Mod Pay January 16 - January 31  
Mod Pay
Hi mods, please list what you've done between the January 16th and January 31st period to receive your mod pay! List permanent posts and then games, and don't forget to include what you've covered for someone else if you've done any of that~

Deckmaking
Deck makers, please have your decks in by the end of February 3rd, my time (GMT -8). Can someone tell me who's making Seto Kaiba's deck? I have no idea who has it anymore. XD;; I'll check in with you all again after the deck donation deadline passes in case we have any more donations to distribute among deck makers, and you can tell me at that time if you have any plans for more decks (not from donations). There is no limit. I just ask that whatever you list, you must be positive that you can have it made by the 3rd. :3 (Browsing Advent Calendar day 3 is an awesome way to see what people might want to see for decks!)

Card List
Okay, so I am super bad with PHP and have not figured out how to use any TCG managers. ^^;; I've pretty much given up on it and don't really want to switch anymore at this point (since we already have 700+ decks). I've gotten suggestions about sorting decks by color, and I think this is a great suggestion, except I won't be able to manage 8 separate deck lists. I figure since we have plenty of mods and players, I can ask for help with managing manual deck lists since they only need to be updated with each release, meaning once a month. But before we get into that, I want to know, how do you want your decks displayed? What do you think of the current deck list, and do you feel there's a better way of displaying the decks? I thought maybe decks by series would be nice, but I also think the secondary deck list already does that well enough.

Decks by color would either have to be like the first card list, except it'd only have decks from that color displayed, or I could display all of the 1st card of each deck from that color (without listing the series or the characters), OR I could possibly combine the two somehow, but I'm not sure how that might look. If you have any suggestions for how the card list should look, let me know!

edit: possible ideas
edit2: added a third example with fluid tables! I think my preference at the moment is...

Ace Attorney (try 2) / Red (try 1) -> These will be easy to maintain because they're just like the other deck lists. We'll only need to copy and paste, and the info is pretty clear. You can either choose to browse the decks in list form or in image form.

Ace Attorney (try 1) - > Having the image next to the other info makes it easier to connect the character and their appearance. It's a little different from the current deck list formats, but not too much so it won't be too hard to maintain, but this doesn't work too well for sorting by color (because we'd have to make separate sections for each series).

Ace Attorney (try 3) - > This uses fluid tables and is very hard to maintain because the coding is completely different. XD; But, what do you all think? How does it look? =x

If you have other ideas, please let me know!

edit3, haha: Maybe Ace Attorney try 1 for series, and the Red one as it is for decks by color?

EDIT4: I'm experimenting some more with the first way for displaying series, but the site is down at the moment, so I'll have to play around with it some more later!

edit a million: We'll have a sort by color list this month for now! :3

I tried it out! How does it look? (It's in the same link)

I made another row for the deck name, but that looked totally funky, so I took that out.

Hmmm... I think if the Series names were bolded to just make them stand out a bit more it would look good. ^__^

Oo, yeah, bold font would help. XD
