[Game On!] Apples to Fucking Apples

Apples to Apples is the best game in the world.
You get these red cards, here, and as you can see, they all have stuff on them.
Then you've got these green cards, here.
Everyone has a hand of red cards, and everyone takes turns drawing a green card and playing it. Whoever plays the green card is the Judge - everyone else plays one of their red cards. The Judge decides which red card best matches the green card, either because it's a clever match, it's the best of the bunch, or because it's really funny. Usually, it's that last category.
Those are the rules. You get a hand of seven cards, and after Judging, you get another card to bring your hand back up to seven. To win, you have to get a certain number of green cards, depending on how many people are playing.
We can do 5-10 players. I'll play GM. Everyone sends their red cards to me so that the Judge doesn't know who sent them - I send them to the Judge. Afterwards, I replenish everyone's hands.
Attach a big, colorful !sign up to play. I already have a player in reserve, so we need at least four more players. When we reach a good limit, we'll begin.

i swear to god if you are even a second late with your post i will destroy you
Do we get make-your-own cards?
It looks like we have ten players, which is really cool. Bigger games are always more fun.
What I'm going to do now is send everyone their red cards. But then I gotta go to bed because I get up for work at 2 in the morning. I'll actually go ahead and put down the turn order and the first green card up now so we can have some fun with that, and post the results TOMORROW as soon as I get in and check it. And then check in every now and then and post results as they come. So, read your cards here in a moment.

Rend, you're up first. You don't post any red cards - just relax until tomorrow. Then you'll get a PM from me with all your choices. Green card coming next post.
I have firsthand learned the folly of that. So no.
Fair enough. Come here, I need some writing materials.
So many beautiful, magical oppurtunities.
So whoever the judge picks gets the green card if I'm understanding correctly? I'm sorry that this game will be over so quick, but you can all bask in the glory of my genius for even that short time.
That's right. And once you get four green cards, you win. With fewer people, you need more green cards (like with only four players, you need 8).
And there was much rejoicing.
Rend is a computer programmer of above average intelligence. He hails from the deepest levels of hell and his favorite drink is fresh virgin blood with mint. When not torturing overweight kittens, he spends his time developing Machiavellian plots to ensure your doom.
Rend is also a verb.
:winky:
Remember everyone: table talk is encouraged!
Rend, commence Judging.
Alright. Draft round 1, the following are officially OUT of the running (unless you can convince me differently).
Carl Sagan, Casablanca, the 1920s.
