AKA A Thousand Blank Cards w/ Tournament Rules

Have you ever heard of a game called A Thousand Blank Cards? Well this is sort of like that.
The basic premise is that everyone can make cards, and everyone uses the same deck.
Making an overpowered card is a little bit stupid, because while it's put into your deck, a copy of it is put into the deck of all 15 potential opponents! There are a few rules related to making cards (nothing restrictive), but the general rule of thumb is if you don't want the potential for it to be used on you, don't make it.

If you want to sign up, it is recommended you submit at least 5 cards some point before the first match. This will be first come first serve, though, so feel free to sign up before submitting your cards.

The basic rules are:

1) This will be a tournament set-up. First round will be 8 2v2 fights, next round will be 4 fights, then 2 fights, then one fight to select a champion.
2) You start off with 6 hearts and 100 points, and 6 cards in your hand.
3) You can make a card at any time, even if you are eliminated from the tournament. It will be shuffled into the decks of all other players. If you are currently in a match, and not waiting for the next round, it will not be shuffled into the decks of either you or your opponent right away.
4) If you hit 0 hearts, you lose.
5) You gain 100 points every time you destroy a card.
6) Points don't really do anything. You can make cards that cost points to play, cards that give you points, cards that steal points, cards that give you a boost if you have the most points out of everyone, and so on.
7) Cards also have hearts. If they have 0 hearts, they go away, unless stated otherwise. If a card says it has attack power, it can only damage the player directly if they have no cards defending them.
8) You draw 1 card per turn, and can play 1 card per turn. If you don't play a card, you draw an extra card.

The rules for making cards are:

1) Pretty much all of the basic rules that aren't bolded can be changed by cards. However, you aren't allowed to change the rules for making cards.
2) No card can target a player specifically (IE. Billy Is Great: Billy wins instantly because Billy is Best)
3) Cards CAN affect other peoples games (IE. ICBM: Deal 4 hearts of damage to a card in another game)
4) Cards CAN affect other specific cards, even ones made by other people (IE: Craig. Can only be destroyed by playing Blitzkrieg)
5) Cards CAN require competitions (IE. Both players play oregon trail and the person who gets farther gets points), but cards CANNOT use competitions for skills lots of people don't have (IE. Both players remix sunslammer and the one with the better tune wins points)
6) Cards CANNOT force the other player to do something they are uncomfortable with (No forcing the other player to draw Baby Muppet Porn)
7) Cards SHOULD be 300*200 pixels
8) Use random effects (coin flip, dice roll) sparingly.
9) Card text that is not in english, not legible, or in some sort of code is to be treated as gibberish and has no effect.

These are all valid cards:




One last note:
I will track your hands and decks for you, but you will be in charge of playing cards. PM me if you need to do something like draw a card or reshuffle your deck or recap what's in your hand.




There's a wiki now.

[DenizenShipper]

This looks simple, yet interesting. I'm in.

[Supernerd]

I'll play. I'll even submit 20 cards right now! Whats is the proper way to submit them? Do I post them here or PM you?

[Varkarrus]

I'd say pm them to me. Nice job making 20 cards!

[fivexthethird]

In!

[MasterBlade]

In :U

[causticlyOptimitious]

Are we allowed to submit cards without signing up for the tournament?

[fivexthethird]

Do we have to specify how many hearts cards have?

[DenizenShipper]

How about... If there isn't a heart number on the card, it enters play, has an immediate effect, then leaves play. Knock Knock joke is probably supposed to work like that.

[Varkarrus]

7) Cards also have hearts. If they have 0 hearts, they go away, unless stated otherwise.

you got it bustah


Also yes you can submit cards without entering the tournament.

[Supernerd]

So... What would the five of clubs do if played in this game? I don't quite get how it would be considered a valid card.

[DenizenShipper]

So... What would the five of clubs do if played in this game? I don't quite get how it would be considered a valid card.

It would have no effect (other than to pretty much reduce the starting hand size or make a draw useless). It was put on the list to make sure we understood how outrageous this whole shebang is supposed to be.

Speaking of which, it's been implied that cards can be kept. Do we start with any?

[Demonsul]

I will join on the condition that all my games be hilarious and nonserious.

So yeah, basically, I am joining this thing.

[DenizenShipper]

I will join on the condition that all my games be hilarious and nonserious.

The only way to be sure of that would be to personally oversee the addition of a 120-card smuppet series.

[TruthHurts22]

I'll join, but I'm a bit confused on how a tournament will play out. Does it work like any other card game? >>

[Varkarrus]

@DenizenShipper: I forgot to say how many cards you start with

@TruthHurts: Yeah, it will play out like any other card game.

[Siranae]

I'd like to join this game! I'll have some cards up soon.

[Deceptive]

I'm in. Time to make some cards.

[Potato Panic]

I'm going to spectate on this one because I am terrible at card games but quick quick loophole question cause I might end up throwing in a few cards:
Do the instructions on the card have to be legible/in English/not encrypted?


...

:3

[Varkarrus]

that's a good rule. I'll add it.

[Supernerd]

Is there a limit to how many cards we can make? I can make a dangerous amount of wonderful awful cards in a short amount of time.

[Varkarrus]

Because you're making me think about it, I'll arbitrarily say 25 max for now. As I get more cards, I'll raise the limit.

[Ross_Varn]

I'm in. 1000 BWC has always been a significant interest on my end of the weird games research.

Remember, though! A good bit of the fun of BWC is the blank response- the ability to draw up a card on the spot to respond to an action taken against you. Keep a good number of blank cards in the shuffle.

[Palamedes]

I will...

try this. Sure. Madness, here I come.

[Kaynato]

This is awesome. I will join and use mouse-drawn cards maybe.
