Title: RFOT - For Player-made Cards! Tournament now Open!
Post by: megamanlan on April 02, 2012, 02:22:49 PM

You heard right! For all of you that loved to make Card ideas, wouldn't you love to actually use them?

Well now you can in this tournament!
The Rules are simple: You can use any Player-Made Card that has at least a +5 on a Player-Made Gallery and is a serious card.

If you want to know how to get your cards into RTS, you can use CEC then save it as an Expansion then just add the Expansion into RTS.
I'll find and post a link for CEC later.

Alright: Week 1 Postings and Rankings

I'd be interested if it were a higher requirement than +2. +4 or 5 would be better, +7 would be the best.

That's too high, because not many people even vote, and that would only put a handful of cards in. This idea is to be somewhat of people being able to actually test their ideas. A +5 or higher doesn't help that it'll hurt it.

If you look at the submissions, I believe you'll find TONS of +5, and even a lot of +7.

*EDIT* I went through and counted. There are 41 cards of +7 or higher just in January's submissions. That's almost a full-sized set. If you lower it even to +5, that'd probably be bigger than any set ever released.

Pretty much any card can be guaranteed at least a few + since people like Sadness just upvote every single card. Having a cap at +5 or +7 will make people much more likely to play, because that's a fair guarantee the new cards aren't rubbish.

Part of it is that basically none of my cards or really any of the cards in the new gallery will see the light of play. (which is partly why I want to do this) I may change it to a +3 but I really want to have the people that don't really get a lot of up votes to have a chance a getting their cards to be seen too.

Edit: I've changed it to +5
