Why aren't cards being posted? I remember with Season 1, within a week at the very most, all the fronts and backs of cards were posted and people were working on them. This season though, cumulative solving of blacks and silvers seems minimal and absolutely no blue or purple cards have been posted. With no mention of other places that might have the cards, I have to wonder... What gives?

Yeah, I agree - Puzzledpineapple's done a great job of getting a load of them up, but there's a hell of a lot more to go. If you have a scanner and a card that's not up yet stick them up! Got no internet at home at the moment (I'm stuck in the middle of Telewest/Virgin media grrr), but as today is a wash-out anyway (no idea who suggested we start on the dessert wine, but it's not conducive to an easy hang-over) so will sneak a few on from work

I'm hoping to get a few done over the weekend, unless there's a sudden rush before I get round to it!

split our resources as a community. Secondly, I actually had a bit of a job to do earlier in the week so have yet to complete my mediocre pile of cards. Thirdly, I think a lot of people are put off posting without scans which is a shame because I started the posting in the hope of getting more of the card backs and piecing together some of the stories (what can I say, I buy the cards to finance the ARG and I'm missing it). Transcriptions are wonderful, amazing things and we need more of them. Fourthly, even the silvers seem to be being solved quite quickly, so there's less discussion and more people giving out hints. Fifthly... I can't think of a fifthly but it sounded like such a good word and I had to use it. Almost as good as sixthly and I don't have one of them either.

I think a lot of the people that used to post them now reside at perplexorum to be honest. It's not that they aren't being posted, they just aren't being posted here, which is a shame.

It is a shame...me and PuzzledPineapple have attacked the lamentable purple section. Now for the rest

Ah, have scanner (well, other half does) but lack many cards. And dinner currently gets in the way of doing the ones I have. Mmm, nuggets and onion rings.

Well there are also a lot of new players since the last major push of cards, and perhaps need reminding.

Oh dear. Having said I'd scan and post some cards, I've now discovered that my scanner's lowest resolution is 75 dpi

Blues sorted now too. Though my typing fingers have given up and transcripts will have to come later.

I've been picking off gaps in the lower colours... was going to investigate greens next.

I might be able to manage a few transcripts if it'll help.
