Tutorial
Please read these rules before filling out the join form, even if you are already familiar with oTCGs.
Your Website
To participate in any oTCG, you must have a place to store your cards and other goodies. Your site must have at least one page and must show all of your cards, extras (coupons, etc), level, and a log of all your activities. Your logs don't have to be extremely detailed but they do need to at least list what games you played and the rewards you received. Please remember to never put your answers in any of your logs.
Log Example
Date - Game: reward1, reward2
Please also include a link to Cut & Paste some where on your site. Your site must be set up and ready before you join. Keep in mind, LiveJournal is an acceptable location for your site, however MySpace and other simular places are not allowed.
Direct Linking; Yes or No?
The short answer; no direct linking! The long answer; my host Januaryblue[dot]net does not have a lot of bandwidth so please absolutely no direct linking. If you need a place to store your cards and other goodies you can upload them to sites like PhotoBucket.
Starter Pack
When you join you'll receive a starter pack of three choice regular cards from your favourite deck and five random regular cards. You will receive your staring pack instantly once you have filled out the form, so there will be no waiting! Once you have put your starter pack on your site you are ready to start collecting more cards. You can start trading right away as well, though I would suggest waiting until your member card has been created.
Member Names
Please keep it simple. No numbers or strange punctuation are allowed. If someone has already used the name you wanted to use, you'll have to choose a new name.
Notice Board
You must register on the forum to participate. Please use the same member name on the forums that you choose when you joined so I know who is who. You don't have to do a lot of stuff on the forums if you don't want to, but it's the perfect way to get trades going.
Cheater!
No one likes being called that, so please don't ever cheat. No taking freebies from before you joined, no taking cards from the deck pages without being given permission, no taking cards from other members without completing a trade, etc. I'm pretty sure you get my point. If there is an event or activity that you really can't solve, you can ask for a little bit of help on the forums, but don't expect a detailed responce. Some of the activities are suppose to be challengeing for a reason and there will always be lots of other ways to get cards.
If you've read all rules and are ready to start playing, head on over to the join form.
