Release 013 - Golden Week

[lucathia_rykatu]

♥ News ♥May. It is the month when this community was made and prejoin started. My brain was fried from writing my thesis, so somehow I thought it would be brilliant to start a multifandom TCG (when I was supposed to be writing my thesis). I wasn't actually going to start it because it was just some half baked idea, a sudden whim, but after some

FIRST!

Btw, if you're still here... I might as well be nice and offer my opinion!

For the special cards, I like the naming system the way it is. When I see the card, I know it's a special card by the double borders. I don't really need a text prefix to distinguish special cards, but that's just me. I'm fine with whatever you decide, but just remember that's a lot of cards to rename! For people that have a lot of special cards, that could be a hassle, and some players may not even make the switch over to the new card names.

So if I, say, traded for a special card with Allmia, and she didn't change all her special cards to "sp_xxx", then I'd have to do it myself or just continue the non-renaming trend. :P

Also, can we take our opinion special card from the same special deck in our release claim? (That's worded terribly, and I'm sorry!)

I'm about to be away. XD;

I mostly add my cards through my logs (I log the card, and then I add them to my card post, so I'm usually not looking at what the cards look like). I pretty much know which cards are special and which are not, so I can do it this way, but I don't know about other people, but I guess most add cards while actually seeing the card? XD;

Yes, you can take the special card from the same deck as...your release claim. Whatever that means. XD; Any special card is fine, basically. XD

Re: BIRTHDAY!

Happy birthday! :D

I think the special cards being labeled that way might be a good idea? Just so people don't have to look them up. Although I'm fine with the special cards staying the way they are. XD I'll be taking Dog Tags14!

I was so excited for this release, there are so many things I want to collect. I'll be taking Shen Long01, Rafale03, Iceland03, Stern02, Superior07, Observe08, Schwarzer04, Aristocrat02 and Hamha10! ♥

I still can't believe we are close to a year, it does not feel like a year has passed at all. XD;

[lucathia_rykatu]

I'm not in charge of anything that needs to distinguish between character and special decks, but Masteries and Recycled Art would probably benefit most since a lot of the time they only deal with deck names instead of having the images of the cards available. Though for Masteries, if we use a separate form for mastering special decks, that'd probably help!

I don't know where the year went. XD;

Referral!!

To be honest, the special cards work fine the way they are. And I'm easily confused by small things. /sob No, I'm jk. I like them the way they are but if enough people like the idea, I'll be cool with it! Taking hamha20! :3

Taking... rafale09, whaleshark07, iceland10, stern09, pervert10, explosives09, iceblue04, shenlong10, hamha01 (special), hamha02 (donated), and yellow14 (donated) !!

Thanks for the referral!

Meh I don't really like the idea of naming special cards in a distinguishing way, mostly because it would be rather annoying for someone like me who uses a TCG manager. It's fairly easy to look up which ones are special decks anyway, plus the border is there.

While we're on the subject of using a TCG manager, it might be helpful to have the special cards in a separate .zip folder? I usually have to manually separate them from the batch because they're going to a different directory. It's not all that important if they're not, but it'd be nice (especially in months like this one where we have a ton of special decks in the release)

takin algorithm05, left01, magatama01, cascade05, empathy12, empress05, kazoku16, henshin11 and kazoku03 for donating, and then kazoku08 for opinionating

[lucathia_rykatu]

So someone is actually using the zips. I haven't heard much at all about them after I started doing them, so I was wondering if they were completely unnecessary.

[00zags]

oh trust me I was very happy you were providing them XD

also in regards to this months' zip, the only henshin card included was henshin04. Also the file name for kinkan09 was wrong, it still had the underscore in there, instead of the last n I think, but I'm not sure cause I fixed it before I noticed.

[lucathia_rykatu]

Oh oops, the henshin cards are all scattered over my computer since they were made differently, one by one, and not in photoshop. Guess I'll have to get that zipped fixed. XD;
