I have just signed up here for one main purpose: to make sure this game isn't dead. There have been little to no recent posts about it, and the linked wiki has been erased. Does this card game still exist?

Pretty dead. Though I only recently found out that the wiki was erased. That wasn't actually my doing, it was because the wiki I was using closed down.
I'm pretty busy with other projects right now, and for the most part the game is complete. I've been trying to work out a time where I could just dump everything onto Tumblr and/or make a google doc with all the rules. As long as that is something that would interest...I dunno, anyone.

I'm still interested in it at least. Thank you for the response.

No problem. Glad to know that someone still cares. I'll think of something and do it sometime next week when I have more time. Like I said, I have another major project I'm working on and I haven't been into ponies as much lately so the desire to work on it is lacking. But I'm sure I can at least preserve things like the cards and rules for future use so other people can play the game.

Thank you so much! From what I saw, this is a very interesting card game.

I like to think it is.

Through the Tumblr, I have already offered my help, but I think it is best to communicate here. Is there anything specific you need help with? I have a few talents, and a sister who has even more and wouldn't mind helping.

It turned out I was busier last week than I thought I would be, so I didnt' get a chance to redo anything. The first thing that we need to do is probably recreate or recover the rulebook from the wiki and transfer it to either a googledocs or here. Luckily, the Way Back Machine archived a snapshot of the old wiki and so recovery might be really easy. web.archive.org/web/20150713030133/http://mlpfimtcg.wikispot.org/If you'd like, just take as much of the rulebook as possible and copy that information to a googledoc and share it with me. Then we can decided whether to place the rulebook here or to just touch up the googledoc and use that.

Cool, I got your message. So now the rules are recorded, I say we open that googledoc to the public, make it so no one can edit it, probably except for us, and I'll post that to the tumblr.
And to be honest, that's all I can really think of now. The next step should be to archive all the cards but that's not really a necessary step since the game should still be downloadable with everything in it.

We could also try pushing more interest in the game. The game is already pretty open source and adding new cards is easy if people want to continue the game. I know I had some ideas, but I'm really busy nowadays. I made the game as a summer project.
No one on the Facebook ever seems to reply to the messages I leave. Sigh.

Sounds good. If you can, direct them to the forum and maybe start up some conversations. Getting feedback was the hardest thing when I was trying all this.
