Colors TCG 16th Anniversary - Day 02

[admiral]

What's up, Colors TCG!! As our 16th anniversary here kicks off, let's start by looking back...

Back at how you discovered Colors, of course! Tell us a little about how you ventured into the world of online TCGs and how you discovered Colors TCG in particular. Did someone trick invite you into joining the game? How long have you been playing, and is there anything that happened before you joined you wish you hadn't missed?

For commenting with your answer, you may take sweet1602 and 3 choice character cards, but they must all be different colors.



Like the other anniversary posts, this game will close on July 1st at noon GMT!

I think I was tangentially aware of Colors for a while before I joined - I knew Pie was in it, and I think I helped out a little with the Bungou to Alchemist decks Veth made? Briar hosted me when she was in Colors for two seconds. I joined in May 2021, right before an anniversary event to get me going with lots of cards. It'd have been fun to see the origins of stuff like cain03, but I'm pretty happy with when I joined!

Way back in college, circa 2008 or so, I was deep into a similar game on livejournal. I stopped playing after a while but I can't remember why. Anyway, I was reminiscing about it a couple of months ago and Amity looked me dead in the eye (metaphorically, over discord) and said "Billie Sue...........that still exists. I'm literally in it." And then I blinked and I'd suddenly made a whole website and jumped back in like I never stopped!

I actually was a part of colors years back and just kind of rejoined after being reminded of it on plurk. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT GOT ME TO JOIN AGAIN but i just sort of fell off the horse back then and i think got distracted by other things

but i am really enjoying myself now!! i know i just joined beforehand because my friends were doing it and it seemed fun

I found out about it from an LJ friend. I checked out Colors (and Twist Serve, a Prince of Tennis-themed TCG she was also a member of) and it looked really interesting but I didn't join back then. I randomly recalled it a few years later, went to see if it was still around and instantly joined when I saw there were Saint Seiya decks. This was 13 years ago, joined February 2013!

found out from a neocities oomf!! mostly that there was a colour tcg tracking page, and then i got interested in the concept of card games ... didnt have a dreamwidth so i kinda just lurked until i joined dreamwidth and found gloomlee's neocities template for it (otherwise php scary to me LOL)

I joined with the neocities wave of new players in late 2022! I had seen Koinuko's collecting page on my feed and had an extreme flashback to seeing TCGs back in LJ. (I didn't understand how they worked at the time lol.) I knew I was in danger HAHAHA. I contemplated joining for an entire week before I bit the bullet. What finally convinced me: seeing there were Collar x Malice decks. (points to icon) I love that awful cyber seaweed guy.

I discovered Colors by browsing websites on Neocities~ I forget who I ended up putting down a referral, but I adored their site and curiosity had me following the link to Colors on Dreamwidth. I've been playing for a little over a year--I remember the 15th anniversary started not long after I joined (but I did take a hiatus for the last six months lol)--and I love it!! I keep missing the Halloween events, but THIS YEAR FOR SURE!!

Oh boy, I think I randomly discovered the automatic TCG, Trading Base, and that led me to search for other TCGs. I think I found Colors from a webring or maybe a wiki? I honestly don't remember.
