The DCC - March 3rd, 2024

[bravelion83]

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

---

Welcome to the March DCC!

Just so you all know, the thread posting time might be more variable than usual for my standards. I'm still adjusting to my new normality after my father's death, and my sleep schedule is what it is, and most of all still subject to change. That's assumed that it will ever find a stable place... for now, the thread posting time is around midnight CET (Central European Time). For those that might not know I've been born and raised in Italy from a British mother, who lives with me, and an Italian father, who died last December. I live and I have always lived in Italy. I've been in several places within my country but never outside of it, not even once in my whole life so far. So I'm in CET. Please adjust by yourself what midnight CET means to you.

I am in Italy, so it's CET, always remember that! What is evening/night to me is afternoon in America and might be the next day's morning in eastern countries, so adjust that to your time zone!

EDIT - I think I will put up tomorrow's thread around midnight CET, that is in a little more than an hour from this edit, and I might keep that time for now. Please adjust midnight CET to your time zone and play accordingly. I can already say though that the thread for the 7th will need to go up either earlier than that or somebody else will have to take care of that day. There should be no other problems for all the rest of March, it's only that single day.

I think you can easily guess that my obligation on the Italian morning of March 7th has to do with yet another bureaucratic thing having to do with my father's death, and you'd be right...

flavor note

Show

Hide

Remember how I often mention my novel that I've written for the first custom set in my huge table? That's set on my main custom plane, which is called Vukanat. Vuksa Kratich (also known as just "Vuk") is one in the group of protagonists in that novel, and a very important character in my own Multiverse. His brother, maybe an even more important character and also a planeswalker, is named Kimatt, obviously with the same surname: Kimatt Kratich (also known as just "Kim"), and the main protagonist of that first novel. There is a deep bond between them, one that goes way beyond simple brotherhood. This is the starting plot point of the sequel to that story (one of the story spotlights in the sequel set), already planned in detail but I still have to actually write it: Kim one day suddenly disappears with no apparent reason. Vuk essentially has an anxiety attack as his brother doesn't come back home for the night, and decides to find him at all costs, no matter how long it will take or where his search will lead him. It will take him the whole story to get his brother back, and telling the why and how of Kim's sudden disappearance is the main plot of that story. I might have already mentioned Kim and/or Vuk by name in other submissions in various contests, now I can't remember. But if you've already seen those names, that's who they are.
