So I got a probation asterisk for April 1st because I forgot (like an idiot) to vote. But after reading the rules, isn't my entry just meant to be ignored?
Because I'd much rather have my entry ignored for the first day than get a probation asterisk. Just making sure.
Probation first, posted cards ignored thereafter. That's how it works for misvotes of all types.
Sorry if the rules seem unclear on that point; I'll fix that.
And the rules fix has been implemented. Technically I think this might be a slight change from how it used to work prior to when we restarted, but I think this is slightly more fair overall as it treats all misvotes equally, rather than having a special case of "if you didn't vote at all, we're just going to ignore that you posted". If you posted a card, you obviously meant to vote (and just forgot to).
Complaints about this rule change may be directed to random threads on 4chan.On a side note, the top 8 was sent off to the CCC&G Pro Tour official account while today's thread was being constructed, so points for appropriate people (and the PT invite for luminum can) should be reflected by Saturday.
That is, assuming that we can keep MirrorEntity from foraging in dumpsters rather than doing his job.
I can remember Cascade, Scepter, Dark Confidant (not 'trick', but clearly an advantage), and I am sure there's more. On the other hand, also suffers from Inquisition of Kozilek, Metal Misstep and others. Ultimately, is a better Concentrate, with its pros and cons.

It should be a setting that can easily be changed by an admin; I know it is on phpBB3 boards. (Consulting the vBulletin manual confirms this, so we shouldn't have to go to Hannes if this situation comes up in the future.)
The new max on polls is 42.

Can we have Megiddo removed from the forum forever please?
i'm pretty sure i can find your ***** online within 3 minutes
Excuse me, I'm rather new to the DCC, can one vote for oneself? It isn't covered in the rules. I didn't yesterday, due to not believing my card was worthy, but today I feel better about my own card, and.... Well....
No, you can't vote for yourself in this game. It is in the rules, but in an easy to miss spot. It says you will earn a probationary asterisk for voting for the wrong number of entries, or for voting for yourself.

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.

I'm going to be out doing grocery shopping for the next hour or two. If someone wants to put the thread up before I get back, that'd be great; if not, I'll get around to it when I get back and finish bringing food into the house.
I think Flabort's parasite mechanic has the beginnings of a good idea, but the combination infecting a creature at no cost for a benefit + the mechanic not working as written took my vote from it.
It can't be exiled face-down and still effect the host creature.

Oh. Oh.
Duh.
How stupid of me.
Face-down was a relic of an old iteration.
Yes, this mechanic has been worked upon from an original idea, to become something much different.
Originally, it was only going to benefit from the host, and the host would be unafected. It was also originally going to be exiled at the same time as the host was cast, which didn't work.
Clearly I didn't acomplished the seduction task with you ppl today. I felt really confident about my entry today, but it seems there's a problem I can't see. Any thoughts?
That's a lot of options, BlackBull. And... I missed it when I read through to vote. Now that I see it, though, I want to change my vote, but see no way to, or any rule covering it (Sorry, ninja Caterpie). Still, it's an interesting ability... and it makes sense.
Sometimes people are overwhelmed by possibility/options. This might be one such case. I only just barely see the logic of including both Hexproof and Shroud as options; one may be strictly worse than the other, but sometimes you don't have a hexproof creature to copy.
Maybe your biggest problem is, what other cards can it go on? It's pretty specialized (In as such as it specializes at being diverse), and can maybe go on a tribal enchantment - Aura shapeshifter, two more creatures, and a legendary creature. That's... about as far as I see that it's possible to take that keyword. Maybe not as precise as that, and if it goes further, congrats, but that may be your main problem.
Then again, my Parasite keyword may have similar problems. I have more prepared, but not for the DCC, and they won't be released for a day or two more... long enough for me to think of more, hopefully.
To be honest, my problem with it is that it only copies one of those at a time, and it's a little annoying that it can't be turned on/off during the course of the turn by putting something else appropriate out.
I can deal with the first part - it's pretty good if it copies all of them - but the second one's easier to fix ("Until your next upkeep, this has that ability as long as you control another creature with that ability." in place of the existing last sentence), and it gives me the option of turning on an ability later in the turn just by dropping something with the selected ability.
Sorry if the rules seem unclear on that point; I'll fix that.

I thought it would be interesting to have a concentrate that could be used in some tricks

I don't think the interesting tricks are nearly common enough to use this wording over 3U. It feels like a whole ton of complexity with no gain to me.

So, did you guys put my name on the poll and then forget to quote my card in the OP? o.O
That's really quite annoying.

And at least this is easily fixed, rather than doing the opposite (forgetting your name but quoting your card).
