dwarf Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 I think this could get difficult if you're trying to make it playable. I could think of my own weaknesses that may apply to other people - Patronization - I got secretly destroyed by Daft, I basically kept buying his annoying pot shots at my '14yearoldness', and afterwards he said 'joking Champ!'. Jesus Christ, I'm not sure there's a more patronizing/decimating word than 'champ'. It makes me cry. Maybe this is just his power? Who knows? I think it would be more constructive to make pot shots at people anyway, discuss their 'powers'.
Guy Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 This is awesome. Lemme know if there's anything I can do to help.
Sheikah Posted August 29, 2010 Author Posted August 29, 2010 It could be that a certain player has an advantage over another, thus certain stats are increased, or the reverse. Typically speaking, you need quite a lot of cards with low, medium and high tiers. Or cards that excel in a certain area (single stat or power).
Supergrunch Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 This sounds cool. I guess we can beta test with just attributes before committing to making specific cards.
dwarf Posted August 29, 2010 Posted August 29, 2010 You won't ruin this topic like you do with most. At least you've got the ball rolling with some ideas. Yes, ideas not intended to provoke/annoy people. I meant your idea that you could have 'ability to ruin topics'
Frank Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Sounds like a fantastic idea! I'll sure try to help in any way to make this happen. I'd love to have my own top trump thing. But seeing as I'm still relatively new here, I imagine my card would be pretty shit :p
dwarf Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) But seeing as I'm still relatively new here, I imagine my card would be pretty shit :p Yeah it probably would be. Edited August 30, 2010 by dwarf
Frank Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah it probably would be. you're so lovely. BITCH!!11! :p
Sheikah Posted August 30, 2010 Author Posted August 30, 2010 Sounds like a fantastic idea! I'll sure try to help in any way to make this happen.I'd love to have my own top trump thing. But seeing as I'm still relatively new here, I imagine my card would be pretty shit :p I'm thinking that even relatively unknown/bad cards might have decent special powers. So not to worry. :p I think I'd have to start by ranking players in terms of 'power' , although there may not always be a '100' card for each stat). I don't really want to be shot by a moderator for assuming someone else is more high up than them! But it's a bit of fun. :wink: Ashley (100) Sith Lord (I mean no offense by this, it's just the most unrealistically powerful sounding title) Shorty (92) Obliterator Jayseven (83) The Invisible Dan Dare (83) Slayyyer Mr Odwin (75) Interceptor Retro_Link (72) Heroic Supergrunch (72) Gandalf Hero_of_Time (70) Punisher darksnowman (66) Doomchucker Domstercool (65) Banisher McPhee (60) Critical Hit Oli seems not so active, might not include him in the list. Is there anyone I'm missing? Anyone in red? Btw the rank figures are basically how big a presence as a mod/how much power they appear to have...in my eyes anyway. No offense to all.
Ashley Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I have a feeling my card would be very average. You're mini-Flink! Everyone knows you. Ashley (100) Sith Lord (I mean no offense by this, it's just the most unrealistically powerful sounding title) But...but...I'm nice you cunt! Can't I just be the most powerful man in the world?

ReZourceman Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Its should be noted that I have experience in creating exciting game mechanics.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Force the darksidePerhaps from a stat of 0 (a fairly neutral, carefree guy) to someone who is known to do good things (50) or seem like an evil kind of guy (-50). -40 would beat 30, for instance. I recommend both a good and an evil attribute. I'd be up for writing a few Pokemon-style cards, actually - especially if someone wants to do artwork. I could.
ReZourceman Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 I'd be very much willing/want to do artwork for cards! We could have a mixture of pictures and photos I think would work well. I've done a logo....I don't mean to take control but meh. I wanted to so blah. Also had a few ability/type/attribute ideas. ----------- Team Affiliation - (Could have abilities attached) examples : Admin and ModeratorsAshley Dan Dare Retro Link etc Mafia Game GuildNintendohnut Cube Dannyboy-the-Dane etc. Uncharted 2 GangReZourceman dwarf gourami Jonst etc. --------- Most frequent board Most frequent thread (Could have game mechanics attached, that possibly come into play like ally or rivalries) ---------- Former Member Type Cards Etc.
EEVILMURRAY Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Couldn't have anything like Stadium cards then... too vague.
ReZourceman Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Sure you could. ------------------ Specific card traits. Dannyboy-the-Dane "I Refuse To Fight Her!" - If your opponent plays a "Molly" member card, then discard this card.
Raining_again Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 It doesn't need to be so complicated though... that's the beauty of top trumps
Cube Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 It doesn't need to be so complicated though... that's the beauty of top trumps With the first edition all we need is - Name - Picture - Witty comment - Stats. We can make it more complicated in other stages.
gaggle64 Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 It doesn't need to be so complicated though... that's the beauty of top trumps Yes, for god's sake. The simpler the whole concept remains the easier it'll be to accomplish. Otherwise you'd be doing it professionally anyway.
Sheikah Posted August 30, 2010 Author Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks for the ideas. I'll try to keep it simple for now, and maybe try aim for about 40-50 cards initially. ReZ, do you want to do any illustrations for this? Or were you referring to making Pokemon cards?

Paj! Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 Can I do some of the illustrations too? I love the feeling. My favourite thing about trading cards and stuff was when you loved a certain style of illustration on some of them and tried to find all the ones the same artist did. Card games with different illustrators FTW.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 30, 2010 Posted August 30, 2010 So who comes up with the different cards? I.e. who decides the values, flavour text etc. of the ReZourceman card, for instance?
