[BLANK WHITE CARDS] Role play party, you are the subs, I am the dom

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:

cardwangville.jpg

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:

BITCHES.jpg

Or even

006Edcrab_DodgyComicBookPhysics.jpg

Or possibly

319Hylianbunny_RamonaFlowers.jpg

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!

    WITNESS THESE, LAWS OF INFALLIBILITY:
    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!

    If I was any good with photoshop I'd be in this like a Seething Octopus on Blu-Ray. As I'm not even remotely competant at it though, I'll just have to be a spectator. Make me proud all of you.

    Damn.I just had amazing ideas for cards too. I guess we'll never see a Mechaloctopus or a Betterfree card. *WINK*

    Yes, like it says above, you make five cards as your sign-up and PM them to me, and I will determine the best five people (also the most hilarious people) to join the game.

    Of course if we only get five people to sign up, I will just have to murder all of you.

    Well I went and got surprise drunk on a Tuesday night and am currently on the train home from some Japanese bar with a cute girl who I made awkward passes at, but is there any other kind.

    Our lucky winners are also the only people who sent in cards, the sexy people hereafter known as Abysmal Lynx, Daius, EvilBadman, psolms, MrBlarney, and the ever-sexy Alegis.

    Opening hands and turn order to be sent out/posted in the next hour or so.

    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.

    Daius decides that this thread needs a lot more D&D all up ins, and changes the thread title to reflect this sudden change in system. Apparently everyone needs to roll a character to dicuss as part of the out of character discussion, which is a perfectly acceptable course of action.

    All characters must be made by your turn in the next round, if needs me.

    Oooh, I'm hating this game already. I have no idea what kind of character to make (and with my eye for correctness, you know I will be spending way too much effort on building a character that will never see any use) and the cards that I submitted for the game are far too conventional for the types of shenanigannery that occur in the forum format. What the hell.

    Abysmal Lynx decides that he'll help Layton get some more puzzles, in return for some delicious Pictarats. EvilBadman decides that he likes his cards the way he likes his Franknfurters - transexual. From here on out, all the cards are now reversed in gender, until some dudes take pictures of themselves wearing women's clothing.

    All players must PM Abysmal Lynx a puzzle to solve by start of his next turn.
