Judging done!

Quote from arbitraryarmor

Judgements are up. I gave out a perfect score this round, congrats to the participant who submitted a truly excellent card this round!

If I may offer a piece of feedback for future judgings? I don't mind getting a bad balance score, I knew the costing would be pretty controversial no matter which direction I went. But it would be nice when you call a design broken to give some reasoning behind it.

Oh, buddy, I wouldn't recommend you commenting on this publicly. This user seems to get a bit sensitive somehow (it seems to be better if commenting on his/her statements about the MCC through PM.)

On a different matter:

Quote from Rithaniel

Shame on you for not posting this thread as MCC Hammer.

Well, that would be easily fixable if MCC Hammer could have mod faculties (wich I think would be a little problematic since, theoretically, many non-mod users are able to sign in as the hammer), or if a CCC mod couldbe able to sing in as MCC Hammer while conserving his mod faculties (I'm wondering if that would even be possible?)

Yea I didn't even realize what I had done until it was too late. To be honest though, I am not sure the MCC Hammer account is even needed. The CCL does it just fine without an account, as does the DCC :shurg:

I think the MCC Hammer thing is... "cute". The only issue I could see is the fact that, in case the one who singed in with it forgets to clarify his original username at the end of the OP, and any of us wants to PM him/her for any particullar reason, well... We just don't know to who direct our PM. Beside this trifle, I think it's fine. I don't see it necessary (unless I'm missing something), but neither I feel it's a problem.

My card was just 'Egoling' and it's broken beyond everything. So there's something to it.
I'd still like to know whether I lost all points for balance alone...

Clockwork Gamer is only missing two judgings and then we're just waiting for Koopa. I blame Mario.

Pretty much.

A question on etiquette and judging: I've been working on a design today for Round Two that is similar to, but different from, a recently posted submission. Is posting mine considered improper? Would it have any effect on my score?

Pretty much.

Thanks for clearing that up. I don't know why, but I feel like I accomplished something.

Quote from Fuusengum

Supercharge UR
Instant (R)
Copy target activated or triggered ability. (Mana abilities can't be targeted.)
Tuk-zuk discovered a whole new world of fun, as he realized, only one hand was required to wield his favorite spell.

That's a masturbation joke, isn't it?

I was going to post a card very similar to Supercharge.

@doomfish: Not sure if giving a thumbs up for your latest post would be proper or not but, since the censor had nothing to say, here it is:

You just made my day.

Were you the poster of said submission or is someone else?

Someone else. Two someones, actually. Take two posted cards, splice them, and that's basically what I was designing. I've moved on to something else because I don't want to be perceived as unoriginal.

Quote from Koopa

Challenge 1:[/b] Is not a Planar or Phenomenon card.

Well, I have no idea what Planar cards are, but I'm so pleased to see [b]Plane[/b] cards will still get the bonus point.

Quote from Zoomba

Trying to brainstorm flavor text ideas really shines a spotlight on the fact that Green keeps getting shafted in the planeswalker department, both in the number of unique walkers and in the depth of their personalities.

Seriously. Sometimes it feels like Green gets as little creative space as Red does mechanical space.

Quote from silph

note: i don't know how to get the planeswalking symbol; i'm using {PW} to represent it.

That makes :sympw:. I don't think there's a forum code for the planar die planeswalker symbol.

That symbol never appears on a card, though.

i found out that {PW} makes phyrexian mana, myself :-P
thing is that {PW} is what's used in the comp rules, so it's kind of funny that phyrexian mana overturns it.

also: i want to let people know that i created my card before i read Fuusengum's card's rules text. i was thinking of a card that could be used outside of planechase, and i guess Fuusengum and i chose the most obvious solution...

Round 2 is open for another hour yet but judge brackets are set up.

people seem to have loved izzet colours this round :-P

Quick judgment because I'm busy this weekend. I'll try to pad these out on Monday or Tuesday.

Judgings are done and up, here. I had to think a little differently about my judging when it came to your entry, Rith.

With apologies to Harbinger, I might be a tad late with my judgings. I'll try to have it finished by midnight but I very well may go over an hour or two. Sorry in advance.

EDIT: Judgings are up. Close round, I must say.

Oh mine were done on Sunday btw

Quote from BaconCatBug

Lets hope my bracket gets done quick. I always seem to get slow judges.

Remember, this is a volunteer thing. The best thing you can do for the overall judging situation is to judge yourself whenever you can!

Nooooooo! The one time I ignore the challenge.

Also, the flavor was because I couldn't have possibly found an artwork that fits the location, and a lot of the explanation and understanding that comes in a plane card is in the artwork.

Expect judgments to come much later tonight.
