*This was created due to the absence of Soul Immortal and the fact (as far as I'm aware) that Derek is not on while the other members of the Academy are, I will be the new holder of the exam for anyone who wants to take it ask me via PM, THANK YOU.*

 

I don't see many if any on going threads on this forum. So I thought maybe it would be nice to start 1. But first I have a question to ask:

 

~Is there another forum that has this idea in it?

 

What idea you ask? Well read on further;

 

The idea I have is that there will be a Group put together. The group will be of those people willing, and able to make cards of quality not quantity, and collectively not individually.

 

It will start off with 1 person being the "Card Creator"~he/she will be the person who posts up a card with only a picture on it, and make the adjustments etc. The group will then choose if they think the picture is suitable or not. The "Card Creator" at that time can choose to forfeit/pass the responsibility on to another member. After the "Card Creator", and appropriate picture have been decided, the group will then come up with the:

 

~Name of the Card

~Card type [Monster, Spell or Trap] and all other details for that type. [What type of Monster it would be if it was a Monster Card, and so on].

~and any thing else that will need working on.[rarity, the set number if the cards are going to be made into sets

 

Then once the card is "Finalized" and all Group Members are satisfied, and agree. The Card will be posted into another thread to be showcased, and credited. Then the new "Card Creator" for the next Card will be chosen. And the process then repeats from the beginning.

 

This is quality before quantity so obviously the process will be slow, so obvious patience will be required for all those who are interested. A certain level of card making skill, and a fair understanding of card terminology grammar/punctuation etc will be needed. That will mean there will be a member qualifying stage for those who want to enter.

 

criteria:

~Teamwork

~Honesty

~Creativity [cool card ideas]

~eye for detail, and picture choosing skills[frequently chooses suitable pictures for cards]

~basic art skills [achieving a good quality card which means editing, cropping etc]

~Grammar/punctuation [goes without saying]

 

If some one is really bad in 1 area it does not count you out from being a member. e.g. Someone with real good creativity, good team work, and has basic art skills but lacks in the spelling department will still be considered because others will help work on that area. On the other hand, some one who consistently makes bad spelling mistakes, poor picture quality, and can not make a decent card will probably not fit the criteria for this Group.

 

So is there another forum with this idea?

If not then consider my idea.

 

Another thing I've only been on here 3 days, and I do not know everyone as some of you will. Those who have been on this forum longer than I will be more familiar with the people who definitely have the required skill level. So in saying that if you feel there is someone who should be in this group, and that wants to join just let me know to save them having to prove themselves. I will just take that persons word for it.

 

Well that's all for now. Just waiting to hear back from everyone else with feedback/ideas, and questions.

I've made the following changes to the directory:

 

Added the new new headquarters as "the 2nd headquarters".

Added the CMA Public Card Review

Changed "The Academy" thread to "Card Creation Thread" and moved its position on the directory.

Added the Side Challenge Colosseum Dome

Removed the now useless CMA Application thread

 

So, to make things easier, you can just add this to the main post:

Ok everyone, it's time to do something we've seem to forgotten. Everyone submit the card image to the card you want featured on CMA Advertisement Banner. I just want the image, not the rest of the card, cut the rest of the card out. Preferably a monster card or a card with a monster in it. I for one am going to use my Archangel Michael.

 

EDIT: Zombie Warrior Wa-Mu will also be added as the center-Piece.
