[Therrion]

You don't have to mark me down, and I won't be sending fee until it looks as if this will actually be a thing- however, if people start doing this, I'll join Team WIND.

Alternatively, I can become a judge if the teams begin to crowd (doubtful).

 

My Critique:

40 cards is a lot. Perhaps lowering to 15, 8, and 7 M/S/T respectively (total of 30) would make it more manageable. Though, personally, I don't mind contributing 8ish cards to a team. Also, the team size of 5 suggests 30 participants, which is HUGE (18 is still pretty huge, but more likely) and will next to never be achieved with all participants actually participating. Perhaps 3 people per team, and the above card limits, would assist in the beginning of the contest. Of course, the changes can wait to a certain time to see if you can perhaps pull off current expectations, but I feel at the settings you've made it won't get off the ground.

 

I am willing to assist somewhat newer players with the entry fee, and I'm sure if there are other contestants they will do the same. You don't have to join my team for assistance, but I am only willing for perhaps 2-4 people before someone else must assist somebody. (To avoid posting more, I'll include a list of participants I'll pay for at the end of this single post).

 

Anywho, sounds very interesting.

PM me if you need help on payment, makes it easier. I'll send all points at once when contestants are finalized as well as rules (if she feels to change them according to the above or not, either way I will be involved).

[L0SS]

A nice idea, and something I'm interested in partaking in, but I must agree with Therrion. I don't think there are 30 members creating cards in the community, let alone 30 members active and willing enough to make this work. A lower card count and member count will likely make this more achievable. 

 

And yes, I'll be more than happy to pay of entry fees for new members. I wasn't going to spend them any way. 

 

Put me down for DIVINE DARK.

[ÆƵ–]

Hello, yes. I think this contest sounds like a blast, as well as a way for users to get to know each other better. If i may join, i would very much like to be part of the LIGHT team. 

 

note: points will be sent when i have been added to the participants list. 

[Medivh]

LIGHT sounds fairly rad. I'll assist in paying the entry fee for newer members, as well. 

If you don't mind, I'll be sending my points when it starts. If you want to boot me because of that, that is fine. 

[Maeriberii Haan]

Seems interesting. I'll send the entry fee later in this day.

[ÆƵ–]

Seems interesting. I'll send the entry fee later in this day.

i hate to be a nit pick while the host is currently offline, but it appears you did not list what attribute you wanted to make cards for. 

[Maeriberii Haan]

Yeah, still haven't decided on that. I'll post it along with my entry fee.

 

EDIT1: Sent 100 points for the fee, and chose WIND as my attribute.

[ZeRainbowDash]

i'm feeling like DARK... Unfortunately, i cannot pay for anyone, as i need to have at least 100 for my own contest i have up. But if i do happen to gain enough, i will happily pay for others. Sending my hundred your way

Will lower this contest's contestnant number and the number of cards if there isn't enough to join. Wait for a few days and see how it turns out.
 
If I see that this is becoming a thing, I will put you down in WIND.

EDIT: 

 

Psychic Spirituality, you are accepted. Will add you to the contestant list asap

[Therrion]

Hmm, I'll go ahead and send my points then so I'll be up on the list~

 

EDIT: Aix has an interesting idea of combining teams that I somewhat like. I think the teams would be LIGHT/DARK, FIRE/WATER, and EARTH/WIND, considering the Attribute combinations Konami has made. Though, that'd make LIGHT/DARK team not interesting, so combinations should be different, like "LIGHT/FIRE, EARTH/DARK, WIND/WATER". Though, the 2 contestants idea is sided. Really, anything that makes this seem like it will actually happen is fine in my eyes.

@Aix: Don't want to judge 240 cards? Wynaut!?

[Aix]

What if you fused Attributes to make things more manageable? Like a FIRE/EARTH team and a WATER/WIND team and etc. Or just removed some choices altogether because there's no way that you'd be able to fill all the teams.

 

There also doesn't appear to be a judge... I would judge if the number was lower... like A LOT lower...

[Daigusto Sphreez]

You won't get the amount of people you want, but I would like to be proved wrong (I won't be, though). 

 

I think if you had 2 people to each team, that would be 12 people, perhaps achievable. 

And a smaller number of cards since 40 will leech peoples time. 

Otherwise it sounds good. I would join the Water team.

 

 

edit: eh, screw it, sending points. 

[Maeriberii Haan]

I think 3 people per team, and a total of 20-30 cards would be more realistic.More cards would lead to a greater possibility of having cards with a similar job with different effectiveness. Also, maybe you can actually include extra deck stuffs into monsters, with some sort of ration between main decked monsters and extra deck monsters.

[Therrion]

15 Monsters

-3 Extra Deck MAX, max of one per teammate.

-12 Main Deck Monsters

6 Spells

-1 Field Spell MINIMUM

4 Traps

 

That is my ideal list, and I agree, main deck monsters would get rather repetitive. Even then, though, I imagine you could reduce it more.

EDITED to second the below post.

[Maeriberii Haan]

12 main deck, 3 extra deck, 6 spells, and 4 traps should work imo, since we're not making something generic.

[ZeRainbowDash]

i like the sound of that. while i enjoy makng cards, i simply dont have the time to do 8 cards while coordinating how the uild will run with 4 other people

[Squirrel Girl]

Added to the list of contestants

Thinks for the idea. Will think of a way to combine the attributes. And will lower the card amount and number of contestants. In or not?

Your in, and will lower the contestant's. Wasn't sure if this would get so many people, but I was hoping. Will lower the amount of people able to join.

Tnks for advice. Will do that.

 

15 Monsters

-3 Extra Deck MAX, max of one per teammate.

-12 Main Deck Monsters

6 Spells

-1 Field Spell MINIMUM

4 Traps

 

That is my ideal list, and I agree, main deck monsters would get rather repetitive. Even then, though, I imagine you could reduce it more.

EDITED to second the below post.

 

Will change the card amount and all that. Will see the change by the end of the day (I go by my time count here in sweden)

 

Too all that have paid me, add you to the list.

 

Changed the card amount and I want suggestions for attribute combinations. You can either PM or post it here

[Tormented]

Might be tempted to join up unsure about how we go about assigning people to teams mind you.

[Daigusto Sphreez]

If the attributes are still subject to being changed up or mixed with others, that might influence what teams we want to be on, so if that is happening it should probably be clarified sooner rather than later. 

[Tormented]

I suppose I should join with Frax, sending some points over now.

[Squirrel Girl]

@Tormented: Accepted. Will add to WATER.

 

I suggest change like this:

 

WATER/EARTH

 

LIGHT/WIND

 

DARK/FIRE

 

Will PM this change to the contestants and see if they agree to that.

[ZeRainbowDash]

I like these, and if they stick, please transfer me to LIGHT/WIND

[Therrion]

Since the teams are made out of combinations of Attributes, perhaps a minimum of around 1-3 cards should support a deck using both attributes in the team. For example, a monster that requires DARK monsters in the Graveyard to use an effect that assists FIRE monsters, for the DARK/FIRE team.

I don't mind the combinations made.

[Squirrel Girl]

Then perhaps at the minimum 3 monsters have to support decks using both attributes, atleast 1 spell, and atleast 1 trap must also support such an idea (exg. Chaos Sorcerer).

I don't mind the combinations made.

 

Well, if you can explain a little more elaborated, I would be thankful. Dont understand what you mean
