The DCC - June 10th, 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

---

Let's talk about acids and bases. There are three different definitions of them, and I'll give them in chronological and logical order (they are the same). The first definition is by Arrhenius and it says that an acid is a substance that in water loses hydrogen ions (H⁺) while a base is a substance that in water loses hydroxide ions (OH^-). The problem is that there are bases who don't have oxygen atoms to lose, like ammonia (NH₃). How can we justify their behavior? Here's where Brönsted and Lowry intervene, keeping the same definition of acid but instead calling a base a substance that acquires hydrogen ions. This definition is fine for most common day use, and it will also be the one we'll use the most from now on, but what about acids that have no hydrogen atoms to lose, such as aluminum chloride (AlCl₃)? Lewis kicks in and tells us that an acid is a substance that can acquire electron pairs while a base loses electron pairs. These last definitions also have the added advantage to be independent on the solvent, which had to be water for the other two, but require you to know which substances can acquire or lose electron pairs, which requires you to know quantum mechanics. If you're not afraid, and you shouldn't be at this level, maybe we will talk about quantum mechanics later in the month.
