Site Features

I haven’t been including new site features lately, as my life has been super busy lately. However, there are a few things that have been rumbling around in my head, aside from the usual suspects that we still need to add:

1) Video streaming for major events

Yes, I do want to get this going. I’m not sure yet if we will use something like justin.tv to do a livestream, or something else, but this is something I am looking to implement (maybe even for MPC).

2) More facebooky type features

Right now the only way to get a hold of someone or talk to them is to pm them through the forums. I wanted to include a social networking aspect in case people wanted to IM users directly if they were online, similar to how facebook does it.

Neither of these are really on the docket yet, but they are things I’ve been thinking of.

Something fun(ctional) is coming

It involves tournament stuff. We may be getting legit on tourney stuff yet!

My Nationals Thoughts

I know its late, but here are some general thoughts about US Nats:

-Vegas was a great place to play. I didn’t get a chance to go hang out with the group as much as I was with my gf for most of the trip, but it was still enjoyable.

-Kevin Shannon and I were officially introduced to each other, despite having played at 3 major events together. Now we are bestest buddies (until at least he realizes that I’m not dan kim or aaron nelson).

-Jeeps was not nearly as nerdy looking as I was expecting. I am thoroughly disappointed

-Everyone was as classy as I expected them to be. Despite the massive acrid feeling one sometimes gets when ppl argue about star wars cards on the forums, actually playing at events continues to be filled with stand-up, great guys.

The Site And What’s Wrong With It

So some of you are probably experiencing a number of errors, ranging from Internal Errors, to 500, 504, 505, 408, etc. I’ve made several posts on the forums indicating that I am aware of this problem, but haven’t formally been able to address the issue. So let me first assure you, its not you. Well, mostly not you. The problem is a systemic issue that we have had for 2 years, and have been trying to address for some time, though I have not been able to narrow down the cause of the issue until recently.

2011 Kiffex League is away!

A year after the Toronto meta was reinvigorated by the establishment of the 2010 SWCCG Kiffex League, the 2011 Kiffex League is off to a hot start and here’s hoping for another year where we bring out old players (like 2011 MPC Consolation Tourney runner-up Matthew Harrison-Trainor!) and cultivate some new ones!

Alex O’Shea won the first league event, going undefeated against a tough, concentrated field of 4 others, and he’ll be defending his title in League Event #2, set to take place on Sunday, February 27th!

If you’re in the GTA (or Ontario in general), and want to know more about the Kiffex League, just shoot me (DarkBro) a PM on the forums and I’ll give you the scoop.  Also, keep your eyes peeled on the Kiffex League subforum where you’ll soon find all of the League’s news and announcements!

Blogs, Player Locator, and the Like

A lot has happened in the last month and a half or so.

Did you know you could reply to blogs? Yeah, it works, log in using your normal username/password. Premiums can pm me for a blog.

The player locator looks great! Check it out under community. You can update yours under User > User Details. I’m really happy about how it worked out. Hopefully more people will update their location and we can have a really accurate view on the current players and where they are located.

If you have any suggestions for the site, you can pm me or post a reply here.

Cheers
