Sorry for the delay, guys. Was out for most of the day, then when I got back the site went down...
Angry Scientist has the power to make anything by writing down its name. So what does he pick? A blank card, of course! juancarlos11 is astounded by this simple act, and demands that he be able to do it as well. He doesn't though, so he just gets joint ownership of the card with Scientist. You had your chance, buddy!
Black Wolfe calls forth THE WINSLOW! But in the blink of an eye, the card maintaining its existence is BAT-PUNCHED into oblivion, and then everyone was sad. Meanwhile Ralphrius is disappointed that nobody in this game is a master of Purple Prose, so he hands Noaqiyeum The Magnificent a Guy Fawkes mask and tells him to speak with lots of really long nouns and verbs and oh-God-I-don't-know-what-half-these-fucking-words-mean. Speaking of words, Reecer 6 claims to be good with them! And he gets a whopping six points for his skill.
Kuiper spins the Wheel of Fortune, and finds himself able to buy a vowel. But in this Wheel of Fortune, "buying a vowel" consists of taking points from someone and giving half of them to yourself based on how many vowels their next card has. Unfortunately, Kuiper would only gain 10 points from this play, thanks to everything being NERF'd. And since the other 690 points Noaqiyeum The Magnificent would have had stolen would be subtracted, nothing happens.
Now far from discouraged, Noaqiyeum The Magnificent turns the game into Uno, grabbing four cards from the deck and demanding that the next card be coloured...violet! How will the other players handle this?
Game Status:
- Angry Scientist (60 points, 1 blank card shared with juancarlos11)
- Black Wolfe (0 points) (1 burger) - must skip their next two turns
- juancarlos11 (0 points) (1 burger, 1 blank card shared with Angry Scientist) - can give orders to a player during that player's turn
- Ralphrius (0 points) (1 burger)
- Reecer6 (11 points) (1 burger)
- Kuiper (10 points) (1 burger)
- Noaqiyeum (0 points) (1 burger) - must be referred to as "Noaqiyeum The Magnificent" at all times during the game; must vaingloriously and vociferously vocalise various verbs and other parts of speech, in a manner most vivacious
Global Effects:
- Any card that was played before Noaqiyeum's first turn doesn't affect the player who played it
- Any card that gives 100 or more points gives 10 points instead
- Any card that subtracts points does nothing instead
- All cards are derailed
- Game is now also a game of Uno: when a card is played, it must have the same colour or number as the last card, unless the current card is a wild card
Only one card left in the deck after Scientist's turn. Better get those new cards in fast!
Even though I'm skipping turns, I'm going to be submitting cards to keep the deck full and because I really like making cards.

BlackWolfe! I, NOAQIYEUM VI MAGNIFICENT, COMMAND YOU TO EXPLAIN EVERY REFERENCE ANYONE MAKES THROUGHOUT THIS GAME!
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NONoaqiyeum the Magnificent just played a card whose name and effects are simultaneously a reference to the titular ability in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Revolution and to the celtic tradetion of the geis (Irish) or geas (Scottish), which is described by That Other Wiki as "an idiosyncratic taboo." In the manga/anime, Lelouch has the ability to force a geas upon anyone who makes eye contact with him. The card itself has two references to the anime: specifically, the closeup of Lelouch's eyes in the card image, as well as the red symbol overlapping with the letter G in the card title.
In addition, Noaqiyeum the Magnificent made a Pot Hole to Don't Explain the Joke, which is an Older Than Dirt comedy trope that derives from the sentiment that if a joke has to be explained to be funny, then it isn't funny.
In the course of doing so, I referenced "That Other Wiki," a semi-derogatory nickname for Wikipedia, as well as Older Than Dirt, a hyperbolic way of stating that something is really, really old.
I suspect, although this next statement does not reflect my geas, that Noaqiyeum the Magnificent will come to regret this command within three rounds.
Also, I've been called in to work at short notice again, dadgummit *.

START THE EMBLEM GRID ANYWAY!
◊ I have a black card in my hand, so I use it to place my first emblem.
... The Emblem Grid does count as wild because it works with multiple colors, right? Right? ... T-T

Hey! Read my fanfic: HereThe Emblem Grid counts as ANYTHING YOU WANT IT TO BE!
EDIT: Though I didn't account for the Uno thing though :C

Stargate SG-1 Let's Watch. Because my ZHP thing failed.I vote that it shares a number with Geas and thus is a legal play.

◊ on Black Wolfe! Also, this is gray and so is the grid one and so it fits.
I have a card with green on it, so I place a green emblem on my grid.
Soul is ugly.-Just figured out what it means that the cards are now played like Uno-
Oh help.
EDIT: Also, I'm off to bed, so my next turn's going to have to be tomorrow, somewhere. Any idea how many cards there's left?
