Rocket Science started this game here. But unfortunately, he has fallen unresponsive to communication and thus the game stopped.
As the game has proved really fun and there were several more players interested, but missed the start, thus I'm starting this "snowclone" thread.
The original thread has a colourful introduction along with a live example of how awesomely ridiculous this game gets, so go read it to decide whether or not you are interested. I'm just going to repost the actual rules with some additions.


  • You have 24 hours to play a card, or your turn is forfeit.
    • If you have no playable cards in your hand, make one and continue on.
    • During each turn you make a card and send it to me for it to be dealt at the next turn (you can send more, of course).
  • I will also add some cards of my own making into the mix, so the basic obligations to fill up the deck are not strictly necessary.
  • Cards do exactly what they say. You cannot edit, update, replace or errata a card.

You can join the game at any time, just send in the starting batch of cards.

The game starts after a couple of days from this post. To start playing you have to indicate yourself by posting here and send me at least six cards. Cards must be 300x400 pixels (portrait) or 350x300 pixels (landscape), any methods of image storage are acceptable, but uploading them to tvtropes is more convenient. After all cards are delivered to the deck, I will shuffle them and deal them to the players. Turn order is decided by sign-up order.

  • Current player list
  1. Noaqiyeum x2
  2. e X
  3. Reecer 6
  4. Stolen By Faeries
  5. Mezzopiano
  6. Cygan Angel
  7. stevebat
  8. Endark Culi

  • Turn order
  1. Endark Culi
  2. Clone Noaqiyeum
  3. stevebat
  4. Cygan Angel
  5. Mezzopiano
  6. Stolen By Faeries
  7. Reecer 6
  8. e X
  9. Noaqiyeum

Recap 1, Recap 2, Rulesplosion, Recap 3. And then they all got mostly negated.

I am sign up!

Are we permitted to recycle cards we submitted to the last game in our submitted six?

How exactly do we "send you cards"? What goes on them? Why do the pictures need to be certain sizes? What happens after we give them to you? Sorry, I have a lot of questions.

Send me the links to them in a PM. Pretty much anything, see the thread I linked in the first post for examples. For style (and it's not only the picture on the card, it includes the text of the effect). After that, I send every player a random set of them, then you play with them; see the thread I linked in the first post for an example of how it went..

Hmm... seems complicated. How do I know what effects to put on them?

You don't. Just put whatever you feel will be fun to see played. The utter chaos that ensues during the game is part of the point.

I think I'll try. Let me get it straight; I make 6 images, with whatever pics and effects I want, upload them with the image uploader, and send the file name to you?

There is no deadline yet - it's only the beginning of gathering the players. I'll put a deadline after I'll think that there are enough players and no one more want to join immediately. But for now the game is just waiting, there is a lot of time.

I'm making one right now. Should I send it to you when it's done right away?

There isn't any real reason to do it - there isn't any king of pre-moderation on cards, pretty much anything goes. And anyway, I'm going to sleep, so I'll not see it any time soon =)

I can't not sign up for this! I'll send them when they're done!

I have finished my first! Do I upload it directly to Tv Tropes via the Image Uploader?

I'll join this thing. As I am not sure and I have to ask, Can I use my Old Cards?

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

^^^ This would allow you to show the actual picture in the post when you use it, instead of linking, so, yes.

^Yes.

I can't play this time, because of a lack of free time. I can, however, PM you the cards I made for the last game.
