COLORS WORLD CUP, GAME 1: PASS IT ON!



Welcome to the first round of the Colors World Cup! Today's event is about the fundamentals. If you want to score a goal, you're going to have to be ready to pass to your teammates, of course...and this being a TCG, of course we ought to practice passing cards instead of balls, right?



This event works similarly - but not identically - to our regular Acrostic Trading Post game. You will be trading cards that fit certain parameters to spell out a word with your teammates!

How it works:
- Each team has its own unique five-letter word to spell.
- You will need a trade for each letter, and each trade must be with a different team member: if Bob trades Aerith for his first letter, then he can't trade her again for any of the others. He'll have to move on to someone new.
- To count a trade for a certain letter, one of the cards must start with the letter you're trying to earn: if you trade asobot15 for cain03, that trade could count for either an A or a C!
- It has to be a card that makes your letter; unlike Acrostics, player names do not count as letters in this game.

But it's a little more complicated than that: while either card can be your letter, the card you trade away (whether it's used as your letter or not) must fall within a certain number range, depending on your position on your team:

Goalkeeper: 1-5
Defender: 6-10
Midfielder: 11-15
Striker: 16-20


Both team members must fulfill this condition for a trade to count in this game. If Bob is the goalkeeper and Aerith is a defender, Bob could trade asobot04 and Aerith could trade cain09 for their A, or for their C (or each could use it for a different letter) - but Aerith can't trade cain03, for example!

Each successful pass (trade) will earn you two random cards; completing all five to finish the word will get you a goal for your team and a random crayon! Remember, you must give me your team name to get that goal!


Here are the team words:
Akai: RULES
Mikan: GOALS
Kou: FIELD
Midorin: TEAMS
Aoi: KICKS
Murasaki: BALLS
Tobi: CHEER
Gin: MATCH
Shirocchi: SCORE
Kurocchi: SPORT

(The list of words has been assigned to teams via randomizer, and very uncommon letters have been deliberately avoided. It's as even as I can feasibly make it. o/ )
