Hopefully this is the right place to post this.
Okay so while ago I posted on pcg about restarting petz trading cards. I don't feel like finding links to the posts but on this page of my site it explains what they are, the general idea of making them, distributing them, ect. that was discussed on the posts.
Well I never really got around to doing anything with them(every time I started I would cringe and do something else). Well I had someone(Dew!) recommend getting help from another person who makes cards from the older format and I though, "well why didn't I think of that?" Well anyways I sent out a couple pms and the people that replied agreed to help start them up again.
There are a couple new ideas that aren't on my page yet(-_- I really need to update that thing).
First of all is ratings. There were a couple things about this that have been brought to my attention. One, the way the cards show rarity is different than the original. The reason for this was because I wanted this to be something the whole community could get into and everyone who made a card could have their own little logo down in that corner. Obviously the logo would cover up the circle/diamond/star and then there would be a problem. So the color of the logo became the rarity symbol. The logo will really come in handy since I've requested a couple people help me with the making of the cards, though anyone will still be able to send them in.
Let's call the main card makers "MCMs". I figure the MCMs will be able to assign their cards rarity themselves and trust them to keep the ratio of common:uncommon:rare intact. The main reason for me assigning rarity was so the ratio wouldn't get thrown way off. If someone isn't a MCM then their card(s) will have the rating assigned.
Moving on, as I said I'd really like to have the whole community involved. It was suggested to me by affinity that getting the cards into forums would get more people since that's where the majority of people are now. I thought it was a good idea and would be interested in feed back on this idea. Obviously I'd get permission from Admins before throwing the cards into the forums.
Another idea I had while replying to one of my PMs about the cards was, what about a forum for the cards? I know on PetzRUs there were some events at one point in time about the cards and I'm sure I could think of other ideas too of different contests for a forum where the winners could get stuff like, choose your own rarity, or some 1st edition of the next set of cards. Every so many months could be a new set or after so many packs. The packs would be like booster packs that every 15 cards completed would make up. I'm not really sure how to work in booster packs but it could be interesting and I'd really like to.
Anyways I think I covered most of what I'm thinking of involving the cards. Please ask any questions, I know I'm not always very clear and I ramble, make suggestions, comments, or anything else.
