Deckbuilder's Discussion

Alright, let me know when you've watched this page (by posting on the page). If you all watch this page, it should be a lot easier to communicate with you all at once. --Tantara (talk) 22:27, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Done. --Blue (Talk) 23:40, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

I'm Following. -bewk 01:24, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Same here. Havent been on the wikia for a while. Took a couple of requests. ~NYKid 80.78.79.153 (talk) 17:04, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hey NYKid, I've seen a lot of your stuff on TCGplayer. Anyways, I'll wait till everyone posts here. I have an idea that I'd like to bring up. --Tantara (talk) 20:38, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Here as well.--Akiza Izayoi (talk • contribs) 01:02, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

Mmm... The other deckbuilders better show up soon. Anyways, NYKid, don't contradict a deckbuilder on the actual thread, it makes the deckbuilder look bad. Put it on the deckbuilder's talk page and let them fix it. --Tantara (talk) 21:09, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

TwosidedDragon hasn't been on since the 25'th of June, and Flushy since March. I don't think they'll be on anytime soon...--Akiza Izayoi (talk • contribs) 22:22, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

• Meh, I'll remove Flushy. I'll give TwosidedDragon a chance though. Does anyone know anyone who might like to join us (that's good?) we need someone to help us pick up the pace, here. --Tantara (talk) 22:43, July 7, 2010 (UTC)

I'll be gone for the next four days. -bewk 18:19, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, i'm still here... I have neglected to tell anyone that i would be gone for about a little while. Very sorry i didn't update. Anyway, i shall continue deckbuilding as soon as i get the time. I'm also making headway on my alien deck guide... but i'll save that for the deck guide forum ~ TSD, The Envoy Of Light and Darkness ~ 21:15, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, since most of us are following, I'll just say what I have in mind. I'm thinking that we should split Decks for Free! into two pages. This should help with the huge wait that requesters have after posting a deck. I say that we make all the deck revisions on one page and all the original deck requests on another. Does anyone agree? I'd need you to volunteer for this. --Tantara (talk) 21:25, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

• I don't quite understand how that would help speed up the process... i feel that it would just overcomplicate things...

What i think we should do is enforce the rules a little more harshly... and immediately delete any requests that break the rules and do not respond after the warning. Also, archive decks as soon as they are finished (i'm not sure how archives work so this may not be possible). The majority of posts there are abandon requests. Also, i notice that lots of people editing it don't have accounts. THis makes it hard to notify them. So another rule should be made stating that you must be signed in to make a request. Tell me what you think =] ~ TSD, The Envoy Of Light and Darkness ~ 03:03, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

also, the archives are VERY inconvinient to go through... instead, i recommend a deck gallery/ies... the archives take a long to go through... and i have trouble finding decks there even if i'm looking for them. Anyway, that's all i have to say... ~ TSD, The Envoy Of Light and Darkness ~ 03:12, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

• If we split the page and had one deckmaker do what I do and do the oldest requests, it should make the process go a lot faster.

Think of it as taking one cup of water, pouring it into two cups, and then having a person drink each. Having another person working on the oldest requests should make the process go a lot faster. Hope that makes sense to you... Anyways, I guess the gallery idea could work. It'd take a lot of work though. In the archives, just ctrl+F the deck you're looking for. I put a rule on the list in which we're supposed to delete requests that don't follow the rules immediately... You CAN delete them on sight. The majority of requests are abandoned because we take too long in getting to them... it's our fault. And if we make it so that you have to have an account, we'll lose half of our requesters. --Tantara (talk) 17:53, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

I know I'm not a deck-builder type person, but why not create archive page, call it finished, and put all finished decks in it, and make a list at the top of the Decks for Free page that lists the finished decks? It would also make for a good time to clear out abandoned/ incorrectly done requests, and the page would be a lot shorter for all of the deckbuilders to navigate.
