Sora1499 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here's the dealio: I disconnected from most of the yugioh universe right before Xyz monsters were thrown into the mix, so I'm not entirely sure about their potential, how to balance them, and just how powerful a given Xyz card should be. This probably means that the Xyz cards I create will end up being OP'd, and that...that is terrible. My solution: a contest to see who can create the best Xyz monster! Entry Fee: *10 points Rules: *Must be an Xyz monster. *You can submit up to 3 cards, but if you do, they must be of different ranks. If you post 3 cards, then one of them must utilize Chaos Xyz Evolution. Each card will be judged separately. *You cannot submit written cards, and if you do, they will not be judged. There's a pretty good site that makes Xyz called yugico.com. To post them, go to photobucket, upload them, then copy the URL that has the tags attached to it. *These cards will be judged on September 23rd. *I will be appointing 1 judge to judge these cards for me. Judges get 1/3 of the points earned via this contest as well as 3 likes from me. *If you are judging these cards, PM me and I will make the announcement of who wins. *I reserve the right to make new rules. *I reserve the right to enter into this contest. Prize: 1st Place: 1/2 of the points earned via this contest and 3 likes. 2nd Place: 2 likes. 3rd Place: 1 like. These cards will be graded on: OCG: -/10 Creativity: -/10 Usability: -/10 Balanced: -/20 Let the contest begin! Edit: Since we only have 4 contestants, I think I'm gonna up the prize. 1st place gets 1/2 of the points and 3 likes. 2nd place gets 2 likes. 3rd place gets 1 like. Judges get 1/3 of the points and 3 likes. Edit 2: I'm adding an OCG section to the criteria, but cards will be judged on how coherent the OCG is, not necessarily how well it conforms with the current OCG.

宇佐見 蓮子@C94 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 >Who's an Xyz Pro? Me. *shot* *stabbed* *hammer'd* * obliterated* *sent to hell* I'm probably gonna join. I mean, I have a whole set of 30 Xyz cards from my Xyz Daily series with a vastly wide range of effects, so I might give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomflyingobjects Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 So... quick question... why is there both Creativity AND Originality? Aren't those the same, and can we replace one of them with a Correct Grammer section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I don't really care for the current OCG. Although, you are right about creativity/originality... I'll drop originality and add a card grammar section. However, I'd like card grammar to be judged on how coherent it is, not necessarily on how well it conforms with the current OCG.

DrunkenSage69 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 When will the judging start? And also, is it preferred to have 3 Xyz cards for this conrest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomflyingobjects Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've judged the first card and will PM all my results to Sora, sometime tomarrow. According to the rules, they need to be judged by the 23rd, but I decided to take it a step ahead. As for 3 cards, I honestly don't know or care.

Sora1499 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Officially, the cards will be judged tomorrow. But you can post cards now if you'd like. If you post multiple cards, then you've improved your chances of victory by a pretty good amount, so yeah. The more the merrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sora1499 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Judging begins tomorrow. If you haven't already done so, you should probably submit your cards about now. Best of luck to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
