OCG Thread

[.Leo]

OCG means Offical Card Grammar. plz read the hole thread in the spoiler. it is that easy to find

[General Assclown]

Instead of taking away needed resources/threads why not figure out a new solution?

(I don't have any so don't ask)

 

No. This is a wanted resource. Not a need.

 

Yes' date=' it is wanted but also needed to teach newbies about OCG.

 

Also, to I have come up with a new solution to this "OCG problem".

 

It's a long shot and may be hard to get done but worth a try.

 

[spoiler=Solution Idea #1']

Why don't we make a an "OCG Error Check" in the Card Maker? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, it's like the "Spell Check" in Microsoft Word but modified to correct the OCG in Yu-Gi-Oh Cards.

 

The new addition to the Card Maker may stuff up some things like for example, Contests. Everyone will have correct OCG so they have to take that part out of the criteria.

 

This idea may say stupid to some but if it WAS in the Card Maker, we wouldn't have so many people complaining about newbies screwing up their OCG all the time. It will also get rid of some flaming (since some flaming is caused by OCG) on new-comers cards.

Did you even read the Thread Starter?

I do not, nor ever will believe that OCG is do or die. Nor a need.

More a want of professionalism. Nothing more. Nothing less.

 

Telling someone correct OCG is akin to telling them to stfu and speak better.

Enough to get it across is way more than gratifying. This is a wanted resource. Not a need, under any definition.

I understand what you're saying but there are many people on this site that will just ignore the fact that "Telling someone correct OCG is akin to telling them to stfu and speak better".

 

Some people will never learn but if someone corrects someone else's OCG wouldn't be like "telling them to stfu and speak better" but more of helping each other perfect their cards. Unless of course they say something like "Draw = draw, n00b".

i agree with Halo Ring. it gets anoying when everybody who makes OCG errors doesn't car and continues to make them

I guess that makes me newby.

And not caring, doesn't make them read this thread.

[Huntar!]

Icy, you're a newb. =P

 

OCG doesn't decide if you're a newb or not. Lol. Except in Icy's case.

So basically what your saying is because they (newbs) don't care, they won't read this thread. Exactly why I think we need to find a solution to solving this whole "OCG Newb Problem".

 

Even though I agree with the people that bash newb's cards due to major OCG errors, I don't support them.

 

Also, could you take my Solution Idea into consideration? I understand that it may (but more likely not) be out of your league (i'm not meaning to offend) to design and create but in my opinion, it would help out YCM alot.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Your opinion will not, ever, change my mind on how I see OCG.

 

OCG is not the do or die.

It does not make your card more professional.

It does not make your card any more creative.

It does not make you accepted.

It makes you susceptible to this obvious fad.

 

When me and Hunter joined, OCG was minimal. And people had fun.

All this does, is drain the fun and creativity. Your opinion will never see the light of day, until the mood on OCG is diluted.

[General Assclown]

That's the exact message we need to get out to the Members of YCM. If everyone knew that (what you said), there would be a major drop of bashing on newbs.

Sadly, my opinion is exactly opposite of this.

 

OCG shows how much work you've put in the card. I seriously hate n00bs/newbs putting singles out every 10 seconds that have less than 1 min of work on them and horrible OCG. This has the effect of flooding out all the "good" cards that are made by more experienced card makers.

 

However, I do agree with the fact it is not a want and not a need resource.

Then why do you appear to advocate shoving "OCG" down peoples throats?

[Huntar!]

Icy, OCG does in fact make your cards look more professional. But as i've seen, the TCG has the OCG that makes absolutely no sense, and thats official.

 

OCG is skeptical. =/

Well.....I don't know. I guess I'm half half.

 

I agree that newbs need to learn OCg but I also agree that it's not overly compulsory for newbs to learn OCG.

Let me throw in my 2 cents, though I'm pretty much done with my time in CC :/

 

OCG...is useful. I think I read a post somewhere else saying something similar to this also, but it helps clarify what the card does. Its like...Mandarin Chinese. XD There are tons of different and difficult to understand dialects of chinese, but if you want to make sure your message is understood, you speak mandarin.

 

While I see Icy's point in saying that OCG is over stressed, I think it is still an important factor in cardmaking. While creativity and balance should take forefront, its hard to properly rate a card I can barely understand.

 

And most newbs lack plain old English grammar as well, which makes it doubly hard to understand. I know that the OCG thread helped my cardmaking increase in quality amazingly when I first started out.

 

Lastly, for us members who are don't play this game anymore, its a lot harder to rate things like balance and creativity (I quit playing during the Battle City arc of the show, and even then, I didn't pay attention to the meta. And now with all the new cards that have come out since then, how am I supposed to know if the effect is original?) For members like me, OCG is one of the few things we can still properly rate. :/

Thank you, at least someone sees my way.

Yes, thats how it works.

Its more interesting than CC. The threads I post nowadays are buried within a couple of hours, and the comments I get are all worthless "cool card" "i like ur card!" "great" type comments. :/

I read your "how this LCM sees cardmaking". Our processes are surprisingly similar.

Meh, I barely give out number ratings anymore. I usually just point out OCG and give some thoughts on balance and flow.
