Happy Mother's Day!!

This update was delayed because I had to attend graduation/commencement + move out of my dorm for the very last time. *o*

Also, all inactive members have until Saturday the 19th to reactivate their accounts or contact me. Everyone on the inactive list should have received an email.

New Decks

Take one from each and comment! Take one extra if you donated or made the deck. Tex may take an extra from macarons. Thanks!

As suggested by Wing and many others throughout ETC's run, I've finally released the Danbo deck! Also graduation and weddings were suggested by the May Monthly Theme. Go suggest a theme for May if you haven't already!

Achievements

There are new graphics to represent each achievement you earn! They are masterable every 5 cards (each stage) and you can redeem masteries on the forums. Of course the deck prominently features our little mascot, Danbo! I couldn't narrow down 15 images of Danbo so I created an entire ongoing deck for Achievements! (still under construction)

ETC + Member Challenge!

With the upcoming deletion of all the inactive members, we'll be dropping in numbers! If you'd like to have some more members to trade with, tell your friends about ETC if you think they'd enjoy the TCG!
In exchange, from now until June 1, you and the newly referred member will receive 3 weather pixels and 5 random cards (in addition to regular rewards).

I too will challenge myself to add 7 new affiliates. If you are in any TCGs you think ETC should affiliate with, send in a general contact form! =)

Other stuff:

- Spring Event is now complete and has been taken down. Hope you all enjoyed it!
- A new survey has been placed on the forums, thanks to everyone who already took it!
- One last spot on the Member Favorite's Spring deck! Hurry so we can get started on the next season!
- New forum games! Incognito is a new game and Featured Card underwent a simple revamp. Lastly, Match Me #11 is a special round!
- Do you wish that there were more than 5 decks released per week? Or is that a good number? If you answer, please take one of the following weather pixels (rain or sun).

Some major news. :3
I've officially received and accepted an offer for a full time job. Pretty decent pay, and best of all, it's located in FLORIDA. I thought I'd be returning to NYC but it looks like I'll have a trip to Miami for at least a year or two, then maybe go back. But whatever it is, I am so happy! I also got my first ever A+ in college, so wooooo! hahahaha. Freebies for this great news can be found on the forums!

Next, thank you all so much for being awesome members! Over 75? That's crazy! O.O!
But I will be deleting members starting next week if they haven't updated since the beginning of the year. Everyone will receive a mass email this week about ETC's updates in recent weeks, and everyone on the inactive list will receive an email asking if they wish to remain members. Anyone on the hiatus list will be left right where they are. =)

(Title is a shout out to One Direction, whom I've recently become somewhat obsessed with. ^^"")

New Decks

Take one from each and comment! Take one extra if you donated or made the deck.

Wishes

Hold onto your seats there's a ton that I'm granting! I didn't grant them all, but I did grant quite a good number, so I'll summarize the freebies at the end so it's clear!

Gwen wished for a koala deck which was granted last week.
Catherine wished for a llama deck which was granted this week.
Shell wished for 2 special cards and Victor wished for 1 special card.
Shawna wished for 04 and 12 cards for April.
Wing wished for a Danbo deck which will come soon! There's a reason I never released one yet. ^^;
Several members wished for cards spelling out SPRING.
In total, please take: 3 special cards, no more than 2 from a deck and take 8 cards: an 04 and 12 card and 6 cards for S-P-R-I-N-G. No more than one card per deck - and be sure the cards contain the letter from SPRING. Be sure to comment with your cards.

Enjoy! (Freebies are for everyone!)

Weather Patterns

To increase the amount of weather pixels each member has, I am going to give one out for each mastery. This includes past masteries as well! The pixels will be given out on the forums, not in each reward. So please head over there to pick up rewards for the masteries you've had in the past.

From now on, I will post rewards each week when the update is made with the masteries update so if you mastered a deck be sure to go there to pick up your extra weather pixels. =)

Upcoming Event

ETC is wrapping up it's first ever event, the Spring Event. Since it is now May, many people are getting out of school and starting summer vacation, so we'll have a short School's Out event coming up next. =)

Other News & Announcements

- May Monthly Themes are up, please feel free to post if you would like to see decks from a certain category during the month. I then work to release ~8-10 decks throughout the month based on those themes.
- A survey will be up on the forums shortly. 6 months have gone by, it'd be nice to hear some thoughts on how we're doing!
- Spring Event is now complete. Play when you have the time. Remember the event will be taken down next update.

This is a relatively large update so I'm working on parts of it.
Grab the 6 month + extra freebies on the forums if you haven't already, those will be closing very soon. =)
