Here's another question about 5.0 that might not be super easy to answer at this point. So, from looking at the WIP edits on the wiki, I like the overall ideas behind the sacrifice changes, but I keep wondering about one thing. Since the strongest artifact weapons require high levels of enemies to offer, is it possible to shoot yourself in the foot a little by sacrificing early? For example, if I'm an archeologist who would like to get grayswandir at some point, in 3.6 if I found an early altar I'd throw as many corpses on it as I could before moving on, but now, unless I have high level corpses around, I'm probably just going to get sting and orcrist and lock myself out of a better weapon, since the odds of getting an artifact go down with each one that already exists. Obviously artifact choices were pretty random before, so it's not like the best possible choice was guaranteed, but at least the pool was limited, now the ability to get cross-alignment gifts complicates things to a degree that's kind of hard for me to work out without the figures on the wiki yet. What do you all think of the sacrifice changes? Does anyone have more insight into the specifics of the mechanics?

Saw this on the wiki, was wondering if anyone knew the specifics here?

There's a lot of discussion online about how many new cards per day people add for language learning on anki, but I see surprisingly little information on what type of cards those new cards per day are. In my vocabulary deck, each card has a reversed card. I'd like to know what the most efficient way to introduce new cards in a deck like that is, given that there are many many days of new cards already created and waiting to be reviewed. Is it better to do a bunch of cards with side a first, then that same bunch's reversed cards, or to have each batch of new cards have a card and its reversed card introduced together? With the former option, is there any difference in efficiency between doing the batch with the production side or the batch with the recall side first? With the latter option, should sibling burying for reviews be left on? In addition to these choices, I even considered turning on all the sibling burying and selecting random notes for the gather order, so that the reverse card gets introduced right after its sibling moves past the 1 day interval, but then I started to worry I was getting a little settings-crazy and that none of these changes mattered at all. What do you all with reverse cards do?
