ONE THOUSAND BLANK WHITE CARDS
So wait what is this crap
Remember that game, Calvinball? It's pretty much exactly like that, except online and with Photoshop.
Huh. Go on.
One Thousand Blank White Cards is a card game. Every player gets five cards. They go around one at a time, drawing one card and playing one card on their turn. Play continues until the deck runs out. A really simple concept, I know, but it gets a little more complicated/insane, so bear with me.
The trick in the game is that, generally, you're writing the cards, because the majority of cards in the deck are blank. You can do pretty much whatever you want with a card - make up a rule, destroy rules, modify rules, give people titles, make horrible and unreasonable demands, give points, anything you really want. Here's an example from a game that I was in:
Note the important elements: a title, an image, and what the card does. These are the three things that are pretty much required in every card, but things can get a little stranger as time goes by:
Or even
Or possibly
Listen I think you're getting the idea.
Wait hold on this isn't making sense
That's the intention, yes.
Why are we doing this
To win, of course! Kind of.
Cards will often hand out points, cards, glorbnaks, evil ex-boyfriends, etc. This is perfectly alright, but a true player of One Thousand Blank White Cards knows the point is to be funnier than all the other fuckers playing this game. If you make people laugh, you're winning. If you don't make people laugh, you're a loser and will never be cool, ever.
you can't tell me what to do, you're not my real dad
I am now, baby.
I'm running the game, my powers are boundless and unconstrained by the cards of players. I reserve the right at any time to ruthlessly remove anyone from play for not posting a card within 24 hours of their turn, or if they are terminally stupid. I am a loving dictator.
so how do I sign up
Register your interest in here, and PM me with five cards you have made to be included in the deck. I'll be accepting the best five people to apply. Let's go for it!

I. Laws May Not Be Altered By Players.
II. My Word Is Law.
III. You MUST Play A Card Within 24 Hours Of The Start Of Your Turn, Or Your Turn Is Forfeit.
IV. Forfeit Two Turns, You Will Be Replaced.
V. Any Card Requiring A Player To Do Something Will Have A Deadline Of That Player's Next Turn And Not Sooner.
VI. Every card does exactly what is says on the card. You may not errata a card in your posts. If there is a dispute, refer to Law I.
VII. Spectators are welcome as long as they post in italics.
Law 5 has been created to prevent the game from sputtering when we had to wait for everyone to decide whether or not they were traveling widdershins before the game could continue. You may complete any tasks prior to your turn coming round with no penalty.
As an additional side note, I will be intervening in the game with special cards when I please if I feel the game needs a gentle nudge.
Blank White Cards in Your Hand Look Like This:
USE THIS CARD AS A TEMPLATE (ERASE THE TEXT). ALL NEWLY MADE CARDS MUST BE 300x400!
Expect my cards soon
Damn.I just had amazing ideas for cards too. I guess we'll never see a Mechaloctopus or a Betterfree card. *WINK*

We've got four people expressing interest and two sets of cards submitted, so I'm hoping we'll get one more within the next day or so, that way we can kick this game into high fuckin' gear.
damn it fab. now if i put my mechaloctopus in, people will think it was your idea.
Of course if we only get five people to sign up, I will just have to murder all of you.

Everyone now has twenty-four hours to submit cards before I close sign-ups and start the game.
edit: shit now we have six people who have submitted cards, might have to expand the player limit from five to six
Gonna card you all so hard

You have twenty-four hours after the beginning of your turn to post a card. Summaries will be posted when I can. Unless there is a major hold up, continue playing until the end of a round, but play ceases as soon as the last player finishes their turn, and does not begin again until I have posted a round summary and sent out everyone's new cards/dealt with any major shenanigans.
Some early clarification:
Any die rolls, coin flips, or other random allocation will be done by me.
All characters must be made by your turn in the next round, if needs me.
