GRAND OPENING

[nakama_mod]

NAKAMA IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!

We also have 32 official members to start the New Year! Great job everyone, and Happy, happy New Year!

To commemorate this beautiful day, everyone can get 2 choice cards with the numbers 02 and 13. It applies to single/special cards and can be from the same deck!

As for Christmas wishes, these will only be applicable for the month of January:
+ You can also get one choice puzzle card here! Just make sure to list it.
+ For the first round of all the games this month, you get two extra cards for playing them. For games where you can comment more than once, the first comment gets the two extra cards.
+ You can have two extra Release slots for the month of January! It can be any card, though it still follows the rules of one card per deck only.
+ You can get two extra cards for maxing out Deck Donations this month.
+ Everyone gets +1 deck donation slot this month! The max is still 3 decks, but you can have the choice of donating a 4th deck if you want.

All services are now open! Go wild, everyone. All Prejoin games EXCEPT Treasure Hunt are now closed. Treasure Hunt and Christmas Event are still open until January 5. Thank you for participating~

Also asking for suggestions: Team games, got any ideas of what kind of team game you'd want to see next month? You can get one choice card (any card) for your suggestion.

Thank you everyone, and I hope you enjoy yourselves! The first game will be coming up soon.

...I totally did not think about this before but do deckmakers still get the extra deck donation slot? /headtilt

[panchromatism]

... Actually yes, they do lol. So that's an extra slot for deckmakers.

Re: QUESTIONS & ERROR REPORT

[netbug009]

If you got the +2 coupon for treasure hunt, does that mean you have 6 deck release slots this month? 8D

Re: QUESTIONS & ERROR REPORT

[nakama_mod]

lmao yeeep, that's what it means. Have fun with the donations!

Re: QUESTIONS & ERROR REPORT

[netbug009]

THAT IS PERFECT I HAD 6 CHARACTERS IN A GROUP I WANTED TO COLLECT AND I WAS SO BUMMED I'D HAVE TO WAIT TILL FEBUARY TO SUBMIT THE LAST ONE AND FKGJNDFHGFDHBG

Re: QUESTIONS & ERROR REPORT

[orophias]

can these choice cards be from the january releases?

Re: QUESTIONS & ERROR REPORT

[nakama_mod]

You'd have to wait until the actual release for it, but yes it should be fine.

[cureelliott]

Yay this is so exciting! I can't wait to use all the services.

For team games, I really like the game where you master a deck as a group? Like you a pick a deck and we all donate cards to it. That's fun!

Choice cards: jump02, guardian13. starish13. phantom14.

[instrumentality]

Yaaay! I'm so excited to see the game open! c:

I was going to go with Elliott's suggestion, but maybe we could have teams... all color in a square of a picture? Like, when you break an image into squares and then have one person fill in a square to re-make it. Or everyone can submit a question and we can make a ~quiz~ for the other team. I DON'T KNOW MAN but I will say, Team Games sound fantastic!

I'll be back for my cards later!

Grabbing my cards; Fifth Child 02, 13, and 08, and Fireworks 09!

[luciferous]

Hooray, congrats Nakama! ♥ Now to go pounce on all those services--

For team games: I also like the group deck mastery idea, but I think I prefer the variation where you make a themed deck rather than one that actually exists. Like, you say "donate characters with blond hair" and people give cards with blond characters on them until you have a "deck" of 15 cards from different decks. That one's easier for people who don't have a lot of cards yet, and it's interesting to see the results when you're done.

Choice cards: cleaver13, traps02, conflict11, castor12

[chromoplasted]

Yay! This is gonna be so much fun :D

Taking conflict07 for my puzzle card, and king02/kurikara13 for my other two :)

As for team games... well, the ones were everyone has to donate cards to hit a certain number/target are fun! Or where you have to donate a card starting with the last letter of the card before it, etc. Games where each person contributes to a story in consecutive comments could work, too... I'm not too good at this, orz. Taking x-gloves05!

[suguro]

I'm so excited!
taking shirogamon02 and pisces13! I'll take starish15 as my puzzle~

for group games... um, I'm not really sure what you mean, but what about co-writing a paragraph? the mod writes a line, then each player writes one following line each to make the story more crazy or interesting and players can participate several times? idk I think this might be fun. Taking freelance08 (:

[ex_painter182]

Wooohooo! Happy New Year, Nakama! ♥ Gonna hit them services soon. \o/

Hm team games huh~ How about we split players into teams (maybe 3 or 4 teams) and set an objective such as the team with the highest amount of trades gets (insert prize here), sort of like a sports event except with cards. Of course we don't have to just use trades as a measuring factor, just an example! :3

My choice cards will be~ agility02, statice13, starish13 and raven06!

[netbug009]

Hooray! Looks like I have a service to go run. :D

navigator02, changeling15, oldfriends07 Yay!

Team games sound awesome! I'm seconding Painter's idea. Trading is especially hard when a TCG is first starting, so that'd be both fun and encourage trading. :D (utility08)

[sleipnir]

Sweet. Also thanks for such fun prejoin games and the christmas event, it really got me like the TCG quite a bit.

Taking shirogamon02, cyclops13, conflict01.

As for group games... I really love the idea of completing a deck or two where everyone can donate two cards weekly, and if we manage to complete a deck, we are awarded with a special prize. If we complete two, all the members that contributed get an even better reward? And if none of the decks are completed, no one gets anything aside from the reward they'd get normally? Maybe also a monthly game, similar to quiz games? A mod would post a lot of questions and each person can answer only one of them. If we get to answer all of them before the deadline, we'd be rewarded with a small bonus? Though I am not sure if it would be such a good idea considering anyone could easily google the questions... Maybe a game similar to "Guess What" but instead only characters would be allowed? I think it might be fun. Taking shirogamon04.

[nightomare]

Yay for grand opening! ♥
Taking shirogamon02/13 as my choice cards. C:

As for team games, I like Elliott's idea! Mastering a deck as a group is a pretty standard but fun game to participate in.

Taking shirogamon06 for answering. As for puzzle, I'm taking oldfriends01!

[radria]

Lots of great ideas here!

I'd love an event like the Treasure Hunt where players can help gift cards or currency (like a Secret Santa type event) or where we all suggest future decks we'd like to see (puzzles or special decks)?

Picking up conflict04 for my choice card and telepathy02, azarath13 so thank you very much! (and because I forgot the extra puzzle card, I'm picking up conflict10, thanks again!

[indiwyn]

Oooh, excited! Taking penalty02, miko13, and oldfriends04!

As for team games, I'd love to divide into teams we'd name ourselves with forums/subcomms where we'd get to communicate and know our teammates. We'd get points based on participation around the site (donations, games, etc) and then at the end of the month/quarter/whatever we could do one big team event - maybe a scavenger hunt, where we'd donate pictures and find certain kinds of information in a list, first one to finish wins? Hope that's specific enough for what you're looking for, taking miko03!

[aori]

Team games, huh? This is my first tcg, so I have no clue what to suggest. But learning the game is also part of it, right? ♥

Taking strawhat13, swords02, starish02!

[omokage]

HUZZAH! HUZZAH! and one more HUZZAH! for opening!
I have no idea what to suggest regarding team games because I don't think I understand the concept, that is applied to a tcg not in general XD but I'll go along with whatever you decide~

Choice cards: atlantean02, whelmed13 and oldfriends02

[admiral]

Taking changeling04, cybernetic12, oldfriends16, thank you!

ah I'm bad at thinking up team games, but I do like everyone else's suggestions. :3

[atachikoma]

I like a lot Marge's idea. Besides that, what about singing and uploading parts of a song in order? i.e. Pokemon's first opening theme. Who knows, Nakama may even have a hymn some day! If it's too bold, maybe drawing the same way, each one expanding a little more the same general idea? Even better, creating a picture book; each member could draw a page, telling a story (sort of like Marge's idea, I realize).

Taking anaru02, jintan02, oldfriends14, database10~

[headset]

I like a lot of the ideas here, especially ones where we're all coming together to create something. I always thought three word stories on forums were pretty fun; where each comment from a person consists of three words -- and then at the end, we'd put it all together and see what we've created. Starting off with deck building or something at first works for me too, and I'd be down with putting together one based on a theme rather than a single deck! It'd be a lot easier to do, anyway. \o/

choice cards: scarves02, scarves13, fireworks01, scarves08! ♥

[starseeker]

I'm afraid I'm not going to say anything new here, but if you need my input, then I really do love the collecting a deck idea! Although the picture book one sounds very fun to me, too, although I'd only be able to contribute through paint, haha. We could also try making a crack-y group collage of sorts, with a scenery picture being provided first, and everybody putting different characters on top of it to fit it somehow? Sorry if that makes zero sense, lol.

Choice cards: conflict08, enforcer02, scarves13, enforcer06, thank you!

[wanderlast]

I really do like the idea of putting a deck together! Not necessarily mastering a full deck, but putting together a deck of 15/25 cards that fit a certain criteria--like blue bordered cards, fe/male characters, characters that wear certain types of clothing, decks that start with the same letter, or other kinds! Also, a team drawing game may be fun; something like each person draws one part of an image. Like, if the drawing was an animal, one person would draw a head, another person would draw the upper body, another the lower body, and another the tail, and then at the end the animal would be put together to see what was created. I don't really have anything new to add other than those, lmfao.

I'll be taking anaru02, menma13, menma15, and party08, thank you very much!

[orophias]

Woooh! I'll be taking beefcake02, killjoy13 party08 and party02

As for team decks I think we should have a mass deck collecting game of special decks that are only available for that month? That would kind of be hard to log though.

[yokatta]

For team games I like Relle's idea of collecting a deck as a group that fits a certain criteria and the theme changes every round. Alternative Marge's idea sounds pretty fun as well!

Choice cards: trismegistus02, messiah13, artemisia15, fireworks01
