[Finished]Halloween Special


Recommended Posts

Fairly simple contest here. To celebrate Halloween, the goal of this contest is to create three cards:

1 Effect monster
1 Spell card
1 Trap card

The Effect monster above [u]cannot[/u] be Fusion, or Synchro. Also, [i][b]no Xyzs[/b][/i] for this contest.

All three will be graded separately, and as a whole. The theme of the contest is simply something to suit the season of Halloween, something 'scary', whether anime, manga, music, movie, game, books, meme, whatever. When you enter, list whatever you'll be using, and that will be your theme for the contest.

The contest ends at 11:59pm October 31st, EST, with Halloween, and the entry fee is 10 points.

I'll be judging of course, though I have two slots for now, for other judges. As the inspiration for the contest with Hell's Highway, trevorw31 can join at no cost, or can be one of two extra judges for this contest.

[spoiler=Prizes]
1st Place: 40 points
2nd Place: 20 points
3rd Place: 10 points[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Grading]
Graphic 20/100 (High quality images will get higher points, meaning no text, websites, distortion, etc...)
OCG 5/100 (Marked low because I have trouble keeping up with OCG myself, and it isn't as central to the idea of the contest)
Theme 30/100 (Adhering to your theme, for example, if Slender Man has an effect related to Banishing I might give it more points than if his effect has to do with increasing ATK or DEF)
Usable 20/100 (Marked lower because I have to give this genre a bit of flexibility to keep them faithful, but you'll get scored higher for still being able to run it in the real world)
Synergy 25/100 (How well all of your cards support each other)[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Examples]
H. P. Lovecraft/Cthulu Mythos
Halloween/Michael Meyers
Nightmare On Elm Street/Freddy Kreuger
Slender
Trinity Blood (anime/manga)
Disturbed (music)

These are just suggestions, but use whatever you feel like.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Judges]
1. Heimdall The Watcher
2. Trevorw3i
3. Toyo-Tan[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Contestants]

2. Newhat

[spoiler=Bonus]
Since this is Halloween, I also have a trick [i]and[/i] a treat. Completing this project instead of the original 3 cards will result in a considerable boost to judging, for sheer effort if nothing else, though it doesn't guarantee a win, keep in mind. The project is to create the following cards, in the theme you picked:

3 Effect monsters
1 Fusion monster
1 Synchro monster
2 Spell cards
1 Equip Spell card
1 Field Spell card
2 Trap cards
1 Counter Trap card
1 Continuous Trap card

You must create all of the above. The Fusion and Sychro monsters are 1 each, and you can create only 1 of each, same for the Equip/Field Spell, and Counter/Continuous Trap cards. The Effect monsters can be anything else - such as Gemini, Spirit, even Toon - as long as they're Effect monsters, and the Spell/Trap cards can be of any kind (submitting 1 Equip Spell and 3 Field Spells would be permitted, for example). And yes, the total is 13, appropriate for Halloween I thought.

Keep in mind that this DOES NOT guarantee you'll win, one of the original 3 card sets might still win if they're well done.[/spoiler]

And with that, Happy Halloween!

So can I both use original and pop culture?
Also, do the 3 cards in the first contest thing count towards the second contest also, or do I need to make new cards?
[/quote]

Pop culture only I believe. I'm assuming you mean to ask whether you can use cards that aren't based on anything pre-existing, right?
And yes, you can basically ignore the first one if you want, that one is just a minimum. If you're going for the 13 cards, then yes, those 3 count towards the 13.

If you need a judge, then count me in. Or do I need to send in points?
[/quote]
No need to send points for judging, and accepted, thanks!

[quote name='Archbaron Thor the Just' timestamp='1351176864' post='6053575']
By effect monster, can it be Extra Deck monsters?
[/quote]

No, sorry, I need to go back and clarify; no Xyzs for this contest, and the Effect monsters are not from the Extra Deck, only the specific Fusion and Synchro monsters mentioned in the 13.

Okay, here's my cards, I might make more if I feel like it:

If you're confused by where the are from, it's Amnesia the Dark Descent, Silent Hill & Dead Space respectively. If you're having a hard time reading the pictures, just click on them, it will take you to Yugico where you can read them in the Card Text section :)

@DeathSDelano: Yes, any type of Spell card can be used.

@Zaziuma: I originally intended for people to use only a single theme, but I suppose I'll open it up...that's what I get for typing these things up at midnight I suppose. At least now I have a little more experience with this.

@AixDavis: I believe the answer to that is no. Would you mind sending me one card as an example in a PM, to make sure I understand? This is intended as pop culture only, nothing to do with real life, or real life images.

@ AixDivadis, Newhat: Accepted, I'll add the contestants later today.

@trevorw3i: Awesome, thanks, I'll add you as a judge when I get back from work.

@DeathSDelano: I thought I said pop culture, but I'll accept these, since this is my first contest, and I might not have been clear on that. Also, you have a duplicate spell instead of a trap, need to edit that.

@Zaziuma: Points received,,though it looks as if you sent 10 points three times? I'll check my points tomorrow on the computer and refund any after the contest.

@DeathSDelano: Points received, and yes, thank you, I'll keep that in mind for future contests.

@AixDivadis: Yes, I understand that particular idea is difficult, but the cards look good, and I'll submit my personal scoring, along with those of my other two judges, tomorrow evening.

@Everyone: Happy Halloween!

  • 4 weeks later...

Alright, sorry for the huge delay...started a new job, and been waiting for my fellow judges. Plus I was a little distracted and admittedly a little demoralized, by the lack of functioning card maker here. Anyways, I'll finally post scoring this weekend and distribute points. Again, I apologize for this delay, time just flew by for me.
