You might know from my previous campaigns I researched original playing cards from the 15th century to understand how we got our current abstract patterns. The Wishers decks include and correct just a few design details and patterns from these beautiful ancient masters, to return a little of the elegance lost over centuries of bad copies.
. Do check out his Origins Grail and Origins Shadow of history decks if you like these things. Still readily available on playingcards.net and ebay at a decent price.we have different tastes, yes, And I said exactly that, "to each their own"Honeybee wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 6:04 pm "Blind Loyalty"? - How about we all have different tastes
I love classic backs including Rider Back variations, for some of us this is how cards are meant to look
Some of us love bling, some of us like ghosts or samurai or a whole mixed bag
I also love classic courts and thus my love of these and Ian Cumpstey's Shimmering Seven earlier this year
I don't see much difference between the 'centuries of bad copies' and his revised version.Eric Lee wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2024 8:39 pm Rick's courts is not just another revision of the standard courts, but updating the original Rouen courts design with the current USPCC courts. So you could say it's Rick's interpretation of what the courts should have looked like today if the Rouen designs didn't get corrupted by bad copies.

Yes, it's probably something only history buffs would get excited over

hahahaha sorry bra, I meant to say it's wonderful and exciting and a most fantastic rendition. To help you not feel insulted, I will explain some more i guess... I didn't say the courts were bad. I don't mind standard courts and I don't mind the courts from this deck. You insulted me by saying I was blind or have vision problems. That would be like me saying that if you don't think these courts look very similar to standard courts then you must be mentally handicapped. I quoted the bad copies bit to highlight that although one may see today's version of standard courts in that way, they don't look all that different from what the Wishers version is. You disagree, lovely 
My commentary about your eyesight (you saying you can’t see the difference between original courts and what Rick does) is not the same as you asking about testosterone, which is essentially a sexist comment about “care” being for women only.
Whatever works for you. If you think it's ok to insult someone but can't take an example of an insult in return...pretty silly. I don't even mind you trying to bring out the big guns with whatever claim you're making with sexism attached. That must be a hot topic for you and a buzz word used to villify.Fenrir wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 7:28 amMy commentary about your eyesight (you saying you can’t see the difference between original courts and what Rick does) is not the same as you asking about testosterone, which is essentially a sexist comment about “care” being for women only.
So, good luck to you, I guess you will become the first person I block on UC so I never have to see your posts again.
Thanks for being part of the community!
Complete departure? I give you an example of an insult by suggesting you are less of a man when referencing your testosterone levels but state how silly that ave of insulting each other is under the guise of care. I'm sexist, any more to add?
So I'm looking for trouble if i say the cards look similar but it's ok for someone to then say I'm blind or need eyes checked? Weird perception of what happened. It's like some people don't like other people so they jump at a chance to snap back and then get mad when they don't get the desired outcome. You clearly spoke to me since you had something to add when I asked if Fen wanted to add more buzz words to try and cancel me. Everyone can see how you operate. Gl with attacking everyone you don't agree with.GandalfPC wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 12:11 pm I am telling everyone to put a sock in it - which is a pretty tame way of saying stop attacking each other and remember this is a playing card forum where people come for things other than conflict.
I do notice who gets in tussles here, and who gets in tussles with more people more often.
I can’t see the responses due to the foe ability but you are right that I caused this and I accept responsibility for it. I’ll do better.GandalfPC wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 11:45 am The argument can be made that it took two to tango - especially when people are not unaware of who they dance with.
Telling Jazz to see an eye doctor likely to elicit more attacking response than saying “I would disagree” or something else less directly pointed to produce less hubbub.
Why are you not dm me then? Works both ways. I took opportunity to escalate? It escalated when I said cards are like standard and someone told me I need my eyes checked. You should maybe check the comments again from unbiased view. I am not always negative but that is a bias you and others possess. I see time and time again that if someone has an opinion that isn't praising the cards, people get offended. Just my opinion. I can leave this here if you want but if you need to make more points then I don't mind. I never asked for your intervention.GandalfPC wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 12:23 pm It is true they could have said it differently - and it is even true that they said it the way they did because you have laid the tone with them that you go negative all the time and it irked them (more or less)
But you took the opportunity to escalate.
You may not see it, but I see it because I get the complaints from users - and you and I have gone toe to toe more than once - you tend to take shots at decks that get people to make some comment back that results in where we are now.
And part of it is because people get the idea you are fishing for a fight in my opinion.
I will also note that I had asked to have this conversation via PM if you needed to have it, but it seems you prefer a public battle to prove some type of point.
Thank you Fen. Let's both do better.

My apologies to Jazz and the community.
