Title: Combo Corner
Post by: KulrathKnight on June 20, 2012, 10:31:32 AM
What's up with everyone posting requests in Combo Corner recently? If you've got a request, I think we need a naming convention for the threads in which the main goal is acquiring requested combos/cards.

This is just my opinion and nothing actually has to change, but I think it would be better overall if there was some way to differentiate between "Hey look at this sweet combo I know of!" and "Help! I need to know what combos well with this card!" just by looking at the thread name.

Thoughts?

FYI, it was already a combo, I just needed Jester's input on how to subtly take it infinite.

I don't see the harm. It's the section of the forums for combos, right? So isn't that the best place for both existing combos and looking for help with new ones?

I understand what he means, and don't think it was targeting anyone specific. But I think there has been no harm. Although on the subject of mass thread take over, the number of straight up games has gotten to me a little, since I like reading the card nick names and such and they are being buried. We could use a new topic section for playing IMO.

It wasn't actually aimed at anyone, just a trend I noticed. I thought maybe if we had some kind of naming convention for the different types of combo threads it would make it more streamlined to find the type of thread you're looking for. It's not really doing any harm as it stands, just a suggestion I had.

I suggested long ago that people use the card names in the name of the thread so that it's easier to find things at a glance.  It never caught on.

I like keeping things organized.  How about a (?) in the name if it's a request instead of showing a combo?  Frankly it doesn't bother me, but just offering a suggestion.

I agree with what was said about the Wall-Game takeover in Games, we should create a new thread for Wall-Games, it's too popular and buries other topics.

I enjoy them, but it would be good of they had their own section...

Yeah same here ^

I think they are insanely fun (slow at times)....but still fun! They help test decks and let me play with a big variety of decks and people. But yes they need their own section lol
