Mod Pay August 16 - August 31  
Mod Pay
Please comment with what you've done for the August 16 - August 31 period to receive your mod pay. As usual, please list permanent posts first, then games. Including links to your posts are helpful. Please let me know if you covered for anyone.

Permanent/Stickied Posts
I started editing the levels/masteries/art shop/art studio/donate a deck posts a bit to reflect the upcoming release. (Portfolios still need to be edited with the new info and options). If you have any questions about the changes, please ask~. The website has not been updated with any info yet.

Currently special deck cards will be like so:
- special cards are obtainable from the randomizer like any other card. The possibility of getting a special card as a reward is the same as getting a normal card.
- special decks can be used to fill two slots on the same Palette Portfolio
- mastering a special deck earns 3 random cards, 1 choice special card, and 1 random crayon. (you cannot ask for a choice special card from mastering a normal deck, nor can you ask for a choice normal card for mastering a special deck)
- you cannot ask for special cards as a choice card from leveling.
- special cards can be acquired with two crayons at the Art Shop, 1 of each color assigned to the deck.
- special cards can be acquired at the Art Studio through a different rate than the other cards.
- special cards can be traded for normal cards among members (and vice versa). The rate of exchange is up to the players. For sketchpad purposes, like always, you get to mark down the number of cards you trade away.
- special decks cannot be donated at the donate a deck post. Players will be able to earn the ability to suggest/donate a special deck through games.

I was going to make rewards for mastering special decks 3 random cards, 1 choice normal card, 1 choice special card, and 1 random crayon, but that's essentially almost like 3 choice cards. But, I'll see if the rewards should be higher after we get the decks in circulation. It's easier to raise rewards than lower them. I don't know what the trading of special cards will look like (I mean, I would totally trade them 1 to 1 whatever the card is, but other people probably don't think the same way), but for now, it won't be limited to normal to normal, special to special trading because there aren't that many special decks to trade. I doubt I'll change it in the future unless it really doesn't work.

The next release will happen after all decks from August have been made. If you have any decks on your list donated by members, please send them in by September 3rd.

Lottery
Not posted yet since I want to wait until after you've introduced special decks, but I figured that prizes for next month's lottery should be decided early to avoid problems of changing prizes later on. xP;
This month's prize - Donation of ONE special deck for the month of October
October's prize - Increase the rewards of completed sketchpads' by one card for the whole of November. Actually, would it be okay to increase by two cards for the whole month instead? Increasing just by one card seems a bit paltry for a grand prize..

The update will most likely be done on the 5th, so you can start Lottery after that. :3 For the special decks, winners can suggest and or donate the deck (donating the deck will earn them rewards like usual) but if they don't want to collect images, they can suggest a deck without donating it and I'll make an effort to try to put that deck together, perhaps with some community help.

October's prize sounds fair. Two cards will be fine, grand prize and all.

When will lottery close?

All right! I'll be sure to note down the part about the donating of special decks.

Since lottery is a monthly thing, my plan is to close the round and give out prizes on the last day of the month. Seems a little too long, but it doesn't make sense to close it early if we're only going to have one lottery per month. ;;
