DC Contest - Glory to CC!
« on: June 04, 2008, 10:30:57 AM »
Ok, I TOLD you guys I'd be returning with some crazy idea. However, it's nothing HUGE like last time, nor something I'll take on solo, so it's possible to keep it going even if I get busy.
Ok, so one thing a lot of us have either done or seen it done is DCs of Forum members. What I'm thinking of, is a DC SET, picturing the "eras" of good ol' CC, as a last tribute. We'd make one about the old age of CC, one about the downfall and one about TLHH's creation, and the members who survived the transition! Now, of course, only characters won't do, so we'll need different kinds of cards, and since I don't want to be selfish, and "tell" CCs history on my own, I'm calling all you DC'ers to help, in the form of a DC Contest! This way, we'll get the best possible DC Set about CC!
First, we'd decide on keywords we might use, as well as cultures. Then, a list of characters and a card-type breakdown.
After that, the contest begins! I'll ask for the first card, all contestants will make their version, and we select the winner. Winner gets a gp from each other member, and calls out on the next card to be made! This way, round winners get an "edge", since they'll select the card they want the most to make, although that doesn't necessarily means the winner will KEEP winning! ;)
So, who wants to try their hand? The more, the better!

Well, the "old age" would cover pipsqueak, EL's gf banter, tOO, the creation of the groups, tOO's banishing, etc. The downfall would cover the arrival of the brits (nothing personal, just for timeline purposes), NBarden's battle for spammer, Incognito, the Flame Wars with the Forum Groups, etc. The last one would cover the demise of CC, creation of TLHH, our struggle to bring in the new members, the first banning on the Forum's history, etc.
Anyway, gp for our first contester!

There simply must be an Elder Days era... those dark times before CC came into being. I myself would be one of the Eldar, as would a few others that are still around (AC, Bib).

Does "Dark Times" mean the old D forums? I joined those back during pre-reflections. Not that I was a particularly constructive member for a while there.... :-[

I'm in!

And we simply MUST have an Incog culture.
Don't mean to sound arrogant, but may I suggest including my Incog keyword from my old "Welcome to My World" DCs?

Incognito. (This minion is played face-down and remains so until assigned or revealed in play by an action.)

For example:
[3] •CG, Al the Killer  (B)
Minion – CC
Strength 7
Vitality 3
Site 2
Incognito. (This minion is played face-down and remains so until assigned or revealed in play by an action.) Lurker.
Assignment: Reveal this minion in play to discard a card at random from the Free Peoples player's hand.
"‘You've got the wrong guy. I'm not CarpeGuitarrem. They call me Al. Al the Killer.'"
Forget it. I'm not arguing with the computer anymore to try to get the sig I want....

Youre assassin game was a stroke of genius NB  :up:

Im in for this. As a matter of interest who was the first recognised "brit" in the "arrival of the brits" what sparked it off? I wasnt aware of this so im intrigued.

Don't forget about me, my friend! "Dáin's DC Duos" were all the rage back then! ;)

Oh, count me in, obviously. :up:

I liked the Incognito keyword a lot! Of course, it wouldn't appear in the first part, since Incog came during the era near the end of CC, but I was planning on ALSO "contesting" for cultures, characters, keywords and such anyway, so stay sharp to when we get to that! ;)
Let's see, how many are we so far? Around 4-5?

Hum... I think we can pull it off nicely enough with around 5 people, so I'll make a recount, invite some people personally, and see where it gets.
