Enguin Enguin Enguin Enguin Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 With life points already LP, and the graveyard soon to be the GY, it is clear that card texts must be shortened at all costs. In this spirit, I have taken time from my blank schedule to compile a list of further changes that could easily be incorporated, to improve the flow of the game. Less time reading, more time dueruing! The changes are ordered (almost) alphabetically, so they can be read as efficiently as they will make reading cards. banish - bnBattle - Bbattle - bcard - ccoin flip - cfcolumn - cndetach - ddestroy - dydice - ?discard - didraw - !Effect - Eeffect - eExtra Deck - EDExtra Monster Zone - EMZFusion - Fface-up - fuface-down - fdfield - fhand - hLink - LMain - MMain Deck - MDMain Monster Zone - MMZmaterial - mlmonster - mnegate - nNormal - Nopponent - oowner - owOnce per turn - OPTPendulum - PmPhase - Pplayer - pquick effect - qereturn - rRitual - Rscale - scSpecial Summon - SSSummon - SSpell & Trap Zone - STZSpell/Trap Card - S/TSynchro - Sytarget - ttuner - tuturn - tnunaffected - uXyz - X Polaris' compendium of types and attributes: Aqua: aqBeast: btBeast-Warrior: bwCyberse: cbDinosaur: dsDivine-Beast: dbDragon: drFairy: frFiend: fnFish: fsInsect: inMachine: mcPlant: plPsychic: psPyro: pyReptile: rtRock: rkSea Serpent: seSpellcaster: scThunder: thWarrior: wrWinged-Beast: wbWyrm: wmZombie: zb DARK: DKEARTH: ETFIRE: FRLIGHT: LTWATER: WRWIND: WD Shadowliepard's neo-new improved shorthand: 2 or more -> 2+and -> &cannot -> can'tmaximum -> maxnumber -> #attack -> atkper -> /equals -> =or -> /activation -> act Giga's submission: References within a card's text to it's own name is represented by ~ What will follow is a few well known cards, with their text optimised.

If I have missed out any relevant terms or phrases, let me know and I will update the list! You're welcome Konami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I'm sure we could have equivalents for other languages.

If this card is dyd by c e: You can add 1 non-FR wm from your GY to your h. You can only use each e of this c OPT. I also propose changing "you" to "u", your to "ur". We could have "unaffected" be "ua". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsapex Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Quasar's too recognizable! I gotta shorten it more. 1 Tu Sy M + 2+ non-Tu Sy MsMust be Sy Sd & can't be SSd by other ways. This c's max # of atks/B P = the # of non-Tu ms used as its Sy Ml. OPT, when a c/e is act (QE): You can n the act, & if you do, dy it. When this c leaves the f: You can SS 1 "Shooting Star Dragon" from your ED. Changelist:2 or more -> 2+and -> &cannot -> can'tmaximum -> maxnumber -> #attack -> atkper -> /equals -> =or -> /activation -> act And I converted it to the new quick effect wording (I can't believe you didn't). Of course, Quick Effect is QE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 wow, komoney really is just slowly making ygo unplayable.Well, Konami didn't make these, so... Also, this stuff is actually fun to think up. If this c is NS: You can send 1 "Zoodiac" c from your MD to the GY. An X m whose original type is bw & has this c as X ml gains this e.●OPT: You can d 1 X ml from this c; SS 1 ~ from your h/MD Changelog:References to a card name that match that it is printed on can be replaced with ~.

That's a cool idea but sadly won't translate well on cards that are members of 2 archetypes. E.g. Void Trap Hole. Not to mention it won't be as clear in cards with generic names, like "Soldier", "Magical", etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snatch Steal Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Well someone is salty. GY really isn't a big deal. There are worse things than an abbreviation.

Guest 777c Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I was thinking of shortening monster card to mc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- Minimania - Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Chances are, this would probably hurt the game rather than help it. It hurts my brain and while some of you guys think this is fun to think about, I'm not amused. If I have to spend an extra 30 seconds more thinking about a card than I have to, I'm going to quit playing and I'm sure I won't be the only one.
