Under The Spotlight Series #16 - Skipio

Hey! My name is Allen, you can just call me Skip! I am a pretty okay guy.When I was young I played the Pokemon the card game a LOT. I had massive amounts of cards and later sold my collection for 400 dollars. (I am from the US, you convert it you Euros.) That has really been my only CCG experience, I tried magic but (don’t kill me!) I never really enjoyed it. I played Star Wars Miniatures if that counts.I have never been a “gamer” and I don’t think I am now…. The first video game I played seriously was Minecraft, and the second Scrolls. I am an actor, singer, producer (sort of), beat-boxer, student, athlete, and nerd. I love tabletop roleplaying (not DnD! way to rules heavy! try Fate!) and I was a massive amount of time doing that. I am fairly young, I won’t say how old because I don’t want to be judged.I am committed to communities and I am what you could call a social butterfly. I am SKIPIO!Well, yes I can.Sure! My guild is the Wheel and Sail Guild. (Insert link if possible) We are focused on having fun. I know that sounds lame, but hear me out. Scrolls is a hard, fun game. I am determined to help keep this community growing and supportive. I really feel that community is what holds a game together. In fact, it was the degradation of the Minecraft community that made me slow down with that game. I have great members and it is really fun. I can’t wait for us to grow more and more. Join Us!Growth. I just like natureMono-Growth, Growth-Energy (using wild), and Aggro-Order. Sorry, I don’t have decklists, but believe me, they are not worth it.That needs help. A tutorial in every resource is essential, and perhaps more of a tour of the UI would be nice.I enjoyed early game, but that was when there were plenty of players… I think the coming single player mode will help a lot. I love collecting the scrolls. I love trading. I loved the trials.I love the fact that Scrolls has strategy on every level, from deck building to sacrificing to the board placement. It all comes together to for a really compellingly intellectual game. I like almost every aspect of this game but honestly, what really makes it for me is the community. It is just so fun to be in a gaming community where everyone (almost) is super respectful and kind. I love the guild scene is fantastic and the friends made trading are wonderful. Also, the devs involve themselves in the community which is mind bogglingly great. I met jeb! Carnalizer drew me a picture! Wow. So honestly, even though the game is definitely good enough to keep me playing, the community makes it so much of what it is. I think even if the community grows (let us pray) this strong base of love and kindness will carry it to being on of the best communities in the history of gaming ever.I mentioned that above, I think it is great. I like making friends that way. I know that it takes a long time to get what you want but I feel with growth of the player base (let us pray) that trading will just be more fun, get you more scrolls, and more friends. I wish it was easier to get gold, but that is mostly because I don’t have a lot of time to play. I have never played a game with an auction house, so I have no idea if that would work for Scrolls, but the name sounds coolEveryone is saying it, and I will say it again. We need ads!! We need a bigger community. Otherwise, considering this game is in beta and always improving, we are golden.Not much, I love it as a game. There are a few tweaks that I would make though.First off, the UI could be improved, the whole chatrooms system could be streamlined. A “Leave Que” button would be niceJust keep going! You got this. Don’t get discouraged. When you get higher up, you will start to have loads and loads of fun. Lean on the community. Pick a deck and get good with it. Just have fun.Well, no… actually. I am really rather bad at playing Scrolls itself, and don’t have a philosophy for that aspect. (Which I probably should) But really… My philosophy is make friends, keep them, and have fun.Youtube, well yes. But no videos yet. I am working on it. Umm… follow me on twitter!Thank you for taking the time to ask them!
