Welcome to the DCC!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post in the DCC Discussion Thread.
How To Play
How does this card-making game work? It's simple! Whenever your card receives a vote, you receive [1] point for the month. If your card ends up with the most votes for that day, you will receive [2] additional points for the month. In the event of a tie, each person who tied receives [1] additional point. At the end of each month, the person with the most points on the scoreboard wins that month, then the scoreboard is cleared for the next month. You can participate in as many or as few days as you want in any month.
Rules
- Each day you may post any card you want. On the next day all of the posted cards will be put into the thread as long as your card didn't get disqualified - see the next point for more details. If you post more than one card in a DCC thread, only the first card you post will be taken.
- When you vote, you need to make exactly two votes for two different people. Vote for the cards that are listed in the first post, not other cards being posted in the thread. If you notice that you've only voted for one person, include your second vote in a post, even if you're not submitting a card.
- If you want to change your vote for any reason, post that change in the day's thread (you can include it with your card if you want). Changed votes in the discussion thread will be ignored.
- Voting for only one person, for three or more people, or for yourself will earn you an asterisk by your name in the monthly leaderboard. So will failing to vote if you've posted a card. (We're not going to do anything about people who don't vote or post cards; that would be kind of silly.) This indicates that you're on probation for the next 21 days. If you're on probation and you make another improper vote, your card will be disqualified. Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.
- Voting for everything in the poll will be grounds for a lifetime ban from the DCC. Don't do it. It just wastes the thread creators' time.
- If you wish to post a render, please use the hyperlink option when posting your card and make the card name the image link. Renders are usually large enough to clog up the list, so submit a text-formed card and (optionally) a link in the name to the render.
- This thread is just for your card submission. Take your questions/comments to our discussion thread. If it's a question, comment, or complaint about probation, PM void_nothing and/or the month's DCC organizer.
- When posting make sure that:
- You have included all of the previous day's entries.
- You update the leaderboard with the previous day's scores.
Notes of the Day
Yesterday I've written about strong acid and bases. Today we'll talk about weak ones, that's ones that only dissociate partially. This means the reaction is not complete, but it's really a chemical equilibrium. Those are indicated by two overlapping arrows, one pointing left and one right. <=> is my best rendition, I haven't found it as a single character. ↔ is close in shape but means another thing in chemistry (resonance formulas, I don't think we'll have time to talk about those this month, it's an advanced concept). The two overlapping arrows mean that the reaction goes both ways at the same time: a part of the reagents turn into products while at the same time part of the products turn back into reagents. This is called a "dynamic equilibrium". As an example, let's write the dissociation of ammonia according to Brönsted and Lowry:
NH3 + H2O <=> NH4+ + OH-.
Here is where the OH- that Arrhenius told us about comes from in the case of ammonia or other bases that don't have oxygen atoms to lose: it comes from the solvent losing a hydrogen ion. Tomorrow we'll start a talk that will lead us to mathematically express the strength of an acid or a base.
