The Eternal Jyhad : Community Card Sorting Event - 22-05-2010

The Evening of 22nd, May, in the year 2010, Paradigm Infinitum.
As commanded by the Prince, I arrived at PI at about 530pm prepared to sort out the community card pool. For those who not know, the Singapore Vtes community has a pool of cards in PI that is dedicated to support players in building decks. This pool of over 10,000 cards are contributed by various Methuselahs. Of course, these cards are mainly unneeded cards from the Methuselahs so one can't really expect to get high-end rares there - but, hey, there used to be Carton Van Wyks in the pool~ even today, I believed that there are cards that're useful for everyone (especially new players) to seek out if they have some cards that they need.
However, the pool is in a terrible mess due to players constantly "swimming" in it, and therefore the Prince dictate that there should be a community effort to re-sort the cards into a clear and friendly format for anyone who wants to find anything.
7 of us turned up for the card sorting, a little too few for comfort. We blame it on the Sporecon near the corner that motivated many Vtes players to dedicate their time to paint and prepare their tournament army to take part in Warhammer and Warmachine tournaments.
Nevertheless, we did what we could, but was limited by the number of card boxes that were available in the store. At the end of the day, the pool is a lot better, but still require more sorting.
I look forward to the next sorting event.
We started working on the cards with quite limited space.
With only 4 of these Super Shoe Boxes we were hard pressed to sort the cards into various categories.
Yours Truly did quite a lot of labeling~
We have more vampires than we'll ever need.
Throwing away lots of old boxes and pretty much
all of the Jyhad edition cards.
After the sorting event, we had some fun creating 4 demo decks meant for the recruitment event in Sporecon. I look forward to taste new blood.
