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.
(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



Let's put together oxidation and reduction. When we do, we obtain a redox reaction. This is why oxidation and reduction are called semireactions, they are each half of a full redox reaction. In the semireactions electrons appear, as we've seen in the last days, but in a full redox they don't. Electrons are also balanced according to Lavoisier: there must be as many in the reagents as in the products, or if you prefer, as many electrons must be lost in the oxidation as many are acquired in the reduction, that's equivalent. Let's make an example.
Copper (Cu) can have oxidation numbers 0, +1, +2. Let's take +2 and bring it to zero (reduction):
Cu2+ + 2 e- → Cu (copper goes from +2 to zero)
Zinc (Zn) can only have 0 and +2. Let's write the oxidation:
Zn → Zn2+ + 2 e- (zinc passes from zero to +2)
Let's put together the two semireactions and simplify the electrons, like you could do with two mathematical equations. We get:
Cu2+ + Zn → Cu + Zn2+
This is a redox reaction. Copper undergoes reduction and zinc oxidation, or if you prefer, copper acquires electrons and zinc loses electrons. But wait, are those electrons the same? Yes, they are. So we could say that zinc gives its electrons to copper, and we'd be correct. This doesn't matter if we do the reaction with two metal electrodes in a single solution, but is there a way to separate physically the two semireactions so that I could take advantage of the electron transfer to, say, generate electricity? Yes, it's possible, and it's actually quite easy to do. Obviously I haven't chosen this example at random, I wanted to get to this point. This is called the Daniell cell, the second example of electric battery after that of Alessandro Volta (another Italian by the way). Daniell realized that he could separate the two semireactions by creating a closed electrical circuit between two containers, one containing a copper electrode immersed in a solution containing Cu2+ and the other a zinc electrode in a solution of Zn2+. Again, these two containers are physically separated. There is a so-called "salt bridge" that connects the two liquid solutions, and the two metal electrodes are connected with a cable. If we do this, the electrons will flow from the zinc electrode to the copper one within the cable, so we will have generated electricity in the cable that we can use for whatever purpose. This is the main use of redox reactions: generate electricity, and this is just the beginning of a whole branch of chemistry, electrochemistry, that for now we won't explore. I will have other months to host in the future...
