kauefr's cards: Comments

I just want to ask out of curiosity. Why did you choose to create a cardset for miscellaneous cards, when Cards With No Home exists? The first time you create a cardset you even get a message suggesting that oneoff miscellaneous card designs could go in Cards With No Home. You're not at all alone in it - loads of users do it - and I'm trying to understand why. (I used to explicitly ask people to move their cards over to CWNH, but I've given up on that.) Can you help me understand what you get by having your own cardset that you wouldn't get by searching that cardset for your own creations?

Ok, let's break it down:

The first time you create a cardset you even get a message

I really don't remember seeing this message, I created Brasilia in 2015 so I might just have forgotten.

searching that cardset for your own creations

Wow, this is a nice feature I didn't knew of, I thought my cards would be "lost forever" in CWNH.

what you get by having your own cardset

Now that I think of it, there are some advantages, like:

• Centralized comments in my cards/mechanics.

• It's cleaner/has fewer cards.

• "Shameless self-promotion", every time I/someone comments on a card, my set is bumped to the top of Recent Updates, increasing the chance of further comments.

• It works like a "Cards/mechanics that are not good enough for Brasilia but still fit the theme". BTW, is there a way to copy single cards from one set to another?

But the main reason for creating a new set is: CWNH is just another set, it doesn't look (from an UI point-of-view) special in any way. You're user number 1 so, assuming you're the creator of this site (thank you btw), I suggest placing a BIG BUTTON on the home page named "CREATE NEW CARD" which links to CWNH's card creation page.

Hmm, OK, thanks. Some food for thought for me there. I am indeed the creator/admin of Multiverse - a belated two-years-old welcome to you :)

is there a way to copy single cards from one set to another?

Not really, but there is a way to move them, assuming you have editing privileges in both the source and destination sets: the "Move" link on the individual card's page and the card edit page.

Cards/mechanics that are not good enough for Brasilia but still fit the theme

Ah, now that I can understand. Several people have a "live/main" version of a cardset and an "archive" for older or more tentative ideas. I've even done it myself. That was what the "active" status was originally intended to serve as, but I didn't make enough bits of the site filter by "active" so I can see why people use two cardsets. If this is intended as "Brasilia staging ground" then that makes perfect sense.

I really like the "create new card" button on the homepage to funnel new users into cwnh.
