the poet's acrostic trading post
The poet needs to buy words from you so that he can finish his poems! He'll give you a card for every letter you sell to him and a bonus card for every whole word you can provide. Basically, you need to trade to spell your words! The first letter of either the CARD or the PLAYER you trade with are the letters you use to spell your words. You will have a week to do so. Once a month there will be a longer phrase that you can work towards to submit for a special prize at the end of the month! The monthly phrase will also include some kind of extra parameter (player trades can only be with red/yellow level players, only even numbered cards, etc) For example if the word of the week is DESK. To get a 'D' I can trade with Delitan or I can trade the card defeated07. For trading cards you can either be the person trading the card AWAY or the person RECEIVING the card. For player trades though you MUST trade with someone else. So I can't use 'AJ' for the letter 'A'. You cannot reuse the same player/card in one week. If the word is "EYE" you need TWO different players or cards that start with 'E'. You may not reuse a trade/card from a weekly challenge to fulfill the monthly challenge.

only trades dated between 12/29-1/4 will count* the exception is for the monthly task, where only trades dated between 12/29-1/31 will count
* the date completed. So if you start a trade on the 19th and it ends on the 24th it's fine to use. However if you start a trade on the 21st and it ends on the 30th it would not count. This is mostly to prevent trades from hanging over too far into the next week, I know it might be a little rushed that way but remember even if you can't get the whole word you can still get partial credit for most of the word!

Welcome back, everyone!! Last week, Nanami learned the tragic history of Ayasaki Hayate of Hayate no Gotoku/Hayate the Combat Butler, who's seiyuu is Shiraishi Ryoko! Santa Claus, meanwhile, owes thanks to Shimura Tomoyuki for giving him voice. Due to the fact that I completely fudged the rules last week, anyone who named Hayate's seiyuu will be receiving three cards irrespective of whether they provided the other details. Oops. Sorry for anyone who was confused!

At any rate, though, thank you for helping Nanami out! But now she's stuck again. Can you help her identify this mysterious voice? It seems so familiar somehow...

( Read more... )

Is it just me, or does this girl seem embarrassed to have been overheard? I wonder what she was saying. Some sort of love confession, perhaps...? Tell Nanami this character's name, their seiyuu's name, and what series they're from for three random cards. And remember, I only require the original japanese voice!

NOTE: Feel free to just name one series this character has featured in, or just name the franchise in question. I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO PIN DOWN THE PRECISE SOURCE IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE....

This round will end 5th January 2014 now! This round is now closed!

The last week's answer was Vash the Stampede of Trigun.

What happened to Okabe & co? Maybe we will find out one day... Because now we shift over to another story, happening far away...

One rainy, gloomy day Kio was bored and looking for ways to pass the time so he went looking through the house and eventually found an old scrapbook he'd never seen before. Kio's curiosity was awoken and he opened it, only to find pictures. Pictures after pictures of Asemu and his friends back in high school and their mechanics lab... and all their guests and clients over the years. This is a chronicle of those times.

( So, who was their next guest? )

This round ends on Sunday, January 5th, 18:00 Eastern European Time / GMT +2.
