Don't know if this has been posted before, taken from the steam trading card group:

-Yes we are thinking that you can get multiple booster packs drops for the same game, but it'll take quite a while to get multiple booster, certainly far from infinite.

- 'Participating in the community' wouldn't mean grinding out posts but doing at least one of some set of activities each week. It could be as simple as logging in and playing any game once a week keeps you eligible for boosters; it could be more complicated like at least one thumbs up on in your friends activity feed. Idling in games will not increase your chances of getting a booster.

- Game Collectors badge will be based on the # of games, regardless of price and where they came from. We're working with a few of the serious game collectors on getting the counting method just right.

- The Card Binder won't show cards you've sold or traded away; only ones that you have in your inventory or have been made into badges (ie. the same card won't show in multiple users binders). If people have a different suggestion for the name of Card Binder please post.

- None of this is going to ship this week. OK maybe the Game Collectors Badge will. Just don't hold your breath

For boosters, we were thinking that we would add a bonus to your booster pack drop rate based on your Steam Level, to give more incentives to craft badges while still giving everyone a chance. Something like:

Level 10: +20% booster pack drop rate
Level 20: +40% booster pack drop rate
Level 30: +60% booster pack drop rate
etc.

So a Level 50 users would get boosters at double the rate of a level 1 user.

Another option would be to make it so the booster you can get are better somehow at higher levels, but we haven't thought through what that would look like
Incentivizing with tidbits of arbitrary information doesn't make me want to stop selling my cards to people who think their Steam stature is important. Honestly, we can't infer anything from this other than it'll take you a painstakingly long time to get double the drop rate of a brand new user, which is altogether pointless given the amount of money you'd have to spend to reach Level 50. And even then, 1:2000 is twice as much as 1:4000, and is otherwise a realistically insubstantial gain.

Needs to be much, much better than this if they want to keep the card thing going.

Triple Town cards must not be in very high demand. Only 1/6 have sold thus far and I put them up at very competitive prices.
I guess that's to be expected, now that it's in a good bundle. Some of the cards are down to about 70-80 cents.

Well, it's still to be seen what weight the game collector badge has.

We could all be in level 20 something next week.

That'll be weird... having your steam level somehow correlated to your steam activity/games... rather than on some silly unrelated card trading pyramid scheme.

I think playing all those console games and tweeting about them and spamming them on CAG notifications has turned his mind to mush.
Ok ok, ill try and disable it (didnt want them posted anyway). But for the record, my mind has always been mush :dunce:
If you don't, I'm afraid we can't be friends much longer. -- What would the NSA think?

And why the fuck would you auto-tweet that shit? Auto-posts like that are total disrespect to anyone spammed with them. At least posts like, "I just took a massive
crap-emoticon.gif
" the misguided fool took the 5 seconds to bash that out with stinky fingers on their iFone.
I honestly feel really bad now. I had no idea you guys were getting updated about them so much, and hate that I've basically been a spam bot these last few weeks. Hopefully everything is disabled now, and I will try to avoid updating anymore. Sincerest apologies , I deserve all the flaming :cry:

How exactly are people getting these updates about you?

Does it have to do with the CAG friend system?

Do people use that?

Why don't I have friends?

I saw Johnny's mom being tackled by a man with a beard. They were naked. Was that Santa Claus?

Where am I?

 
Appears a new Awesomenauts character is gonna be patched in tomorrow, judging by new skins listed in the "Coming soon" area on Steam. Looked it up a little online and it sounds like it's gonna be voiced by the same person that did Tiny Tina, so that's a bummer.

Trine 2 just had a 14mb update. Cardzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz?!
Where does Valve first announce what the new additions are? Isn't there a forum thread or something? Google didn't help me.

Also, does anyone know why I have to keep re-signing in constantly since CAG 3.0 rolled out? Is it a browser problem? I'm using Chrome.

They'll post an announcement on the Trading Card group page once new additions go live.

Man, I played Triple Town for 2 1/2 hours straight last night. Very charming and highly addicting.

What better path to fiscal stability than selling Steam cards?
Oh the rage that would result from software apps getting cards.

I started Recettear last night and now I'm cranky and resentful that I have to be here at work instead of at home minding my pretend item store.

Just to make this sound worse: I'm cranky and resentful that I'm at the job where I'm posting on CAG and not at home playing video games. First world somethin'-somethin's.

I tore my acl and mcl and i'm out of work for two months, so all I do is sit at home and play games.
What are you, an NFL running back?
Neh. But my surgeon told me 10% of pro football players don't even have a functioning pcl any more, so they aren't going to mess with mine.

Edit: My lightly regarded career as as a parks and rec flag football wr/s are probably over though.

Sadly, I only have one of the cards. God dammit. 

 
Whoops already posted.

Any cheap deals for any of these games? I'd buy one if I could break even by selling the cards, it's fun.

Doesn't look like it. We just have to hope Trine 2 pops up in the next Humble weekly bundle, although by then, market value for these cards will tank.

I got an erection the last time I booted up Starvoid because I'm a necrophiliac.

Presuming you're not going to be murdered or come down with a nasty case of cancer, dementia, paralysis or blindness, at least you'll have plenty of time for that after 40 years of soul-sapping menial bullshit (yep, white collar) for five 8-hour-days a week of your fleeting and finite life when you retire.

I got a bluebird on my shoulder, y'all, and she concurs. I think that means I'm getting laid tonight.

I highly recommend Kerbal if you like building rockets, shooting them into space and visiting planets.

It's kinda like a NASA simulator in a sense as your building a space program. Tons of fun, and while it's early access, it has a lot of depth to it and is worth a buy. It's like Minecraft in beta stages. You can spend hours playing it but it's not done yet.

Also it has mods, and some good ones at that.
