Card Trading Talk

[Leeravitz]

Having a dedicated forum for card - trading is a definite way to ensure that decent sportsmanship and good - natured haggling prevail, I think. And it seems to be the case that most players aren't jealous about their card hoards to a substantial extent anyhow. The majority, I think, take the view that we'll need to pool resources to solve the central mystery, particularly if the cards turn out, on close inspection, to provide 'clues' to the greater game at large. There needs to be some kind of set - up where those who care for the score table have the opportunity to play as they wish to, but also a way in which overall revelations get related back to everyone. That, I imagine, is what most players on the forum would support. But, obviously, I don't speak for everyone - I speak for myself. So, let's get a heated discussion going!

[JebJoya]

Umm, yeah, I suppose I should say I support that plan

I definitely think this is a good idea, it'll stop other threads being clogged up with requests/ adverts for cards

[tanner]

just a thought -- dunno where to put it -- but when people get their cards maybe they could tell us in a thread formatted by comma seperation like :-
number, colour, design(pixel hex or whatever), name, quadrant

this would make it easy to put into spreadsheet or database etc

just a thought

[JebJoya]

tanner, how is:

TRADE027, RED, PIXEL, BAR NONE, BL

(this is for the 333 pxc bar none card btw)

just putting in TRADE027 would help a la Bri's suggestion

I to will support this idea, but if Mind Candy add their own boards for trading, surly that won't be nessesary. We will however need these boards to discuss ARG stuff and solves that probably won't be welcome on any IG boards.
So keep the card boards - we are a community after all

Something like http://www.tradecardsonline.com/ would be ideal.

I'm not sure how difficult that would be to set up, but if anyone is willing to undertake it I'll offer my services as a webdesigner. I know HTML, and CSS, but no advanced stuff that this would need like php or mysql.

[Leeravitz]

Yes. Maybe Mind Candy will come up with some specialist boards *IF WE KEEP NAGGING THEM ENOUGH*

Out of curiosity, how many packs of cards have you purchased in order to get to the point where you are only missing 9 of the first 66 cards dusty?

From a quick count, it looks like you have about 9 packs worth of duplicates alone. I guess I could use the same logic to deduce that you've probably purchased about 18 or 19 total packs. Is that accurate?

I've only purchased 7 packs thus far and I have about half of the first 66 cards. Blixxt: How many packs have you bought? I have about the same number of duplicates as you (10) so I'm curious to see if I'm getting more or less duplicates than other people. I live in Oakland and get my cards at Games of Berkeley so maybe we could make some trades. My current stock is as follows:


EDIT 1: I've now purchased 13 packs and I posess 52 unique puzzle cards. This puts my duplicate ratio right at 1 in every 3 cards. I've heard a lot of talk about there only being 66 cards available, but I have one card that I do not see in the card catalog yet (Silver #241) so it looks like there are at least 67. Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner and there is no text to transcribe so I can't show it

I've updated my current stock as shown below:

#009 (1 Duplicate)
#013 (2 Duplicates)

Any cards that I have duplicates of are available for trade (or sale I guess).

[dusty2229]

You are correct in your count Brevity ( 18 )

BTW Have you uploaded any info for card #241 yet?

[Brevity]

Hey, I noticed that it wasn't in the catalog and there was no forum dedicated to it yet, but I don't have a scanner at home to get a picture of it up for you guys. I'm not really familiar with scanning things either but I can probably figure out a way to do it at work today. I'm a little weary of uploading a scan that is too high resolution though.

I guess I can check out the Questions forums and there is probably instructions on this sort of thing

I guess that means I have one card that you don't have (for now) hehe.
