I’ve thrown together a little Facebook application that lets you send Vs. System cards to your friends as gifts. I intend to build more application as I learn the ropes, but for now, it’s a silly, fun way to spread the word about Vs System on Facebook.
The idea is, the more cards you send to people, the more cards you unlock. You start off with one and two-drops and eventually you unlock the big guns. It’s daft – as per half of the stuff on facebook, but why not go ahead and add it?
Name: Death of a Dream
Card Type: Plot Twist
Cost: 3
Text Box:
To play, exhaust a character you control. Replace target face-up resource.
Boost – Exhaust an additional character you control: Replace an additional face-up resource. READ MORE »
If you’ve not already noticed, Patrick Yapjoco’s awesome Vs. System strategy site (http://geocities.com/majesticno10) has been updated with another World Championship deck deconstruction article. This time it’s Todd “Jet Li” Carlson giving the lo-down on his top-eight Secret Avengers (Reservist) build. Check it out here:

There will be a Bring Your Own Team constructed event at Fantasy Wargames, Luton on August 2nd. For more details, read more.
A couple of weeks ago, an episode of Rallying Cry didn’t make it past the VSSystem.com editors due to some – shall we say – slightly riské language and references on the featured blog. Personally I thought that was rather harsh, but it’s not my call. I thought that the blog in question deserved it’s moment in the sun, so while my star may not be as bright as the mothership, I give you the missing edition of Rallying Cry featuring Aaron “Onyxweapon” Mead:
OK, I’m incandescent with rage right now. Last month I implored UDEEurope to feature Vs. System in their monthly blog / newsletter. I even said, if you don’t have to to add Vs content to the newsletter, I would offer to submit something. If not, then how about just mention that you can visit this site for Vs related news. The response – we got, what I consider to be a patronising mention in June’s blog:
Vs. System is still popular at some clubs and stores around the country. You can now visit the following website to see if there is an active community near you:

Well this months newsletter is out and not a mention. Nothing about Vs. System. nothing about this site. This, when we’ve just had the inaugural World Championships! Right now I’m so angry that I’m considering shutting down this site. I was considering it due to financial reasons, but was saved by a magnificent offer from a very kind friend. But now, I’m considering passing up on the offer, purely out of principle.
I’m not contacting UDE about this right now as the new head of European OP is a very nice guy and very helpful, and I don’t want to spoil the communications we’ve had previously with a rage filled Email written in the heat of the moment. Why the hell should I bother?
Unless I missed a memo, there are new cards just added to the points store:
Patrick Yapjoco runs what is quite possibly my favourite Vs. System website on the net. He’s based out of the Edgeworld store in Costa Mesa, California and boast an impressive Vs. System pedigree.
His website may look a little “basic” in it’s design, but once you delve into the content, you realise that it is the absolute proof that you should not judge a book by it’s cover.
I’ve started a new personal WordPress blog where I’ll put up random thoughts, Vs content and other random crap. Occasionally if I think it’s something you might be interested in, I’ll link to it here.
Yesterday I posted the first in a Card of the Day series. Pop along and check it out:
