Tournaments, Missions, and Events
Every other hour, there are one-hour tournaments where players have the opportunity to win Clintz or free credits. There are also more strategy-based ELO tournaments, with stricter deck-building rules, which last a week. In ELO, players start out with 1000 points. A player is matched randomly against an opponent within 150 points of him/her. Players gain more points from defeating higher-ranked opponents, but will also lose more points if they lose to lower-ranked opponents. Players will gradually have their scores reset to 1000 if they do not play ELO mode for a few days. At the end of the week, 12 random players of the top 100 receive a CR (collector card). 50 random players above 1200 points receive a random Rare card. Players are also awarded free Credits and share out the Jackpot (Clintz) based on their final ranks or ELO points.
On December 8, the game added a new Event creation feature, allowing any players above level 40 to create his own customized tournaments. Rules can be set with a high degree of flexibility, in terms of scoring, matchmaking and more. The community has created more than 10,000 different Events in 3 months, some are based on story-telling, others on guild vs guild.
On December 18, 2009, the creation of mission mode was released. Completing missions gives players a new way to receive cards, Clintz, and Credits. There are more than 500 missions with more being released with every new clan, as well as for a few characters within each clan. These missions also include Legendary Missions, a series of four or five missions related to the clan, which will award the player a Legendary card upon completion (Credits if the player already has such the card). Legendary Missions are unlocked every few weeks or so, and last about a month.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schelling or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
