Players of Pairings TCG:
I won't beat around the bush. This entry marks the time for Pairings to go on indefinite hiatus. This decision was discussed and made yesterday, so that's why it comes so suddenly, but Dan and I agreed that this is for the best right now. There are many reasons why this is happening and I'd rather not disclose them because they are of personal nature, but this is the only solution I can think of right now. We're both very sad and we apologize to players and staffers both for choosing to do this now and quickly, but I don't see the point in keeping things open with a hiatus/closing notice, so that's why all games and services will be stopped immediately. Comments posted to services before this entry will be replied to, but game rounds won't be.
The reason we will reply to services, it's for players to log these in case the game comes back at some point. It is our intention to re-open Pairings in the future because both Dan and I have a lot of attachment to the game and there's still many more decks we'd like to collect (things we donated last release, for example), but there's no date set as of right now (hence the indefinite). I will discourage trading during this hiatus, but if you want to trade, it's not prohibited. I also recommend that you keep your cards in case you're interested in coming back in the future since we agreed that if we re-open, players will be able to keep their cards.
We really thank you for all the support you've given us for the last 3 years and for your constant feedback and interest in our game. I never thought it would last this long, but when we opened, I never thought there would come a day when it would stop either. I must also apologize deeply to players who recently joined: I didn't give you enough time to enjoy my dear game, but we really can't keep it going any longer for now.
As a last comment, I'd like to offer you a non-official/placeholder mastery badge that you can use if you'd like to have some completed decks with something akin to the mastery badge. These "masteries" will be able to be formalized (with the same image or another) if the game re-opens. You may get this template here.
I hope you won't feel to let down and we'll be sure to contact all current players to gauge out interest if/when we get a re-opening date.

In the personal ads business, you meet all kinds of people. Today, we're looking for a songstress!
She has long white hair held up with a black bow, and is perpetually dressed in white--but her most notable feature is the flower growing out of her right eye. She has a violent personality and is foul-mouthed, as evidenced by her bloody quest to kill her five sisters. Her powers manifest in using song magic, although you'll see her sword-fighting quite frequently as well.I hope this is enough information! If you've seen this individual anywhere, you need to tell me: her name and the series she's from! As reward you'll get 4 random cards for the tip!
For this game comments are screened and you are able to comment just once, so make sure you have the right answer! You have until March 28th to reply!

Welcome to Date Spots! In this game, your date has been showing you around all sorts of places. Being the curious person I am, I've stumbled across some of the pictures from your various date spots! Looks like you had a lot of fun. I really wish I could go there some day! However... where is "there"?
Let's take a look to see if you can remember...

Discussion 71
Mar. 18th, 2015 09:03 pmjenybear
Welcome to another discussion round! It is a pretty straightforward game where I give you a question that you'll answer in a new comment, and I'll give you three random single cards and one special card. Since this is a discussion, don't be shy! Feel free to comment on other player's threads too~
(Example: I feel like this will be a fairly common answer but RPGs all the way. I do like strategy based games as well but mostly RPGs. I have too many favourite titles to list to be frank, but western I'd have to go with Assassins creed - which is weird because I actually never played the series. I watched my brother play it)
Have fun everybody! This round ends on Wednesday March 25th 2015.

Well, hello there! Ever wanted to know how strong the love between your favorite ship was or wanted to be assured that Character A and Character B were made for each other even though they've never actually met? Then step right up and let Compatibility Meter measure the strength of their amour. But how can such a thing be measured you ask? Hmm... let's find out ♥
GUIDELINES
- Start by providing me two regular cards, even doubles are okay. Please remember to include the image and card name! You will lose these cards.
- I will then randomize their compatibility and if they score between:
81-100% | you win 6 cards and a love letter! (ohoho, do i hear wedding bells in the distance?)This round will end March 27th. You can only comment once per round.
61-80% | you win 5 cards! (that's solid, solid as a rock)
41-60% | you win 4 cards! (you might need more sparks for that fire to burn)
21-40% | you win 3 cards! (maybe better off as friends?)
01-20% | you win 2 cards! (... and may the lost ones find new love at the singles' claim)
