Sakura's 2016 AMA


Recommended Posts

Was trying to find a good playlist to study to, finally found one.  Your thoughts?  Nightcore - Centuries - YouTube

 

Also a Member Evaluation wouldn't hurt... *chuckles* gonna hear about all my complaining or whining or spamming or something of the sort

 

Probably not too much of a fan of Nightcore renditions of stuff, so...

 

As for the member evaluation, can't say I have a lot of thoughts on you; either good or bad. Obviously, there's you trying to get reviews on your DP/CC sets (by now, you probably know that multiples tend to be kind of dead at times). There was probably some other stuff in the past, but I likely forgot at this time.

 

Cherz wants a Member evaluation~

 

It would probably help if I was actually around during 2012 and likely that chunk of 2013 that I missed, because aside from a few glimpses of you in certain places, I don't have much to really say. Though, you haven't caused trouble thus far, which is a good thing.

 

At least you're going in CC to an extent (and likely the only Naturia player here at the moment; likely other TCGers play the Deck but they aren't mentioning this).

(Now you know why I don't do member evaluations that often)

Back in 2009, I was viewing random videos on Youtube; some of which involved custom cards. At the end, a few of them mentioned where they were made (which was here) and by curiosity, I decided to join this site. No one recommended that I come around here, so the choice was mine.

 

To be honest, I only wanted to stick to the cardmaker as I was coming around after having an incident on another forum whose members essentially acted like a few people here (and not in a good way). But after a while, I decided to post on the forum and hoped that YCM members wouldn't be jackasses like some people on that other place. I've seen a few members here act like that over the years, but that's to be expected.

 

(I will admit that I was still relatively new to forums back then, and likely did the same mistakes that I'm telling new members not to do now.)

On that day, I created an account on my school's computer (before class) and that's how my YCM life started.

What do you mean by this?

Basically, said members on that other area weren't the nicest people around and were what we would consider trolls now. I made the remark comparing them to some old YCM members from the past who behaved in a similar manner, because they were indeed like that.

 

A few years ago on YCM (the MyBB days), there used to be more members who essentially caused trouble and overall weren't very nice (pretty much them making sarcastic remarks and some inappropriate comments). That was essentially how those members on the other site behaved; especially during an instance where a new member accidentally misposted in a forum with an unrelated topic, and things got ugly.

 

You can consider it as posting Miscellaneous-style comments in that thread, and otherwise derailing it to no end.

 

(For reference, it was a trading card site, but not Pojo)

 

Rate Yuuji plz boss. =D

 

Well, you've been here about a month and already you have 102 reps to your name, so you're getting on rather nicely. Otherwise, you are one of the newer stars in CC (which I admit were needed for quite a while now).

 

I also see you're very active in that review thread Dova made (although there technically is a review request thread in the main Advanced forum, though it extends to singles as well; I assume you have seen it at least once, no?)

 

Regarding some of your designs, you have a bit of work to do in certain areas. Remember that last card I graded yesterday? You still need to lower its stats, even with the material requirement. (And yes, that other member who suggested that you make it stronger doesn't appear to understand the power balance in this game)

Now I am curious. What do you think of me?

 

You're one of the more active members in the AGM; that much is certain. Though, aside from CC and that club / Miscellaneous, can't say that I see you much else (though that may be attributed to me not going in certain forums). Though, at least you're around in other areas and actually review cards (I'm trying to remember if Nyx actually critiques people in CC, since they asked my opinion on them the last time I made an opinion thread).

 

So yeah, I have a generally positive opinion about you.

 

(Ah yes, and I'll get that thing to you in a bit.)

 

Same

Well, you just joined 5 days ago so you haven't made much of an impression on me just yet. But so far, you seem to be okay.

If you had asked me this question in a few weeks or something, then you probably would have a lot more things that I could evaluate you on; either good or bad.

What card/ card set are you proudest to have made?

 

In recent history, probably my Psychic Dragon stuff (sets). As for singles, probably most of the stuff I did for my 1000-post increments; also that Flash Step Pegasus card (that one is actually proving to be really good).

 

Don't know about anything from pre-September 28, 2013.

 

For those who don't know you very well, who are you? Where do you regularly haunt on the forum? What do you usually do here? And what do you think people would know you best for?

 

1. This is a tough one. Most people know me as the lone moderator of Custom Cards (although I do have Gadjiltron as a second hand in there), Intros and Q/A, among other things, but not on a personal sense (the more personal stuff is reserved for a good chunk of the veterans from my era). 

 

If I'd have to mention more stuff, I'm the creator of Club Espeon (one of the highest Pokémon clubs during its era) and the early version of the YCM Render Gallery in Showcase. Should be obvious, but I'm one of the very few members from Hawai'i, USA (besides Icy and another member that even I had to look up). 

 

2. In order of frequency, CC (as it's the section I have to watch), Games/Clubs, TCG (though mostly browsing), Introductions (my secondary area)

 

3. Basically patrol my sections and post in certain threads. 

 

4. Probably the amount of time I kept my username (which was pretty much since the changeover until last April, and only because Night decided to change it without telling me). That, and whatever things I have about Latias/Sakura on my profile.

Favorite dragons aside from the Lati twins? Since I already know your other favorite psychic. XD

 

Yeah, Espeon should be obvious. 

 

Anyway...

  • Saffira/Sapphy (although I've yet to build a Deck using her that can survive in this current meta; and yes, that was the motivation for my 2014 monster account / DC)
  • Reshiram
  • Rayquaza
  • Garchomp
  • Stardust Dragon (and its evolutions / alt forms)
  • Red Demon's Dragon (and evolutions / alt forms)

I probably have more, but this is a general list of other dragons.

Did we ever have a card making rivalry? I know Zextra and I had one (he destroyed me). Also, evaluation please?

 

I think we fought once in the distant past before I went on hiatus, but yeah don't think we did.

As for evaluation....

 

For the most part, I pretty much see you in the contests and 1v1 area, though you have made some forays into Advanced at times. There is the issue with Duel Portal and 2099, which is pretty much the extent of how much I see you. tl;dr, you're mostly in CC with the exceptions of a few threads.

 

I honestly don't know if you would've remained on the job had that incident not occurred (or you had more support back then), but yeah. Come to think of it, I haven't seen you review cards in the section much (if at all). Only time you did was during the Halloween event as Hades in Misc. 

 

So yeah, actually go in the other parts of CC more often (even Casual if you so choose).

Do note my schedule is, well, not pleasant. I have to prioritize what I do, and reviewing cards takes a fair amount of time unfortunately. u.u

I know; that's why I don't review that much stuff either (well, at least not Multiples; especially if there's a crapton of stuff in there). Going to assume that Zex has an equally heavy workload on his end; hence why he's rarely here. 

 

Aside from differentials, static engineering and probably writing papers in Spanish (it's a writing intensive I need for graduation), that's about it in terms of major stuff.

What's your favorite Ghost-Type Pokemon?

 

Hmm, I'd probably say Gengar. 

 

What's the story behind your username?

 

Assuming the one I have now, it's basically linked to how much I like Sakura from Naruto. Originally, I asked Icy for a name change to it back in March 2010, but for whatever reasons, he didn't do it. After we switched over to IP Boards and got access to change our own names, I took this name and that's about it. 

 

The stuff involving changes to Rai / Icy are linked to April Fool's stuff that Night did. I only used Icy as a temporary name while waiting for my original name to become available again. 

 

---

As for my old username (the one only old YCM members know about to an extent), the reason for that one is slightly more random.
