Septima Rhay:
Proposals should provide the following info:

Name
Event Type
Summary/Description
Min/Optimal/Max participants
Deckbuilding/Event Rules
Match/Challenge format
Rounds/phases/timeline

oEtG cardpool is the default.  If proposing a legacy event, please specify that in your proposal. 

PVP Events are generally categorized by: Tournament, League, Individual Event, Team Event.  Events do not have to be PvP based.  They can be deckbuilding challenges, questing, etc.  PvP events will likely be the most common events, but non-PvP events may provide enjoyable 'downtime' from a heavier competitive atmosphere. 

You may, instead of proposing event ideas, simply comment on the type of event(s) you would like to participate in.  This includes replays of past events and/or adaptations of events that were held in flash/legacy elements. 

There will be occasional player polls to determine interest and timing of future events.

Example:

Spoiler for Hidden: Name: Tournament - New Kids on the Block
Type: PvP Tournament

Spoiler for PVP Team Event -Siege: Name: Siege
Type: PVP Team Event
Summary: There's a fortress.  There's a team that defends the fortress.  There's another team that attacks the fortress. Why Can't they just get along, trade, share resources and both thrive? Because human frustrated. The fortress will have various "objectives" - places that teams try to take control of for strategic benefit (i.e. Main Gate or East Tower or Disco Hall).
Participants: Minimum 12
Deckbuilding rules: Generally, defenders get specific card resources and deckbuilding (i.e. upgrades) advantages while attackers get more 'soldier resources' (larger card vault).  Attackers generally will have less power (upgrades) but more soldiers they can expend, meaning they don't need as high of a W/L ratio as defenders, but attrition will set in.  Losing objectives becomes increasingly troublesome for defenders as it allows attackers to gain strategic and deckbuilding advantages. Teams can heavily guard certain objectives or spread resources around evenly
Matches: Varied depending on objectives
Rounds/Timeline: Likely 5-7 rounds

Matches: depend on the challenges faced
Rounds/Timeline: Planning phase will be about a weeklong.  The questing phase is intended to be a single instance, synchronous event about 2 hours long.

Septima Rhay:
Tour de Elements

Event planned by: asdw152 and Septima Rhay

Players race through a 5-stage course featuring challenging terrain. The player finishing with the most accrued points is declared the winner.  Players choose a ‘vehicle’ to race with, which is 1 of the 12 elements.  Players gain access to all cards of that element for every stage.  In addition to your vehicle, players choose 2 to 3 ‘fuels’ per stage.  Fuels are the remaining elements not including your vehicle element.  Fuels give players access to the cards of those elements for that stage only.  Once a fuel is used up in a stage, players will no longer be able to use that fuel type (cards from that element) in future stages.

Players will be randomly paired with 2 opponents per stage. Players have a 5-game-match with each of these opponents (not best of five; 10 games total for stage).  Stages have two phases: prep and matches. 

1-day Prep Phase (resting)
Match pairings will be posted at the start of the prep phase.  For each stage, players choose 2 to 3 ‘fuels’, meaning they have access to those elements’ cards for deckbuilding in addition to their vehicle element and chroma cards.  In Stages 1 through 4, players select 2 fuels for each stage.  For stage 5, players select 3 fuels. Once a stage is over, fuels from that stage are exhausted; players may no longer use cards from these elements for the remainder of the event; this includes the pillar and pendulum and mark cards for those elements.  Fuel choices are made public at the end of the prep phase.  Players missing the deadline will have fuels randomly chosen for them by the event host.

6-day Match Phase (racing)
Players earn points by winning games; points accrue throughout the event and are only tallied at the end of a stage.  The player with most accrued points at the end of Stage 5 will be declared the winner. 

Points structure by stage:
Stage 1 - 5 points per game win
Stage 2 - 6 points per game win
Stage 3 - 6 points per game win
Stage 4 - 7 points per game win
Stage 5 - 7 points per game win

Spoiler for Overall Deckbuilding Rules: Deckbuilding Rules: applies to every stage

Vehicle Rule: At least 40% of the cards in your decks must be from your vehicle element
Mono Rule:  for each 5-game match, players are limited to playing a mono deck once; if a deck has only cards from (1) your vehicle element and (2) chroma, it will count as a mono deck.
Fuel Selection Rule: For each stage, players choose two or three elements during the prep phase.  The fuels cannot be from the vehicle element. Once a fuel is used in a stage, it is exhausted and may not be used in future stages.
Fuel Use Rule: players must use their fuels in each match for that stage.  For a fuel to be used, players must use at least 8 non-pillar/pendulum/mark cards over a 5 game match. 
Drafting Rule: Starting with Stage 2, players who have fewer total points than an opponent gain a ‘Drafting boost’ and receive 2+ deck upgrades in their match with that opponent.  Total points are only calculated at the end of stages.
Banned card: Regrade is banned for this event
Chroma access: players always have access to chroma cards, except regrade; chroma cards do not count as 'in-element' for the purpose of meeting the 40% vehicle rule
Base Deck upgrades: each stage will specify the upgrade rules.
Upgrade stacking: base upgrades, drafting upgrades, and any stage upgrades stack additively
Spoiler for The Route; stage deckbuilding rules: The Route: Stage descriptions and stage-specific deckbuilding rules; general deck-building rules apply in all stages

Septima Rhay:
Seeking community ideas for a deckbuilding challenge. Would like to launch it in March.  Rewards TBD. Please post your idea(s).

Propose:
1. Deckbuilding rules
2. 'Objective' measure(s) to rate/rank the deck, such as winrate, plies, OUEI, etc.
3. How to verify the measure(s), such as screenshot, saved replay codes, designated player testers reporting results, etc.

Example- build an improved counter for Demigod _____; winner will have the highest average winrate; X designated player testers will play Y times vs. Demigod Z in custom play and report results

gangialf:
Deckbuilding challenge idea: Build your own Champion

Each participant will build a deck for an AI of the level Champion. In the spirit of fairness we don't want our champions to cheat too blatantly, so Pandemonium 3.0 is banned; all other cards can be used. (note: I couldn't find champion decklists, ideally I would like to set a constraint on the number of upgraded cards to be on par with what the champion decks use)

Players submit their decks via private message to an organizer. When the deadline is reached, the organizer will make all the decklists public. Each player will then have to play 3 custom games using the deck they submitted against an AI using each of the other submitted decks, with 150hp 2mark and 2draw. Results for these games will also be submitted via private message to an organizer, along with a vote for the three decks that they found most interesting/original/clever (can't vote for your own deck).

Once all results have been submitted (or after a deadline, in which case all missing results will be considered as lost), all game results and votes will be made public. The deck winning the most games as an AI will be declared the Champion of War, while the deck obtaining the most votes will be declared the Champion of the People.

---

I've tried to come up with a way to easily evaluate decks: the challenge is that if players can play offline and submit results, even requiring proof like screenshots or replay codes there is no way to know if a player played 100 games and submitted the 3 best ones.
This way each player will be evaluating all other players' decks but not their own, so there is very little to gain from submitting fake results, especially if the results of other players' games are not known. Moreover, your deck only gains points when the AI is playing it, so this will be a true test of deckbuilding skills and your playing skills will not affect the result at all.
