Release Notice & Updates
This probably won't be a surprise to anyone, but unfortunately the December release is being postponed to January 1st. The busyness of the holidays, Shannon and Kiss both going through some stressful things, and we're down 2 mods. Kiss will not have home internet come January. We're in an even bigger bind than usual this month.
To help keep the workload light until we get new staff, the Dec/Jan donation set will be closed after we've reached 70 regular, 15 puzzle, and 15 special donations. I feel awful that there will be some players that won't get a chance to donate this month, but we cannot do over 100 decks in our current situation. This is also a precuation since I can't be completely certain on how quickly we'll choose new deckmakers.
After the donation limit has been hit, donations will not reset until February 1st and will close again on February 24th. This will be the new monthly donation deadline. The regular donation limit will be lowered to 2 decks per player (4 decks per deckmaker) each month. New releases should come out on the first or second week of the month.
I will put up applications for mod and deckmaker positions in the second or third week of January. We will need 3 mods and 2 deckmakers.
And onto some better news!!
We WILL be switching to automated games and services, and Rizu has generously offered to mod the scripts for us! In fact, she's pretty much finished the scripts for the join form, level ups, and masteries. Players will be required to re-join so they can sign into our website to fill out forms and edit info. I will make a more detailed post on what everyone needs to do and how this weekend, but I'll tell y'all now you'll get cards and currency out of it. I'd recommend holding off on submitting any new level ups and masteries for now.
Unlike most automated TCG's, you won't have to check the site for game updates. We will continue to post them to the community and have players comment with their earnings to keep that community feeling. Whether we'll do weekly sets or post individual games like usual is currently undecided. There will still be several manual games and some manual services (such as donations, the shop, exchange, and claims).
What this basically boils down to is players will no longer have to wait for their prizes from most games, wait on me to update their information, and we will hopefully have more consistent and early releases. We truly thank you all for always supporting us and being patient with us.
