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. 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 earn a point by sharing a battle from the latest Beginner's Tourney. I'll pick 5 battles that will earn an LP for both players involved. Share your battles in the comment section below
Winners of the bonus prizes that are participating in the Loyalty system "gain" -1 LP every time they win a card.
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
The board continues getting bigger every week. Welcome newcomers!
I feel I can finally remove the note that stayed here for a while now ;)
Share Your Battles, Earn LP
Last week I added another way for you to earn an extra LP by sharing your battles from Beginner's Tourneys but only 2 people applied so I'm gonna leave this as a reminder.
Every week I will pick 5 battles that you guys share and reward both players from the battle with 1 LP, although the same participant can't get more than 1 point per week from this.
You can share your battles in form of a comment or create a post about it just like you would
for the Splinterlands Share Your Battle Weekly Challenge posts. If you only share your battle through a comment, tell us why do you find this battle funny, interesting, or whatever.
Which battles are rewarded is ultimately my decision but you guys may sway me of course :D
Only battle from the most recent Beginner's Tourney are eligible.
Share Your Battle LP Winners:
Since those were the only two entries, they both won an LP for all participants of these battles.
1. @shinkurisu vs @mondroid
Shared by @shinkurisu with a comment:
I chose this one because it shows a failed attempt to out-smart one of the regulars on the top of the tournament. I had to battle him twice, and lost both. But this battle is more meaningful for beginners because we both used Chaos Legion summoners.
I tried to buff with Tarsa (since Melee only) and buffer with Ant Miners to remove the first attack, if they brought a Kelya with speed. I guessed the summoner correctly, but my method failed.
Next time, I hope.

2. @arviez vs @khunjuice
Shared by @arviez with a comment:
Picked this battle because I was getting it handed to me for the first rounds. Forgotten One in the back pulled through for me as poison took care of the other team.
Didn't deserve the W, but I'll take it anyway.

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 extra support like sending DEC to my account, voting, sharing my post, etc. is highly appreciated
