The old way was too Synchro for you, and the new one you think is dull. This is why I can get frustrated; I don't know what is is you want, and you won't tell me.

It's obvious what I want - this idea of yours to not be in Shmod.

All I wanted to do was create a game mechanic.

I know. But that's a bad way to make a game mechanic. You don't start with the idea of a game mechanic, you start with what you want to happen. If you can do it without a new mechanic, you keep it like that. If not, and it's worthwhile, it becomes a mechanic.

Well then what could we do with these Alchemy cards? Because in that case it's possible to make it an effect that isn't a new mechanic.

I believe Nick here has rekindled a long living war between the two of you - I know Greg is stubborn and you don't seem eager to step down and let Nick and Greg work on fake cards that most likely will never be in the game. Do you think the Yugioh creators get all worked up when they see people making fake cards with fake mechanics that aren't official rules but are interesting to think about? I highly doubt it. They most likely look at it and think - "I like the way these kids think."
What I'm trying to say is, what may be an interesting concept to them may be rubbish to you, however it could develop into something interesting. It's not like they're cheating or really adding it into the game. So let them have a little fun and think a bit. Thumb Right

That's just the thing. In Yugioh, people can post whatever they want and the cards will never get into the game. But here, a pretty large majority of posted CaC's go into Shmod. Which is why I have to be stricter about what happens.

Ok. I guess that makes sense.

Gee, thanks Scott.

Anyway, I know that this stuff can wok; I just need to find a way to make it work.
