[s]I've been interested in the concept of "Boss" monsters lately, and what makes them ok or not. anyway here is the deal-eo[/s]

[Spoiler=Rules]
1.Donate 25 points to enter.
2.1 round only
3. Entry Fee will be due by the 10th, Then Cards will be due by the 17th
4. Only 6 contestants MAX (If I get all 6 contestants before the 10th, then the contest will start early, and Entry times will be changed accordingly)
5. Lateness of any kind will not be tolerated, and will result in immediate disqualification.
7. Looking for an extra Judge (1 to be exact, use your own 100-point based criteria)
[/Spoiler]

[Spoiler=Prizes]
1. 100 Points +5Rep
2. 75 Points +3 Rep
3. 50 Points +1 Rep
[/Spoiler]

[Spoiler=Requirements]
Chess Archfiends- [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Archfiend"]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Archfiend[/url]
[s]Kuribohs- [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Kuriboh_(series"]http://yugioh.wikia....Kuriboh_(series[/url])
Princesses- [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Princesses"]http://yugioh.wikia....wiki/Princesses[/url][/s]
[s]Guardians- [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian"]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian[/url][/s]
Moth- [url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Moth"]http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Moth[/url]
[s]Type Three LV Monsters- [color=#0000cd][url="http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/LV_Monster"]http://yugioh.wikia...._Monster</span>[/url][/color][/s]



[color=#0000cd][color=#0000ff][u]TASK: [/u][/color]
[color=#0000ff]I will let you pick any one of the above archetypes, and create 2 monsters minimum to support that archetype (3 MAX). NO two contestants can choose the same archetype; so it’s first come, first serve. When you decide on an archetype, post your choice in this topic to confirm that no one else has it.[/color]

[color=#800080][u]REQUIREMENTS:[/u][/color]
[color=#800080]The 2 monsters minimum (3 MAX if you want to) must be strong enough to make those decks playable with the cards currently in that archetype (or any support cards to go with it) WITHOUT being broken OR overpowered AND the cards must cover the weaknesses of the archetype (which is what i'm mainly looking for). other than what is stated above, complete creativity is up to you. So please WOW me.[/color]

[/Spoiler]

[Spoiler=Contestents]
[s]1.[url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/141114-kotomi-ichinose/"]Kotomi Ichinose[/url] (Princesses)[/s]
2.[url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/517296-xi-3/"]Xi-3[/url] (Type Three LV Monsters)[size=5] [b][size=4](3RD!)[/size][/b][/size]
3.[url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/472406-e%c9%b3%c9%a2u%c7%90%c9%b3/"]Ęɳɢuǐɳ[/url] (Kuribohs) [b][size=6](1ST!!!)[/size][/b]
4.[url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/100775-sorin-markov/"]Sorin Markov[/url] (Guardians) [b][size=5](2ND!!)[/size][/b]
5.
6.
[/Spoiler]

[Spoiler=Judging Criteria]

Balance: ??/25
Creativity: ??/25
OCG: ??/25
Does it fit the Archetype: ??/10
Does it WOW me: ??/15
I will average the HIGHEST scores of 2 cards you make, and decide the winner from that.
If a tie happens, I will let the contestants that tied choose between the following options

1). Have 1 more round, and then decide the winner from that.
2). Split the reward of the tied place between the contestants that tied.

[color=#ff0000]You may start when you post your archetype. [/color][color=#4b0082]Do NOT Choose and archetype chosen by someone else.[/color]

[color=#4b0082]NOTE: I realize each archetype has different weaknesses and will thus require different card designs. That is, however, part of your challenge as card creators. So choose an archetype that contributes to your strentgths, or weaknesses (if you want to challenge yourself).[/color]
[/spoiler]


I will reserve, but it IS[color=#000080] [/color][color=#0000ff]first come first serve.[/color] If there are 6 contestents, and someone wants your spot, to bad.[/color]

I'm still a rookie and need help determining proper balance, as you can tell by looking at my sets below. If I was to join I would use the Leveling archetype because that's what many of my cards already are. I'm curious: do the support cards have to be monsters or can they be spells/traps as well? I ask because I created two support spell cards specifically for leveling monsters.

i'm sorry, but the support MUST be monsters :/ I'm presenting you with a very difficult challenge, because each archetype have different problems, and monster support may not be what is needed. HOWEVER this is where being a good card maker comes into play, because you will have to really think outside the box on this one. This will require more than "proper balance". I'm looking to see how people will be able to solve old-school card problems using new-school tactics. If you don't think your up for it, then this contestant isn't for you (though I strongly encourage you to do so, because I need the contestants -_- )

If you need to increase the body count, I can stick around. I have to warn you, though, that there's only one individual of whom I think when I hear the phrase 'boss character' these days. I doubt it'll take you long to guess who. Heh.

Now you have three contestants!

I'll take the Princess archetype, please!

Also, I must warn you. My card making skills are, er, decent. You can tell from my current project, which can be found by a link on my profile. And my OCG is that of a two year old. I tend to dig out my old Yu-Gi-Oh! cards to help me, and it works. Just warning you in case my cards turn out completely terrible.

Alright , now things are starting to roll :D

Just a remainder, I extended the time i will accept contestants until the 10th, In hopes of getting more, so we will start that day. [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/472406-e%c9%b3%c9%a2u%c7%90%c9%b3/"]Ęɳɢuǐɳ[/url] and [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/user/517296-xi-3/"]Xi-3[/url], I still need points :/ I can't offically put you guys as contestants until i get them (well I will, but getting them sure would be nice xD)

btw; I don't care if you guys change an archetype to another one more suitable to your skills, as long as you do so [b]BEFORE [/b]the contest starts (and it's not already taken).

Hmm I would honestly prefer if you can learn the new OCG and try to implement that, however if you can't then try to make sure the old OCG is as perfect as possible. Regardles, I will have to take off at least 5 points for using old OCG, then 5 points per error i find (that goes for everybody). sorry.

I know current OCG too, but I'm used to using the old OCG. I'll start researching the newer OCG. I'm honestly not as bad as I make myself out to be.

To answer the question, first I have to know whether you are familiar with the series from which I got my avatar.

Aye, and she's ready to be sent anytime. I had to do some fiddling with the versions I already had. Hopefully, this'll help me learn a bit more about that pesky OCG, right?

Hmm. Still need 3 more contestants, huh? It's a shame the guys at the YCM Contest don't seem interested, because there were about nine of them last I checked.

OK I'll definitely be taking Kuribohs and I'll send the points now. It's so hard to get people to join contests...this one is such a good concept too.

Oh wait! YCM is trolling me and won't let me donate points! Oh joy!
Do you get 5 points per rep? If so I'll rep you 5 times instead if you want. I honestly have no clue why this is happening.

Yea YCM was experiencing problems yesterday -_- anyhow upon logging on, I was met with 3 notifications of you sending me points O.O so you actually donated 75 total! and I owe you 50 :D

I really hope I can get at least one more member but hey, if i can't i'll be ok with what I have. Anyway This contest will officially start tomorrow when I post again, and entry will be closed

EDIT: Thanks for the compliment! I like contest to not only be fun and interesting, but challenging as well ^_^

And the sentence twice. The sentence twice!
Sorry, can't help going a little 'Jacob Two-Two' when that happens.

Sorin, I've heard about that thing in your signature before, where you can read words where the letters are scrambled. It takes awhile to recognize the words, but otherwise yes, you can read them.
