/Effect/Fusion/Ritual or Synchro).- To enter, please post an image of the card (you'll have to get this from google), how much you spent, what edition/pack it is, and a link to the page proving this.- Entry fee is 25 points.- Due to previous experience with no-shows, only Lv2 or higher members can enter this challenge. [spoiler=The Challenge]- This contest will start when we have 10-11 entrants. It will be five rounds, with the two lowest scorers eliminated each round.- I will issue a requirement to make a card that is to work in some way with your cheap card that you 'purchased'.- The requirements will give you a specific achievement to meet, but are quite flexible, so creativity is encouraged.- Post your card before the given deadline. There will be no tolerance for lateness, thus the judges will also meet their deadlines.- The lowest scorers will be eliminated, and the next requirement given.- Scores are accumulated, so one bad round will see you playing catchup! [spoiler=Judges]- There will be three judges scoring each round. We will be keeping to deadlines similar to the contestants. If a judge is late for a round, their score is void for that round.- Level 4 and higher members can apply to me to judge. Just message me, comment on my wall, something a bit more noticable than just posting here please.- Judging will be done on creativity, practicality, OCG, balance, you know, the usual. Different judges may have their own systems that I'm not responsible for.Judge 1 - Bahamut 'Jeremy Clarkson' ZeroJudge 2 - ???Judge 3 - ??? [spoiler=Prize]- 1st Place wins 3 reps and 150pts- 2nd Place wins 1 rep and 100pts- 3rd Place wins 50pts- 4th Place wins... you want a prize for 4th?!? Are you ****ing joking, loser? [spoiler=Contestants]-Bassa (Magic Hole Golem)-Kowalski (Gaia Knight, Force of Earth)-Clair (Silver Fang)-Simdoggy (Man Eater Bug)-Dingo (Dark Elf)-Admiral Stalfos (Gundari)-Lexadin (Headless Knight)-CCDRodrigo (A/D Changer)-Spoon (Aqua Madoor)-Abe (Ancient Gear Cannon)- Good luck to all who enter! We have now started. Use the below spoiler for each requirement and subsequent scoring. [spoiler=Requirements and Results]R1 - Your car(d)s are old, battered, and have lost much of their early powerrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! They could really do with some new engines to get them up to speed.Make an Equip card for your monster. Scores after R1 (Scores are out of 25)1- Spoon (21)2= Clair (20)2= Kowalski (20)4- Lexadin (18)5- Dingo (17)6- Stalfos (13)7- Simdoggy (10)8- Rodrigo (5 - Card did not meet requirements)9- Abe (0 - No card entered) R2 - The trip will be long and hard, and your car(d)s must be reliable and able to endure the road ahead. So that you are not killed to death. This road is blocked by these three (looks into distance/pan camera to see… Nitro Warrior, Turbo Warrior, Road Warrior) It's your Main Phase 1. Make a card that ensures your monster (and your LP) will survive until opponents End Phase. Scores after R2 (Accumulated scores are out of 50)1= Spoon (39)1=Kowalski (39)3- Clair (38)4- Lexadin (36)5- Stalfos (24)6- Simdoggy (22)7- Dingo (17) R3 - Speed and Powerrrrrrrrr is all well and good, but not with out good handling and brakes. Here's the scene… You are attacking directly for game with your monster (your opponent has LP equal to it's ATK - 100), when: Magic Cylinder!Your field is empty apart from your monster, and if MC works, your LP hit zero. Win the duel. Scores after R3 (out of 75, full explaination in a latter post)1= Lexadin (56)1= Spoon (56)3- Clair (55)4- Stalfos (40)5- Kowalski (39) Final Round - Car(d)s need to be practical and of everyday use. Your monsters may have been surpassed, or rubbish to begin with.But no more shall that be the case.Make any card that needs your card to be activated, with any effect, that would make them see realistic play in some type of deck today.

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for entering. Looking to get 10 people for Monday. It's ambitious and I will probably fail.

C'mon enter peeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send the points when you're ready. Would join but dont have points to join :( Also not enough stars :( Sorry dude, I put the stars rule in due to my last contest, 1/3 of the field turned out to be no shows. Anyway this looks unlikely to be filled by monday, so we'll just wait until we get 10 entrants. Gives me more time to think of tasks anyway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 All accepted. While give out first requirement on Monday, you will then have until Friday night to get it in, then I (plus other judges if I can get some recruited by Monday) will get scoring done over weekend and I will announce results/post new requirement the next monday morning. Sound reasonable? Still looking for 2 judges and 1 more maximum entry, but we can start Monday without if there are no more takers. Ty all.
