JerryFreelance Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 [align=center]Well, I was planning on doing this a lon time ago, but then Shini decided to make one, but that one never got finished, so I guess I'll make one, as I have yet to see someone with amazing OCG. So, we'll start with basic OCG: Words. We'll get to phrases later, but for now, we might as well start with words. This will be written with new errata. What does this mean? This means that cards from the newest set have OCG that beats the OCG of cards from any other set, especially the first ones! The first tip is for you to ALWAYS spell words correctly. The next tip is to always capitalize the name of the card. This one seems like a gimme, but seriously, there are people who don't. The only words that shouldn't be capitalized in a name are: "and""the""of""in""with""from" Here is how words should be written. Follow the model if you fail to understand: "Correct OCG"/"Incorrect OCG" "Summoned"/"summoned""Normal Summoned"/Any other way, really"Set""Special Summoned"/Any other way, really"Tribute Summoned"/Any other way, really"Flip Summoned"/Any other way, really"flipped face-up"/Any other way, really"Tribute[s/d]"/Any other way, really"hand"/"Hand""Graveyard"/"graveyard"/"Grave"/"grave""Deck"/"deck" More to come soon.

Junk Raver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 'The only words that shouldn't be capitalized in a name are: "and""the""of""in""with""from"' I personally tend to ignore that factor, the card name just looks alot better with a capped 'The' quite often. The New OCG doesnt really beat old OCG, its just a newer style, old OCG is still correct or it would never have been used to begin with. And also in some cases, Old OCG is more useful, mainly for fitting in or reassuring purposes. I do hate those that are biast when it comes to OCG lores. This thread maybe factual, but its also opinionated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 haha now we just need one for pop culture... ive been thinking of writing one for that....btw i am saving this to my favs... it will help later on.... and other cards doesnt need that.....

Thus, new OCG is more correct, or else newer cards would still say "as a result of battle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junk Raver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Correct is not the word, more understandable is. They changed it not because it was wrong, but because they thought of better ways to word it, it still does not show that old OCG was wrong.

Dwhale Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I've also wanted to do this but, I never got the chance... Kaze made an article about OCG in the LCM i'd look there for some advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but it does show that new is more widely accepted, and I will get on anyone's case who doesn't use new OCG. Simple as that. And a better way to word it is clearly better. Would you rather make a good card or a bad card? If you make a card, and then refuse to make any edits [be it OCG-related or not], then clearly you're not getting the point of bettering your work.

Junk Raver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Maybe if i made a card, and did not edit it to be the new OCG style, maybe i would not do so because i simply would be happy with my work, and could not care less about peoples biast opinions on the matter regarding OCG.

Junk Raver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 My word, is Biast, i spell how i pronounce to provide a unique writing style that people can identify with. My point is that people now seem to constantly say old OCG is wrong, and they only come to that assumption by peoples biast (or your biased) opinions on the matter of new OCG. It is a thread like this that throws these assumptions at ppl, and converts them into Old OCG haters. You could at least include on post 1 that even tho New OCG is overall better, that Old OCG is still correct in its uses, then i would be happy.

Guest JoshIcy Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 i suppose this is the right thread to post this question then..... if someone has a group of monsters like "elemental hero"... when you right a effect would you prefer, "Select one monster on your side of the field that includes [insert group name here] in its card name....".... or "Add one [insert group name] monster...."

Zeroshot Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 summoned doesn't always need to be capitolized, only after Tribute, Special, Normal or basicly something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Add 1 "Elemental Hero" monster' Is better OCG and Zeroshot, due to recent changes, Summoned now should be capped, but its essentially your choice, as it was originally uncapped, stick with whatever OCG you choose.

My advice: It's neither. If you're choosing monsters in an archetype, like E-Heroes, you'd write "Select 1 "[insert archetype]" monster". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Actually, they never had the word "summoned" by itself until they re-did the errata so that it could be every type of summoning, so it was never lower-cased.

Junk Raver Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Then why on toon monsters did it say 'summoned' ?? And you may by making a thread following the direction only of New OCG, it will convert ppl to use New OCG more, and thus start to turn away against Old OCG, and in time they will decide like you have, to be fully against it, and treat it as if it is never correct, when it is, in its uses. Cyber_Commander is an example, i managed to get my point across in the end, but he followed your words and thus ended up in a giant contradiction following a discussion of which he claimed old OCG was wrong. 'Because the new OCG is the OCG that should be used' is there a sign saying we have to use it? do people really care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryFreelance Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Then why on toon monsters did it say 'summoned' ?? Knew Toons would have something like that =/ Still' date=' was old OCG.

Junk Raver Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Well your answer was wrong i said do 'people', which means everyone, and i for one do not care about old or new OCG, its all right in my eyes. What gets me is that people will tend to use both OCG lores, wether others dislike it or not, and no matter what, they will stick with it as its what they are best suited to, and feel better using. Such as i prefer using old OCG when making toons, it feels better. Cyber_Com also admitted he prefers saying 'as a result of battle', and he doesnt care if others like it or not either. This threads main purpose should be To show everything, the overall history in a way, of OCG, and should not concentrate soley on the new OCG, as its unfair to many Who still regard old OCG as correct and useful. This threads meaning, of helping others, does nothing unless all the facts are together in 1, God Kaze's article regarding OCG was alot better then this, as he included everything, and was not biast at all.
