Guest Star Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I've noticed that there are not many original cards posted on the forum anymore. Why? There are a lot of talented card makers, and some card makers that have potential. The only card maker on the forum that has no potential is YankeeFan07. I want to see some interesting cards. Here is my idea. I am going to post three interesting set ideas, and I would like three people to create the sets. - Fish-Type Monsters that can be Normal Summoned in face-up Defense Position- Fusion Monsters that can be added from your Extra Deck to your hand- Monsters that can attack monsters in your opponent's Graveyard Who will make these sets?

YCM's originality, talent, and member attitudes have drastically dropped compared to before. This looks to be something good to refresh current members. Expect a few sub par entries. I would participate if I was not busy with other things. It is a very well constructed idea to give new members a chance. I'm keeping an eye out for a specific few.

Guest Star Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 You can tell people about this thread if you want to. I want to see some original cards that weren't made by Dj-Osiris or Card Maker Shinigami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 The only card maker on the forum that has no potential is YankeeFan07.- Monsters that can attack monsters in your opponent's Graveyard Ok, a few things, how do I have no potential, and, I ALREADY MADE THE ATTACK THE GRAVE CARDS BEFORE >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I want to see some original cards that weren't made by Dj-Osiris or Card Maker Shinigami. And yet you shrink the box of original ideas to three lame themes. Graveyard attacking has been done by most of the talented people who had some spare time' date=' myself included, though it was moreso a set of monsters that attacked everything except monsters on the field. Fish that can be Normal Summoned in face-up Defense? Oh man, this is an [u']awesome[/u] theme! I'll go do it right now! LET'S GO, FISH DEFENDERS! Fusion Monsters that can be added from your Extra Deck to your hand.. oh boy, discard bait. That's about it. I'll eventually take over the Written Cards forum with a massive post of all the Sets I've made over time, but I have to take some time to type them up from my notebook. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avariademon Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 though i wouldn't put it in the way that skyson did i would have to agree. how is giving us sub par ideas going to help our card creating abilities. the only one i would say im interested in (because i've seen the result) is the fusion to hand, THAT was GREAT i love that effect it was a wounderful idea, how he put it togeather but seriously fish summoned to def, why? its been done on cards but why just fish? whats the point of limiting it so much, i could see only a few benificial cards out of that cards like total defence shogun would be interesting, but its not that interesting, the guidline in and of itself is not interesting. the graveyard effect is just to confusing. what would happen to the monster after attacked? how do you deturmine the position of the monster? why not just make monsters that can attack directly? alright the awnser to the last one is simple, because with these you could have a big monster that could "attack directly" without having its atk be to overpowerful... but alas this is probably more of my openion... im not trying to cloud your creativity, but the point is to make "realistic" cards but that effect just seems to farfetched to really be considered "realistic" think, if you think people were confused for van dalgion then just wait till they see these. again it would probably be better for me to see the end result of that before i go judgeing the ideas... if you could give me a link to one that has been already created then i would love to see it. in addition if you try thinking of something that feels more open for creativity or something that just feels more right then i would love to participate. though yes the majority of my cards have been based off of real cards and so on, i could try my hands at originality. i can always try thinking up my own effect, though im sure it will probably have been thought of before, ill try my luck.... sorry if i sounded rude please forgive me if i did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoshIcy Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I can do the one that attacks an opponents monster in his/her graveyard lol, im great at rulings like that ;) just remind me from time to time so i dont forget lol seems interesting lol, maybe it will be as fun as my Spell Speed cards XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avariademon Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 well i've been thinking, and i would like to state that you inspired me to be more creative with something that has been done little to none. so i thought about it and thought "what creature type is bearly used at all?" I went down the list of creature types and said you know, i never see any sea surppents, i decided to check just how often sea surpents are used as a type, one more then the number of fingers on your hands. THATS right 11 different sea surpents have been created sence LOB according to my source.. ANY how i decided to come up with a "set" of creatures and support S/T cards for what i belive suits the sea-surpent creature type. i will reveil more about it when i releise my first card. most likely today...

Rawlyn Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 No, I'm not very good. :D Why would you want to add a fusion monster to your hand? I don't see the point in trying to change the rules of the game for the sake of a few monsters. Too many people here try to do that, and in my opinion it generally ends up messy and a little pointless. If you can't stick within the rules of the game, you're not a good card maker!

I find if I close my eyes I stop seeing good cards as well ;) Let's begin with the fact you just double posted, shall we? You may be new but that doesn't entitle you to not listen to the rules. If this is the first you've been told this, now you know. Edit your previous post. Furthermore, Derek_Whaley meant that back when YCM was less crowded it had much more talent. I have to completely agree. In that time those who didn't know OCG or how YCM asked how it worked, were patient, and didn't make such bad cards. Now, everyone and their mother has an account and believe that their cards are "superior" or the "best." If you can't stick within the rules of the game' date=' you're not a good card maker![/quote']That statement shows that you are new. Thinking up new and more creative effects is the main purpose of making cards. Just as pictures can be, effects as well can be overused. What makes a truly skilled card maker, is going above [and beyond] the normal or average. Finding new and fresh pictures and effects set the scale for who and who isn't a prime card maker. Doing better sets the bar higher. Hope I Helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyson Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 Everything that Organization_XIII sounds true (though I can't say anything about how YCM was in the past, since I'm relatively new) except for one thing: What makes a truly skilled card maker' date=' is going above [and beyond'] the normal or average. Finding new and fresh pictures and effects set the scale for who and who isn't a prime card maker. Hope I Helped[/b][/size][/i] Finding good pictures is something totally independant from being a good card MAKER. The art of a card should has no impact at all on how useful or effective a card is. Do you win a duel with better cards, or cards that have prettier looking pictures? Art is optional at best. Finding the best picture to fit into that little square to evoke a "wow" from people doesn't make your card any better or worse as an actual card. It just makes it nicer to look at. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawlyn Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I'm so sorry for being new! I've learned my lesson, and will never start anything new ever again. I don't see a problem with new effects, but I do see a problem with entirely changing the game mechanics to suit a "nice idea". A game is nothing more than a set of rules - change those rules too much and you're talking about a different game. I think it takes a more intelligent and creative mind to think of new twists to the existing system than it does to create an entirely new game mechanic to make an idea work. Please also remember that this is only someone's opinion (in this case, mine) - nobody is forcing you to agree :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
