Any Card Game Players?

Hello SEN,

My name is SpaceDominator and I have been around the StarCraft Community since the original StarCraft Beta. However, besides my own love for playing StarCraft, my other biggest interest is that of card games. Since I was rather young, I used to play a ton of different classic card games such as Euchre, Hearts, Spades, Bridge, Pinochle, etc.. and loved playing them for fun and analyzing the strategy to them.

So over the past few months over at BlizzForums, I have held a weekly card game night where we have switched up and learned and played a new card game each week. We have played everything from Euchre to 3-5-8 to Barbu to Agurk to Cribbage to Spades to Whist to Hearts, etc.. We've had a good turnout of people each week and we've had a lot of fun each week with it.

So what's the point of me bringing all this up? I'm inviting SEN to take part in my Euchre Tournament that I will be hosting next Wednesday, March 18th @ 9:00 PM EST. I thought it would be pretty fun to bring people from different communities together to compete in a simple to learn card game that is pretty quick. The entire tournament will last approximately only 75-90 minutes total.

However, the thing is that this event isn't only for players who know how to play the game of Euchre but it is also an opportunity to learn how to play Euchre. For those of you that are interested in learning or just playing some friendly warm up games, I will be hosting starting on Wednesday, March 11th @ 8:30 PM EST a night where will be teaching Euchre and also forming the partnerships for play the next week.

Full details about the two nights are available at: http://www.swoopzone.net/bf/euchretourney.html

If you have any questions or would like to me to give you a reminder about the event(either through AIM, PM, E-mail, etc...) feel free to let me know in this thread.

I thank you for your time and I am looking forward to seeing SEN represented in the event.

I haven't played MTG since like 8th grade, probably 8 years ago? I do know that there are a few people who play it still over at BlizzForums. It's a fun game, but I lost a lot of interest when all of my friends lost interest and I grew up a bit. :)

I play MTG about once a week with my friend. My last tournament I got first out 48 people! That was awesome. [/so brag]
I've been playing since before I could read though.

You never really understand how the game works until you go to one of those and just get your "OMG my white-green enchant creaure deck" wrecked.

So you suggest I don't go on with my plans and make a deck like that? :)

It just seems like the best thing in the world, "I'm going to make my already stronger creatures EVEN STRONGER! muahahahhahah", but any decent black deck will make you want to quit the game.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
