Shinobi Phoenix Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 OK, so I've been watching this forum as a non-member for a while, reading the rules, seeing the drama, watching how people interact with each other and to be honest, a lot of it made me NOT want to join (my friends who play and do the same "hobby" have said the same thing). However, I do have a lot to share and a lot of very unbiased advice that I think my experience could help others to grow with. So I guess I'm joining mostly to be of some help because I'm one of those "old sagey" types that doesn't sleep much and the older you get the more you have to say about everything. Not in any official capacity, but helping much sure some people get more than just those who pop in a thread declare "OCG error" in just barely enough words to be avoid being spam with some bull that makes them pretend they knew what they were talking about or what was good for the card(s) as a design or the spirit of the author's intentions and try to force a change toward what they want to see instead of helping the author make what he was trying to see proper and go about their day feeling smug for their act of legal post-pumping. So for a while, while I re-read over the rules and other parts of the forum that I notice bring a bit of trouble, I will only be reading and giving advice. I'm not sure I'll ever actually post my own designs which I really only discuss within certain circles anyway, due to their clashing with what this forum apparently wants out of their members. I will make a list of questions to bring up in the appropriate thread regards these "issues" I've noticed before I make any attempt at posting my own work. I've been at it for a long time (almost 5 years actually making cards now and I have a very strict philosophy about it even for fun) and I'd like to keep trouble over them to a minimal. It's not a huge deal to post them anyway since it's not really why I'm here and I'm not starving for attention or need to show off my work. Sorry for the long introduction and lack of the "TLDR" version that will be inevitably asked for, I guess I just had a lot to say after witnessing this place from "afar" for such a long while. When one has something to say, they should say everything that needs to be. I also hope no one takes it that I'm being abrasive when I'm really not and it's not intended to be. And no, I have none even set up my profile or anything yet, so excuse the lack of avatar and signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twig Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well hello Shinobi. That's on heck of an introduction. I didn't quite understand what you were saying, but I read it. Expect short posts in this section. It's one of the places where people get away with posting short posts. Don't worry about the issues whatever they are. Just try to have fun. After all, that's what YCM was made for. Though people do like the drama. Anyways, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, good luck.[/quote'] I will certainly try, thank you, though I think those issues I'm "compiling" together to ask about could possibly interfere with any future posting of my own work should I choose to if the answer I get doesn't help me. I guess nothing ventured... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
