Mod Pay - Deckmaking for Release 006  
Well, I already know who's supposed to get how much this time (Laxis gets 4 random cards and also donation rewards for southitaly). But since I made the majority of the decks for Release 006, I think it's probably a bit much to give myself that many cards. I think I will cut my pay in half this time. ^^;; I hope next time will be different. =P

Anyway, when you see this Laxis, please comment with what you made and such and I'll give you your mod pay!

I put the current donations on the upcoming list and haven't claimed any of them yet even though there are some I would love to make. I think I'll take a short little break. XD; Deckmakers, if you see something you'd like to claim, please do!

Eri, there's a donation for Sonohara Anri which you've already listed. I believe you needed images?

I will be passing out all mod pay (previous post included) after I wake up!

Wow, were you the only one who made decks besides me and my 4 pieces this time? XD;;

I made South Italy, Spain, Sealand and France. And I donated South Italy.

I don't think you need to cut your pay in half, it's only fair... IMO. XD It would be funny though, you'd suddenly have lots of cards (to trade, it would boost the card economy, lol!)

Haha, yeah. XD; I think that means I made...82 decks? *dies* All of you suddenly got busy at the same time. =P I didn't touch any of the unclaimed decks until maybe...a week later? I started with series I knew first (D.Gray-man) and then after I went back and started making all the decks in the order they were donated. It was a slow process, but amazingly, either I had way too much time, or I am getting faster at this, lol.

For deckmaking!


For donating images for South Italy.



Ahahaha, that'd be a lot of cards for me. But I guess it doesn't make sense to penalize myself for making the decks? >__> I'll probably change my trading rules to make it very, very easy to trade with me, as I'm sure this will get some new cards in the mix that people will want. XD

(And I see just from your cards here that you have stuff I'd want, ahhhh) XDD

Wow, you have my respect XD I knew kaze was gone but I didn't know Eri wasn't here either! 82 decks... almost 3 decks a day? XD
I noticed that with the new template etc. I'm pretty fast compared to my earlier decks. I sort the pictures first now and number them before starting, so the time with Photoshop alone is about half an hour for just making the deck. (Then of course checking, correcting, changing the card order etc. takes time too... XD)

Thanks >D

Yes, I think you should stay with your normal rewards, it would be fair and it's not like you'd have too many cards then. I think you would still be behind Tari, haha. %D When I saw a while ago she was already level fruits, I was like O___O
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 09:57 pm (UTC)
In the end, Eri ended up very busy, so it was just me. XD; I'm hoping this month will be different, but then, you're starting Uni! D: LOL, average 3 decks per day...I mostly made them in batches. I'm very glad I revamped the template to make things faster. Otherwise, I might have some cropping and corner mistakes with all those decks I made. XD Ah, sorting the images is another way to do it. :D I don't sort them though. I just go through them and pick out the ones that fit in the template. I always use the images with better lighting first, skipping the darker images if there are enough images to leave them out. I usually alternate with images between sources (using images from the anime with odd numbers, images from the manga with even numbers) if possible. XD Since the new template doesn't require any cropping, it's easy to paste the images without going at making the cards in order. :3

Yeah, I still wouldn't have the most cards, so I guess I'd be fine! Tari is in Fruits now, the only one so far! *g* When more people get to Fruits, I guess we'll see less leveling since it'll take 200 cards per level. :3

Yeah, I'll have to wait and see how it goes D: If I fail the french exam, I only have one subject, if I make it, I will be busier. XD I also signed up for dancing and taekwondo lessons since it's really cheap for students (and always booked out very early already). I think about 2 decks a week should be possible, it really depends on the time... and the games. To be honest, if there's not enough time and I have to pick between deckmaking and games, I'd prefer deckmaking °° but 1 weekly and 1 biweekly game like it is now after giving up one game should be okay, just distributing rewards sometimes takes more time than making a deck LOL !

Interesting to hear about different "tactics" , haha. XD I usually pick out one of the best pictures for the badge and card # 01. I assign the cards so that not too many similar pictures like anime / same expression etc. are in the same row. But I often judge by how I like the pictures, I only sort extremely dark or light pictures out. XD If the quality is only a bit bad I try to change it. At which point do you decide the border color, from the beginning? 8D

I was like... "Where is Tari?" when I looked at the list and only then noticed she's already Fruits. Some members also passed me and reached gray first. XD
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 10:20 pm (UTC)
I hope you pass!!! Dancing and Taekwondo, how exciting. :3 I remember P.E. lessons were always hard to get into at my university. I only ended up taking step aerobics. Both deckmaking and games are important!! But I imagine the prizes must take a long time to pass out. I have a little taste of that with contest voting and Scrapbook. XD

I pick out the badge and card 01 first. :3 Since card 01 will be on display! Sometimes I end up with similar pictures near each other, which then means I have to move cards around. XD I used to decide the border color from the beginning, but I've had to change the border a lot after the entire deck has been made, so now I generally wait until the end. XD;

Ahahaha. XD; When more people get to Fruits, her name will look less lonely there. XDDD
[identity profile] stillarium.livejournal.com on October 3rd, 2010 10:37 pm (UTC)
Me too but I'm not sure since I didn't study enough. I wasn't really motivated since after all I wanted to study it with chinese and because that suddenly isn't available anymore, I have them separately now. =/ So I guess if I'll make it then good, if I don't make it it's okay too since I can concentrate on chinese. XD
Haha, there were days when I passed out rewards for all 3 of my games at once... I think it took over an hour XD The browser has to load a bit during "Unscreen to reply" etc. etc.

Yes, card 01 is like the cover. XD Always deceivingly shiny and good-looking even if the content isn't as good, just like with mangas and everything D: *lol*
I used to decide the border color in the beginning too, but now I do it at the end or after one / two rows too (and after adjusting contrast/light and colors, since the color looks different yet again then) XDD;

She's an outsider!! D:

I'll miss the fast leveling xD I can't imagine us having thousands of cards... yet XD
lucathia: fishbones: green background[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 10:42 pm (UTC)
Ah yeah, I wouldn't be motivated either. >__>

You don't unscreen all the replies at once when you pass out prizes?

That's funny. XD Card01 is indeed like the cover! Best looking image goes there.

When we get to the Precious levels, leveling will feel like it takes forever. XD; I wonder if I'll ever have to add a set after Precious. I guess that's faaaaar in the future. XD
[identity profile] stillarium.livejournal.com on October 3rd, 2010 11:29 pm (UTC)
I did choose the option with unscreening everything once, but I still had to unscreen the replies one by one after that. Hmh o,o maybe I should try it again next time!

Oh god, I looked at it again... 4800+ cards will be really far into the future lol. (well, it's been about half a year and Tari reached ~ 1000, so with her speed she'd need 2 1/2 years? XD) I wonder how many separate posts one would need by then. Like, a few masteries posts, a few trade piles... lol.
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 11:37 pm (UTC)
Unscreen ALL should work? It makes things go a lot faster! Having to unscreen them individually does not sound fun.

I haven't ever reached 4800 cards in a TCG...most I got to was 3500+ and that already spanned quite a few pages. I'm managing to keep my Colors post small (I like that my trading pile is not huge), but it only works when I'm actively looking and trading stuff away, otherwise, I bet my trading pile will soon get too big. XD

...a few trade pile posts. D: I don't like having to split my trading pile! It should all fit in one post!!
[identity profile] stillarium.livejournal.com on October 3rd, 2010 09:45 pm (UTC)
Oh and which cards would you like? I can hold them for you XD
I bet if you get any Hetalia cards (which is pretty likely with 82+ cards 8D) they will be gone within minutes, haha!

There aren't any cards I collect here, but some look really pretty like forbidden, god and shujin. I tried some anime out thanks to the tcg, like Hakuoki... and it reminded me I have to watch D. Gray-man at last! XD
lucathia: fishbones: pink[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 10:07 pm (UTC)
Those three were the ones I was eying. XD; I'm collecting Shujin! The Bakuman anime just started and I will be squeeing over it every week. XD

I also want to collect forbidden and god, but I don't know if I'm going to start on them immediately. Just holding Shujin will be awesome!

Ahhh, I still want to watch Hakuoki. I've been following the Reborn manga, but with the surge in Reborn decks, I also started watching the Reborn anime. I'm almost done with the anime now. XD; (...that's 200+ episodes, lol)
[identity profile] stillarium.livejournal.com on October 3rd, 2010 10:15 pm (UTC)
Haha XD When I looked at it again, I was all like "I named everyone except the ones I have already mastered (flame, traitor) and the girls" lol

Hehe, maybe if you have enough cards to trade out in your new stuff you can pick up forbidden and god. Sure thing, I'll hold it. I liked the first few chapters of Bakuman, but I haven't been really following it since then!

I can't really recommend Hakuoki XD; But you can take a look to form your own opinion and so we can gossip >D It's pretty but the mary sue-ish main character was so annoying that I dropped it for now after only 3 episodes. It's based on a dating game after all... she just doesn't really fit in, it's so strange to see the (pretty boy) Shinsengumi fight and her running around and treating bleeding wounds with handkerchiefs, lol o_o Maybe I'll continue eventually when I have more time. XD
I didn't really like the Reborn anime, either... XD; They censored too much IMO. =/ But again, eventuallyyyy.... XDDD
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 10:24 pm (UTC)
LOL!

I'm surprised at how long Bakuman is. And it's still going! I don't think it's going to end yet, so it's probably going to be longer than Death Note.

Hahaha. XD; Hm, well, I like La Corda d'Oro, which is also based on a dating sim, so I might like this? But I thought the La Corda d'Oro protagonist was pretty cool compared to other main characters in dating sims.

My main problem with the Reborn anime is all the recaps. Recaps after recap!! But I guess they had to do that so they wouldn't catch up to the manga. I'm so glad I marathoned it instead of watching it week after week. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand the recaps. XD
[identity profile] stillarium.livejournal.com on October 3rd, 2010 11:25 pm (UTC)
What, will it have more than 12 volumes? I think there are about 5 out here so far xD

But La Corda d'Oro seems really cool with the music etc. XD ! The Shinsengumi are cool in Hakuoki too (when are they not? 8D), but the girl... xD

Ohh, sounds like Naruto lol. Recaps sure are annoying. Night Head Genesis, which has only about 25 episodes, has a lot of recaps too, sometimes whole minutes x3;;
lucathia: fishbones: ring[personal profile] lucathia on October 3rd, 2010 11:42 pm (UTC)
Ah, I was thinking in terms of chapters. There are 102 chapters now. Death Note had 108 chapters, I think? Bakuman has more than 9 volumes now, I believe.

It is cool with the music. I liked the series a lot because even though everyone likes the main character, she focuses on the violin more. XDD Strange for a reverse harem protagonist to be so focused on stuff that's not romance! Mm, I hope more Shinsengumi influenced characters make it into this TCG. :D

There are whole episodes in Reborn that are recaps. Like...after a few battles, they find a missing comrade and end up having to fill them in. Recap commences! This happened way too many times. And then, there are also the 5 minute (or longer) recaps that happen at the beginning of each episode. >__>
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 4th, 2010 12:11 am (UTC)
Well here goes. 0____0;;

I made...halloween, loyal, hyper, tattoo, burn, hairclips, illness, wings, fishing, tristan, whiteclown, fangs, womanizer, lotus, experiments, candy, tease, inside, fate, berserker, immortal, taozi, nonchalant, northitaly, prussia, germany, canada, korobokkuru, hell, firetruck, god, perception, outdated, nagi, dynamite, tactician, hahi, illusions, intuition, voi, fiancee, funeral, bear, patch, klarerwind, laevatein, grafeisen, guardian, ninja, fragile, forbidden, apple, president, hunter, turtle, intelligent, manager, meimei, wolf, raccoon, occult, brain, cool, airyglyph, aquarius, taurus, gemini, aries, ecure, falena, pure, combat, power, wisdom, curry, strawberry, crusnik, bigkitty, pureblood, mini, mulberry, spirit.

That's 82 decks = 82 cards, 1 per deck, 8 crayons, 1 per 10 decks. Maaaaaan, everyone. A++++ deck donations. I loved working with the images! I'm still hoping for a Miranda deck for D.Gray-man though...all those donations and no Miranda yet. XD

I also donated images for Wing and Fishing among others!

Second half. I can't believe this didn't fit in the same comment. 0___0;;

Do you want the shujin card I just put on hold for you for south italy12 lol? XD If you still have it >D
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on October 5th, 2010 10:11 pm (UTC)
...I don't have it anymore. XD
[identity profile] orechibisama.livejournal.com on October 4th, 2010 06:59 pm (UTC)
*stalking* God woman how do you do it!? D8>

Haha. I'll go off and see if I can find enough images for Miranda D:
lucathia: fishbones: ring[personal profile] lucathia on October 4th, 2010 09:17 pm (UTC)
And I make 20 decks a month for Twist Serve too. *dies* I hope I don't have to make that many decks this month. XD;

Miranda's my favorite~ <3
