Mod Pay July 1 - July 15  
Hi mods! Please comment with what you've done between the July 1 to July 15 period to receive your mod pay. Please comment with permanent posts first and then games, and let me know if you've covered for anyone!

Also let me know if anything has changed hands, or if any games have changed days of the week~.

During our Anniversary event, there were two suggestions that I thought would be quite helpful and perhaps necessary. One is finding a way to help newer players out, and another is coming up with other ways of earning the chance to donate a special deck, perhaps a limited number that would still keep our special decks at a much smaller number than character decks but would allow for more than just Scrapbook decks being released each month. My thoughts were as follows!

1) Helping newer players out -> Maybe a series of newbie games that introduce players to various aspects of the TCG (a "welcome party" hosted by the Colors characters?) that would be open indefinitely. They would be playable by players that have joined for less than two months or have less than 200 cards. Players can comment with a link to the card post, and we'd drop rewards there. Something like that... or perhaps we want to design games that don't require us to pass out rewards since we'd have to tend to them indefinitely... And perhaps we can allow all players to play the games. They'll just be open forever so that people who join later can still play them to boost their trade pile. Let me know your thoughts!

2) Other ways of donating a special deck -> I really want to run some kind of shopping street hosted by the Colors characters (that'd happen only once a while), and donating a special deck could be one of the things that can be bought! Or, we could have some kind of special deck idea pool (probably only during months where we can't already earn special decks another way)? I remember this was suggested by someone before. Perhaps we can have people toss in special deck ideas, and then I'll randomize them so we get 5 or so random ideas. Or less if that's too much. Or, (perhaps this can be done at the same time), we can have people vote on suggested ideas, with the most popular ones made. I would like the random idea to be involved too so that less popular ideas also get a chance!

There were also some suggestions for special round ideas for our current games, so browsing Day 14 should be helpful. :D

And I've been trying to post round 29 all day yesterday and today, but LJ seems to hate me. Reward comments won't go through and neither will the post :|;; Hopefully this comment goes through so it means it'll work again.

EXTRA
1) I love this ♥ When you first join a game that's been going on for a while, it's kind of intimidating. Especially such a large one, like Colors. This could ease people into it, get them used to how everything is run. I'll probably have more... constructive thoughts on this once I get some sleep in me. ;;
2) Yes, yes, yes~ A bimonthly or trimonthly thing, perhaps? People could buy certain themed sets of cards or random packs- or all the Colors characters could even have little mini-packs after themselves~ Buying a themed pack from Mikan-tan would give you __ amount of random orange cards, while you'd get red from Akai-san, and so on. Then with the color-neutral characters (Shirocchi and Kurocchi), they could sell the general random packs? Something like that!
Another thought is buying special 'abilities' that would last until the next Shopping Street or however long? Things such as two extra cards from the release (usual release rules still applying), or a free-pass for a weekly or a biweekly game (given something to identify the purchase or just link to it, receive rewards without knowing the answer, or given the answer?)
I'd be willing to help out in any way with it, since I think it's a neat little addition. Not as a permanent post or something routine, but every now and then would be fun.


I also like the idea of having some kind of special deck pool in those months where it's not a reward (that section of the release kind of feels bare during those times). Random is better, I feel, or maybe people can vote or "second" an idea and it gets an extra ballot in the randomizer?

I have yet to comment on this particular one myself, oops! But I do use this to check in with people, so try to comment in a timely manner. XD; It looks like Spare Parts 46 was posted after July 15th, so be sure to include that round with your next mod pay!

Thanks for picking up Host Club! :) LJ is hating everyone at the moment. I hope this stops soon. I just passed out some donation rewards for decks... and that was painful with much refreshing needed... I don't think I will be tackling any of my other posts at the moment if this keeps up. >__>



Thank you for your thoughts on the extra stuff! :D The themed packs is a great idea. *___*
