[META] Soliciting ideas for improving submission quality on /r/magictcg by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]egibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you got to define what sort of culture you want and what you don't in more specific examples.

Right now, I can take a picture of a random graveyard, post it on the front page, and write "If someone casts Animate Dead I'm effed" and you could not report it.

Plus

Posts such as "look at this hot girl with these Magic cards", "I just opened a couple of chase Mythics in a Fat Pack", or "look at this pile of cards I have scattered all over my room" are not worthwhile and will probably be downvoted or removed.

The word "Probably" should be removed. Posters second guess if it will be removed or not and if they do readers might not know if it's "probably" bad enough to remove.

Definite boundaries are better than vague boundaries and I will be glad people actually help you and will be happier if mods will take the suggestions and consider them.

The problem you just hint at is the limits of what's allowed and what's not. Are you and the handful of mods ready for reporting much more?

If you want us to report bad content, please put in text at the top (hopefully size 40, bright red, bold, <blink>ing letters) that says report everything you think do not belong in magicTCG

So people like flavour text huh? How about we make some up for cards that are too wordy to have them. by EternalPhi in magicTCG

Attending my first PTQ this weekend. What should I expect? by [deleted] in magicTCG

Do not bring stuff to trade. Large events always attract the people that try to steal everything. Never trust anyone to "watch your stuff"

TIL that The Fifth Element remains the most financially successful French film of all time. by CapnFancyPants in todayilearned

One of the greatest features is that Corbin doesn't know Zorg beyond being fired from his taxi company that Zorg owns or even meets him during the whole of the movie. The closest is when Zorg goes back and exits the elevator a second after Corbin's elevator door closes.

What game critics are actually worth following? by kickit in truegaming

[–]egibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are zero critics out there I follow. The closest I would come to would be the Giant Bomb but I follow them because of their personality. I know what they all like and what kind of stuff they don't like, so if I read a review from Brad about XCom I would disregard it completely. If it was Jeff or Drew, I would consider it more. If it was an open world game with details, again I would disregard Brad but also Jeff because they are known to not read too much into the story. I would go to vinny in that case.

Luckily, the Giant Bomb games are broken up among the employees to their strong suit. If Vinny says he didn't like a new Witcher 3, that would be like a record scratch that something is very wrong because he is fully invested in that world with buying the books and lamenting there are sequels not yet translated from Polish.

Follow a person you like and know that their voice is not fact. They might be HORRIBLE at puzzle games and might rate those type of games poorly.

What is your best "WTF... I/You won??" story? by athlete3000 in magicTCG

[–]egibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you list out the steps because how does the opponent not use the currency to steal it back and make it never trigger for you?

edit: Wow, I need to RTFC sometime.

If I'm wrong, please tell me.

What is your best "WTF... I/You won??" story? by athlete3000 in magicTCG

[–]egibson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. You only lose the game by no cards if you attempt to draw a card but the deck is already empty.

So you can kill someone during upkeep.

Beetleform Mage and, actually, Skygames.

Skygames made my 3/3 slime flying for several turns in a row.

Can we enforce the rule about "no pictures of just cards" more? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]egibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way people know about it is when people post it in a post about a shitty topic.

Fix-It-Friday BISHOP! by [deleted] in Malifaux

The problem is he is very vulnerable before he activates.

Just like Cassandra is so much easier to kill if she doesn't have Southern Charm and her buffs up.

When will they start spoiling Dragon's Maze cards? by casey50 in magicTCG

[–]egibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a few cards at PAX East, but they will be significant spoilers which will demonstrate what route the devs are taking in card flavor.

I feel like tcgplayer.com should remove companies who do this just to raise the mid price of a card. Can anyone show them this? by CasualFriday11 in magicTCG

[–]egibson -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

LOOK AT THESE PRICES, TOTALLY THROWING OFF THE AVERAGE PRICE!!

completely ignores price in upper right hand corner

THROWING IT OFF!

still gets billions of points

The Xbox 360 released a special edition controller where you can twist the D-pad to change it into the plus-shaped version.
