2 Random participants will get: Level 1 Spark Pixies (RARE)

and other 10 Random participants will get: Level 1 Goblin Thief (COMMON)


Loyalty System
Today, I'm gonna lay out some details about this system I want to develop to further reward players coming back to these tournaments and participating in these posts.
How to Participate:
One important thing to do before you are eligible to participate in the Loyalty System. Just leave a comment under the latest tournament post (this post at the moment). You need to do this only ONCE. I want to rule out some of those bots that only auto-pilot through tournaments and reward actual players.
How to Earn points:
Rules are going to be very simple. For every tournament participation, you will get 1 LP (loyalty point), If you finish in the top 10 you get 1 extra LP.
You can also earn an extra LP by reposting tournament-related posts to help me spread the word about these tourneys. There might be some additional posts/events where I will be giving out more LPs.
Loyalty Reward Structure
Keep in mind that this is something I'll experiment with over time and things will change, I'll be adding and removing available rewards but I'll try to stick with the structure as long as it makes sense to me and I can afford it. So the structure currently looks like this:
# | Reward | Loyalty Point Cost |
---|---|---|
1. | Chaos Legion Pack | 100 LP |
2. | Random CL Summoner card (excluding legendaries) | 90 LP |
3. | Random CL Epic card | 50 LP |
4. | Random CL rare card (excluding summoners) | 10 LP |
5. | Random CL common card | 5 LP |
To redeem rewards you need to comment on the most recent tournament post with "I want to redeem reward # X times." for example "I want to redeem reward 4. 5 times (essentially redeeming 5 random rares)

LP board has a huge turnout, even bigger than I expected, thank you all for participating!
Still, some people refuse to read the posts thoroughly and comment on my older post to join. Guys, that doesn't help me too much :P Sorry if you were some of those people and didn't end up on the board, we will fix that, just comment if you are one of those people. I'm gonna keep this reminder forever I think. xD
I don't mind that some people don't read everything in the post thoroughly, but since you are trying to participate in a system (a very simple one I might add :D ) please take a minute to go through it. For that reason, all people that wanted to participate, please comment again because requests before this post won't be considered.
I welcome every feedback and idea for the development of the loyalty system, please share your thought in the comments below. You might've noticed that I trimmed down some DEC prices, to help me run this system sustainably, any bonus support like sending DEC to my account, voting, sharing my post, etc. is highly appreciated
Future LP System changes
I'm going to add some rules to point accumulation in the future and would like to know what you guys think.
The first one coming up next week is a -1 LP for every lucky participant that wins a bonus prize. I know this may sound weird but hear me out. I'm trying to share with the community, as much as possible. Random prize winners are here to make it a little bit more exciting, but in the end, I want to give something to everyone. Naturally because its luck dependent, some participants come up more often as winners, while others are still waiting for their first card. So to give to those unlucky ones, I have to take (a little) from the lucky ones.
If you compare that to the LP board rewards, you are still "4 points up" if you win a level 1 common from someone that didn't win anything. I think that's fair, what do you guys think?
The second one is the bonus points for reposting. Before anything, I want to thank you guys for doing that, it helps spread the word about these tournaments. I think we are missing one requirement that should make sense. We are talking about minimum followers here. I was thinking in the range of around 10-20 followers. For one reason in particular. Sharing a post with next to 0 followers doesn't actually help out and you're just getting an extra LP for nothing, basically. I want to make some of you at least try to participate in the community. You can do that in many ways. Participate in challenges, comment on the current state of the game, come up with some ideas/improvement, theorycrafting, art, you name it. Everyone is unique and can provide content.
As always, feedback is welcome!
