I was also thinking about Blind Eternities, but I was put off flavourfully because it's the chaotic space between planes and not the place in which they reside. But that's not a great reason.
If you can get multiverse.net somehow that'd be awesome :)
I don't know how many sets would ever be considered done, then. All my slots are filled for Magic 20XD6. I still have occasional flavor text, testing and maybe images to put in. I don't ever think I'll be 'done'. I would assume that applies to many people.
Well, you could just have a way for the owner to flag a set as done?
Ooh, interesting. Particularly given the somewhat unclear definition of "completed". I do see the problem, but I'm not quite sure what to do about it. Perhaps on the front page I could list the number of cardsets, but also say "of which [29] have more than 150 cards", or "have their target number of cards" (deduced from the skeleton).
Does the front page show 5 random cards in Multiverse, or 5 cards at random from 5 random sets? If it's the former, then people who put in the work and make a lot of cards would get the bump. If it's the latter, however, the focus gets shifted to the large number of people who made 10 or less cards, then flew away. Kind of reminds me of the big state vs. little state problem we had/have when writing the U.S. Constitution. Except, in this situation, I'd think that we'd prefer to favor those who did the work...
I like the word 'forge', but I've noted that so don't a lot of other people. Too many other non-Multiverse projects have tacked that word into their working title.
How about "The Blind Eternities"? The name sounds cool, anyone with a working knowledge of Magic flavor gets the reference that The Blind Eternities is a neutral zone between all planes, and, while I'd be a bit concerned about copyright infringement... well... you know... this is a site dedicated to designing your own Magic cards. I'm pretty sure that if Wizards felt threatened by us, they could take this whole operation down in nigh half a fortnight. As long as we're adding to the community, I wouldn't think they'd mind.
I like Multiverse Cardset Database. BTW, www.multiverse.net will be available soon, since the company went out of business.
Better than the cost for ".verse" :) Although someone should eventually buy that :)
Open Multiverse has good connotations.
Cardsetorama? Tcgverse?
mu.ltiver.se :)
EDIT: ouch, ok. not at €79 a pop.
Well, arbitrary top level domains are now available - multi.verse ?
(Jack is referring to the potential new site names referred to in the Multiverse user survey.)
Yeah, currently people are mostly in favour of keeping the name "Multiverse". I am factoring in a significant element of "That's what I'm used to", but there's also reasonable amounts of "none of the others are very good".
Part of the problem is that there isn't much clear concept for what a cardset is. An MTG expansion. A new world (hence "plane").
Further ideas, mostly bad:
I wanted to comment on the possible domain names (Multimultiverse, Plane Maker, Planar Forge), and expected other people might too.
I'm really not sure. I didn't really like any of the suggested ones, but I'm not sure how much that's because I'm used to "Multiverse" -- maybe you should ask some people who are NOT current users of multiverse what they think? :)
Multimultiverse sounds relevant but clunky. The two "planar" suggestions sound fine, but I'm not sure how much people will associate them with magic.
I tried to think of other suggestions, and nothing came to mind, sorry!
I agree "Multiverse" is most apt, but has the somewhat downside that it's a bit generic, and the big downside that it may infringe wizards (I mean, they probably haven't copyrighted it because it's only used internally, but it might be impolite. OTOH, they might not care, I don't know.)
I wonder if there may be some variant of "Multiverse" that has the right connotations? "Public multiverse"? "Parallel multiverse"? "Clockwork Multiverse"? "Hyperverse"?
This was a suggestion in the feedback survey, and it seems like it'd actually be pretty easy.
Notes to self:
Instructions on how to import from web. Example XML cardset list. It appears to need card spoilers formatted like this, but I can probably arrange for that.
:)
Thanks!
Yep, sorry about that. When trying to tighten up security, I managed to, ah, tighten it up a bit too much. Should be fixed now.
Me too. Alex says he's working on it :)
same here for about the last 24 hours
I've had that problem since this morning.
I would create a card for this, but, well... I can't make cards. I get an error whenever I try. It may be my laptop, so I'll try it on another device, but I thought I should say something.
Yeah, it would be nice to open up Multiverse for user contributions. I am indeed a bit wary of the overhead of managing patches, but I ought to give it a go.
BTW, Mandroid, one option for looking at a subset of your cardset is: in Firefox, the cardlist page supports multi-sorting. So sort by rarity, then colour, and all your green commons will be grouped together. It's really irritating that this only works in Firefox, but I haven't got around to debugging the third-party table library I'm using.
FWIW, I think it would be good if it were possible for other people to contribute stuff. I have't had time lately, but in principle it would be good to be able to say "How about blah, and here's a patch to do it" rather than "How about blah, though I know it's a lot of work." And that if you're ever not able to go on devoting time to Multiverse, it's easier for someone else to help out.
I wouldn't worry about the accessibility of the code: I think it's normal that people say "I really wish this was tidy, but unfortunately it's not; you're welcome to play with it if you want, but be warned, you may not want to" :)
Conversely, managing contributions to a project is a lot of work itself, so I think it's up to you whether you'd rather be coding yourself or managing patches :)
There is a "search whole site" option, linked from the top of every page. And yes, I do consider security, and I take care to sanitise my inputs already. (Multiverse is written in Ruby on Rails, which makes it very easy to do that.)
I'm glad you like the site :)
I think I could reasonably say that you shouldn't expect any formatting (which includes triple-bracket links) to work within \
Also if you click on your browser's options and view the source you will see this instead of the anchor tags:
Cockroach: A card that just won't die, and is annoying, but not strong enough to draw the ire of the other players at the table. <a name="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=card&amp;name=bloodghast" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=+[%22Bloodghast%22]" class="wizardscard">Bloodghast</a>
[etc]
So I guess it's really just up to you to fix it.
