I mean, is it legal?

Fortunately, for casual card farmers like myself, card farming is completely legal. All nations get a card regardless of what they are, there is no opt-out or requirements set.

Maybe there should be an option for nations to opt in/out of being a card, or to register card farm puppets as such so they don't get counted.

Overall I don't think it matters too much so long as they don't drown everything else out, but idk what the ratio of puppet to user is so that might be a non-issue.

Without the 1,000's of puppets, the seasons wouldn't have as many legendaries, since every 1000 nations is one legendary. Big farmers like Noah with about 850 puppets, that's almost 1 legendary, Koem and Northern light with literal thousands of puppets, multiple legendary cards because of them in the next season. Yes, all of the common and low rarity puppets do get annoying and harder to find a certain card, but they get us more legendary cards

I try to give my puppets cute names and interesting flags, so at least someday they will make nice cards.

850, lol. That's probably where I should have stopped

Your point is valid but you don't need to farm 1000 puppets to guarantee a legendary as packs have 5 cards in them.

I was only referring to the fact that every 1,000 nations made is another spot for someone to get legendary next season, not in actual farming. You know it's a big season when it takes this long, must be a lot a storage used for just cards alone

If you think it's taking so long because of data sizes, you are wrong, the snapshot is a very simple process, there are players who trawl more information from each nation each day than are needed to create the cards. The admin are holding it off for a reason, I think most likely to just keep us surprised.

how do you cycle through so much alts?

As long as I can hit Top 1% for Economic Output before S3 hits, and maybe Top 10% for population.

+1 Gold badge (from Red), then +1 Green badge.

Yeah, what's your secret? I can barely manage 15 alts.

Firefox containers/scripts/autologin to keep them alive. Not like I farm 2000 puppets a day or anything.

I just hope I can get all my puppets in my ideocube collection back to their designated WA categories before S3 drops. I'm pretty sure I had all 8 of them in the "right" WA category at some point last year, after Season 2 dropped.

The snapshot was in November and the season started in December, iirc. Remember how there was the period where you could change your card and stuff? I'm pretty sure Fauzjhia's right.

Yeah, but December 2020 didn't happen yet.

Well i wrote this comment at January 2021, nothing happens yet tho

i was wrong.
and sadly.

i can't wait for s3, because I get tired of having to defend the Market value of my cards.
I took a guess, based on the moment s2 started, it turned out to be wrong, as simple as that.

and yeah, I managed 247 nations on nearly daily basis, I would never be able to manage those nation without Firefox containers.
but before, I used to manually switch....
I still don,t use script to answer issues. so big farmers are still faster then me.

And I still manually switch between many dozens of farms and puppets for cards

as far I know, they are legal

I know of 1, I briefly used with Dragonia nation only.
its a a python that generate link, and pair with firefox containers, you can press enter to directly answer an issue,
so enter, close, enter close, and you can answer a ton of issues way faster then ever.
https://github.com/jmikk/gotIssues here what they use



it answer issues randomly, but farmer do not care about stats.

I use a key script.
a remember issues choice script. that en-light the option I previously picked if I find the same issue again. and things like that

My guess for season 3 cards is April 1, 2021.

You know, they might do that

Bruh, now that you’ve leaked their plans they’ll have to postpone it even further /:-(

You know I read this and was like "A YEAR FROM NOW????" and then I realized it is not in fact 2020 anymore and I feel stupid now xD

there should be a new season/line of cards every 1 or 2 years, that's my opinion

I'm waiting of Season 3, for my new flag, and I would see that in Season 3, my nation would upgrade to Epic status or remain to Ultra-Rare

Does anyone know when the trading cards will update, and we will have a new season of them?
