Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Meow. Opinions on Yuuji, nya. (I thought I said to wait until July 12th...but if you insist) Taking into consideration recent events, sometimes I have concerns about how you critique cards in CC nowadays. Granted, certain cards will wreak havoc with others by nature, but you should be able to think about other uses besides those. Yes, there is also your attitude in some places (I'll leave it up to you and that member to sort things out) and the use of that phrase. Other than that, you seem to be fine. Based on your knowledge of Hawaii and/or its folklore what are your predictions for the Sun/Moon starter evolutions? I don't know everything about Hawaiian folklore (though I know a bit due to actually living here and part of education), but let's see. Probably going to suspect that Popplio evolves into something that either resembles a monk seal or likely something sea lion related (its name has part of ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua, which is the Hawaiian term for it; tbh, I only found that term out yesterday). I know Samurott already took the sea lion thing, but there's nothing really wrong with borrowing traits from the same animal/concept/object for different Pokemon. I'm just hoping it has a nice design and nothing like Walrein (not really fond of how THAT turned out) Rowlet could end up as some regal looking owl thing when it evolves. I probably remember that one of the ali'i (chiefs) in the past was associated with them; would be funny if it mentioned a relationship to an ancient Alolian ruler or something as its guardian. In final form, might be interesting for it to have a "cape" of sorts and the headdress that is associated with them. I don't know if Gamefreak will actually go that far into our history. As for Litten, I'm really not sure about this one. Don't seem to recall any cats in our foktales, but given its Fire typing, MAYBE it could reference volcanoes. As much as I think incorporating the legend of the fire goddess Pele would be nice, I think they'll reserve that for the legendary trio (580 BST) or something else besides the starter. Not saying that it won't happen, but just a bit skeptical. (We know those three have standard starter abilities [presumably], BUT not for HA) ---Probably a somewhat ironic note, my Fakemon region and Alola are both based on Hawai'i and have a feline Fire starter. (The other starters wildly differ though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(We know those three have standard starter abilities [presumably], BUT not for HA) ---Probably a somewhat ironic note, my Fakemon region and Alola are both based on Hawai'i and have a feline Fire starter. (The other starters wildly differ though)My attitude in what place? Again, the only one complaining about their mark out of 19 was him. Totally insignificant. All my reasons were valid, and I had proof to back my reasons up, even if I did make mistakes with the first grading. Nonetheless, I have no intention of going back on my reasons. If you want, I can write a whole essay on why the card received its mark. Considering that I'm no longer a CC Judge, I have no obligation to deal anymore with his condescending attitude, not like I would've even if I remained one. If you re-read the messages, you can obviously see who started it first, and I'm still standing on my place. Try asking someone else if i give bad reviews. Honestly, I really shouldn't bother myself with this anymore. Even with Dolphin, it was more or less a joke as opposed to being condescending. I was merely being humourous with my statements, nothing more. He did fix up the card to be fine right afterwards, hence is why I didn't say anything after that. Sure, it falls short of Ultimate Falcon and isn't really as good, but atleast it became balanced afterwards. I already tried my best giving marks for a contest during a time where I'm friggin displaced out of my city and in a camp for evacuees in Edmonton. I already tried my best, and if i made a mistake: okay, I'll contemplate and fix it honesty (if you're actually nice and not a snob). However, it becomes excessively irritating when he wouldn't take my reasoning, and I get tired of explaining with his attitude. The mark wasn't even unfair or low, and considering that every mark is averaged together and divided by the amount of judges for the average, he'll obviously still place no matter what, if not first. Either way, I'm tired of trying my best if this is what I get. Maybe it's better this way now that I'm not a CC Judge, but I will not retract any of my points or gradings anymore. They are fair, and they're based on what I believe in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Yeah, I caught it. As it stands though, you and I haven't interacted much, bar for Showcase when I bothered to post sprites and here. If I sound ambivalent towards you, it's not that I don't like you, but rather that there isn't much that I can use to judge your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 As in how well you're getting along with other members; so far, you're doing fine. ----With regards to Yuuji, I know about your situation and all so you're fine there. However, as I've probably told you by now, sometimes I don't agree with you on card interactions. Yes, there are counters to certain cards but we cannot assume that the opponent will have them on hand when needed. For the most part, you are showing that you know what the hell you're doing, but some of your critique is coming off as questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, you are showing that you know what the hell you're doing, but some of your critique is coming off as questionable. <----- Not CC Judge anymore. Also, with regards to the counters: There's searchers for just about every single stupid card, it's just which Deck is willing to run it. Guiding Ariadne isn't as popular anymore, but it's still there. Majespecters requires 2 turns at most to usually get out something they need. Tincan and Farmgirl both search for cards for Kozmos. What about friggin PK and the banish search? I can even consider Pot of Duality as a searcher, as considering even starting the game with 5 cards in hand, and no counters, play Duality and reveal 3, and the possibility of revealing 1 increases with each reveal x3. I'm pretty sure a Solemn or some type of counter can have been pulled with the chances. Or how about Psyframes? Sure, they're a stupid mechanic, but Alpha does provide you with a free search. Destruction protection effects are useless against Overload. Wind-Ups can out almost any monster that can be destroyed by battle with Overwind. Evolzars can counter anything once if they can pull off the Xyz properly. Qli-control can break almost all Decks by combing Necrovalley, Skill Drain, Rivalry of Warlords, and Card of Demise (Saqlifice included). Heck, screw talking about counters. I can drone on and on about the various archetypes and possible builds that can run over a card. If we cannot assume counters at all, then might as well as get rid of card protection altogether (since there's really no point if they are never in the hand). Not assuming counters is worse than assuming some counters. Simply giving a small nerf that makes it not as effective is much better than crippling a card outright, as the decrease in synergy can make any powerful card bad. Sure, some critique might come off as questionable, and some might be incorrect due to rare mistakes. However, it doesn't mean that I might not go back and fix it or something along the lines of that if it pops into my head later on. Either way, no point in telling me that some of my critique is questionable. I know that I still make mistakes once in awhile, but the whole part of this entire situation was stupid. All of it. I made points, even if none of you like it. If I feel that it is wrong later on, I'd come back and apologize for it, and most likely make changes (Which I did with more valid and on the spot reasoning). But for the entire BS about one card that wasn't even well designed in all honesty, and the whole crap about me dealing with the situation incorrectly, it was complete garbage. Maybe it was better that you took the position away, because I can't deal with people like him who can't accept my views on the card and act like a total scumbag for my efforts. Again, the whole offer of the essay of why the card received its mark still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 The idea of CC Judge was that you know what the hell you're doing, but also be willing to look things over if people have objections (which he did, and told you politely about why certain things exist). I respect your opinion on certain card designs, even though I may not agree with them all the way. (There was a good reason why the CC Judge group was disabled in June 2015, and for the time being, it will be deactivated. Those who already earned it in the past will still retain it.) I'd rather not bring up this discussion again. ----Now, do you have anything else to ask? ---- As for Asdfduelist, I'm generally neutral on you for now; bar for your remarks in sdkinslayer's thread (which were bad taste).

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Why do you consider two months to be a necro bump? (I still consider necros as the standard 30-day thing) The standard bump rule for Custom Cards is two weeks (14 days); the 60 day one applies if it's the thread creator doing it and if/only if they actually add new content. Basically, let's assume that the creator decides to make a set early and wants to add more stuff later. It's kind of obvious that not everyone can be here every day to update it constantly (and school work does apply). Two months is generally enough time for a member to compile updates and other things, while handling business elsewhere. In your case, you have 2 months after the last post to make any updates (or really, 2 weeks if you need to bump it up amidst the daily card postings). For singles, there isn't much need for you to need that long to update one card; Multiples gets it b/c those require more effort. ----The creator bump used to be 3 months, but it felt rather long after observation.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Wanna battle me on Pokemawn Showdown? I don't play on it as much anymore. How much did the Custom Cards section change when the Advanced Clause becomes a thing? Also, about sdkinslayer's thread, I just have to shutoff my brain after reading his responses. The Advanced Clause came around sometime while I was gone from YCM, but it basically changed from people spamming "10/10 comments" (and I admit that I'm guilty of doing that too when I was younger; either that or OCG fixes) to actual critique. Although this may have killed the activity a bit and Advanced may have turned elitist after that. When I took power in CC, I tried to make it more manageable for members to do, while making sure people still get proper critique. I also removed the "100 or less post threshold" so all members are bound by it the moment they post in CC. I am in the process of rewriting it again though. ----As for sdkinslayer, I have to admit that he did come off as a major pain in the neck and didn't seem to understand why he was getting threads locked or getting a bad rep with the rest of you. I will admit that a lot of reports came in about him that week alone. On that note, he should be gone forever now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
