I wasn´t hoping beyond a common card, my friend :)

I've been working on boosting my rarity for when S3 rocks around. I don't have many 1% badges since I'm trying to manage my nation moderately which doesn't lend itself to pumping the numbers, but I'm working on increasing them while maintaining my nation's identity.

I've founded a region, supported the site, got some easter eggs, raised my deck value and joined the WA, those should hopefully work together to raise it up a bit.

I can't become a region delegate unfortunately, since the other two nations in my region are both me and as such can't also join the WA, so I think my only options now are getting more 1% badges and authoring some issues. Or rapidly becoming widely known enough to get commended or condemned, that would be pretty cool but is... Unlikely.

I'm hoping to make the biggest rarity jump in one season, unfortunately given the length of time that S2 has been going a lot of people will be jumping several rarity tiers methinks, but I'm hoping for Ultra-Rare, I think Epic is out of reach unless I suddenly get inspiration for a several-issue-long saga that causes a sweeping tide of WA regulations to be made which storms the world and I become (in)famous and end up being commended or condemned by the WA for my actions, and I abandon the spirit of my nation and ignore the needs of my people to rapidly make stat badge gains.

So this popped into the "view posts" eight months after I last viewed it...

...as it this, I've on this nation a couple of first-in-the-region stats and some Easter eggs on a puppet, so I should reasonably expect becoming uncommon.

Are you sure you're logged into the right nation? I can't see the Easter Egg badge on your profile, or am I missing something? I'm surprised you don't have more badges tbh, we made our nations at nearly the same time and there's such a huge difference!

same with being a founder? also, if I'm in the top 6% for a stat, is it better then being top 10%? because they're both green.

This should be taken with a giant 'to my knowledge' as the exact formula for what boosts a cards rarity is entirely unknown, and this is just observation based guesswork; but being a founder is also a relatively small bump.

I would also hazard a guess to say that there's no difference between 6% and 10%, and that it would only provide a boost once your stat hits 5% and the badge changes.

How about me? Founder of a region, WA delegate, and potentially issue author (I have one looking for criticism now). Guessing uncommon, if I get a couple gold stats potentially rare imo

Yeah, I'd guess that you'll be uncommon.

I'll guess my card would be ultra rare considering that I am a relatively young nation.

But it would be nice if it where to become an epic card.

A founder badge is a guaranteed uncommon I believe and if your issue passes, you are a guaranteed Epic.

Oh wow I did not expect that high at all, I thought Huron League would be rare at best (East Huron is a rp alt of Huron league) east Huron is a weird one I think,I have a gold badge already and not much else. Is there a guaranteed minimum for a gold badge?

I guess, no. Also, since the inflation of region founders (caused by the run for badges and the uncountable ammount of farming puppets), I doubt, that the region founder badge (when not backed up by some not-puppet-inhabitants of said region) will be of significant importance for ranking anymore. But that´s just my guess.

Possibly (not guaranteed) an uncommon card. Some common cards have golden badges.

But that´s just my guess.

I also believe that this is the case as well. Also, I do think they have taken this into consideration already even before Season 1 of Cards was released. For example, this season 1 card has a founder and a golden badge yet it is classified as a common card.

My guess is that, if we were to consider only founder + top 1% + top 5% badges, the rarity of the card can be volatile. The only guaranteed increments I believe are Site Staff badges (guaranteed legendary), a passed Historical Resolution (I do believe this is a guaranteed legendary as well), Commendations/Condemnations (almost certainly a guaranteed legendary), a passed Resolution/Issue (guaranteed epic) and other badges such as Easter eggs and Retired moderator.
