Updates, Reminders + Question
Just some updates, more reminders and a question!
1. Fixed card errors! There were several card errors in the latest release! We deeply apologize for the mess-up. The cards have been fixed and can be found here - the card zips are also updated as soon as the cards are fixed. To get to the cardfix page, there's a link in the box on the current card list with the card zip for Marfisa's and the pending cards.
So far, irinomiyu17 and lalala17 have been corrected; if you find any more card errors, be sure to report them over at the Error Report post. Thank you!
2. Album sheet tasks! Please take note that *all* tasks require you to start from scratch. Only tasks done after your album sheet application count towards the task completion, and this includes maxing of deck and graphic donation limits. If you maxed out your deck and graphic donation limit for the month before your album sheet application, then they do not count towards your task completion. This goes for all other tasks as well!
That said, it looks like there was some confusion over what counts and what shouldn't count for deck donation limit tasks, so just for players who applied for your album sheets before this post, I'll give you a concession - if you already maxed out your deck donation limit for this month before applying for your album sheet, I'll let it count towards your task completion this time only. Maxing of deck donation limits from previous months still don't count, however.
For all album sheet applications after this post, no excuses! You have to remember that you start from scratch!
3. Aspect ratio of images! Please ensure that your donated images are of the right aspect ratio, otherwise the finished deck may have cards that look too wide or too narrow. Either locate a video clip in the right aspect ratio, or make use of VLC Player's aspect ratio settings and set it to the correct ratio, or use batch resizing programmes like the Fotosizer tool to tweak your images [many thanks to wolfie for the suggestion!]. Do check your images and make sure they look all right!
4. Order of player names for mastery? This may be a pretty sensitive topic, heh. I would like to know your opinion about the order of player names to be used in the mastery sections of the card page.
First off, I'm worried about the possibility of competition for first masteries among players. I trust all of you here, but I also feel that first masteries can lead to stress and undesirable player behaviour, which goes against the spirit of TCGs.
So one idea I considered was to list player names in alphabetical order. It doesn't completely remove the possibility of first masteries, but at least it would make it harder to provide proof.
Or I can continue to list them in the normal chronological order, and keep a lookout and make sure no one tries to cheat for masteries.
What do you think? Would you prefer alphabetical or chronological listing for mastery names? You may take one random card from the randomizer when you comment with your thoughts! Be sure to include the cardname in your comment.
That should be all for now; as usual, if you have any more questions, I'm more than happy to provide answers!
