Archetype Generator Meta

[ChampionZero]

Should we all put up a list of things we like for the sake of convenience?

 

EDIT: Here, I'll start.

 

DARK and FIRE Attributes

Anything Type that goes well with FIRE and DARK (Machine, Spellcaster, Dragon, etc.)

Evolving boss monsters (Like Raidraptors or HRDA) or combining boss monsters (Anime Meklords, V-to-Z)

Any Extra Deck type works (but I like Pendulum and Xyz the most)

Wordplay names (Like Nightmare Engines, based off the phrase "Nightmare Fuel")

Yu-Gi-Oh-Antagonist Ace monsters (Like Blue-Eyes, Galaxy-Eyes, Red Dragon Archfiend, etc.)

Anime concepts that didn't make it into the game (Dark Synchro, Meklords, etc.)

I think that sounds like a good idea. It'd make it easier than looking back at past prompts and trying to figure out what each other likes. But what about everyone else? What does everyone else think?

[Draconus297]

Definitely a good idea.

 

Here's a quick reminder of things I like-

FIRE and DARK Attributes

Dragons, Spellcasters, and Rocks primarily, but a minor love for Reptiles and Plants

The number 3 (Level/Rank 3, 6, 9, 12- the number following my username is 3^3 × 11)

Counter systems (Spell Counters, Fungal Serpents- Spore Counters, Aeons- Aeon Counters, Des-Draco- Draconian Counters, etc)

Unusual mechanic usage (using Pendulums to place Spell Counters, split Pendulum Scales,

  Quote

,using Ra forms to make #35, etc)

All Summon types, because hell yeah

Battle-focus (Dark Scorpions, Aromas, my own Dragon Boss Rush)

Ham- going absolutely nuts with effects that might not be practical, but certainly look/feel cool. Nuke effects and killing the unkillable tend to fall into this niche, as well as multi-attacks.

[The Nyx Avatar]

Alrighty. It's settled then. A list of the stuff I like:

 

Favorite Extra Deck Summon is Synchro

 

More often than not HATES Grave-triggering effects (so Shaddoll and Burning Abyss).

 

Favorite Type is Fiend

 

Favorite Attribute is LIGHT

 

So favorite combination of the two is LIGHT Fiend.

 

Likes banishing, banish-triggering, banish recovery (really, I'm just banish-happy).

 

My favorite Levels are 3, 4, and 7.

 

I like occult/supernatural archetypes.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

General stuff I like

• Things related to franchises I like (see Pokemon, Zootopia [ZPD archetype], etc.)
• MPB
• Stardust Dragon stuff (or Dragon Synchros)
• Majespecters
• Ice Barrier
• My Flyer stuff (either use the link in sig marked [Flyers] under card gallery or reference the 2016 Easter egg locations [#33].)
• HEROs (although this is going for non-"Rank 4 spam UTL" versions; Synchro HEROs are something I'm doing for a fanfic)
• Stuff that draws on my home state or other concepts
• Mostly WIND, LIGHT and FIRE stuff, but diverse Attributes are cool.
• Psychic Dragons (see Latias)

But yeah, do as you will with this list. 

[The Nyx Avatar]

Two things:

 

1. The gift will be in generated cards.

 

2. I think I'll hold off my next AGM project for now; in the meantime, I'll work on the AGM gift and have it posted by Christmas Eve.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

I have a later timezone, so Christmas may be ending or will have ended by the time I post the gift for whomever I'm supposed to be giving stuff for. But yeah, shelving AGM projects for this for the time being (that, and I still have to run the Postseason).

 

(Now to figure out what my recipient likes)

[Draconus297]

There is a slight issue that I've recently discovered- Dova hasn't been online in four days. Could be personal issues, could be just not logging on.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Could be personal issues.

 

I probably would be gone too if I didn't find out why my net was shot on Thursday; if I didn't get this fixed, I'd be gone until the 23rd and that would've screwed up my plans to make stuff for this club. (That's why I wasn't online on the 15th, or most of the day, thereof)

[Tojin]

Popping in to say that I'm ditching Aztech (something I probably should have done months ago, ahaha), and to add my list of Things I Enjoy to the mix.

 

• Spammy archetypes (in the vein of Blackwings, Constellars, Tellarknights, etc.)
• FLIP effects
• Rock, Psychic, Machine, and Warrior-type monsters
• Battle damage effects
• LIGHT, EARTH, and WIND-attribute monsters
• Generic, simple effects
• The weird, pseudo-pack filler cards with strange effects (like Engraver of the Mark, the one Wyrm-type Pandora's Box monster, and Ghost Fairy Elfobia)
• Weak and/or low-level monsters that make up for their lack of stats with great effects

Massive props if you can manage to combine all of these into ~4 cards. =P

Right now, I don't think we're accepting. (Draco, did you even see this post?)

 

Ah right, and hopefully Dova shows up; otherwise whomever he was supposed to design stuff for isn't going to be happy. 

[Draconus297]

I'm just ignoring apps for the moment.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Fair enough.

 

Oh right, and if you're wondering where your usergroup came from, I suppose you can take it as an early Xmas gift for the work you put into developing this.

Especially when we had at least two other users try to get in not too long ago. You know, I don't think we ever reached a conclusion with those two.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Well, those two were JellisOP and shadowliepard, but both of them did note their inactivity issues. I see the former around in rare cases, but latter, not so much (if at all lately). 

 

To be fair, I don't really have a definitive opinion on those two.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure JellisOP often, but I think shadowliepard puts a good amount of effort in their threads (but again, the problem of inactivity comes up).

 

It was up to a vote, but I don't remember us ever reaching a conclusion.

[ChampionZero]

I'm always for new blood, tbh. But if they can't be active... why bother?

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

If (chronic) inactivity were the case, then we'd have to boot some of the existing members out; a few of whom have been mentioned several times by now (or otherwise have no interest in posting here). 

[Tojin]

So wait, when exactly are we learning who our Secret Santa recipients are? I just want to make sure I hadn't missed anything, seeing as it's Christmas Eve and all.

[Draconus297]

Ah. There were only five confirmed active members when I contacted Yui to randomize the names. Sorry.

[Tojin]

whoops sheet

 

Oh well. I'm still making Christmas cards, but now it's just gonna be one for everyone!

[Tinkerer]

I'd like to return to this. Anyone have an archetype I should do?

[Draconus297]

Glad to see you back, Tink.

 

No recommendations, but do you have a wishlist?
