1,000 Blank White Cards: Game 4

This thread will contain the fourth iteration of 1000 Blank White Cards, run by me. The third game ended in a 9-way tie due to the unintended consequences of a certain Brand New Day.

1000 Blank White Cards (or 1kBWC) is a freestyle card game in which the players create the entire deck. Cards can do ANYTHING. No, seriously. Anything. During the last game, a certain combination of cards caused at least 30 other cards to come into play at once, and back in the previous game, a different combo caused the scores of all players to skyrocket into the 27th order of magnitude!

Cards:

A card in this game is an image hosted anywhere, including here, preferably of size 300x400 pixels. Please remember that here on TVTropes, you may embed ONE image per post. A card usually has a title, an image, and effect text, although not all cards have all of these things.
  • If a card plays itself, by default it doesn't use the turn of the player that drew it.
  • Cards can be instants/actions or permanents/keepers, on a case-by-case basis.
    • Permanent cards are generally owned or controlled by the player that played them, unless the card in question doesn't affect its player, in which case it is owned the player that it affects.
      • If such a card directly affects certain players positively and other players negatively, it is owned only by the players it positively affects.
  • A card is targeted if a finite number of targets is implied or specified; otherwise, it is global.
  • Cards can be remade, but only if they are either not in play or for error correction purposes.
  • The library currently contains about 630 cards. You can make more if you want to, but strictly speaking it isn't necessary.

Definitions:

  • The library is the set of all cards that exist. The current library can be downloaded here and was compiled by me from my personal notes from Game 3.
  • The deck is the set of all cards that can be drawn by a player.
  • A player's hand is the set of all cards that they are holding.
  • The table is the set of all cards that are in play.
  • The discard is the set of all cards that have left play normally.
  • One turn is a set of actions taken by a player. At the beginning of the game, a turn consists solely of playing a card. A player may pass his or turn simply by doing nothing for 24 hours, after which the next player may act, and officially cause the pass.
  • One round is a period of time during which each player either takes a turn or passes. At the beginning of each round, each player draws a card.
  • Points or score are... well, see Scoring Points. At the beginning of the game, Points can also act as Hit Points (where 100 points = 1 HP).

Special

  • Negative points are allowed, but an effect that steals points cannot cause a player to fall below 0 points or affect a player that already has 0 or less points.
  • Likewise, an effect or power that requires you to pay points, either up front or after the effect, is unusable if using it would cause you to fall below 0 points.

Turn order and list of players, so far:

  • Stevebat
  • Jimmmyman10
  • Liberated Liberater
  • Noaqiyeum
  • Mezzopiano
  • Stolen By Faeries
  • Endark Culi
  • Angry Scientist
  • Bio Safety
  • Adannor
  • Space Jawa
  • eX

Yay. So to clarify, do we get negative points again this game?

You might want to ban me, since I've only finished one of four games, but I'd like to play.

Be warned that I will have internet trouble and real life will force me to miss some turns.

Let's see; one, two...seven? I may be wrong, and I'm not complaining, but it'd be funny if this isn't the first time I've come after six other players.

So, anyone wanna place metaphorical bets on how many posts it'll take to come up with a combination of rules that breaks the game?

[up][up][up]Well, that's just coincidence. I randomized the players I knew were participating to get the initial turn order.

[up]Sure.

I'm betting 200, but that's only because you have a limited number of cards.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

Ah, I'm still in the game but some new internet restrictions will have a negative effect on my ability to keep up - I'll do my best though.

[up][up] The two examples in this topic's first post spring to mind (10^27 point totals and using the 'do as much as you want with your hand' rule on a hand everyone shares). Personally, if you count conversation posts where no cards are actually played, I'm estimating 1000 posts before things go utterly bananas.

Speaking of conversation posts, I have a...creative card in the works.

Whenever we get our hands dealt to us, I'd presume.

Do not fear power... fear those who wield it.

I'm still working on that. The deal will come Wednesday, most likely, as I have a test to be studying for.

[up]Were you even paying attention? I didn't give you the go-ahead yet!

(No, you still don't have it - there's an immediate effect in someone's hand, and they have to choose who to give it to.)

Also, the game has the potential to break much, much sooner than you expect...
