Release 012 - April! over 1000 decks!

[lucathia]

♥ News ♥

It's April! The start of another new month! Tax season for many! I've finished filing my taxes. ♥ I would say I'm on top of things, but it's actually my dad who's on top of things. :D I hope everyone else is conquering those taxes too if you have taxes to do.

On a completely different topic from taxes, which is not a fun topic at all, this month, we have two new deckmakers, Hana and Zags! *claps* You can already admire some of their decks in this release. :) Thank you all who applied and all who expressed interest in helping! There were a great many applications. It was awesome (and even more so since I gave everyone such a short application period)! And oh so hard to make a decision. I kind of went back and forth for a good 2 hours before I could finally make a decision. :') I am hoping I will not have to call on back-up anytime soon, but I will definitely keep that post in mind in case we need back-up! So if you could keep your application up to date, that would be great~ (I don't know if screened comments can be edited?). If you have not submitted a deckmaker application but would like to, the application post for backups is open indefinitely. :D It is tagged under "mod" if anyone wishes to go looking for it at a later date.

Oh, oh, have you noticed that the website layout has changed? It's Aoi-sama time! :D ♥ Though I guess I can't really call this changing the layout since it's still the same layout. XD; Now that we have all 8 members of Colors though, we could perhaps have a layout featuring all of them one day. That would be very cool. :) Remember everyone, Design Shirocchi and Kurocchi! is open until April 22. Get those submissions of mascots in by then~. I can't wait to see everyone's ideas. I also have a half-made deck of Akai-san that's only missing around 5 images and the master badge. You all know what that means right? Submit more art and fic~!

Mm, for those of you who use TCG managers or would just like all of our cards at once, here is a zip of this month's new cards! Do people find this useful or not useful? Please let me know. :D

Lastly, another question for everyone! Would you mind seeing an animated deck? It would be of short, memorable scenes (there'd be a theme). I ask because animation might be annoying for some? :3 But I hope one deck won't be too intrusive. By answering this question, you may take one 04 character card. That means a card that ends with 04! :) (edit: This is the deck in question~. Feel free to share further thoughts!)

Annnd, I believe that's all I have to say for now. :3;; LJ is being a little wonky, so be careful with your card posts. <3

We have lots of decks this release, eeeee, pushing us quite a bit past the 1000 decks mark. I do believe last month's donate an extra orange or gray deck priviledge from Pot of Gold contributed to this. And all of our new members. :D It seems that Gray has pretty much caught up, Red has shot way ahead, and Orange is sadly trailing very, very far behind. (Mikan-tan cannot believe this blasphemy. Akai-san is smug in knowing that his color seems to be the most popular). So yeah. Again this month, it would be awesome indeed to see more orange decks donated. :D

Grabbed gakuran18[My donation], gakuran14, slacker18, whisker05, maiden07, sayo18, madness17, ballerina04, madamered07, cocky04 from the new decks.

Oooo, I really like the idea of an animated deck. It's something different and would bring a cute charm. My only concern would be the loading factor...but than again I love gif and if things don't load right I just reload till they do XD...stealing claw04, thank you.

[harumonia.livejournal.com]

An animated deck would be pretty cute!

I'll be taking Gakuran 01 (donated), Nero 02, Virgil 05, Madame Red 06, Lucky 17, Ecstasy 15, Wish 07, and Classical 19 please.

[kearin.livejournal.com]

Grabbing sensor02, bk-20106, anchor08, slacker10, blacklynx08, jyuuken06, cheri19, impulsive20, gakuran07.

referral!

[magaru]

I like the idea of an animated deck! Would it be made like the Scrapbook decks and would the master badge be animated as well? I doubt I would collect it, because I already have so many decks, but I think that it's a good idea :D

Slots:
rhythm01, author15, cipher02, shattered14, aptx486901, conquer05, fairy07, akatsubaki10 and sailorfuku08 as my special card. Also taking gakuran17 thatI donated and uranus04 as my 04 card :D

[cherryxjelly.livejournal.com]

sorry, I'll be taking rhythm19 instead of rhythm20.
I made a mistake ; ^ ;"
Is that ok? :C

[admiral]

I think an animated deck would be cute, I wouldn't mind it. :3 (snagging dancer04)

Taking slacker02, author11, pyo16, nyu12, wish07, ecstasy17, sayo15, enigmatic07, gakuran03, thank you!

Re: referral!

[lucathia]

Thank you for the referral!

The master badge would be animated too, yes, and the idea is that it would be a Scrapbook round, though I'd have to work out the specifics of that. XD;

[joey788.livejournal.com]

I'll take Author01, Ballerina01, Sultry05, Naive01, Rhythm06, Sand18, Albhed01, Conquer09, and SailorFuku02.

As for animated decks, I think it's an excellent idea as long as some instructions are provided for those inexperienced. Grabbing Perfection04.

[taminas.livejournal.com]

Grabbing Sailor Fuku 20 as my special card!

[piraskel.livejournal.com]

An animated deck sounds interesting! I wonder what kind of theme you would impose on it...

I like so many decks from this release! Great job to all the deck makers!

I'll be taking sand05, author07, littledevil12, aptx486902, classical03, thepaper10, flirt02, and wish05 with sailorfuku12 as my special card. And lieutenant04 for the extra 04 card! I'll also take sailorfuku15 for donating it!

[stopping.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, an animated deck would be adorable ;w; Well, depending on what series were used, of course... any ideas in mind for what sorts of gifs might be used?

Methinks I shall be kidnapping BK-20101, gakuran02 [which I donated!], gakuran03, slacker04, madamered05, wish06, classical07, cocky08, exceed09, and yamato10. Thanks!

An animated card deck could be interesting, but it may eat up a lot of storage (though, that can easily be solved with a separate account for images). It seems that most people are on board, I look forward to seeing what happens!

* Madame Red 04 for the response orz

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

Taxesss... yes, and my parents are really on top of things, so we got ours done already. Parents, what would we do without them? T-T

Whoo to deckmakers (and the crazy amount of decks here... and everything). This TCG is amazing. T-T

I have a fond memory about animated decks so I say go for it. :DDD I'm sure there are a million memorable scenes to choose from. @_@

I'm grabbinggg:

akatsubaki11, food12, enigmatic09, childish10, author02, camera08, wish17, cocky06, gakuran15 (special), pureblood04 (04 card)

*hugs tight* T-T9

[lucathia]

Storage on my end is no problem (and it'd be just one deck), but do you mean storage on the players' end? :3 I tried making a sample, and it was considerably larger in file size than our usual cards, but if people can load multiple icons on comment pages without a problem, these cards shouldn't be a problem either, both with loading and with storage. There seems to be enough positive responses for me to seriously consider the idea, but I'll have to see what I can do about concerns people have raised. :3 *will try to do her best to keep the file size down for one!*

[lucathia]

Yes, parents, what would we do without them? D: I still have much to learn.

I'm kind of amazed too. 1000 decks. :O And still more coming. Card flow is still fast though, so we can support that many decks. :3

Haha, you know my skill (or er, lack of skill) with animated decks. That is sort of how things will turn out, but hopefully improved. (I'm glad that resulted in fond memories? XD

*hugs*

[disutansu.livejournal.com]

As do I. OTL And it feels like we don't/won't ever have time learn everything.

Already over 1000 and it's not even been a year yet right? o.o But whoo, I look forward to all the decks. :D

Welllll Twist Serve's one looked real good. :3 Did like that one so can't wait to see how this one will turn out~

*squish*
