/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>>9044147
AWESOME! busy for a while but very excited to see the updates.

Damn. I have to leave for work now. Would have liked to play a game!

Suggesting for a black card: If you don't like my name, don't name your kid Isaki ____ ____ ____ -chan!' for Lolitas against humanity.

Looking for moar. We had about 8 people at one time and are now down to 3.

>>9044329
I'll join! I just have to switch from mobile to my computer. Thanks so much for doing this btw!

>>9044147
Is "dying your contact lenses with koolaid" a card?

>>9044382
There's one with food coloring

>>9044300
this is really good, but would probably transform into a dump round a lot of the time. what do others think?

whats the password?

>>9044529
Host changed hands and they probably felt like it needed one? We need to purge the spectators after this game anyway so we'll all leave and create a new one.

A lot of us are done for the night, but anyone is free to host up their own game!

>>9044552
It was a fun night, thanks for hosting

dropped a $20 for now, would like to stay anonymous!

Game?

>>9044727
Looking For More: http://xyzzy.gulls.co/game.jsp#game=1

>>9044722
Bess you anon! Please enjoy the games and the services gulls will have to offer here soon!

Anyone who donates btw will remain anonymous. The donations come with limited information but I would never post names on the board or in chat.

>>9044498
Hm, yeah, you're probably right, but there is potential for it to be really good if there were a few more single word cards. I've noticed so far that the whites tend to be full sentences more or less, and the blacks often lend themselves better to one word or part of a sentence.

But it's just such a huge deck there's no real way around it.

Poor poochyena :(

>>9044828
Awe yeah! I won this one!

I try

ALTERNATE SUGGESTIONS FOR "TRASHING PROPS" (CON) CARD
The card is not well liked but the event it references was huge in the East Coast con scene.

>Instead of confiscating them, con security is outright trashing ____.
>What common convention staple is con security literally throwing into the garbage this year?
>If con security confiscates ____, understand you will never see it again.
>I busted my ass off on ____ only for con security to trash it as soon as I walked through the doors.

Or change to white card:
>Trashcans filled with wooden props.

Server is down. Contacting my support team now.

>>9045528
Back up. I had to do it myself. Support smupport.

>>9045556
strong independent freems don't need no support

>sassy_black_morgan_freeman.jpeg

I guess since I have nothing better to do, go a few games?

YO! GET IN HERE!

Still playing, still cruel

Point out the wrong answer... you can't...

>>9044147
Bless you /cgl/ this is hilarious

Last game was pretty great, good cards, better comments

> if i wear ap, i should go with a cat print because my puss gon show

>>9045859
omg

Anyone wanna play?

>>9046444
I'd be down!

Hmmm, from now on, I would like to encourage before it starts to keep all Xyzzy related stuff, such as screencaps, conversations, and anything else that may arise during the course of gameplay, confined to these threads. This is to ensure all other threads stay on topic and not to appear to be forcing the game onto others.

If you have something which you believe needs it's own discussion or thread, please head over to the /cah/ board here to discuss it: http://boards.gulls.co/cah/

That said, who's down for a game soon?

Any games going?

>>9047000
>>9047066

Same 4 cards, different outcome

>>9047404
Holy FUCK, you're right... the odds are astronomical for that exact same play to occur, much less be capped....

>>9047404
HOW

THE

FUCK

>mfw i try to copy a link on mobile

also wew we have been having 10+ people wantig to play lately, very nice

To those who have been checking in all morning, no I am not always there. I got up early and began handling the hyperlink situation and I think I found the problem. The solution, however, is going to take some time to think about. Kaiba if you're really an engineer, bro I could use your help tackling this one.

Anyway, all changes to the game which were experimental have been reverted and the server is ready for play again. I will queue up a game and hope to see peeps within about an hour from this post.

Where's the lie?

We had some good games earlier today, now let's get the night crew going! Game is started, come join for the shenanigans!

http://xyzzy.gulls.co/game.jsp#game=1

y'all jump in

Thanks to everyone who participated last night, some good games were played.

I am happy to announced this morning that the software has been modified to allow auto hyperlinks! Remember to include your http:// before the url so it will auto-hyperlink.

Hello everyone who was playing last night. I'm sorry for falling asleep mid game

>>9049352
You aren't the first, you won't be the last. We were glad to have you with us, please play again soon!

Also "Whats tha't sound" has FINALLY been found, and now moved to the META deck.

Alright folks, scheduling a game for 2PM PST, 45 min from now. Hope to see you there and let's have another good laugh at ourselves, shall we?

>>9049567
will try to be there! thanks for fixing the hotlink issue

>>9049567
Ugh, none of my changes worked and it fucked up the chat. Changes have been reverted and chat is working again.

apology for poor english

[7:03:38 PM] <MrFreeman> Also small requests to anon here. I would appreciate if it's not too much to ask to post in the game's thread on /cgl/ so it doesn't look like I'm posting to myself for attention

>>9049835
anyone want another game tonight?

>>9049834
This is funny somehow but I don't get it.

>>9049835
... or AM I?

Anyone around to play now?

>>9050013
I just jumped in. I could play if anyone else is down.

If anyone wants to play, I've got a game up. I'll start once we have 4 people. If we don't have enough people within 30 minutes or so, I'll probably call it quits.

>>9050074
Alright, we're starting! Feel free to join in!

We're still playing--hosting games for the late-night crowd. Jump in anytime.

Game just cleared out because it's getting late on the east coast. Still down to host. Will wait about 30min for people to join in--will start once we have 4.

Just need one more person!

>>9050242
We are off and running! come on in, game in progress! Jump in anytime.

>>9051549
>tfw i was there

>>9051530
ALSO

"Girlytoot" should be watermarked CGL, not EGL. "Girlyhoot" would be fine for EGL but the -toot is a CGL hateboner reference specifically.

>>9051642
>>9051530
Changed and fixed. Who wants to schedule a game for later today? 3pm PST sound good? 1:45 from now?

>>9052506

5 MINUTES TO JOIN GAME

GET IN

>>9052738
GAME STARTED, TAB BACK TO IT YA NOOBS YOU ARE GETTING SKIPPED

More people should join this game!

NEXT GAME IN FIVE MINUTES

grab your cheeto-dusted fedora and your poochyena plush and get in

to the anon who added a black card about the name of AP's new print:

1. we already have a black card that references the name of a new AP release.

2. you did not watermark your entry.

please be more mindful.

>>9053485
Not the anon who added the card, but...
Isn't the card we already have Baby's new release? Still, too similar.

>>9053489
we have a card for each, main difference being Baby's is draw 2 because Baby gonna Baby.

i also did not add the un-watermarked "New this year: ____con" due to other cards having the ____-con construction. this one could use something to set it apart; the others are draw 2 so having a draw 1 could be fun, but with a wording change to help guide card choices.

SUGGESTED POTENTIAL ALTERATIONS:

>New this year: ___con. It's as awesome as it sounds.
>New this year: ___con. It's as disgusting as it sounds.
>I'm totally going to ___con this year, before it gets too popular.
>New this year, from the people who brought you Dashcon: ___con.
>I'm not sure if ___con sounds more horrifying or amazing but I already bought tickets.
>New this year from ReedPOP: ___con.

>>9052944

Someone please come up with a good card referencing this historic event.

>>9054067
White card: a Burando ironing board

Black card: My housemate took my _____ dress and turned it into a cover for the ________

I suppose?

>>9054073
I'll have CAH anon review that. They're better at this than I am.

Anyway, how about next game at 1 PM PST?

What's that? It's 1 PM PST right now? Well I guess I better get in there!

[1:05:31 PM] <MrFreeman> We'll wait for a few more and get started
[1:08:37 PM] <MrFreeman> Annnny second now we'll get someone

Whew. We're starting!

We're starting a new game in 1 minute!

>>9054073
>Black card: My housemate took my _____ dress and turned it into a cover for the ________

No, it should be
My housemate took my ____ and made it into a(n) ____

And $400 ironing board cover should be a white

>>9054073
kek. added early this morning already. has it come up in play?

>>9054276
"$400 ironing board cover" is better than "A kawaii ironing board" imo, would support editing the white card to read that instead.

if peeps are still up to play i will change phone batt and get in

>>9054420
game in 10 mins

Game is on! Come join us!

>>9054476
NEXT GAME STARTING

>>9054886
We're done for the night, but the link is upthread here >>9044732

This card has to be fix so we can play two cards instead of just one

Anyone wanna play?

>>9055818
yesss brt

to the gull who added "I heard she bought 50 ____ etc. etc." today:

i did not add your card to the deck, because we already have it. you also did not watermark this. please be mindful, and lurk more before adding any cards.

>>9056022
i would also like to discuss the white cards added today.

dear Anonymous:

1. please use the following link to make sure you are not entering duplicate card ideas: http://xyzzy.gulls.co/viewcards.jsp.. check for variations of what you want to enter. for example, a search for "iron" will bring up pre-existing "A kawaii ironing board," indicating you need not add another reference to it.

2. step 1 works best if you also review your spelling and grammar before submitting a card or conducting a search. "kawaiorning" will not yield results, so be mindful of your typos.

3. ensure your cards are watermarked with the appropriate abbreviation for their genre. if they do not fit into one of the 4 cgl decks, they are probably off-topic and should not be added.

4. test your ideas for new black cards on multiple preexisting white cards, and ideas for new white cards on multiple preexisting black cards. make sure they will work with a good percentage of cards, and if you are entering a set (a white card that is meant to complete a black card), make sure you do not duplicate words. e.g., in the 50 dicks black and white card set, you entered 50 twice, once on black and once on white. while i like the idea of having the 50 as part of the white card, a) we already have a version of this phrase as a black and white card set, and b) "She bought 50 50 dicks" sounds like way more dicks than she actually bought.

in sum, dear Anon, your enthusiasm is appreciated but these cards will need some edits before they can be added. i will suggest some changes later since i do not think we can delete cards, but it will be up to Mr. Freeman whether they can be added or no.

>i also added to their respective decks (COS and CGL) a number of cards that were being composed at the same time other anon(s) were entering cards. those which were watermarked are all added as of this time. it is just the batch of unwatermarked ones that have issues that cause me to refrain from adding them.

7:30pm PST? Is it nightcrew time yet?

http://xyzzy.gulls.co/game.jsp#game=0

Remember that late night game I was talking about? Let's see if we can get it started!

>>9059604
Sorry gulls, my wifi just shit itself. Good playing with you guys.

So it loooooks like the server might have gone down for absolutely no reason. If I were to reboot it, who would come back in?

>>9059670
Not your wifi! Stick around, it'll be back!

>>9059671
I'd come back, thought it was just on my end

Guys I'm watching Freeman do hacker things while crossfaded.

He's narrating.

It's awesome.

>>9059671
Tea here, it's probably a sign that I should hit the hay so I'm gonna do that. Really great game though, you guys are the best

CG here, I can't connect to the server. Gonna go study. GG everyone.

>>9059677
Oh ok, if it goes back up I'll join. Keeping an eye on this thread.

>>9059676
>>9059677
Nooooooo!

Well it was so nice to meet you guys! <3 Sleep tight!

Looks like the server's hiccup is too much for me to fix tonight. Hopefully it will be up and running in the morning. Night folks!

Server is still down and I have to pay for tech support a monthly fee in order to get the support I need to get the server back up and running. It's total BS... I will do what I can but hopefully all the card data isn't lost. I have a backup, but it's not too recent...

>>9060294
How much is it? Could we all help and collect the money?

>>9060298
this.

>>9060488
>>9060298
After what seems like an eternal wait, the server, for no given reasons, is up and running again. The game is back folks!

Anyone up for some games? I'm connected

anyone playing tonight?

Bump! Still playing, for anyone who wants to join a /cgl/-related game!

I want to thank anon for their donation! Much appreciated!

heads up, helper anon is having phone issues and may not be able to participate for a few days

>mfw

PROPOSAL:

Mr. Freeman, can we create expansion decks for each of our main 3 decks? players often seem to want to experience new cards, and i think we have enough to divide them. i cannot create a deck but i am happy to move newer cards to the "expansion" decks.

also i have my phone back in working order and would be free to play within the next hour

>>9120841
>players often seem to want to experience new cards, and i think we have enough to divide them
to explain this:

despite the HUGE number of cards, we often see repeats. so if veteran players want something new, we can unselect the "base" decks (of the more familiar stuff) and only play with the newer cards. is this a good idea?

>>9120841
I don't see why not. We need a list of ready cards though.

>>9121151
i could work on making lists and such relatively soon.

for now: GAME IN 17 MINUTES. i miss all you nerds and your crazy blank skills (pic related)

>>9122117
You dead, anon?

>>9122281
Yep, I was too late for a game too

>>9122287
I've actually been watching the thread for some time and it hasn't budged.

Let's go ahead now.

SUGGESTED CARD FIXES

CON deck, Black:
>That photog shooped my pictures so much, not I [etc.]
*now

CON Deck, White:
>almost meeting snacks at Dragon*Con
suggest move to Meta deck?

EGL Deck, Black
>For International Lolita Day, I am making a ___ coord using ___ etc.
this often ends up as a trash round. suggested potential change:
*Once I have ____, my International Lolita Day coord inspired by ____ will finally be complete!

>If you don't like my name, don't name YOUR kid Isaki ____ ____ ____-chan!
*should be draw 3

the game is about to start but i will find other shit later!
