I hope everyone's been having a good week so far! I woke up today with really bad neck/shoulder pain and I've lowkey felt kinda nauseous all day so my brain is not all here right now and I'll probably be doing the bare minimum today, I'm sorry :')

TCG NEWS

With the Studio Program game set updating today, Jackpot, Memory, and Heartful Gift have been updated with new graphics of the 4th, 5th, and 7th Place winners respectively from the 1st Sparkling Senbatsu event!

As for this week's deck release, the featured theme is "Spooky Season" so I've included decks with dark colours as well as those that feature spooky or Halloween-themed images! Unfortunately, this excluded a lot of the decks that had the most votes (although more than half of the release are still decks that had been voted for) but I wanted to release some decks that could be used for the themed rounds we have of a couple of our forum games early in the month to give people to collect/master what they might need so I ask for your understanding! Next week, I'll pick a theme that will allow for more voted/requested decks to be released!!

GAME UPDATES

Thanks to Ari and Noelle, everything should be caught up on for Sparkling Tour now! Rewards should've been passed out for September & new Set Lists for October have been made so if you were waiting for those, double check that you got everything (and if not or you were missed for something then do let our staff know).

As for Collab Stage, there are still 9 spots left so the same rules as last week still apply this week: players will be allowed up to 3 images! Your 1st image must be donated to the game page itself, the 2nd image can be donated on Discord, and the 3rd image can only be donated after 24 hours have passed since your 2nd image was submitted. Additionally, rewards have been specially increased to 4 random cards, 2 ribbons, 1 EXP for every image donated (although the game page will say the donation reward is still 2 random cards, 1 ribbon but just ignore that for now) so hopefully this encourages more donations and we can finally finish this round!

COMING SOON

See you on October 14th for the next update!

Wishing Stars

Welcome to October! I don't have much to say today since the rest of the update is plenty wordy enough but I did want to mention that I currently don't have any plans for a full Halloween event this month, except maybe something self-managed by players like Trick or Treating - but if anyone's interested in something like that then let me know and I can set it up fairly quickly!

SITE MILESTONES

A new month means a new monthly milestone! Anyone can grab the monthly milestone at any time during this month, no matter if you join in October or are already a member.


Site Milestones (2026-10-01): ev-202610


TCG NEWS

A new month ALSO means everything has been reset/updated: deck donations, graphic donations, site games, specific forum games, etc. If you celebrate a birthday this month, don't forget to pick up your present and claim your Birthday Perk + Player Milestone on the forums before the 31st as well! (I will be getting to the September birthdays after this update!)

We also have a new Donations mod: mio! She will be in charge of sending out rewards for those going forward, and anything not rewarded to yet will be handled by her once she's able to!

I've started rolling out some of the 1st Sparkling Senbatsu event prizes that affect things on-site have as well! For now, I was only able to change some graphics/games to feature the winning characters (more specifically: the admin forum account's avatar, the images used in Pose!, and the graphic for Gachapon) but the remaining changes for the rest of the Sparkling7 winners will be rolled out when the game set they belong to is updated next (4th/5th/7th Places) or as soon as I'm able to finish them (8th - 10th Places).

As for Photobook Shoot which is part of the 3rd Place's prize, the images will be updated with the winner's images in November due to October being Halloween themed images! The new site and forum layouts + site milestones--featuring the 1st and 2nd Places respectively--will also hopefully be done sometime this month so if you see any changes to the site/forum looks randomly, I am probably testing out colour schemes or something LOL

THEMED DECK RELEASES FOR CCTOBER

With Halloween this month and trick-or-treating being a staple of the holiday, we will be doing themed releases every week for the duration of October! Themes will mostly come from previously submitted wishes but there may be one or two weeks that are admin-chosen to be more Halloween-themed than others.

As a disclaimer/breakdown on how which decks will be chosen for each release, half (or as close to half as possible) of the release will be the decks with the most votes that week as long as they also fit that week's release theme while the other half will be admin-selected to also fit the theme.
  • If a deck that has a lot of votes does not get released then it means it didn't fit that week's theme but I will try to release it as soon as a theme allows it to! This also applies to Fan Club requested decks & Dream Festival requested decks, both of which I will try to fit in as many as I can given they fit that week's theme.
  • If there's any decks I wasn't able to find a release for them to be in by the last October update, I will make sure to release everything then even if it means I have to increase the total amount of decks and/or even if they don't match that week's theme!
For this week's theme, "rainbow" is being interpreted as the colours present in a standard rainbow (with indigo being combined with violet into just purple) so red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. This means there will be 5 decks of each colour making up today's release, and no other colours will be present this time!

Additionally for this week only, requested decks from September that also matched one of the colours took priority over decks with the most votes. Any remaining requests from September not released today will likely be released next week!

GAME UPDATES

Apologies for the delay on updating Your Idol but results for Round 018 have been posted, and a new round has started! Dhee has also been staying on top of Hit or Miss so do check out the forums for that!

In addition to the regular site games scheduled to update, we have a new Group Collect round: hinahikawa-littledevil & Halloween Night! Not only is it Halloween this month but with this being our 10th round as well, we will be collecting 2 decks + all rewards have been doubled!! We unfortunately did not finish last month's round so only Partial Completion Bonus rewards will be sent out later.

Regarding Collab Stage, September's round will continue until the 3rd, and players will be allowed up to 3 images so we can hopefully finish the theme by then! Your 1st image must be donated to the game page itself, the 2nd image can be donated on Discord, and the 3rd image can only be donated after 24 hours have passed since your 2nd image was submitted. A new theme for October will then go up afterwards once the previous theme is finished!

SPARKLING TOUR

First, please welcome our new mods, Ari and Noelle, who will be working on responding to September posts and making the milestones for those! As you may have seen on the Discord already, Ari caught up on the outstanding milestones from July and August so if you completed either/both of those months' tours then make sure you check your thread to pick up your milestone(s). These will be added to your profiles later!

Secondly, October registrations are now open! Set lists will be approved as soon as we can get to them, and graphics will be made & dropped off later if they aren't given out right away when we post approvals. Rewards for September will also be sent out by our new mods sometime this week or next, and they will make an update in the Discord once they have.

Lastly, I wanted to remind everyone who participates in Sparkling Tour about the following rule:
  • Once a deck is used for a mastery-related task, it's just that specific mastery instance that is counted! You could use multiple masteries of the same deck for different or the same tasks (unless re-masteries are banned) as long as you've mastered it enough times.
That means you CANNOT use the SAME mastery log of a deck for different tasks, or even within the same task (if it's a task that asks for more than 1 mastery). If you want to use the same deck more than once in the same month, you will need to re-collect and remaster it as many times as you want to use it - thus, unique logs for each mastery instance/use must be provided!

This rule has been in place since the game started, and applies to ALL TASKS INVOLVING MASTERIES (hence the phrase "mastery-related task") whether they are the regular tasks available every month or a themed/special difficulty task, so please remember this when planning your set lists and while working on completing the tasks.

If you were previously rewarded for tasks where you did this due to staff oversight, you will not be asked to remove anything; however, going forward if this happens then the task will be considered incomplete and you will not get rewarded for it! Additionally, this would also affect whether you receive the Grand Prize because your Set List would no longer be considered fully completed.

COLLAB STAGE RELEASE

In addition to the regular deck release, we have a new Collab Stage deck to release: themed-valentines! After this, we should be back on track with releasing Collab Stage decks in the same order they were completed so the next one will be Flowers, our May deck. One day, I'll be caught up on these and not releasing them months after they've finished...!


(View the Donator List if you forgot what card/s you donated)

Members who submitted an image can take the card that it was used in (or if your only submission was used for the master badge then you can pick any card) as their Donator Pull for free, and it will not count towards regular pulls. If you donated 2+ images to the deck, you can only take ONE (1) card as your donator pull so choose which card you want between the images you submitted!

The claiming form will not have a field for you to add the Donator Pull officially so just edit your comment after it's posted with what you took and log it with your other pulls! This deck should be included in the dropdown list if you want to take additional cards from it however, but they WILL count towards your regular pulls and must still follow the stated pull restrictions/limits in this case.

COMING SOON

I mentioned this on Discord but I just wanted to apologize again for the delay on this update, as it took me longer to complete than I had anticipated ;; I didn't get to finish everything I wanted so hopefully I will have them ready for next week :')

See you all on October 7th for the next weekly update!

Wishing Stars

Kindly take a total max of 2 cards per deck if there are no restrictions indicated.
