First of all welcome to the forums! We love having new members and creative minds!
I like that joker a lot. I see your first point focuses a lot on you wanting to make money. I want to warn you that if you are looking to make some quick money, playing card design is not the right place for you. Most card creators can tell you that making a creative design is very difficult and doesn't pay very well for the amount of time you spend (unless you are Dan and Dave, Theory11, or Ellusionist).
Great joker,
Best regards,
Nathan

I think you are right...Look at his response few posts down:

"who is tcac i have been drawing since i was real young .... i love cards and art and i want to bring those two passions together"

Obviously he knows about the thread: you asked about TCA(the con artist), he responded about tcac(the con artist company)

I noticed the same thing but I don't think someone from TCA would have bothered to put a picture of some artwork and pretend to be someone else. Alex can always check though.

That looks nice, but how are you planning on incorporating it into a deck of cards? Also, is english your first language?

Don Boyer · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2012, 12:07:48 AM »

Save yourselves the time, gang. He's that guy from TCAC, plain and simple.

Nice try. Perhaps next time...

jack the clown · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2012, 01:07:23 AM »

i am not from tcac ..... i looked at the page and got the link but here is the thing i was told about the con artist by a friend on facebook so he could get the free deck i do like some of the artwork but i am in here no way related to the con artist .....so please stop accusing me and if you look at ip addresses you would know that i am not ....i am an artist yes i do have a facebook but how is that relative to me wanting to do my deck i asked for help and you guys have been very rude .....

dee1orean · « **Reply #17 on:** April 01, 2012, 03:48:37 AM »

Hiya, I don't know if you are from the TCA or not but most new members spend some time on the boards participating in and contributing to threads before posting artwork for critique.

You could have offered to to design one of the cards for The Discourse Deck.

May I ask how old you are? You say you've been drawing since you were very young? How long have you been interested in cards? do you have a collection? Post a pic of you collection in the relevant thread.

jack the clown · « **Reply #18 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:17:05 AM »

well i have been drawing about as long i have been able to hold a pencil i got my first award in thee six grade ....i am not a hard cor collector like some of the people in here i have been playing poker for about 15 years or so granted i have had many decks of cards but all of which i have used but i just keep to the standard bicycle deck ...i am 29 years old ....i have been thinking about doing cards for a long time now...

Don Boyer · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2012, 04:41:50 AM »

Okay, "Jack" - you said here that you had no idea who TCAC was - even though no reference to TCAC had yet been made, only TCA.

I can't trust what you're saying, because you're already contradicting yourself. And that, folks, is enough for me.

Go jerk someone else's chain, we're not interested - I'm not, at the very least.

And even if you weren't "that guy", you write like you stopped school shortly after "thee six grade" and took up poker - at the age of 14. You don't have to be a "hard cor collector" to post here, but at least be honest.

jack the clown · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2012, 05:02:26 AM »

don ...this is my own deck called inked... my name is Jason ..... i have only been out in idaho for like two years now, and i am very knowledgeable. i don't appreciate the attack from you in the case that i have done nothing wrong. I came out from CA where i have been drawing and painting for years now... some of my artwork has been approved by Disney itself. If i was from TCA why would i be asking how to start a deck and what to do? If i have done anything to offend anyone on this board i am sorry...the name of my deck is going to be called "Inked" i am not trying to get rich i just want to have my art pressed on cards is all, is that a crime? The last time i checked TCA's Facebook site they wont even tell you that much. So i leave you with this if you want me gone from this board then fine ....If i get four or five people to post that they want me to leave i will delete my account with you guys ....I promise and i am a man of my word. Please just know that i am going to try and get this deck done regardless, this is what i want to do and i have been dealing with people telling me i am not good enough all my life and you are no different than them... Thank you all for you time , Jason

Don Boyer · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2012, 05:14:53 AM »

Jason, you are free to stay or leave as you choose. It doesn't bother me either way.

If I notice you're a genuine contributing member of the community and not some imposter, then I'll reach out to you with an olive branch and apologize. It's not beneath me to do so; I'm as fallible as the next human.

For now, simply accept that I'm having a hard time accepting the validity of your statements. I'm simply one person here among hundreds, and I'm sure you'll find others who are more receptive to you from the start. By and large, this community is very welcoming and accepting - but be forewarned that we have excellent bullshit detectors among us as well.

Here's to hoping that your statements are indeed totally truthful. Good luck.

Lara Krystle "Lane" · « **Reply #22 on:** April 01, 2012, 07:07:07 AM »

Whoa.... hold your horses people.
Paranoia much.
Heya Jason, I hope you don't take all of those too personally. Everyone is really paranoid with the whole Con-shitheads-dot-com.

But whether you are or are not, that remains to be seen. We have our Special Tactics Team who will Vindicate you or whatever.

Anyway, welcome to the boards.

NathanCanadas · « **Reply #23 on:** April 01, 2012, 12:55:21 PM »

You suggesting the I.P. thing is kinda suspicious IMO because if you were another member from TCAC, you wouldn't have the same I.P. as that other imposter. But anyways we will see.
The fact that you posted artwork immediately kinda also shows that chances are you are just a normal guy. Time will tell. Anyways, great work so far!
On a side note, we are working on a collaborative deck:
http://aethercards.com/discourse/index.php?topic=1595.900
It is a long read, but it is worth it. If you don't have a lot of time on your hands, just read the last 5 pages: they contain most of the important info.
Thx,
Nathan

jack the clown · « **Reply #24 on:** April 01, 2012, 02:53:04 PM »

i am just a normal person ....i do appreciate all the positive feedback it means a lot ... i have been doing these drawings almost day and night and I want to make sure it is something fresh and new on the scene....I have read through that thread, i will definitely put that into consideration.

Poll

would you consider purchasing this deck as far as concepts go now
