MTG Salvation

Heya everyone. Welcome to salvation I hope you have are finding your way around the site. If you have any questions, feel free to ask a moderator for assistance. You can find moderator helpdesks here. Most of us are laid back and dont mind questions so please feel free to ask for help if you need anything.

Salve has all kinds of coolstuff catering to a wealth of interests (you prolly know that though, that's why you signed up, right?), so here are some helpful links to get you started:

• The Rules - not to come off overly strict but we do have some forum rules that we would appreciate if you know first and foremost. Most subforums have additional rules that are enforced within their sub so please make sure to pay attention to the rules pages within areas you intend to participate.
• Introduction to Tags - this is a great guide to using the tags we use here at salvation. Feel free to give it a once over and ask any questions you might have about the tags and using them.
• The Game – here you'll find a bazillion subforums all dedicated to magical card discussion.
• Magic Fundamentals – this area contains the volatile RUMOR MILL of legend among other important stuff like the Storyline sub (what the heck was the Mending anyhow) & the Rulings sub (use [card]card[/card] tags!).
• Market Street – is the place you'll find all the trading, buying, selling & price discussion your heart desires.
• Outside Magic is our catch-all for the various genres of entertainment & discourse found across the interwebbes, including my home turf, Clans.
• Creativity is home to one of the coolest threads ever, the [Official] Altered Art Thread! The Humor sub is in here, as well as the Avatar & Sig Shops.
• MTGSalvation – this self-referencing sub is where you are now! Community Feedback is in here, along with the mod help desks, as well as the Articles discussion sub.
• Technical Support – last but not least, Tech Support for all your c∞§mp†•er difficulties. We've also stashed our Wiki discussion down there. Watch your step

This is of course by no means a complete list of what you'll find, but it hopefully gives you a bit of an internal compass to find your way about the site. The Staff is always happy to help, so don't hesitate to PM us or post on our helpdesks (you can find out who is in charge of which areas by looking in the bottom right corner of any particular subforum).

Luck dropped me a line, looks like I'm here in time to pay last respects.

What I don't like about the switch to Curse:

You can't tell which threads are unread, at least not easily. I play a lot of mafia, and so I like seeing at a glance which threads have new activity or not. And, on top of that, it makes everything a wall of bold titles so that no single one can easily strike out at the user. I lead with this because it is the largest killer for me.

The site also lacks the utilitarian visage of MTGS that I've come to love. I also dislike having black text on grey on black on blue being the colorscheme, and can't see a way to change that. I imagine with Curse's demographic that may be unlikely to change, either.

Last, I don't like the very top of the site telling me to get premium all the time. I'm not going to get premium and the site pushing me to get it only makes me want to take my time elsewhere. I will not like this page. That button only clutters the site. I will not tweet about this page. That button only clutters the site. I am not going to sign up when I'm already signed in, go away giant orange button. It's just. so. CLUNKY.

And that's a huge turnoff.

vBulletin may be outdated but apparently "modern" is synonymous with "cluttered".

If the move is made to Curse in the current state, I think I just may not move with it, except to finish out my remaining mafia games. There's a minimum standard of site cleanliness that Curse is not providing.

Quote from Yomako

Rolling a cube to make choices?

*rolls 360-sided cube. It lands on Uktabi Orangutan. Confused at the meaning of this result, I begin an animalistic seduction of my playgroup. They panic and decide the best course of action is to roll the cube themselves. Xenagos, The Reveler. They look at one another and sigh heavily. In accordance with their roll, they reluctantly accept my advances and we party like Miley Cyrus. When we feel that the demands of these unfortunate rolls have bet met and have sufficiently scarred our minds and bodies, we roll again.Mother of Runes. My mother enters the room. Appalled at the obvious goings-on in the room she begins scolding us. In a way it is comforting to be assured of the vileness of our actions. In order to explain ourselves, we ask mom to roll the cube. Uktabi Orangutan. For the first time in my life I pray.
