The DCC - June 17th, 2021

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.

(An easy way to post the new thread is to hit the multiquote button on every post in the previous day's thread, then click Post Reply. Select everything in this post, copy it, and then paste it into the first post for a new thread. You'll have to clean up a few small things, like quote tags around the opening post and the previous day's cards.)

Notes of the Day

---

Why all this talk about acid and bases? Because I wanted to arrive to make them react with each other. As a general rule, when you make an acid-base reaction you obtain a salt plus water. Remember Brönsted and Lowry: the acid gives to the base a hydrogen ion and the base takes an hydrogen ion from the acid. Let's take for example hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). HCl gives its hydrogen to NaOH, they formally become Cl^- and NaOH₂ that dissociates into Na⁺ and water (H₂O). Finally Na⁺ and Cl^- bond and form NaCl (a salt). We write it as:
HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
Why do I keep calling NaCl *a* salt and not just "salt" like we do in everyday speech? Because in chemistry salts are a whole family of compounds, and NaCl is only one of them. You call a salt any compound that's formed by a chemical bond between a positive ion and a negative ion. The total electrical charge of a salt must be zero. If the ion charges are numerically equal you take one positive and one negative ion and you're done (that's the case of NaCl). Otherwise you will have to take enough positive and negative ions to balance each other's charge. For example, let's take the ions Na⁺ and S^2-. I will need two sodium ions to balance the double negative charge of the sulfur ion, so the formula of sodium sulfide will be Na₂S. Total charge is zero. As a final example let's take an aluminum ion (Al³⁺) and put it together with the same sulfur ion (S^2-). I will need two aluminum ions with a total charge of 6+ to balance three sulfur ions with total charge 6-. So aluminum sulfide is Al₂S₃.
