Skip the first two paragraphs if yo wish, but you may find them helpful.
A long time ago, on the twenty-sixth of June 2004, a Create-a-Card contest was brought upon the gym... Many participants flocked from all around the CaC Section and and all across the gym to enter... there were some who made their debut, and there were elite masters such as SuperWooper, Patriarch, bertrand, and Burninating_Torchic, who gathered in that one place to pwn... Now, that contest is back like a chicken escaping a slaughterhouse... well, maybe not like that, but it IS back. With tougher competition, if you're lucky, new challenges, and a new title: PenguinMaster's Ultimate 1337 Master of all Things CaC! Who knows who will win, but it won't be easy. The competition will progress in a number of rounds determined by the number of entrants. The higher score you get, the better chance you have to stay alive. At the end of each round, those with the lowest scores will be eliminated. As we move to the final few contestants, you will take on another competetor in a face-off challenge, a mechanic new to CaC contests. The last person to alive, obviously, is the winner.
I may award second and third place, but you get no titles or prizes of any sort. Knowing that you defeated other ambitious CaCers is your reward. Sadly, all I have to offer for prizes is your card made into an image fake using the most advance Photoshop software, and maybe some cards. If you're one of those people who can make their own images, enter anyway. We'll work SOMETHING out .
Regardless, I invite each and every one of you to come and enter. I will except card entries until January 19 at 10:00 CST. If you don't have your card posted or PM'd to PenguinMaster by then, it does not get in.
Alriiighty then, enough page-filling blah. Here's the stuff you need to know for Round 1.
Round 1 Details and Shtuffz like that said:Well, let's start you off nice and easy. Your first task is to make... let's see... how about a simple Stage 2 Pokémon. Easy enough, it can be ex, SP, DS, owner's, Dark, Light, etc., and Ultima types are allowed. BT, you automatically lose if you enter Kingdra DS ;x ;x ;x. Now, I present to you the rubric from which you will be scored.
El Rubric!
*Stuff at the top of the Card (5 Pts.)
Easy enough. Name, HP, and type. Make it all correct for your Pokémon and you get full points.
*Picture (20 Pts.)
Nothing to laugh at here. Make it descriptive, imaginative, absract. You know, all the stuff your art teachers and professors rant on about? I want to see the thing in my head. Impress me with your awesome skills of descriptiness.
*The Meat: Poké-Powers, Poké-Bodies, and Attacks (50 Pts.)
The biggest section of your score. This includes attack/power name, Energy costs, damage, effects, playability, etc. Make it creative. Don't be afraid to explore new game mechanics, you might find yourself with more points.
*End Stuff (5 Pts.)
All the stuff at the bottom of the card, basically Weakness, Resistance, and Retreat. Include rarity, 9-digit code, etc if you wish.
*Spelling, Grammar, and Proper Game Text (20 Pts.)
Erm, yeah... do it right. Make sure I know what you're talking about and don't mispell stuff, as I am sure I have already -_-. For certain people (APT) you may want to look at a real card, or use something with spell check like Word to revise your card. That is, if youwant to win.
Now, I believe that covers everything. Enjoy!
