No, you have not been forgotten. Lately I haven't felt much like working on things for personal reasons that I cannot get into. But I have worked on a lot for popcorn today. I'm really getting there. There are a few games that need to be completed, prize pages and of course a few more card decks.

There is an Exposure Auction up on the forums featuring cards from Popcorn. Yay, you should check it out. The start price is pretty cheap considering it's the introduction special. More yays.

For my tardiness you get a couple freebies. You may have an 09 card of choice and an 14 card of choice but they cannot be from the same deck, and not your collecting deck. So sorry. There's reasons for this I swear.

Good News!
My computer has been fixed and I now have it back. Awesome right?
Bad News!
I've lost a lot of my files so I don't know how far I'll get with updates since I have to download everything all over again.

Before the computer crashed I had managed to save as much as my stuff as I could, but since I had a load of crap on here... I could only save a handful of things. Basically the most important stuff like my songs/videos from iTunes because geez those are expensive and I really didn't want to lose those.

But, with this update comes a little bit of good. Besides the fact that I am able to make cards again (have to image hunt) I brought you two new card decks. See, I'm loveable. These were of donations I was able to salvage.

NEW DECKS
Resident Evil
Tarzan
You make take One Card from each deck. And comment. Donate more images if you can.

I plan to open the tcg officially within the next couple of weeks. I got pushed back with the computer crashing. But yay, not that much longer til we open. FUN!!!

QUESTION: Would you guys like to see Event cards?
If you answer this question you may take a plain popcorn for commenting. :)

Greetings All,

I actually returned from my vacation a few days ago... Lots of rain, but when I came back I ran into a new problem. It seems my trusty computer isn't that at all. It crashed on me leaving me with a non functioning tower. So, thanks to a borrowed tower I am able to get online for a bit each day and right now to post this message. I didn't want to leave you all hanging.

I am not sure when I will get my own tower back, or if what I have on it will still be there. I'm hoping it comes back restored to its original settings, with all my programs/files intact but I highly doubt that will happen.

If I do lose my files, it means I'd have to re-download a lot of the zip files that have been donated. :( So sad. I'd also need to find my adobe photoshop and paint shop pro files. A lot of hassle for me here.

Anyways as an apology since I can't update like I'd like to, you may all take cards from the word S O R R Y but your cards must all be from different sets and you may not take any cards from your collecting set I only say this, because come opening day there will be plenty of ways for you to get cards from your collecting set. :)

Enjoy and I will post when I know what's going on. And I'm so sorry again.

I have arrived. Well, actually I'm leaving. I've been offered a chance to go away for a week and half with a family member up to cottage by the lake. Normally I wouldn't accept but I've been enjoying the summer so far that I think I could use a little bit more of it before it comes to a screeching halt. Once summer is over things go back to normal, whatever that is.

I hate to leave you all hanging, especially since Amy & I really wanted to open sortly. However, I need to remember that I come first before a tcg. I could use a little "me time". Everyone needs that. Amy has been super busy herself and I haven't been able to talk to her much. Early bed times have taken over our night lives, it seems.

However, I wouldn't leave you without giving you a little something to tide you over. So here is a little sneak peak at a few of the games we'll have when we open. You can play these once only.

THESE GAMES HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO PREPARE FOR THE OPENING OF POPCORN... SOON... HOPEFULLY

If you notice, all the games are titles of movies. Amy and I worked hard to come up with appropriate titles for the games. Though I'm not really set on Legally Blonde. But I couldn't think of a better name. Got a suggestion?

Okay and to get everyone on their feet, here's some popcorn freebies for you.
Take all you see below


I just got a new BlackBerry so I will be checking into the forums every day or so to make sure there are no problems there. If you need to contact Amy or I please send either of us a u2u on the forums. If you make a suggestion for the new title of the Legally Blonde game you can take an extra kettlepopcorn.

Don't forget to comment.

Remember, Prejoiners may take cards for all past updates.

Today is such a nice day, I've been hanging around family for most of it but managed to sneak away long enough to post this adoring message for you. I wanted everyone to know that Amy & I have not forgotten about you at all. I am, right now, working on yet another card set to be released for the grand opening.

I posted a little to-do list in the forums because I wanted you to know what I'm currently working on. To give you a bit of an idea of what's happening. I can say things are starting to take shape. I now have 22 games picked out and created. I'm currently trying to figure out how to make tables. I seem to have trouble in this area.

I'm also working on collecting images so I can make more sets for the grand opening. So donate if you can, it would help me out so much. Amy is doing her share of image hunting too.

Part of me is thinking about scrapping tcg admin and using it only for the card pages and games. I'm having problems with spam members at cliques so I need to figure that out as well before I can focus on one thing. I will not be using TCG admin for level up or master forms. Amy & I will be taking care of those ourselves.

Well, it's a beautiful day so I'm going to head off now and spend more time with family. I hope you all have a great weekend. You may take one 01 card of choice (not from your collecting set). I'm sure Amy or myself will post again shortly.
