Theme deck feature request

[Munchlaxx]

Hi everyone (especially WPM)

I have two feature requests for the website upgrade. The first one is a no-brainer, the second one you may feel free to laugh at ... but what can I say, I'm a reckless visionary:

1. Deck-list card links: Please add links to card graphics on the theme deck pages so that one can study them and think about how the deck would work when played. Placing the card graphics on the page (so that the attacks are legible or pop-up-able) would make it that much better.

2. Custom graphic deck lists: Create a page for the site including a tool that could dynamically generate a graphic deck-list based on a user written deck list (written in a "proper" pre-defined format). One could imagine copy-pasting a properly written (and tested) deck list from the forums into the tool to "see" your friends deck.

P.S. This wäcky custom graphic deck-list feature would of course give regular deck garage visitors a good reason to write their example deck lists in a standardized manner making it easier for the brave volunteer mechanics to interpret and resolve.

#1 is already in the works. #2 is planned for the future, but might not happen.

Supercool, looking forward to it ... in 2008 perhaps?

Feature request #2 is my little dream mostly because I'm new to the game. Maybe after our card collection grows and we have more playing experience then online graphic deck building may not be as interesting ... and I understand that using the card graphics too liberally may catch the attention of Nintendo and rock the boat.

... new idea.

Although I really like the idea of using graphics as a "carrot" to encourage people to write more legible deck-lists another solution could be to make graphic files available to the forum with file names that could be referenced with the square bracket attachment=1234 code. People could then add the code around the correct name of the card as text in their posts. The users could avoid the bother of downloading the files from Pokébeach to their own drive and then uploading them again with the tedious forum attachment interface as I have started to do here below. But someone ... (ahem) ... would have to decide what the correct reference name of each card would be, rename them and somehow make them reference-able.

ShadowBlaze theme deck:

Pokemon: 27

4x Cyndaquil DF, 2x Quilava DF, 1x Typhlosion DF (psychic)

4x Ekans DF, 1x Arbok ...etc.

Just stop me when the idea's are too hairbrained, Munchlaxx.
