Thranduil's Virtual DC Contest - (Final Count)

[Micah247]

I'm in again, hopefully I can learn a bit and do better this time.

[Thranduil]

Well, it looks like we are finishing the contest where we left off then. And after that, who knows?

So, now we move onto the next round (and anyone can participate, regardless of previous rounds).







You are either to design One Whom Men Would Follow, or BOTH Swan-Ship of the Galadhrim and Support of the Last Homely House. Though you may ask: why would I design 2 cards when I could design 1? My answer would be that the mini-cycle here would be no more work than the single card because the same ideas will be used in both cards, and cycles are a good way to show off good ideas.

Here are the rules for this round:

1) Have the same title (with a (V) attached to the end)
2) Have the same twilight cost and culture - the cards may be events or conditions
3) Have whatever attributes or attribute modifiers you think appropriate
4) Have a different text, maybe similar, but could also be on completely different lines *HOWEVER, each card MUST work in some way with followers, and you may even wish to design them with your Bilbo in mind from last round
5) Have a lore which you want, it's really up to you - you can keep the same lore or put in your own, it doesn't really matter.

So, your card should in the end look a bit like this:

/(0) Title (V) [Culture]
Type
Str: +X
Vit: +Y
Res/Sit: +Z
Text
Lore
1 V 64/65/109

PM me with your entry before Sunday 25th May. Anyone who sends me an entry by that time will be automatically entered. And you might want to make sure that all your PMs are saved by changing your profile options just in case you want to overview the card afterwards.

And so, what is there left but to wish you good luck! 8)

I think you were planning this round for some time, but isn't it ironic that this round is the first at our new location? One might say that this round has the support of the last homely house... 

Anvar

[Thranduil]

Wow, that is ironic... And it could have been this first followed by Bilbo!

[sickofpalantirs]

why do these cards need to be updated? I think they are quite useful as they are....

[Thranduil]

Because allies are an outdated concept and now we deal with followers. Hence the restrictions for this round.

Also, just because we're making a virtual card doesn't mean the original has to be useless or broken - they're just good targets. There were plenty of SWCCG virtual cards that were useful versions of just as useful originals, just with a different focus of abilities.

Sorry Thran you know its not like me so give me a break this once, i need an extension. I have forgotten upto this point as been busy at work and im out away from a PC all tomorrow and Saturday/Sunday. Its a bank holiday monday so doubt ill do it then, can i have til tuesday? If not then ill come back in next round.

Oops! Beg my pardon!

[DáinIronfoot]

With me, on the other hand, you know you'll be getting it at approximately 11:57 and 42 seconds on Saturday night.

Nah, I'll have it in by tomorrow, probably. Got a couple ideas rattling around in my head.

[Thranduil]

No it's cool, a couple of other people also wanted an extension (like AD and SoP) so the new deadline is Tuesday 27th. Gives you a chance to do it on Tuesday lem0n.

[Thranduil]

And so here are our entries for this round. Slightly fewer than we had at CC, but I suppose that's somewhat inevitable. But some new blood nonetheless.

All contestants must vote, other votes will be most appreciated.

Each person should vote for their favourite 3 in order.

Voting deadline is Saturday 31st May.
