I'd like to see them organized alphabetically by designer... So far, only cherrytree and Fif have weighed in. Fif has the opinion: Alphabetical by designer. Within each designer's cards, alphabetical also? Other options might be chronological (date posting order, which might be easier to update) or grouping related cards together (e.g., derek's recent "Monster" and "Delta Promos" series). My vision would be to include only print-ready (300 dpi or above) cards, eliminating some of the early cards that were tiny and/or horrible (e.g., BaylorGirl's Dizzy Bunny). However, that would eliminate almost all of Omfgitsvico's work, which would be a darn shame, since so many of those cards are really good even though the artwork is rough. What are some good criteria? Or, should it really be "all", even if the artwork has disappeared from the 'net? (which is sometimes by design, but most often due to neglect or changing conditions). Tyberius took down many of this cards after his image host closed up shop. Then, how to display them? A grid (like I did with Lacota's Original Chaotic Chocoate), or one-card-per-line like I did with the Card Set Contest cards? Or something else entirely? Maybe have one thread per artist? Include Bunny Bits or not?

I say list them by artist. There are many very poor quality cards, these should not be included (I like only including 300 DPI print ready cards)
Bunny bits should be included as well as a smallish image preview)
You might want to save the photos you plan on using and host them yourself to keep them current.

I like having alphabetical by username and chronologically within each users post... Maybe a new thread would be good but only if there were an entire new sub-board...

If not in their own posts, where do you suggest we put them? There are less than 30 people who have posted artwork here, so a separate board might be suitable with no public posting.

Fif, using your cards as examples, is this the kind of thing you're looking for? Others opinions?
Edit: I have created a sub-board with only collections of users' card ideas with art.

Can you fill in missing dates and missing cards (with links to images)?

Edit: I have posted the top 6 card posters' card ideas with art in its own sub-board.

Everybody whose cards made it in the Official Set last year... We have an excellent example of the Pareto Principle at work here! 6 persons (of 28, about 20%) are responsible for about 80% of the artwork. That will make it fairly easy to finish the posts Yours *, mine *, mjibber's *, and samu's are done. I have to work on Derek's and Omfgitsvico's * and I'm done with these lists. *In the 2009 Official Magic Carrot Card Set.

I've heard of that as the vital few...

Hey Davii,
What is the motivation behind your 'revisited' cards?

Hey Davii, What is the motivation behind your 'revisited' cards? Very good question! The "revisited" cards are those that may fit into any of these categories: - Errors in the original artwork or rule. For example, the original Creative Team Alpha Bingo Flamingo contained two '16' values, which was not correct. Later printings had '16' and '17' but not everyone had those. If they choose to do so, the "revisited" card can be substituted for the original so it makes sense.
Some other cards (Noah's Flood, Bug Off!, Diverse Portfolio!) originally had incorrect types and were intended to be Very Special but were produced as Special cards. (I do not know if later printings corrected that. Perhaps someone with the B&N Gleeful set or the Remix set can tell me?). These, too, can be substituted directly for the original cards.
- Changes to the cards to account for fan-created cards. For example, with Jackqka's The Black Bunnies, he discovered that there were at least three cards that "should be" modified to take black as a valid bunny color (Day Of The Dead, Random Paintball Assault, and Rainbo).
Additionally, during discussions on this forum, it was reveal that the Free Agent! and Double Free Agent! cards should not apply to The Black Bunnies since they do not apply to the other colored bunnies with special powers (Pink, Red). The "revisited" cards explicitly state this. Like the cards in the first category (above), these can directly substitute for existing cards (which can be taken out of play).
After working on a number of these, I decided to call this "substitute for existing CTA cards" deck Midnight and I will gradually add that moniker to the "revisited" CTA cards that can be replaced. (This is then--more or less--a "house rule" that these cards are in play rather than the standard CTA cards. A host should let his guests know that substitute cards are in play, along with The Black Bunnies so no one is surprised).
- The final group, into which I would place only Atlas Shrugged, we thought were errors (lack of colored dice blocks), but in consultation with JB, it turned out they were created as intended; and, further, that re-rolls due to pawns were disallowed because they were technically to be "colorless" rolls. Since I had gone through the work, I decided to post it, but with enough changes so that it could not be used to create forgeries to sell to unwitting souls on eBay.
Though you didn't ask about them, the "recreated" cards were mostly for Tyberius' Alien deck, which required multiple instances of Area 51, Mothership, and H.E.M.P. Since these are standard cards (and have no "eBay value"), I tried to recreate these as close to the original as possible. (Though the 'Jupiter' is the same one I use on all my other cards that feature 'Jupiter', not a recreation of CTA's Jupiter).

Hey Davii,
Any chance you could put my 6 up on that board as well. They were the six golden bunnies. Do They meet the criteria you have??
