I have finally got have all the pieces together to open up submissions
to a SRTCG deck archive. I have made a program that will parse a list
of cards in a specific format and output that list to a database and
HTML documents. Besides publishing each deck on my web site I will
also be gathering statistical info about all the decks in the archive.
The primary stats will be as follows

1) Top 10 Cards used
2) Top 5 Cards in each Card Type (ex. Runner,Gear/Magic,Objective)
3) Percentages of deck construction based on card type. (ex. 20%
runners)
4) Percentages of deck construction based on Rarity.
5) Runners in deck ratings based on Phils runner rating schema.
6) Top 10 Needed Skill to sleaze challenges.
7) A bunch of Top ______ lists
8) Anything else you guys (and Gals) want.


Here is the prefered format for submitting your decks.

Deck Name: <Name of Deck>
Theme: <Deck Theme, ex. Rigger/Mage or Troll/Ork>
Pivotal Car: <Card that the deck will not work without>
Card: <#> <Card Name> : <Notes about card>
Card: <#> <Card Name> : <Notes about card>
Card: <#> <Card Name> : <Notes about card>
Combo: <Combo Name>@<card1>/<card2>/<card3> : <Notes about
Combo>

SAMPLE MINI DECK LIST

Deck Name: Mage Madness
Theme: Mage/Shaman
Pivotal Car: None
Card: 1 Talismonger : A definate must in any mage deck
Card: 1 Invisibility
Card: 1 Archie McDeven
Card: 2 Fireball
Card: 1 Detect Enemy
Card: 2 Bolt of Power
Combo: BYEBYE@****/All or nothing : BYEBYE big guy and the rest suffer.


Notes:
1) Pivotal Card is not required. Please include only one Pivotal
Card. If you can not decide which card it is leave it blank.
2) Please try to observe the spacing
3) Combos are not required just a cool addition because when you are
makeing a deck you usually have card combos in mind.
4) Notes on cards and combo are not required.
5) My program will try to match a card that is not spelled right by
trying to match the names with the first three letters up until it
gets a match. It will also ask for my input on it suggestion
before
entering it into the database.

I do not have CGI-BIN access at my site so doing this through the
e-mail is my only option. Please reply to this message through
private e-mail and not through the mailing list.
