(Apologies it's taking me so long to respond, a lot happening IRL at the moment.)

Hey hey, what's popping! Haven't been on this page in a while. Truth be told I've drifted away from MTG over the last few months.

Looks like you'd like to get a page done, I'd be happy to get one for y'all! (even though I did offer way back when I first joined here, no idea when that was)

First things first, who's going to handle the main page design? I'll need to be able to ping one person to talk to about all this

I'll also need editor perms temporarily, all good if you want to remove me later, promise I won't screw anything up

I’d be for adding coding, I’ll just say(with a danger of being hypocritical here) keep it simplistic and readable.

I suggest a library feel, darker comforting colors like brown, red, and yellows. Maybe make the panels like books or pages of books. Something like that. That’s a from-the-hip Suns_Champion design opinion :)

scotchtapedsleeves: I nominate Suns_Champion as primary aesthetic consultant, though I'd like to at least give a quick "okay" to designs :) I agree with dark tones and simple style, understated and elegant in simplicity is good.

I’m all for the library feel.

I'm gonna need all the images you'd like to use, for panels I'd need one square image to split over the first four panels, then two panel size or croppable images that you'd like over the last two.

As for the background any 1920x1080p image will work fine, if you'd like panels done theres a bit more specific code that I'll have to add to the description so I'll need to be added as an editor. Makes my job a lot easier

Once I get a background image I can style the rest of the page compared to the image

scotchtapedsleeves: You're added as an editor, I'll let Suns_Champion handle the image stuff.

After we resolve the deckcoding and the other thing, we should ar hive the comments. Our heartfelt essays are very space inefficient:)

Oh man it's definitely been a minute since I been on here, I fully endorse having the page coded and edited. Suns_Champion, scotchtapedsleeves, Daedalus19876, make it sexy!

Suns_Champion says... #10

Aw yes, my two design classes I took as electives are finally paying off xD

scotchtapedsleeves and Daedalus19876, I've created a page we can mess with the coding and get it right before adding it too here, so as not to blow up any conversation here with random instances of coding :)

The Deckwatch [coding page]

After school/study today I can start finding images and ideas. If anyone has an art, image, or theme they want explored let us know on the coding page!

Welcome Patolea

Daedalus19876 says... #13

Patolea: Welcome! You arrived at a tumultuous time, I'll add you to the page shortly (then you can put that info in the deck's page). Feel free to join us on Discord in the meantime!

KongMing: Let's tone it down several notches, please. I appreciate the support, and I agree that SynergyBuild's initial ultimatum-esque response was rather baffling (until he explained things more thoroughly), but responding to hostility with more hostility is generally not helpful. Even if I'm guilty of it myself sometimes ;)

Nevinyrral_Mayor_of_Urborg: Thank you for updating that, much appreciated.

SynergyBuild: I get the confusion, and I'm glad we talked it out. I understand your perspective a bit better, and I hope you also understand where I was coming from: your post did initially come across as very abruptly and oddly confrontational, despite the relatively minor stakes, and I don't humor ultimatums like that as a general policy (or we'd see them all the time, heh). My swap to Nissa was supposed to be playful, and I'm sorry that it didn't come across that way.

With that said, I'm happy to have you come back if we all understand each other better -- I saved your member intro before removing it, I'd be happy to restore it.

...and I'd still like to find a creature to represent you, to keep everyone under the same card selection rules, now that they've been clarified ;) but hopefully we can figure one out together rather than clashing.

With all of this said, I hope that we all understand each other a little better, and let this pass :)

Shrug. Talk little, say much.

Patolea says... #15

Think for the good side, If wasn't this tumult the page wouldn't have appear in the main page.

August 23, 2019 5:46 p.m.

Daedalus19876 says... #16

Update; SynergyBuild decided not to accept the offer to come back - no hard feelings I hope. I wish him good dice rolls and deckbuilding in the future :)

Has anyone seen or heard from Eiti3 lately?

Jaypay1994: Welcome! Write an intro and add a creature card to represent yourself! :)

TheRedGoat says... #20

@Daedalus19876 I'd actually mention something in conjunction with a question of mine. Being that, I don't remember which card is mine and would like a call out to narrow things down, but what if instead of strictly putting the card names, we use the thing that lets you reference a card and insert your own phrase.

Much like this.

Or --> card:card name|your name <-- with the flat brackets on the ends.

Daedalus19876 says... #21

TheRedGoat: In theory, this wouldn't be a problem if everyone wrote a quick intro, haha. But if you can demonstrate what you mean, we can try to make it work. Try cloning the deck, and changing it to show what you mean?

Daedalus19876 says... #22

Upvote me? :3

I also need suggestions, there's a LOT to improve here. But it'll wait until the morning :)

Hi Daedalus19876 would love to get involved in this :) would love to collaborate and bring my ideas to the table!!

Chhris: Let's talk in the morning, I'm getting some rest for now. Feel free to join our Discord in the meantime though! :)

Hello Daedalus19876 and all you other members of the Deckwatch. If you're taking new members I would love to join, since I do a lot of EDH deck drafting just for fun. My only big weakness is just not being as savvy at page formatting for Tappedout.
