what makes someone a decks pert?

TappedOut forum

Posted on March 25, 2015, 8:44 a.m. by Minelia5

I'm curious, because I've been a deckling for a while, but now I'm a deckspert. Does it mean anything? Thanks! Also, if anyone had time to make me a cool username, I'd be more than willing to check out a deck for them, or something on tapped out.

I've actually been curious of the same thing myself. I think it has to do with deck rating and "good suggestions" you give.

As for the username, I can do some things. This animation is just ripped from google, but let me know what kind of thing you're thinking about and I'll see what I can do.

They probably just went through and added another title for people who are not yet in the top 100 and can change their own title but who have been contributing enough members to be in another "Top X" category. Looking at your rank I'd say maybe top 500.

I'm 261. Also, Defpotec: Femme_Fatale advised against animation. I'm fine with just a decoration. maybe something like a light blue fade in the background? I'd appreciate anything. Thanks!

I saw you were 261, Top 250 was my initial guess but you are just outside of that. It could be any number if it is "Top X" but 500 makes sense to me.

Indeed. There are already 6 users with animations. If we make it seem like it is something people can use regularly we'll start causing terrible loading times. I don't mind all that other stuff, like using installed fonts, shadows, borders etc, but @font-face'ing a font in or using a font online can start causing problems once we have multiple users using them.

Gidgetimer that makes sense. I wonder why I haven't had it before then though. I've been top 500 for a very long time.

Femme_Fatale

That's completely fine with me! I don't mind not having animation. Even some background fade would be good. I just am getting tired of my bland coloured name.

I'm 260 XD... Only 160 more until top 100 :) (161 for you!)

March 25, 2015 10:22 a.m.

Minelia5 says... #9

I will make it to top 100! Anyways, good luck rorofat:It's both of our quests. I was wondering who might be 260 :P

CuteSnail says... #10

I'm 199, it is also my goal to reach top 100.

I think there was an update that started the deckspert thing.

March 25, 2015 11:40 a.m.

The_Raven says... #11

Well, it's everyone's goal to be top 100.

I'm 138, so I'm almost there ;)

March 25, 2015 11:46 a.m.

Minelia5 says... #12

Wow, nice job NorthernRaven! Also, are you the raven from DK on steam?

March 25, 2015 11:47 a.m.

The_Raven says... #13

Minelia5, uhm.... Yea. How did you know? And why do you know my steam name?!?!

March 25, 2015 11:48 a.m.

Minelia5 says... #14

NorthernRaven

Cause I joined the tapped out steam group, and I saw your comment asking people to guess who you were. I assumed it was you. Don't worry, I'm not stalking you :P

March 25, 2015 11:53 a.m.

CuteSnail says... #15

Wait. We have a steam group?!

March 25, 2015 11:54 a.m.

The_Raven says... #16

Minelia5 = Master of the burning Rage on steam?

And yes, -x-Juuzou-x-x-, we have a steam group. Here :)

March 25, 2015 11:59 a.m.

I suppose it's not limited to non-top 100 or upgraded accounts, seeing as I'm TO rank 31, not upgraded, and I'm still a Deckspert.

March 25, 2015 12:04 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #18

NorthernRaven you got it. I play pyro on tf2, so at the moment I'm keeping it my name, although it's slightly cheesy.

March 25, 2015 12:12 p.m.

I believe "Deckling" was replaced with "Deckspert" because yeaGO.

March 25, 2015 12:36 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #20

Interesting. I don't think it was a general replacement because it is easy enough to find people who's names still say deckling.

March 25, 2015 12:38 p.m.

That's typical reload times for this site :P

The database always takes some time to update things.

March 25, 2015 1:52 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #22

Oh, Okay. Thanks.

March 25, 2015 1:55 p.m.

I could be wrong, however. I have no definitive proof that its the new form of "deckling"

March 25, 2015 2:07 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #24

Okay. I'll remember that. If you were wrong I wouldn't blame you anyways :P

March 25, 2015 2:16 p.m.

Gidgetimer says... #25

I've been clicking on names on decks and stuff and every one ranked 867 or lower so far has been Deckling and 393 and higher has been Deckspert unless they have the custom title. Sample size is about 20 but it seems like an interesting asymmetry in the way it has been applied if it is in fact just about update lag.

March 25, 2015 2:21 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #26

Interesting. I'll look for some people too.

March 25, 2015 2:25 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #27

Found someone rank 690 who is a deckspert. That just through our ideas of the track.

March 25, 2015 2:26 p.m.

asasinater13 says... #28

no idea about deckspert aside from what's already m entioned, but I'm 123. I'll race you to top 100 NorthernRaven

March 25, 2015 2:52 p.m.

I'll race you guys to top 100 too! ;)

P.s. I win!

March 25, 2015 3:42 p.m.

The_Raven says... #30

CommanderOfBolas, you are cheating. That's not funny..... ;)

And asasinater13, you got no chance! (Okay, maybe you got) :)

March 25, 2015 4:04 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #31

I'd race you to the top 100, but it would be like starting 5 miles behind!

March 25, 2015 4:10 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #32

rorofat:

I'm rank 260 now! Are you 261? or did you surpass some people 2? i'd challenge you to a race to the top, but you'd win.

March 25, 2015 4:15 p.m.

Gidgetimer says... #33

Yeah I am staying out of any race to top 100 since I am sitting at 104, however I have been there for like 2 months so apparently I'm not generating enough activity to climb any more.

March 25, 2015 4:16 p.m.

asasinater13 says... #34

you're on northern.

March 25, 2015 4:34 p.m.

yeaGO says... #35

theories abound

March 25, 2015 4:39 p.m.

Gidgetimer says... #36

Darn it, I saw that yeaGO had commented and thought we'd get an answer. Instead we got a cryptic comment and no more information :(

March 25, 2015 4:42 p.m.

yeaGO says... #37

well i didn't want to cause a shortage of goat tokens by revealing the truth.

March 25, 2015 4:43 p.m.

I prefer the Cryptic Command...err...response...anyway. makes life more interesting

March 25, 2015 5:07 p.m.

Also, I don't like to think of it as cheating...more like creative winning

March 25, 2015 5:08 p.m.

DEckspert isnt from Contributing to the site its from reaching a certain undisclosed amount of decks you have made on the site

March 25, 2015 11:53 p.m.

Sainted says... #41

I am wrong

March 25, 2015 11:54 p.m.

asasinater13 says... #42

I mean that's a possible thing.

March 25, 2015 11:56 p.m.

rorofat says... #43

Nope, I've been bumped down to 261!

March 26, 2015 8:41 a.m.

Minelia5 says... #44

Don't worry rorofat, I'm sure you're going to pass me.

March 26, 2015 9:03 a.m.

Minelia5 says... #45

Really sorry for reanimating this (only 2 days thankfully) but I didn't want to start a new thread. I thought that would be worse. So, my question is, could someone please please please make a font for me? I'd be willing to try anything. I just want something cool.

March 28, 2015 4:24 p.m.

The_Raven says... #46

What do you want? Shadows?

March 28, 2015 4:36 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #47

Sure NorthernRaven that would be awesome. I'd really appreciate it!

March 28, 2015 5:02 p.m.

The_Raven says... #48

You know what? Here's a quick tutorial :)

See this?:

color:#0000FF; text-shadow:#FF0000 -5px -10px, #FFFFFF -5px -5px 20px, #FFFFFF 0px 0px 20px; font-family: times new roman; font-size: 25px"

This is my username in codes.

This is yours:

color:light blue

That is not good. Here is a basic template for you:

color:(inset color); text-shadow:(inset color) (inset number)px (inset number)px (inset number)px,; font-family: (inset normal font)

Let me explain. The first "color" is the color of your name. Just choose like "green".

The "text-shadow" is how your text shadow is going to look. The "insert color" is color. The first 2 px's is where your shadow is going to be. Play around with these numbers. Try 5px, 10px, -10px and so on.

The last px is how blurred your shadow should be. Play around with this too.

The "font-family" is your font. I'm using Times New Roman for example.

To make all this, open up a word document. Insert the template, and make som different codes.

Now go to settings (I think), and you will see a "costumize username". Put all those codes into the spaces, and you will get a nice username!

Try this code:

color:green; text-shadow:red 10px 20px 5px,; font-family: Arial

and see how it looks!

Thank you a lot NorthernRaven I'm gonna try it out right now!

March 28, 2015 5:23 p.m.

Minelia5 says... #50

Hmm. It isn't working.
