Not Telling
So,
Basically I like this forum, even if its not really active and just a recreation of Spleenbegone.com
But more importantly is, what do we want for it?
Do we want a simple arcade?
Do we want an OpenRPG?
Do we want this, Do we want that?
I think this is especially important because I remember at spleenbegone, I would leave for years, only to come back because I love the place
But Lack of activity is most forums' biggest issue....
So what do we do?
This is more of a suggestion to brainstorm than a suggestion to do this or that
I know I watch a lot of starcraft videos
-HD Starcraft, Husky, etc
If we were to have an RSS feed that updates whenever they have a new video, that would be kinda dope
That way I don't have to go to youtube and check, I just can come here and check
Just throwing it out there
Topics I've Started
Magic the gathering: Mirrodin Disappoints and innistrad interests me
15 January 2012 - 07:44 PM
My deck back when Alara and Zendikar was standard was something similar to...
http://www.mtgvault....x?DeckID=283216
Though I could compete, it wasn't a winner all to often
However, I loved it
And I'm still looking to make it work
With mirrodin, i was sincerely excited, followed by dissappointment
Many of the white creatures were dumpy and expensive
Though I did like the equipment
however, with innistrad, I'm really excited for a couple of reasons
1) Mentor of the meek - Some Solid Drawing capabilities I've been looking for
2) Champion of the Parish - with the right cards, this can be a 3/3 on turn 2 and a 6/6 or more on turn three
-though I need to rework my deck alot, I believe it would be worth it for proper rush down
3) Gather the Townsfolk - This is something that already exsists, but has been pretty buffed up by the 5 tokens with 5 life. This can be a nice last minute buff with champion If I play it right
4) invisible Stalker - Quietus spike is one heck of a card, and invisible stalker is just the right kind of creature to deal the damage
5) Stichers apprentice - Chump Blockers for days. I'm a big fan of always having a creature when sacrificing something else. also triggers "when comes into play" on some creatures. I definitly think its one of the better cards in the set
6) doomed traveler - after a day of judgement or wrath of god hits, I still have a creature. and with 2 honor of the pures out and 2 ardent pleas, it turns from a 1/1 to a 5/5
7) Mikaeus, the Lunarch - another pumper, similar to phantom nantuko except hits all of your creatures
8) Spectral Rider - Because flying doesn't always cut it when it comes to evasion
I probably still wont play standard until Infect has left
But I still am pretty happy with innistrad

Reservation system in 4 days (about 18 hours)
15 January 2012 - 06:22 PM
samtobia.com/reservation
This is a system i made in about 4 days
Uses a custom xml Database that I created a Binary Search for
Was pretty happy about that
I'm probably going to rework it a bit and put all the php inside the actual database folder so It would be a simple include function to get all the functions and etc (much like java's import)
Also Plan to rework the database so that I can neatly pack away massive data as well as a SQL to XML conversion tool
I like XML more because...
1) it makes a hell of a lot more sense visually than SQL
-Nested information within information just makes sense to me. Attributes make sense to me. A giant table does not
2) Due to the fact it shares schema with HTML, I'll eventually find a use for DomDocument there also I'm sure
-Like making themes actually a complete HTML document with nothing in it (unlike wordpress <.<) and just inputting the appropiate data on the fly
Oracle also created a XML database framework that could go through hundreds of nodes very very quickly.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what the name of it is
But I saw it in a "birds of a feather" at Web 2.0 expo in think back in 2010
But for the most part this is meant to be touch screen and have a login system
So I still need to rework some of the kinks like Eliminating the use for a keyboard and making sure an admin can create simple users
Likewise the admin will be the only one who can create and remove tables
Need to be able to catagorize and place tables into size and locations
However, the Bones are done, just need to put in the meat
