COLORS CHAT #19

[skybuns]

It's time to sit back, relax, and pour yourself an ice cold glass of... milk. All these games are so great and fun but everyone needs a chance to just unwind and talk. So welcome to Colors Chat!

Here, you will get a topic and you can talk about it all you want. Just listen to your heart and write what you feel like. For your six sentences, you'll get 5 cards. And you should always go around and talk to people, see if you can make new friends or old friends with new light on them or you know, just talk with everyone! It is a chat after all.

Today's topic:
Topics for the future! Is there a subject you'd love to see as a topic for Colors Chat in the future? Or maybe there's an old topic you liked and want to see again? Speaking of past topics, was there a past topic you liked?

To encourage discussions between players, there's a bonus - for every conversation that is at least 5 comments long all participants will receive two random cards. This is not limited, so talk to as many people as you wish!

Please keep all comments civil and polite. You might disagree with someone, but please do not start a flame war. THANK YOU and enjoy your weeks!

This round closes on Tuesday, July 29th, but the next Colors Chat will go up on the 27th. CLOSED

I wouldn't mind another way to get more people to actually.... well.... chat. Cards always helps but I wonder if there'd be another way to do it.

As for things, maybe mentioning other games that we play, or TCGs that we miss/how we got started into TCGs as well.

Also, how the heck do you use plurk. Seriously. I see you all mention it, but I have no idea how it works. And I've even seen those little colors buttons and other buttons for tcgs.... please to send help. ;-;

I think the main problem with just getting people to chat is that there's probably those like me who just... find it very difficult to dive into talking for the sake of just talking. Either from social anxiety or just being uncomfortable around people.

It's easier once people GET talking, but... Maybe memes? Such as "Post offering to answer questions, get a card for every two questions you answer" or something to get them motivated to drop in. Then let the chatting take over.



As for plurk... it's actually pretty simple. Do you have an account? If you do, I can talk you through it, if not, make one make one here and then come back.

I've got one now, now it's just trying to figure out what you're supposed to do with it. Is there some sort of guide as to how to add images or notes or things?

[onyxdotexe]

Sadly, no. But it's actually pretty simple.

To add images, you just paste the URL in there. Plurk will convert it to the image. If you want to upload it, just click the little landscape portrait icon and upload it that way.

As for notes... I'm not sure what you mean?

[radria]

Well, by notes, I meant like a tutorial or something but I gotcha.

I'll have to try to track down some of those little tcg icons to try to use for things. And, from what I can guess, a lot of people use Plurk to do updates, etc?

....I'll have to do some more exploring on it this weekend when I've got some more time on my hands.

[onyxdotexe]

Tutorial, hmm... actually, yes!

Here's a tutorial to give you some idea, and there's another one on there somewhere. If those don't help, let me know!

But exploring and playing with it is the best way to do something. Mine is GospelTrigger, if I can help!

[radria]

Awesome, thank you so very much!

I'd like to look things over this weekend (when free time exists!) so I'll definitely look these things over and check out your plurk as well (hopefully, I'll have something done with mine then, and then I can share it with people because it's quite bare at the moment)

Thank you so so very much for all the support and help!

[onyxdotexe]

I'm always glad to help out! ^-^ It sucks trying to figure out everything on your own and pffft I even had to have my hand held through Colors up until recently, so I understand being confused.

[skybuns]

Here's your bonus!

Here's your bonus!

[skybuns]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Problem is, a lot of us are busy, or don't live in the same timezone, or prefer not to talk with others. At least, on dw. Plurk seems to be a better medium for chatting, since everyone blabs a lot there.

Those ideas are pretty good, I'll note them down!

Thanks for your suggestions!
