[Apples to Apples] This round's word: Fantastic

Apples to Apples!

You're familiar with this, right? It's super simple: you've got a hand of Red Apple cards (nouns, titles, people, events, etc.). The Judge for the round plays a Green Apple card (descriptions), and all other players, in secret, play a Red Apple card that they think best matches the Green Apple card.

It's really funny.

So sign up here! Sign up in AWESOME APPLE RED FOR APPLES if you'd like to play. If you need a comprehensive set of rules, check below. We can only accept eight players max, but are accepting reserves it gets to that.
The Rules

Everyone takes turns being a Judge. The Judge doesn't participate in the round. Instead, I post a Green Apple card that the Judge oversees. Everyone then PMs me a Red Apple card that think best matches it. If the card mentions "My __________", like "My bathroom" or "My lovelife", the "My" is from the Judge's point of view, not yours.

So if the Green Apple card is "Smelly", you could play a Red Apple card that said, "Garbage," or, "Feet."

These are given to the Judge in secret, so they won't know who played what. The Judge decides who had the best (usually the funniest) match, and whoever played that card wins the Green Apple card. Then we refill hands, and the next person gets a chance to Judge.

We're playing until someone gets a set number of Green Apple cards depending on how many people are playing.

    Still angry that I got shafted out of a well-deserved point last game. Vengeance must be had.

    I mean, I submitted Israel for Complicated and lost to Global Warming? That is straight up bullshit.

    I propose an alternate rule:

    a card can only win if it is funnier than "Adolf Hitler".

    Doh, so close. Reserve up, I suppose.

    In case one of you gets hit by a bus.

    Not that I'd wish that on any of you.

    Cool, we're all set! But I need to go to sleep 'cause it's like 1:30 in the morning. So, tomorrow (well, later today, I suppose!) I'll send out hands, randomize the turn order, and send out the first Green Card.

    I'm sending out hands and posting the turn order. Check the OP for things relevant to you, citizen.

    The turn order is thus:

    WhiteWolf
    DarkPrimus
    lonelyahava
    Hylianbunny
    Daius
    crimsoncoyote
    simonwolf
    Delmain

    And the first person to get eight Green Apple cards wins!

    WhiteWolf, you're the first Judge. Here's the Green Card you'll be Judging:

    Dreamy - (fanciful, whimsical, heavenly)

    I'm sure we'll get more table talk going after a couple rounds.

    Let me just say that this is a rather weak play for me.

    Yes, yes, you all did horribly. Now here's the selection!

    Dreamy
    A Few Good Men
    Lucille Ball
    Bonbons
    Road Kill
    Lemon Meringue Pie
    Marlon Brando
    Eddie Murphy

    Notice how, like, two of these things fit the criteria! Which is good, if you don't like winning.

    Great job, Bonbons! You certainly were a choice! That would belong to DarkPrimus, of course, who wins the first Green Apple card.

    Here comes our next Green Apple Card:
    Magical

    DarkPrimus, you're up as Judge!

    Lemon Meringue Pie was a worthy second place from me.

    Don't ask me how I know it was second place

    That would have been my pick for first, if it makes you feel any better.

    He was considered to be quite dreamy in his time... *shrugs*

    I would have been picking between Brando and the Pie. Probably the pie. But we all know how my opinions are...
