Wikiverse: Knowme

A flash card game for personalities of history, myth, literature, etc. Knowme may be easy for different cultures to pronounce. Eg.: "nume", "nome" -- Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.207.237.22 (talk) 14:00, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Design 3

I'm presenting a third design prototype card. It was fairly simple to make using PowerPoint and three images off the Commons. If you'd like to see more like this, I can do that, just let me know. And for the record, I'm okay with the Wikipedia-style card design as well, so long as it has round corners like a normal playing card and is the same size :) Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 08:08, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Glad to Help

I am skilled in graphic design, and I will be glad to help with the designing of these cards. Just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any requests, or want to discuss a design proposal. writers-block-14?(talk) 23:05, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for helping reach a consensus!

Result: disaster style. Please proceed to Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 1:Rules/Rules approval.

Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 18:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

We are currently wrapping up the ruleset construction, which everyone is welcome to contribute to. Please click the link above to review it and contribute. If there are no more suggestions within the next 7 days, we will move onto phase 2. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 05:24, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Phase 2

The ruleset has been completely constructed approved by the committee. If you would like to propose an amendment to the rules, do so on the talk page for the rules.

We are moving forward with phase 2, Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 2:Cards, where we need your input on the design of the cards. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 23:14, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Ooh, am I the committee that you speak of? Such a grand title for a single person. :) ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 18:41, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Ha, you and me, and anyone else who slipped by during that time period. Every member was invited, so I don't have any regrets there. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 23:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Card Back Choice

My choice for the card back would actually be a Wikipedia Globe with a White background, and there should be an "IP user" card, an Autoconfirmed, Admin, The whatever the B- part is, Rollbacker, and there should be the barnstars as some cards. Tell me if it's a good thing @ my talk. Ian.bjorn (talk · contribs) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Good idea for the reverse face. The user access levels you've specified have been implemented, and we decided not to incorporate barnstars (rather hastily, I might say...I'd be willing to reconsider, and I'm sure if you pry you can either get it implemented or else find out why it isn't being used. If you've got proposals for the amending the current ruleset, head on over to WP:Trading card game/Rules and propose your changes to the rules. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 01:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think the no barnstar card thing is a bad thing. IMHO. I.P. (talk) 23:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC) We should do it. It increases the power possibilities. You guys can decide what they do, but I think it's a good idea. I mean, doesn't it make sense to play a game with stuff like that?

So...a barnstar might do something like increase the number of centijimbos earned per edit, perhaps? Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 23:53, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Number of Cards a player

There Should be about 9 cards a player, and there could be a Draw pile with a discard pile, with about 50 to 80 cards a deck. Ian (talk) 00:28, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

See WP:Trading card game/Rules -- we've already worked these things out. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 01:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps we should put a banner at the top of this page saying to read the already-made ruleset? I'll do that right now. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 04:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

This page has so many banners it just blends right in :( Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 05:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I've moved the notice to the page notice page. That way it will display to anyone attempting to edit this page. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 05:05, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Yay! ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 05:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Media rights

I've done a little research, and we'll need to figure out how to contact Miss Kessler in order to gain permission to use the Wikipedia logo in various places (i.e. the reverse face of the card, and most likely on the face of most cards). I'm not sure yet what other legal stuff will be involved. If we can find avoid using the Wikipedia logo as often as possible, that might reduce complications that might arise from using the logo.

I passed an email along to the NYC chapter of Wikimedia, and I've asked they do what they can to route it to her. Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 02:24, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I think that we should either just use it as if we could however much we want until we find out if there would be legal issues. We'll just need to wit on moving to the next phase, even if we have all of the cards that we want, until we find out how this will all work. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 06:01, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Heh, there will be legal issues, no questions asked. All I'm saying is the earlier we get the rights secured, the less the impact of not getting them secured will be later down the road. Just think-- it'd be a shame to have to redo all the card designs with different images on them... Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 06:52, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Proceeds

"...all proceeds will go to the Wikimedia Foundation" - This is fine, as long as Wikimedia is able to provide funding for the trading card game. We might be better off by saying that a certain percentage (50%, maybe more) goes to Wikimedia, and the rest goes toward production. After all, trading cards aren't free to print, cut, and distribute in foil wrappers. Unless, of course, someone wants to donate their card-cutting, printing, and wrapping services... Bob the Wikipedian ^{(talk o contribs)} 02:23, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I think "proceeds" implies all of the money left after production costs. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 05:59, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

"...all profits..." might be a better wording. It may be easier to beg the money needed for initial production if its sponsor can expect to be repaid. Once we've sold a standard deck, the rules don't specify whether to release new cards later. It might be wise to plan for a single manufacturing run and to milk it delight players with further variants if sales boom. Certes (talk) 12:58, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

I've created a topicon, in case anyone wants to use it. ~~ Hi878 ^{(Come shout at me!)} 03:43, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh, cool. Also, in case anyone cares, we're coming along quite nicely with the card proposals. We've even set up a website where card illustrations will be uploaded, and we've got four illustrated so far. Be sure to visit Wikipedia:Trading card game/Action plan/Phase 2:Cards/Individual card proposals and propose LOTS of cards! (But PLEASE, read the Wikipedia:Trading card game/Rules before proposing a card-- knowing how the game works is quintessential to making a proposal!

Jimbo!

Jimbo seems to like this. :) See here. Hi878 isn't home. ^{(Can I take a message?)} 16:24, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

And his advice on the inside jokes is probably good advice...I've butted into the conversation to find out how we can get approval for the use of the Wikimedia-copyrighted images on the cards, just so we don't have to redesign everything down the road-- I'd like to clear that matter up as early as possible. And heh, what traitors we are, using Wikimedia's biggest competitor's services to host the images for this game... but Wikimedia really doesn't have a place where we're allowed to keep images of trading cards that we want to copyright. Also, I checked into the issue of cards not displaying on our repository wiki-- apparently, Wikia's image servers go down at least once a week, so we'll just have to bear with it. I attempted setting up several different types of wikis and Wikia was the only one that had enough storage space and actually let me register a wiki.

Card testing template

Hey! I haven't visited this project for ages, but checked out what you were up to after Bob left a message on my talk page - I designed the original article-style card layout.

I saw the hassle you've gone to with hosting card images on Wikia and suchlike, and have a solution! Wikipedia:Trading card game/Template:Card will enable you to set up a card preview to appear pretty much like your current design. There are a few concessions - the image cropping isn't configurable, no fades or backgrounds, and the text size is slightly off so as to fit on screen, but it's enough to give a rough clue.

This should help you guys keep working on the game wiki-style. Hope you find this useful! Best, -- Pretzels ^Hii! 02:18, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Brilliant. I was just thinking about something like this, since I want to start designing cards. I have a few other concerns, mainly that all of the cards are built from the start at a minimum resolution of 300DPI, so they won't look crappy when printed, but by far, the ease of creating cards was by biggest concern. Thanks! Sven Manguard _Talk 07:13, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I agree, brilliant. I might make some tweaks, but it's pretty perfect. --Preceding signed comment added by Nicky Nouse (talk o contribs o wikia) 22:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

WMUK potential interest

please see Outreach merchandise & publications on the Wikimedia UK site. How are things going? Maybe we could do some play testing in London when we reach that stage, - and also put in a pre-order when the cards are ready? Leutha (talk) 10:51, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Currently all "active" contributors are busy with other aspects of life. This project will need resuscitation if it's going to get off the ground. Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk o contribs)} 20:51, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Is this project still active?

I think the title is pretty self-explanatory. If it isn't then I think it should restart.User Talk:W.D. 20:07, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes I believe so, too. I think because of inactivity, we should definitely restart the project, and make it faster. Any way to do this?Vinethemonkey (talk) 17:50, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Vinethemonkey

We can restart this by continuing to make the cards in phase two of the action plan. Billythekid314 (talk) 05:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

How can I help?

I really want to help with this projects. It sounds like a great idea. However, I'm not really a tech expert or graphic designer. Billythekid314 (talk) 19:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
