welcome

Welcome to Trading Academy, a multiple anime/manga/game TCG. Our TCG's theme is an elite private school where good grades are rewarded with trading cards. Pixelated fun since January 11, 2005! ^o^ Find out more on the new our story page.

We have cards from a wide variety of series (over 8000 cards in over 400 sets - and that's not counting decks that still need to be released!) but we're always adding more thanks to member donations. We promise timely updates and quick responses; a TCG is no fun if it doesn't update on time!

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I've done anything. I was studying for some major exams for the past few weeks and Friday marked the end of my most stressful exams. So I'm back and ready to do some work! And thank you all who wished me luck!

As most of you may know, we will still not be able to re-open Trading Academy for a little while longer. But do not fear! Since I'm free from tests (for now), I'll be trying to keep Trading Academy as active as possible on hiatus.

Here's a list of what I'll be doing:
- updating old games (marked with *)
- answering forms
- creating decks

In a nutshell, basically anything to keep the TCG running without any major updates.

Now, for some 'cleaning' up!

Thanks Mamori! My work/personal schedule has me knocked out until June 7 (no, really) so I won't be doing much until then. So annoying, I really wanted to reopen. u.u

Thanks to everyone for sticking around - and I'm amazed that people are actually JOINING during this crappy slow time. Wow. o.o <3

reaching for normal...

Sorry everyone, we won't be able to reopen this weekend. Maybe it will be mid-May after all. The family stuff that's going on with me is still unresolved and is likely to remain that way for a while. (Sorry to be vague, but I don't want to talk about it.)

I feel like this is nothing more than a pile of excuses now, but I'm honestly short on time and emotionally drained from the events of the last three weeks. I've done a lot of behind the scenes work, but I know that's invisible to everyone and not very impressive from the user's standpoint.

I think the contest will have to wait for a card milestone - say 10,000 cards - since if I keep putting off reopening because of the contest, I'll never catch up. We're not too far from 10,000, by the way. o.o

I want you guys to have some input - I feel bad about leaving everyone out in the cold. Could you look at the upcoming card page and tell me which three sets (of those that are finished) you'd like to see released next? I'd like to come back with about 8-10 sets for the reopening and this will help me decide what to put up!

Please take a look and comment!

Oh, and wish Mamori luck on her exams, too! *^_^*

Kitty Nox, would you still like to work on Puffer ABC? ^_^

This not being open stuff is killing me. ;_;
We'll be reopening as soon as I can complete my to do list!

So as a reminder to myself, I have to do these things!
- create a bunch of weekly games ahead of time
- set up scavenger hunt contest
- dream up some smaller monthly contests

By the way, the Saturday games aren't functional (except those marked with a *) because I'm still working out some bugs. I may cut Student/Game Profile down to 3 or 4 blanks instead of 5 to make each a little easier to play. And update. =p

I will probably do stamp cards, but not now. I want to see how all of these changes go before throwing something else into the mix.

I do need staff for Puffer ABC, though! You'd only have to give rewards at the end of the round, so it's really a once per month job for now. I may change it to a biweekly game in the future if it works well. Please comment if you're interested - I'd love to have some help! ^_^

edit 9pm
And some new member cards! Sorry to have taken so long. Remember that you start with three copies, and now you'll find member card tokens in games to increase your card count automatically.



For everyone who still has seafood tokens - hang onto them for now, I'll round them up once we open.
