Kotomi is the smartest student at Hikarizaka Highschool, and one of the smartest in Japan, but she has a difficult time making smalltalk and opening up to new people. Reading is her usual hobby, but she won't say no to Rubik's cubes or a game of chess. What better way to make some new friends than to work together on a challenging jigsaw puzzle! Though these ones aren't quite the 10,000 piece puzzles you hang up on your wall.

This round closes on Friday, January 9th.

Just a brief note considering the imminent LJ collapse/shut down, I've been using a tool called LJArchive to make back-ups of my LJ whenever a scare happens. This recent fork by sharpden (Release 0.9.10) should be able to quickly archive all your posts INCLUDING the comments! It won't save the usericons but it will save any images people post in the comments or anything like that, so it's not perfect but it works! You can also use it to back up communities as well, which I highly recommend doing. It doesn't take very long and it's better to be safe than sorry with this at the moment.

HUGE news: my trading pile as text page now has a text box for easy selection instead of having to manually select all of it and possibly have your browser freeze. Thank you so much to Koinuko for the help!

As always, I'm open for trades of any size, from 1 card to 1000+ cards! Feel free to use my card sorter to see what I need from your pile, but if you don't have anything, I'm happy to take Favors fodder or randoms.

From this release I am collecting co-research, celestialking, enraptured, laprimera, cortondo, cascarrafa, alfornado, scepter, executor. Please think of me when you get these cards!

LAST WEEK'S DECK: unkillable - Korosensei, Assassination Classroom



John and Sherlock are chasing down a criminal for one of the latest cases that Sherlock has taken on, and they would like your help, dear Colors player! Hidden in one of the Colors decks is a clue that will eventually lead the detective duo to our culprit, and if everyone puts their brains together, ask questions and share information, there's no way they won't be able to find that missing clue! Can you help them, Colors players? John will give you some cards for your trouble!


GAMEPLAY AND RULES
☆ There will be 2 parts to this game - asking questions and guessing a deck!
☆ Players are able to ask questions on this post to narrow down the identity of the deck selected for the round.
☆ While the name of the game is twenty questions, you can absolutely ask more than twenty questions total :P
☆ You can ask multiple questions, but please ensure that at least three people have asked questions OR 24 hours have passed in between your questions! Please limit yourself to two questions a day per person and no more than five questions a week. Please wait for the reset comment before posting more questions if you have maxed out your limits!
☆ Questions should be yes/no only, as far as possible! In the event that a question is valid but does not apply to the deck (EX. "Is this character male?" for a character with no gender), the question will still count. Using mod discretion, the question will sometimes be answered with "sort of", "neither", etc.
☆ EXAMPLE QUESTIONS: "Is the deck name a verb?" "Is the deck Special?" "Does it feature a human character?" "Does the deck name have an odd number of letters?" "Does the character in the deck have glasses?"
☆ If you are confident that you have picked out the correct deck, you may post a guess to the GUESSES toplevel, which will always be the first comment on each weekly post!
☆ Players are limited to two guesses per week. You can guess the same as someone else, if you think they are correct. This is to prevent people from blindly and magically guessing a deck before we've even gotten off the ground!
☆ Submit your guesses using the following code:


☆ Each deck will get two weeks (1 biweekly round) for guesses - although if the deck is guessed early, a new round will go up with a new card on Fridays!

♪ I will be responding to questions and passing out rewards once a day. Guesses will be responded to at the end of the round/before the next round goes up to make it fair for everyone!

PRIZES
You will receive:
3 random cards for every valid question posted and answered
3 random cards for an incorrect guess attempt
5 random character cards + 2 random special cards if you managed to guess the correct deck!
☆ A bonus of 2 random crayons if you happen to be the first person to guess the correct deck!

This round will reset on January 9th and end on January 16th.

Riku's Favors 156

[personal profile] misheard posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


If you're a Mass Deck collector, you've probably experienced the moment when you've mastered a deck and then you get cards from that same deck while there are still several of the same series still unmastered. And even if you're not massdecking a series you might still find yourself wanting a different character from the same series.

Well, Riku is traveling multiple worlds in search of his best friend, Sora. While he's traveling he's decided to take requests from Colors Players. That is, he's willing to take your cards and change them into cards you need.



How does this work
★ Turn in cards from a deck to receive cards from another of the same series (for ex. chivalry -> trace, both Fate/Stay Night). All decks must be under the same name (so Fate/Stay Night is different from Fate/Grand Order).
★ Scrapbooks do not count as a series for this game. However, two cards from the same scrapbook may be exchanged for a choice card from that scrapbook.
★ You can use cards to swap choice cards of the same deck, but not randoms, as Swap Station is meant for that.
★ You can submit up to five trades per week.
★ Submitting five trades will get you two random crayons on top of the swaps.

Rates
👑 1 character card for 1 random character card from a deck of your choice from the same series
👑 2 character cards for 1 character choice card from the same series
👑 1 special card for 1 random special card from a deck of your choice from the same series
👑 2 special cards for 1 special choice card from the same series

★ For the two cards, the cards submitted do not need to be from the same deck, but they do need to be from the same series, naturally.
★ If you're taking choice cards, you can log them right away. In case of randoms and crayons you'll have to wait on me to do my rounds.

Please use this form:



Remember to include card images.

This round ends January 8th at 11:59 pm EST!

Happy New Year! Well this is kind of late, haha. It didn't start on on the best note, I hung out with Robyn and when I was pulling out to go home, it was raining and I couldn't see through my rear view camera clearly and I ended up bumping into a parked car across the road. ;_; I felt so stupid, I should have just looked through the rear view mirror, what was I doing! I left them a note about it at least although they haven't called me, and I didn't see any damage, so hopefully it won't turn into anything. I was so mad at myself! I still kind of am, haha. I also misjudged the driveway and took a big thump over the curb which wasn't great. Ugh! Hopefully it won't be a bad omen for the year to come.

In brighter news though, the new merch has come in! :D It's super exciting to see and touch and feel, it's all real! I still haven't worked out the exact logistics about how to set up shipping and all that... and this was just a test run of the charms. But it's so neat to see them anyway!

There's a restock of the Papyrus shaker keychain but they look the same so I didn't bother posting a shot of them here )

Excited to get the small clasps to put together a real chain and see how it looks! Gotta wait a few days for them to arrive though. There used to be a Joann's Fabrics close by where I could've just run and got them easily but it's shut down now. ;_;

On a more serious note, LJ's started banning people for posting outside of Russia within Russian LJ and adding money/id restrictions there, all of which bodes badly. This thread goes into it a bit more. LJ's gone through a lot of different scares over the years but this one seems really serious. If you have an LJ account you should back it up as soon as you can! I'm working on it myself. I've been mirroring these posts on DW for ages, but that doesn't keep the comments, and I want to save those too!

The thought of LJ really dying makes me so sad... I've spent so much time there. Even with Dreamwidth still up to continue long-form journal posting, losing LJ just feels so wrong. :< I've hung onto LJ all this time, even after almost everybody left, and to finally come to the end of it... it hurts to think about.

Silly Blanks 300 - Special Round

[personal profile] admiral posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


Last week's story: "January is a time for new NOUN! Are you going to make a ADJECTIVE resolution?"

Your gracious host, Trucy, runs a weekly magic show. To get the audience pumped up before the show, Trucy begins with a simple trick - a short mad libs story, a bit of magic, a couple of cards, and voila: free stuff! You might also be entertained, but no guarantees.

Trucy needs help deciding what her story will be about; however, it's funnier if the audience doesn't know until afterward, so you'll just have to submit your cards and see what happens at the end of the round. Help her fill out the major details by submitting deck names to fill in the blanks of her story idea. To thank you for your help, if you put the right cards into Trucy's magic panties, they'll magically turn into new cards!

THIS WEEK'S REQUIREMENTS!

Card 1
• Basic: Deck name is an ADJECTIVE
• Bonus: n/a
Card 2
• Basic: Deck name is a NOUN
• Bonus: n/a
Card 3
• Basic: Deck name is a VERB
• Bonus: n/a


You'll lose the cards you turn in, but for each basic requirement you fulfill you will receive 5 random cards. For this special round each card will automatically get you the bonus 1 random card, for a full reward of 18 cards total!

Good luck! This round will close on Thursday, January 8th!

Introduce yourself.
Tell us why you're doing the challenge, and what you hope to gain from it.

Hello, you can call me Toki! I'm a domestic dyke in her 30s and have been on DW since the early 2010s. I have an intro post that I'll be editing over the weekend, so I'll spill a little here. Outside of fannish interests: I love cooking, food, and tea. I enjoy writing cards and letters, and finding new penpals. I love stationery <3_<3 These days I'm more interested in meeting and talking to fannish people, then I am in needing to share a fandom with someone. (Though that is always exciting too.)

Fandom wise: I love queer media, horror, romance, and erotica.
Video games are my favorite medium but I also enjoy animanga, live action tv shows, graphic novels, and books.

Currently playing: Hades II
Currently reading: What Did You Eat Yesterday?, She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat, The Traitor and the Wretch

This is my 2nd year doing the Snowflake Challenge, and I'm back because I had a wonderful time - and was able to meet some very lovely people. Hoping for the same again c:

Challenge 285:
FRESH START
Sometimes your best option is just to start over.

Maybe it’s a project that isn’t going well, or a job that hasn’t worked out. Maybe it’s a new day, or a new year, one of those timepoints that encourage you to think about changes you want to make. Maybe it’s something more drastic – a new career or even a whole new life. Whatever the case, it’s time for a new start.

What does that look like? Is it by choice, or are your characters forced into it by circumstance? Is it easy, or not so much?

Write a story about a fresh start.

BONUS GOAL: “New year, new me!"

If your submission features this line, it will earn an extra point to be tallied in voting!
