how I would balance it: gains 2 atk and 1 hp for download, still requires one hp off a creature.
Post by: Drake_XIV on September 01, 2012, 03:14:48 am
seems UP to me, look at fire spirit. it gains 2 atk, but no hp for 1 :fire, this gains 1atk and 1 hp for 1 hp off a creature and 1 :aether.

True, but Upload can target any creature. Fire Spirit is limited only to itself.
And would you really say CC + Buff is UP for 1 :aether?

Then it reminded me of this:

But on topic!
Byt is pretty UP. +1atk to any creature? And -1 hp? That is pretty pathetic when compared to eve fire spirit and fire eater (two UP cards).
Upped, it becomes more powerful. It has half the efficiency of growth, but it now deals damage. Why does :aether need a mono grower?

I think I've brought this up before, but I don't necessarily make cards on a need basis, but just whatever I thought of. :aether just fits the theme.A very valid way of creating cards, but most members like seeing original concepts and ideas. A good idea is one that is simple, clear, yet original.

Why does :aether need this?
I think furball posts this on every card in the entire CI&A forum :p (well, changing the element to match)

A Nybble is a grouping of bits, commonly in groups of 3 or 4 that are used to easily convert base 2 numbers into base 8 and base 16 respectively.
By current standards, a nybble is 4 bits used to represent a single hexadecimal digit. Because of this it is common to write binary numbers in groups of 4 for ease of readability(ex: 1010 1101 1001). Because of this, it is common to represent a byte, which is 8 bits of information, as 2 hexadecimal digits.
Interestingly both byte and nybble come from their homophones in the English language, bite and nibble. Where a nibble is a small bite; a nybble is also part of a byte.

Bit of Trivia: A Byte is the most basic storage type for most modern day programming languages. It is traditionally composed of 8 bits which are the smallest unit of storage(being able to hold either a 1 or 0, on or off, etc.). The byte was historically used to encode a single character of text in a computer. There have been variations but 8 bits=1 byte is the modern standard.
A Nybble is a grouping of bits, commonly in groups of 3 or 4 that are used to easily convert base 2 numbers into base 8 and base 16 respectively.
By current standards, a nybble is 4 bits used to represent a single hexadecimal digit. Because of this it is common to write binary numbers in groups of 4 for ease of readability(ex: 1010 1101 1001). Because of this, it is common to represent a byte, which is 8 bits of information, as 2 hexadecimal digits.
Interestingly both byte and nybble come from their homophones in the English language, bite and nibble. Where a nibble is a small bite; a nybble is also part of a byte.
Yay, random knowledge!
Although, Byt was derived from Bit in this case, both Byt and Nybble changing from i -> y to simply match byte.

But no! You blatantly disregarded the sanctuary that is the bit! Your computer should be appalled at your insulting it...
Post by: Drake_XIV on November 10, 2012, 12:01:51 am
Dear me, I thought you simply spelled Byte wrong, I wasn't going to confront you directly, hoping that my shared knowledge would make you see the error in your ways!
But no! You blatantly disregarded the sanctuary that is the bit! Your computer should be appalled at your insulting it...
Or I take the easy way out and claim Artistic License with the naming?

I daresay I wish for a -rep button right now >:(

It will open up a lot of fun avenues with scorpions and other creatures that have to gain a successful attack to activate their skill.
I hope it makes it into the game.
On a more frivolous note:
Anarook is right... you mispelled byte ... I can take it as artistic license to some extent, but there should be some kind of reason at least.
(even if its an eccentric one... like: "I hate the use of silent e and think it should be abolished" ... Come to think of it... I could really get behind that actually...)

No, I didn't misspell byt. I recall reading somewhere of a smaller unit called a byt [bit], not byte [bite].Hmm... I've never seen it spelled as "Byt" before... "bit" is definitely a common computer science term though...
When I type "byt" into google I don't get anything related to computers at all... but maybe I'm just not looking far enough.
Where did you see it spelled like that?... inquiring minds want to know :D
...At any rate, spelling aside I think this is a very cool card.

I think it should be for Fire since it reduce itself HP when unupped which is similar to most fire monster with low HP
The cost of health for a stronger effect is not limited to fire.
