I'd be happy to run the shop, since I do have a lot of free time.
I think we should have a ranking table, yes. xD I don't think that deck strength was an exactly accurate system, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Putting it all in a single thread is probably a good idea. xD The portfolios were messy, and we had to keep an account of our shinies in another thread anyway. >.>
Do we even need a spoiler for the decks? Just a list of cards is all I had before.

On the subject of spoilers, no you don't -need- them, but it does make it easier for the poor person who has to scroll through the thread if it is all in a neat little box. Obviously nothing and no one can make anyone do anything but that's just my humble opinion, eh. ^^

I didn't mean do we need to put spoilers around them. xD I just mean do we need a list of decks? I changed mine so much the page would end up flooded, and even if I just had the decks I'm using, I'd pretty much have to change the post every match, because I like messing around with it.

Mmm, that's true. I guess just a record of what cards you own will do. ^^ It is handy for other players to have an idea of what might be in your deck when you play. Oh and if you're willing to take on the task of being the shopkeeper, you can go ahead and make your shop thread whenever you like. Goosh's system seemed to work well enough, though any changes are welcome if you think they're needed. The sooner the shop thread is up, the sooner I can link it in my tutorial posts. ^)^ Speaking of which, I'd like some tutorial reviews. Have I missed any information that needs to be said and whatnot? I'm going to write the gameplay tutorial sometime this weekend and Scar is writing the strategy tutorial as a favour to me.

Oh and here are my thoughts on record-keeping. That we combine all individual folio threads and TCG accounts into one thread. Each person gets one post in which to keep track of their bank account, the cards they own and their current decks. Who would like to keep the old account history and just transpose it into a new thread or ... how would that work? And lastly, I had an idea for keeping a record of all the cards each player owns in one spoiler box and then have extra spoiler boxes for each of their decks. ^^ It makes things easier to keep track of, see, and others can look and see how many awesome cards you own, even if you don't have them put into a deck. but I liked having my own thread, it was all in one place and easy to modify when I needed to. I don't really want to scroll through a page of deck info just to get to mine so I can modify it. The more players, the more posts, the more pages, too. "Oh great, my info is on page 4 at the very bottom." XD

Much better than having to look through a bunch of threads, since looking through threads the position can change, whereas the post stays in the same spot. I... think I might change it, yeah. But really, shouldn't I wait until we have the card list back to normal size?

@jina - I'm making tutorial threads and suchlike because now is when I have time to do it. You can just make the thread title reflect the status of the shop ... open or closed, but it is handy to have it there and ready to be used. ^^ But it is up to you. Thanks for taking on the task. @mowfy - Awwh, I'm sorry ... But you can be cheeky and go post in the thread right now to reserve yourself a place at the very top. I get what you mean about that, though ... but no one ever complained about the TCG accounts. Besides, you only have to update your card list when you buy, sell or trade. You don't have to record every little change you make to your deck(s). Gah, I wish I could make it uber easy for everyone ...

Right. I've spotted a few problems with our system and one of them is what Mowfykins pointed out. We don't pay any cost for powering up forumer cards. The other problem with that is we've got some that go Common > Uncommon and some that go Common > Rare and that seems downright unfair.
SO ... I propose the following. Every power up must only jump one level of rarity. If you have a Common and a Rare forumer card, you must make an Uncommon one in order to bridge the gap. You may then discard 1 attached energy card to power up from a Common to an Uncommon, and 2 for an Uncommon to a Rare. Opinions?

Energies are a limited resource, and throwing 3 to get a Rare Forumer isn't worth it. Especially since you still need to wait for all the right cards to come along. Just going through Uncommon to get to Rare could be done, but it would turn this game into an even bigger Pokemon TCG clone. And we would still have to come up with a system for the even less fair regular Fighters. I suggest we have it be free for Uncommon Forumers (except of course you still need the common), a cost of returning one Energy to the deck (+ still needing the common) for Rare Forumers, returning one energy to the deck from your Active for Uncommon Fighters, and throwing one energy from your Active for Rare Fighters. Also: You have to have an Active Fighter all the time, even if that means picking one out in the middle of your opponent's turn. You don't just do it after you summon. Also, the rule used to be you could upgrade benched forumers too. Don't know if you want to change that, or what.

If we have to become a Pokemon TCG clone to achieve some stability, then I for one don't mind. We weren't exactly discreet about it before. xD
As for the cost, I do agree that going to Rare should not be too pricey. Bearing in mind that Rare attacks already cost a good bit of energy, it would just be too expensive to upgrade and use Rares. So I like what Jina is proposing, although it seems a little too cheap to me. This will probably get shot down but how about paying one per each upgrade, no matter what level you are going up to. That way, if we go through Common > Uncommon > Rare then Rare will cost 2 while Uncommon will cost just 1.
And certainly creating another Uncommon Forumer card might make it fun. xD

How about this: Common > Uncommon = 1 energy return to deck Unommon > Rare = 1 energy returned to deck Common > Rare = 1 energy returned to deck, 1 discarded
?_?
I've never seen that happen in a match and the only time it -could- happen is if an event card caused a KO. Since attacking is essentially the last "action", the other player would end their turn anyway.
Mmm, I didn't actually know that. Shall edit, thanks. ^^
