While we wait for more Echoes content to complete, a lot of work was done on the Judgement and Custom Match formats this week. We’re closing it out with another Flavor Text Contest and continued community appreciation.

Flavor of the Week

Can you believe we’re already on to the eighth Flavor Text Contest for Echoes? It doesn’t matter what you believe- it’s a fact. Scientifically provable by using math. Without further ado:

Keeper’s Pledge

Growth at its finest: Throw everything you have at the board and watch it get stronger. But wait, this effects the opponent’s units as well? Hmm.

This Scroll lacks its flavor. Tell us what you think should fill the blank space at the bottom.

Judgement Rework Feedback

We’re interested in collecting your feedback on the new Judgement changes currently on the test server. We’re specifically looking for feedback from those who have tested the changes. Was it more fun? Less fun? What was good? What was bad? Tell us everything you know. I have a very particular set of skills…

Community Awards

We would like to continue recognizing those players who have contributed in significant ways to bettering the community of Scrolls. Our small way of doing that? Scholar heads!

kbasten : The man behind the machine that is Scrollsguide.com, kbasten has provided an uncountable amount of tools and services that support Scrolls and its community. I’d give him more than an avatar head if I could- he deserves his own body.

Truly an unsung hero that does a lot of the thankless dirty work that keeps information readily available. Hey while we’re on the topic of the Wiki, check out the Community Portal there if you’re looking to contribute. There’s always something to be done.

Teteduo : His frequent translations of Scrolls.com articles for Scrolls.fr and helping to organize community events such as the recent Cheap Baguette Open have earned him our appreciation. Nevjoia does a lot of work over there as well – we’ve already awarded him head for his mentor program participation, but he still deserves to be singled out when speaking of Scrolls.fr.

While he hasn’t written one recently, many players have taken up the reigns over at the Scrollsguide.com forums.

Whew, okay, that’s enough! Like we’ve said before, there are a lot of people we’d like to recognize for brightening our community. These won’t be the last.

Tournaments

The second ESL season of 2015 starts this Sunday. The format has somewhat changed and the prizes have been increased. While the announcement for the new season and all it entails isn’t quite up yet, I’ll add the link here once it is. Either way, you can still sign up without having to wait.

New tournament formats seem to be springing up all the time. Experimentation is always nice to see. Lbrande has put together a creature only format for this Saturday. There’s gold and scrolls to be won, so why not give it a try?

In other news, we did a little bit of work to fix test server login issues. Remember, it’s intended open to everyone permanently. Get out there and test that Judgement. See you next week!
