New contest: Spec the Deck!

WOW - the silence is deafening... Have we stunned you all into silence? :P Just to clarify, all you have to do is list the names of the cards - not the cards themselves... Maybe I did not make that clear. Also, bear in mind that this is really just an exercise in having fun and being creative - we don't expect anybody to get all 53 cards exactly right. :P

But we did think it would be fun and lead to some creative discussions and maybe even some new cards for the future! ;) So, don't stress about it, but just have fun with it...

Ok, I only have 16 cards listed so far. Can I post and then edit?

Sure! As a matter of fact, if you guys want to create teams and work on it together, that's ok with me too! :D

I've been helping her anyways. My only condition is that if we win, she gets the UP.

I have to say that we were BLOWN AWAY by all of the awesome ideas you guys and gals submitted! Please head over to the Official Submission Thread and submit them! I think just from the cool ideas you all submitted alone, we could spin up "Heavy Metal 2" pretty easily! What an awesome load of phenomenally cool ideas!

Thanks to everyone who submitted! Please let me know if you liked this contest below and be sure and check out the newly released Heavy Metal deck!

Trust me, I have card ideas aplenty - and as soon as I get some of that precious, precious time to apply them to the template I'll submit them all in a giant flood of concepts.

Excellent!

You said: Just to clarify, all you have to do is list the names of the cards - not the cards themselves... Maybe I did not make that clear.

Guess I was confused slightly...you said the contest was based on the names of the cards...not the cards themselves. If the cards themselves would have also counted then it makes a difference in how people play. Perhaps the rules should be clarified slightly since that was not how the contest was judged.

I'm not sure what you mean, Dovebear. The contest was to try and guess as many of the cards that would appear in the deck as possible. As you can see, it doesn't matter if you call them the exact right name, but to get the effect of the card right. So you might guess Lightning Blast, but if there was a card in the deck called Lightning Bolt, you'd still get credit for that guess. If you guessed Mushroom Growth and there were no cards about mushrooms or growing them, then you would not get credit for that card.

Sorry if I was vague, I did not intend to be. There'll be more "Spec the Deck" contests, I assure you. :)

It was vague...you said "guess the NAME of the card, not the card itself". I read that to mean that I must guess the correct name of the card. It doesn't matter if I tell you what something does or not. If I could tell you abilities (with vague or made up names) and get credit for it, then it would have made a difference in how the game is played. But you said to "name" the card.

Er...ok - sorry, I honestly did not mean to confuse anyone. :(

Its fine. I just think that in the future, you should clarify the game a bit more. Its a vague game anyway...meant to have fun and see what people come up with. I imagine if you had said "You don't have to name the card, just briefly tell me what it does", then you might have gotten more responses. Or, even more ideas from the people that did post.

Ok - I'll try and do bettah next time.

Don't Diss Da Jen!
