[POLL] Mark cards. How many do you have? (options fix'd)

[Kuroaitou]

See above posts for the lack of a '0' option.

However, since Mark cards act like 'Towers', are they 'automatically' played immediately or until you 'draw' them? I thought that Mark cards would be permanent boosts to your mark unless they're of different elements.

You have to draw them. If the mark card is unupped and the same as your mark, then it stacks when played. Upped it just acts like a tower, and acts like a pillar if unupped and different from your mark.

This is kind of unrelated, but I do think that the suggestion of making the mark cards immaterial is a good one, because otherwise they serve basically soley as a status symbol and are really kind of a blegh reward for winning a whole tournament.

What's wrong with a nice status symbol? Anyways you can also choose to take home a nymph for winning a tournament, so people who choose marks do it voluntarily. Plus, they get 5000 electrum. And the uniqueness of every post in this thread is just astounding, great ideas everyone!

I think mark cards are fine as they are. They are cards to fill out your collection and as a collector I can't rest until I have one of each type.

Heh I guess I just dont see why they cant be cards to fill out your collection, AND actually serve some purpose other than being just a regular pillar . I dont think making them immaterial would exactly cause balance issues in the game... it would just be a nice minor benefit to having and using one.

Being immaterial is REALLY good. I faced Pastiqe not long ago and he had 4x or a 5x fire mark (since they stacked with his initial mark) + regular pillars and thus were safe from my earthquakes.

He bolted/faren'd me to death even though a graboid/eq deck should kill such a deck fairly easy.

And why aren't we allowed to change our vote? If I get another I would want to change it... =\.

I added the option to allow to change votes but apparently that feature doesn't work.

That's what I thought too. If you need to draw them, then I think the advantage is REALLY minor for something you can only get from first place in a tournament...

Then again, even if they don't match your mark...
If you have 2 upped marks, 2 unupped marks, 2 pillars, 2 towers, 2 upped and 2 unupped pendulums, you are really going to irritate the shit out of a patient earthquaker. =D
