Notices + Questions

[kumoi]

The release will be out later than expected due to unfinished decks. One of our deckmakers is going through a rough time and needed to quit. We will be working hard to try and get the release out sometime next week, though. Since we'll be late and February is the shortest month, I will leave the release (#10) up for a whole month, regardless of when the next release (#11) is put up.

I will be stepping down as head mod come April and going on hiatus. Of course, only after I've ensured there is someone/s to take my place. My anxiety has been worse than usual lately, and Himitsu's become a source of extra unneeded stress. I feel it's better for myself, the TCG, and the players to have someone in charge that would enjoy the position. I've already hit up the staff, but if no one offers within a week, I'll make a post to the main community. If it comes to that, I'll only be looking for someone who has experience in some sort of mod position in TCG's. I just want to let everyone know in advance.

A question for members collecting Aikatsu decks: Should I change the master badges of Maria, Mizuki, Mikuru, Akari, and Sumire to feature the images from their BD covers now that they all have one? This would make them match the other Starlights + Sora.

And to anyone looking for extra cards, I'm in need of donations for another TCG I'm very leisurely working on with bats. I have no set prejoin donate because, like I said, anxiety eating My Soul and I need a while to sit down before officially opening anything; but doing the setting up process at a chill pace w/ no deadline is weirdly relaxing. A-NY-WAY. 4 donations per person and I'll give everyone 3 random cards (from my trade pile) per donation. Go over here to donate.

I'm sorry to hear that. You're an amazing head mod but I fully get the whole anxiety thing. You need to do what is best for you and your health!

I'll see about donating something for your TCG though. I'm not exactly sure what but I'm sure I can find something!

I also have to ask, why not hire another deckmake to pick up the slack?

[kumoi]

Thank you, Riri.

I'll be hiring another one after the release is up. I didn't want to throw a sudden heck ton of work to do in a small amount of time at someone that's not even on staff yet. Thankfully the rest of us are free, so we've managed to split up the work between ourselves.

[ririsnow]

You're welcome!

Umm... for donations though, are you looking for anything specific? Also the 'upcoming' link doesn't seem to work on the page?

^^ That's good to know!

[kumoi]

Just any characters you would be interested in collecting if you were a member. Annnd that's probably because I forgot to fix the settings/used wrong link oops. It should work now.

[ririsnow]

Hmmmm... ^^ I have tonnes of deck donation sets, that's the problem! Picking which! haha

But thanks for the link! If I don't get donations to you tonight I'll post them to you tomorrow! Soon as I pick through the 100-odd files I have. >.>

Really, anytime is cool since I'm working on it Super Slowly (like I started this in September slowly). Thanks again!

Changing the mastery badges seems like a lot of work for both you and the players who've mastered those decks. I'd say no, based on that. If you're stepping down due to anxiety (which I'm with Riri on this! You do what's best for you) and stress, you don't need to pile more on for yourself.

Saying that, I'm sorry to hear that you're stepping down. But you do what you need to, and we'll be here supporting your decision because your health is more important than a tcg. ♥

Though haha damn. Riri and I have been planning something similar in the tcg department.

Ehh, masters really only take two minutes to do. I was just wondering if everyone was as anal as me about ~matching or are chill with 'em. I get what you're saying, though.

Thank you, Venice.

In regards to mixed media or relationships or both? Can never have enough of either tho imo, but I am a shipping fool.

[venicism]

They do? I'm such a noob to deckmaking orz bigger graphics have always been my forte.

Mixed media! I got tired of wanting to collect superheroes and stupid kid cartoons (like Storm Hawks or Fairly Odd Parents) and no one had them, so I was all "psst Riri help!" XD so we're also doing games/anime/animated movies/cartoons etc. \o/

[kumoi]

Yeah, since masteries alone involve just one image. Full-on decks on the other hand... prob about 30-40 minutes depending on the image quality and how focused you are.

Ohhh, nice! I get what you mean... The last mixed media TCG I was in closed only a few months after I joined, and I've missed it since then. Throw in my Shipper Heart and boom. Good luck with the TCG!

[venicism]

Thank you! You too when you get yours opened :3

I'm sorry to hear you'll be leaving but I absolutely understand. Thank you for the advance notice!
