Chapter 102 Cards
In order not to let extracurricular activities affect the business, Evan decided to write out the rules of the card overnight.
Evan writes very quickly, and his writing is like flowing water. This is not how powerful he is, but because he was once a veteran Magic The Gathering player.
The so-called exchange card game, as the name suggests, is a game with a very strategic strategy based on collecting cards. Players need to obtain a random supplementary package of content, collect cards, and then flexibly use different cards to form decks that meet the rules according to their own strategies. Due to the different decks and the luck factor of the card draw, there are endless changes, so each game can bring different experiences to players. Moreover, because of the functions of cards, the ornamentality of the card surface and the scarcity of quantity (usually artificially created), these cards have certain value, and players can trade and exchange their own cards. Therefore, since their birth, the number of players in the exchange card game has been increasing.
In the last life, the game of exchange card appeared relatively late. The pioneering work of such games, Magic Cards, was not designed by mathematics professor Richard Garfield until 1993 and released by Wizards Of The Coast. However, in China, Magic Cards has developed tepidly. Players are more familiar with another similar game - "Yu-Gi-Gi-Oh," adapted from Japanese comics.
With the addition of animation, the work "Yu-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-G
Of course, after the Internet age, due to the success of Blizzard Hearthstone, the cards collected by players have changed from physical cards to invisible and intangible digital cards.
Evan has played all the above series of card games, and he especially likes Magic Cards. Unfortunately, because there are few players, he gradually stopped collecting real cards after work, but joined the online player army.
With a hint of nostalgia and a hint of prank mentality, Evan went to bed only after writing the rules and settings.
However, Evan, who was lying in bed, could not fall asleep for a long time.
This day was a day when Evan was in trouble.
This day Europe experienced the coldest winter since 1883.
This day is the New Year's Eve in the Eastern World.
This day is the day when the new US Secretary of State George Marshall took office.
On this day, Evan joined an organization that aims at himself.
...
The next day, while having breakfast in a public restaurant, Evan threw the manuscript to Rick.
Rick looked and said, "I forgot to ask you yesterday, Evan, your game is brand new, what do you plan to do if you patent it?"
"Patent?" Rick didn't say this, and Evan really forgot about it. After thinking about it, he looked at Rick and said, "You seem to be very interested in this thing. How about it? Do you want to just set up a regular company to promote it?"
Rick waved his hand when he heard this and said, "I would like to thank Bumin for this!"
"I like to play and don't want to do such a hard-working and laborious job at all."
This statement shows the real reason why Rick is so enthusiastic about PWH - one word, play.
"Since that's the case..." Evan saw that Rick was really not interested, so he said: "I will register the patent myself, and then I will ask the company to sponsor PWH and make PWH an official partner. Well... the person involved in card design... In order to avoid disputes in the future, it's better to sign a contract..."
Evan's understatement meant that Carl was busy with work again.
"Okay!" Rick nodded, without any objection to Evan's handling.
After a while, Orville sat next to the two of them with breakfast, and he was preparing the IQ test information.
Evan could understand that Rick was for the sake of playing, but he was a little confused about why Orville joined PWH.
After Orville sat down, he talked to the two about IQ tests.
The concept of Intelligence Quotient (IQ) has been accepted by all walks of life in the United States for more than 30 years since its emergence (1947). As a means of evaluating individual intelligence levels, IQ tests are widely used in occasions such as job search, education placement, etc. During World War I, the United States used IQ scores as one of the reference elements for allocating Army recruit tasks. For this reason, a total of 1.75 million men participated in the IQ test together.
From the 1920s to the 1930s, the United States widely promoted the eugenics movement. During this period, 33 states in the United States successively performed compulsory sterilization surgery on "non-eugenic groups" such as mentally retarded and criminals.
To confirm whether a person is mentally retarded, IQ testing becomes the preferred method.
By the way, California was one of the pretty good areas for the implementation of eugenic sterilization campaign at that time, so that the German Hershey government at that time sought advice from California on how to prevent "inappropriate" births.
Let’s talk about IQ tests, there are many different versions of IQ tests that have been developed for more than 30 years now, such as the Binet-Simon test that focuses on language skills. The most popular one is the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, which was born when Lewis Terman, a psychologist at Stanford University, modified the Binet-Simon scale in 1916. As Evan is familiar with, the Wechsler Adult or Children Intelligence Scales, which are popular in the English-speaking world, has just been published not long ago, and is not very popular yet.
Orville seemed to have a good understanding of IQ tests, and without looking up the information, he suggested to Evan and Rick that he would use the Wechsler Intelligence Scale.
Orville introduced: "The Wechsler version can reflect more nonverbal abilities than the Stanford-Binai Intelligence Scale, which can only reflect language abilities, such as associative memory, perceptual speed, reasoning and induction. Therefore, I think the latter will be more suitable for us."
At this point, Evan agreed with Orville's point of view, so he immediately expressed his support.
Two of the three AOs reached an agreement, and Rick naturally would not sing the opposite tune.
Therefore, the PWH's enrollment test decided to use Wechsler's intelligence meter.
This result is the best for Orville, so he only needs to ask for information from David Wex, the maker of the scale, and can save a lot of effort.
After breakfast, the three parted ways.
Evan called Carl before going to class.
Carl, who was naked and received the call in the quilt, looked helpless when he hung up the phone. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to hold the warm and smooth body of the female companion on the bed and sleep for a while.
At noon, Warner, who had lunch with Evan, made a suggestion with him, "Evan, I suggest you make the background setting of the PWH card storytelling and novelization. Your setting is so grand that it will definitely attract many readers."
Evan nodded and praised, "Werner, you have a good idea."
Warner smiled and said, "You think it's OK, too!"
"Evan, the person who wrote the pen, do you have the right person?"
