The DCC - March 24th, 2023

[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

---

Levin goes on probation again for forgetting to vote. If I've got the rules correct, their card is still up for voting today and going on probation is the only consequence. I would also like to bring up this passage of the rules above:

Repeated disqualification is grounds for warnings and/or infractions for not following the game rules, so please don't do it.

Levin was put on probation by void_nothing on February 13th for failing to vote. During that probation, on March 3rd, their card was DQ'ed and not included in the list of cards up for voting because they forgot to vote a second time while on probation the previous day. It fell on myself to do that. Then, that probation ended on March 7th. Today, on the 24th, a new 21-day probation begins, and that also falls on me.

@Levin, I am honestly and deeply sorry. I wouldn't want things like these to happen. Please pay more attention from now on. I don't want to see the bolded line right above this paragraph being enforced, and I really don't want to be the one having to signal that to the mods. I'm not a mod, so I can't issue those "warnings and/or infractions" myself, I do not have that power, the most I could do is signaling that to the mods and pass your case into their hands, but I do not want to do that either. Please, please, please, do not force me to do that. I really don't want to. I wrote you a PM several hours ago, way before posting this round, something like at the very least 6 or 7 hours ago if not more, as soon as I realized that you didn't vote. I was hoping you would have seen my PM on time. That clearly didn't happen. At least I tried. Check your inbox, you will probably still find that PM in there.

I should probably also mention that I won yesterday's thread and thank everybody for the votes, which I do, but with sourness in my mouth.

EDIT 8 am CEST - In all of this, somehow I didn't add MY OWN card in today's quotes when I posted the thread two hours ago. Now it's there.

HM: marioguy3 (this is a really great concept but this card is really close to an "I win" button on turn 4ish in almost any aggro deck, and gets even more insane if you ever draw it in multiples.)
