Therrion Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Since picture is a rated catagory, writtens are in fact not allowed? You said the average rating of your cards is your final score, so what incentive do we have other than making the minimum amount very good (since you said "probably should have more than min")? How will the Normal Monster required of us be rated, since there is no way a Normal Monster can reach 35 points while OCG/Effect are both major catagories in the rating?

I will fix it up. Also with the more then the min amount it means you have more cards so if you mess up with one it wont make as big of a difference on your score if you have more. If some one else asks me to change that part of the scoring though i will. Thanks for bringing that up! And you can enter written cards, you just wont get points for a pic ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthakin Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I find picture a rather stupid Checkpoint. The best cards of the world have lame pictures imo (I find the newer BEWD very lame, and Neo Galaxy is a .. dull one, as are most XYZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therrion Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 So, Pop Culture Cards are acceptable, and written card makers are at a 3 point disadvantage. I guess that is acceptable. I'll be joining this for fun then, points sent :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin7653 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Alright, thanks! Just FYI guys I am adding a new rule to encourage new cards! You now get a point for EVERY TWO cards you enter! Max limit is now 30 cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therrion Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I disagree with that rule, that makes it so the more you make, the better your score is. This makes it infavorable to people without buckets of time. Also, MLP doesn't reach the minimum requirements, to be rash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wightpower Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Alright, I've got an idea in my noggin, so I think I might join this (though, I've never done a contest before). Also never donated points before, so I hope they transacted alright. I also agree with Therrion about the more points for more cards rule. I'm not planning to make more than the minimum requirements, and I don't want to overload you with a bunch of cards to judge just so I can get more points. I feel like the best archetypes are the ones that accomplish the most with the fewest cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin7653 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah you guys are right. I thought it was a good idea but thanks for pointing that out. I now recall that rule :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wightpower Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 I feel bad for asking this, but I was wondering if you could push the deadline back a few more days. Maybe to the 10th? I've finished drawing all of the monsters for my archetype, but I don't think I can finish the spell and trap images in time for Thursday. Normally, I wouldn't be a dick like this, but I haven't noticed anyone else signing up for the contest or submitting their cards, so a few more days might be good to get more entrants? Hopefully this contest doesn't get cancelled or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeRainbowDash Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 thats all i needed ritght? were the continuous trap card and another random trap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wightpower Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm still not sure what you're going to do with the contest, since I haven't seen any updates in a while. I figured I'd at least show you what I made in case it was still going on. I worked hard on the monster card images, but I wasn't able to finish the spells or traps, so those are all imageless written cards. The archetype I came up with are the Mimichrome monsters, a group of WIND Psychic-type monsters with a mime theme. All Mimichrome monsters have DEF higher than their ATK, and their effect focus on switching their stats, and/or those of the opponent's monster to get an edge on the battlefield. There are 2 Normal monsters, 2 Gemini monsters (the Gemini monsters are also Tuners), 1 Effect monster, and 2 Synchro monsters. All Mimichrome monsters are black and white, except for their eyes (or other facial features I felt like coloring in) and the image backgrounds. I also added some fun bits into their images: From the first monster (Wallflower) to the last Monster (Sadsack), they become progressively less humanoid and more monstrous and otherworldly. They also transit from purple background (Wallflower has the highest base ATK and violet is the strongest color on the visible spectrum) to red (Sadsack has almost the worst base ATK, and red is the weakest visible color). Each monster is named after a slang term for a different personality type. All in all, this was a lot of fun to do. Their spells and traps don't follow a specific strategy, but some of them focus on interfering with spells and effect monsters. I didn't want any of their effects to maliciously harm the opponent, and instead focus on Normal monster support and stat switching. In this way, their archetypal theme focuses on being unassuming mimes (normal monsters) before they reveal their true colors, pun intended, and either switch their ATK and DEF for massive damage or summon their Synchro monsters to mess with the stability of the field. I hope you enjoy the idea, the execution, and my bad artwork. If you extend the time, I'll still try to draw images for the spells and traps. [spoiler=Monsters] [spoiler=Mimichrome Wallflower (MICHR-M1001)] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Gossip (MICHR-1002)] 1 "Mimichrome" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters Once per turn, you can reveal 1 card in your hand to look at 1 face-down card on your opponent's field, 1 card in their hand, or the top card of their Deck. While you control no face-down monsters, this card's original ATk and DEF are switched. When a face-up "Mimichrome" monster attacks or is attacked, you can target it; reveal the top three cards of your Deck and send them to the bottom of your Deck to switch the original ATK and DEF of the targeted monster. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Nightowl (MICHR-M1003)] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Gadfly (MICHR-M1004)] When this card is Summoned, both players can add 1 Normal Monster from their Deck to their hand. While this card is face-up on your field, your opponent cannot target face-up "Mimichrome" monsters you control for attacks, except this one. When this card is destroyed, you can switch the original ATK and DEF of 1 face-up monster on the field. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Troll (MICHR-M1005)] 1 "Mimichrome" Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters. This card cannot be Special Summoned by the effects of Spell or Trap Cards. This card's ATK and DEF cannot be increased (its ATK and DEF can still be decreased or switched). During each of your Standby Phases, declare either Ritual Monster, Xyz Monster, Fusion Monster, or Synchro Monster; until your next Draw Phase, neither player can Summon a monster of the declared card type. If this card is destroyed by battle; Special Summon it in face-up Attack Position during the End Phase, and switch the original ATK an DEF of 1 other face-up "Mimichrome" monster on the field until your next Draw Phase. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Worrywart (MICHR-M1006)] This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field, in your hand, or in the Graveyard. While this card is face-up on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect: • Once per turn, when the ATK and DEF of a "Mimichrome" monster switches, you can Special Summon 1 Normal "Mimichrome" monster from your hand; you cannot Tribute monsters until your next End Phase.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Mimichrome Sadsack (MICHR-M1007)] This card is treated as a Normal Monster while face-up on the field, in your hand, or in the Graveyard.

The turn player cannot activate Spell Cards. While the controller of this card controls 2 or more face-up "Mimichrome" monsters, the effects of all Spell Cards and Effect Monsters are negated. When this card is destroyed, both players can Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from their hand. Worrisome White Mask (Equip Spell Card): Switch the original ATK and DEF of the equipped monster. If the equipped monster is a "Mimichrome" monster: when the equipped monster is destroyed, you can equip this card to another face-up monster on the field. Whimsical White Mask (Quick-Play Spell Card): Increase the original DEF of all face-up "Mimichrome" monsters by 1000. When a monster affected by this card is destroyed, inflict 1000 points of damage to its controller's Life Points. During either player's Battle Phase, you can banish this card in your Graveyard; switch the original ATK and DEF of 1 face-up "Mimichrome" monster you control until the End Phase. Invisible Invisible Box (Quick-Play Spell Card): Monsters cannot declare attacks until your next End Phase. Both players can draw cards up to the number of face-up "Mimichrome" monsters on the field. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Traps (sorry, no images)] Silent Subtitles (Continuous Trap Card): While you control a face-up "Mimichrome" monster; the activation and effects of Spell Cards you control cannot be negated. When a Spell Card you control is destroyed by an opponent's card effect, you can destroy this card.

Might of the Mimic (Normal Trap Card): Send 1 card from your hand or field to the Graveyard; switch the original ATK and DEF of a face-up "Mimichrome" Monster.

Negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. During the End Phase of the turn you activated this card, Special Summon 1 Normal "Mimichrome" monster from your hand in face-up Attack Position. Oath of Silence (Counter Trap Card): When a "Mimichrome" monster you control is destroyed, switch the original ATK and DEF of all face-up monsters on the field until the End Phase. During your next Main Phase, you can Special Summon 1 "Mimichrome" monster from your hand or Graveyard with a level equal to or less than the number of monsters that were affected by this card's effect. [/spoiler] So that's it for now. I'd still like to know if this contest is still going on, and/or if I have more time to draw the spells and traps.
