opening tentatively set to June 2!

Hello mods. :) The decks are coming along (I'm pretty sure we'll reach 50 upcoming decks by next week and surpass that number), but since I'll be gone next weekend for my local anime convention, I won't be around for the grand opening until June 2nd. Deckmakers, if you have decks you want released on June 2nd, please get them to me before the end of the month! Otherwise, I'll release them for July's update.

After opening, all game mods may start posting their games! So be ready~. However, please don't all post on Wednesday, June 2nd. XD; Pick a day of the week that you think you'll probably be able to update on consistently. Mods who are taking care of permanent posts should make sure they have the posts tracked! :3

More than one of you expressed hopes of seeing some kind of membercard. I made a very simple one:

What do you think? XD; It's merely a solid border instead of a dotted one (plus no number since it's a membercard). I was thinking of switching up the dark and light colors with the dark color on the outside and the light color on the inside...but it didn't turn out too well. I'll probably save other variations for possible special decks in the future. I'm thinking of calling these...artist tags. Anyone have a better name suggestion? XD I'll set up a post in the community for these, but I don't plan on making these myself. Would anyone like to help us make these? I think one person will be enough...more than that might be confusing. These will not be limitless as I do not believe in limitless membercards, but I'll make them acquirable through exchanging cards and trading in crayons.

If anyone's wondering about modpay, I'll be making a post here in the mod community every week (or perhaps every two weeks) where you let me know what you did that week in regards to mod duties. If you didn't post a game that week, that means you don't get pay for that game that week. I will have some kind of pay system where you get rewarded for consistently doing your job. :)

I've yet to advertise the place, so I'm pretty surprised at how many people are here already. This must be thanks to all the referrals! XD; (I'm still trying to fix the website, haha. Darn IE!)

Whoop! I'm so excited for the opening! *O*

I'd like to help with member cards, please. XD And the solid border looks good! I don't have any name suggestions right now, but if I come up with any, I'll be sure to post here again.

I'm planning to post my games on Sunday morning [GMT+8], which is about Saturday-ish for everyone else, I think? I still don't have my school schedule yet for my next semester lmao, so Sunday is really the only day when I know I'll be free. XD;

I'll send you the template later then! Via PM! :3 Hm, but you don't use photoshop, right? Hopefully you can figure out a way to get the template working for you. ;)

After I decide on a name, I'll make a post in the community. You'll have to track that post. I guess you'll have to upload the cards to your own imagehost, but I'll be saving them too so I can upload them to the website later.

Weekend games sound good. :) I've had to change the days of the week I posted my games at

twistserve_tcg many times since my schedule keeps changing. XD; It's all right if you have to change the day at a later date too~.

Can do! I'll be sure to give the template a try and see if I can make it work. :D

Also, I really like

eternalkanda's suggestion - I was bouncing naming ideas with my friend [[

chuukoku]] and she also came up with autographs. She also suggests caricatures/charactures.

And I'll keep that in mind! XD

Sent the template with some instructions! :)

Got your PM! :D I'm planning to make some examples to show you - should I PM you for that or just leave the examples here?

And also, something I've been meaning to ask for the card matching game - is it okay if I directly copy 5 cards for the game from the generators, or should I upload the cards to my photobucket?

lucathia on May 21st, 2010 06:47 am (UTC)

Either way works. :3

You can directly copy the cards!

Thanks! That was the only thing bothering me since I wasn't too big on hotlinking without permission. XD;

Finally made some examples for the signatures too. All I needed to do was to make a few tweaks and the template worked perfectly. c: How are they?

They look good! :3 I especially love the 2nd one. I'll let players choose their own colors though, so the colors might not match so nicely with the pics they choose. XD; Would you like players to tell you two colors (one for the light color and one for the dark color) or should I just ask them for one color, and you can pick a lighter or darker shade of that?

I think I might even like this template better than the one I use for the normal character decks. XD;

ratiosu.livejournal.com on May 22nd, 2010 01:17 am (UTC)

Oh, that's great to hear! I think it'll be easier for me if you could ask them to pick just one colour - either shade is fine with me - then I can work my way around with what the players want. XD

And it was a really fun template to work with, for sure. xD It's a simple and effective design.

I've made the post! You can start tracking it now. :) Everyone starts out with three copies for free.

maybe signatures for the cards? should i post one biweekly the first week and the other the second?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

lucathia on May 21st, 2010 05:36 am (UTC)

Hm, that's a thought!

Are you talking about your games? Two of yours are biweekly, and one is weekly. You don't need to post reminders about Host Club Giveaway, but you could post a reminder during the second week for Switch It Up so that people know they can switch another card for the second week.

You can either choose to start all of your games at the same time, or you could stagger them. :3 Whatever works for you!

O: ID cards look awesome. ♥♥♥ lol;

So June 2nd...*A* CANT WAIT..

_{If anyone joins while your gone, I can take care of starter packs but idk if you'd wanna trust me with the website >__>;; lol;; That'd be where that nifty new members post comes in handy yes? XD;;; If you need someone to take care of it XD lol;;}

I think I'll post the crossword on a sunday XD and then the seiyuu guess in the middle of the week. just so all the games don't happen to be on the weekends XD

I only changed the dotted line into a solid one, but I think this will distinguish them enough from the normal cards. |D

Haha, I'm sure there won't be that many new members for just that weekend, but still, if you'd like to help, that'd be great. XD; I won't be without my computer or anything since it's my local convention and I'm staying at home, but I'll probably drop dead after each day of walking. Could you cover Friday the 28th to Monday to 31st? :3 I'll update the members list when I come back~

That sounds good!

orechibisama.livejournal.com on May 21st, 2010 03:17 pm (UTC)

XDD;; Yeah. I'll cover that |D I wish we had a local con. Have fun <3 <3 <3

Yay opening!

Hmmm... I may have to post my game on the 2nd at least for the 1st and second round if I want to be around to pass out prizes since I'm going to be on vacation between the 16-25 and quite possibly won't have access to the internet. I may or may not move it once I get back depending on when all the other games are posted.

That sounds fine! Just make sure you post it after the opening post. :3

I think I'll probably post my games on Saturdays my time, since that's a very uncommon day for me to work! Also, I think I will call my mascot game "Poké Radar" after all- I think I can get it to work. XD

I've been absolutely slammed with real life this month though, so I haven't gotten a chance to make very many decks. I'll try to make more by the end of the month, though, and if I can't, I'll just send you the few I have. ;A;

lucathia on May 21st, 2010 10:33 pm (UTC)

That sounds good! Yay, Poké Radar. XD; I just started playing Soul Silver and reminiscing about playing Red. XDD

That's quite all right. You haven't sent anything yet right? I want to make sure nothing got eaten up by my email. XD Whatever decks you finish, please send them to me before the end of the month if you'd like to see them for June. :3
