  • ah that sucks. I hope you're able to get it in before the deadline.
  • @FourEyesIsAFish I in the most respectfully call b.s. Unless you were in a car accident, had a funeral or medical emergency. You most certainly had enough time to make the character. A week since the tournament started + an additional two days. It doesn't even take that long, and you got ideas + a last minute reminder from me. So please, If you haven't turned it in, at least start working on it or something. I'm just a little tired of having my personal time wasted waiting on something that I actually want to enjoy or at the very least witness. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk but screw another extension.

    No, I've been working on it for a while and I've had to study for tests. I just gotta prepare the submission (get card renders, that kind of stuff).

    Also I have no idea if the deadline is the beginning or end of the day. If it's the latter, I'm probably fine. If it's the former, I'm screwed.
  • @FourEyesIsAFish Again everyone else has a life too. Im not saying that this is your fault, but personally I believe that @MonkeyPirate2002 would have been more inclined to stay if the tournament started two days earlier like it was supposed to, but he has stuff to do too and now had to drop out. I have stuff to do, others have stuff to do, we all have stuff to do. This is my own personal time I am investing. Extending this more will only make more people drop out.

    My personal suggesstion would be to work on it before the thing starts because if I see the word extention, I don't think I'm gonna stay anymore.
  • you're dropping out?
  • only if this thing gets dragged further.
  • It most likely won't
  • Jesus @Tonysparks chill dude
  • I am chill lol. I'm just saying I personally don't have the time to spare. Sorry if I'm sounding like a whiny. Extensions just get annoying at some point.
  • Just relax and enjoy. If you don't have time to write something, just enjoy the stories of others. It doesn't have to be competitive. As everyone has things to do, sometimes it is good thing to have an extension of the deadline.
  • yea, you are right. You know who cares if this thing starts a month from now. I think I have been letting it occupy more space than needed in my mind. I mean who I'm I to say no to extensions :D
  • I think we should just forget the deadline and just start it whenever everyone has their stuff in. It just causes to many unrealistic expectations about time management haha.
  • Basically what Cass said
  • This game is for fun and character/world building, and I only ask that everyone enjoys it as much as they can as they go on with their personal lives. I know things can get pretty tense, especially if there's a big decisive day coming which determines whether or not you get to play in the game at all, and I completely understand that, I was a player in ToC1 after all. You start doubting and ask questions about whether or not your entry is good enough, is there something you're missing, could something have done better, etc. And extensions just makes it even worse. But all I can say is relax. Just do your best, and enjoy the stories and characters you and other creative minds like yourself have invested time in.

    Tournaments are harsh because only a certain amount of people can join them and there will be only one winner, but the thrill of making your characters go through that journey is something that makes all this worth it, even if they don't end up as winners. I know this may seem a bit corny, but that's how I truly feel about these amazing contests where people bond with each other through cards and events!
  • So glad to finally have all of mine done. Was stressing about it a lot, but really wanted to polish it up nice and get the balancing decent. Think it came out okay.
    Also curious what people think about the choice of card frame and such, it's an older MSE design that was floating around that I tweaked a little to bring it more in line with modern standards, like updating the font.
  • Definitely one of the more eye catching ones i have seen.

  • On that note, how do y'all do the header most of you have at the story beginnings? I'm not proficient in forum code stuff so I have no idea.

    I fixed the "lost memories-Betrayal of a son" (Arn, sporadic killer and Memories in turnmoil cards) for anyone who wants to see them. I realized they were too blurry.
  • This is awfully dissapointing, but congratulations.
