Crosswords 37

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Crosswords!

This is a reboot of the original Crosswords game with a new twist. Now, instead of answering questions, you'll be supplying cards to fill in the Crosswords themselves! The following example image demonstrates how you'll be playing the game:



Using cards from your own trade pile you will fill in one of the two following crosswords. You may play either Option 1 or Option 2; you may not play both. You will lose the cards you use, but will receive new cards in return. You must match the number of open spaces using the deckname of the card you provide (not including the card number). The overlap must, of course, be the same letter.

Even / Odd Matching: At the end of the round, I will roll a D20 to determine if the prize for the round is "Even" or "Odd". The numbers on cards donated by players will determine the winners of this. In the example round, the two cards are 19 and 19; in total, they are 38 which is an even number. At the end of the round, if I roll an even number, this example player would gain the Even / Odd match prize. This is just a little added bonus.

For the current round, your two options are as follows! You may use two cards in Option 1 for a smaller prize or you can try fitting in four cards in Option 2 for a bigger prize! You can either fill out the image or type out your contributions and how they fit, but please link to the card images you're using!

Option 1: Two 5-letter Cards.

Option 2: Two 7-letter Cards, One 6-letter Card, One 5-letter Card.

Important: You may not use a combination of cards someone else has used!

- Prizes -
Option #1: Lose 2 used cards, Gain +4 Random Cards.
Option #2: Lose 4 used cards, Gain +8 Random Cards.
Even/Odd Match: Gain +1 Crayon.

This round will end on Thursday, May 10th!

This is a new variant of the game, so if you're confused please feel free to ask your questions by replying to this comment!

This is pretty hard. But fun!

Will we still get rewards for not completing the entire crosswords -- say turning in 3 out of 4 cards for the second one?

[tales-fan.livejournal.com]

I think I prefer the previous crossword to this one...

+ = option 1 (http://i1171.photobucket.com/albums/r546/propanoll/Crosswords37Opt1.png)

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Depending on how well/poorly it's received, we could always go back! This version could be temporary as a special round or it could be permanent. We'll see!

[nugeyo.livejournal.com]

/also gives up on the second one sob |D";;

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

It's a challenge!

[chromoplasted.livejournal.com]

Kneel (down) and Rebel (across), option 1!

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

You got it!

[stopping.livejournal.com]

...Skie, this is awesome o__o

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Woohoo! Four cards, perfect!

[love-michiyuki.livejournal.com]

Whoo~ way harder than the other crosswords, but also way more rewarding when you finally get it done :D





I don't quite understand that bonus you were talking about, but I really look forward to the next round.
Great idea love ♥

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Precisely. The extra work pays off in cards!



For your cards: 09+03+20+11=43, so if the bonus when the round closes is for odd cards, you'll net yourself a crayon too!

[nidoking]

Awesome idea. Though it's stil sad that the old Crosswords died.

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Who knows; the old crossword could rise from the dead, maybe!

[baredick.livejournal.com]

i loveeeee this!!

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

And it loves you!

[arakumo.livejournal.com]

oh no old crosswords donde estas...

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

The old crosswords is probably on a beach sipping on a margarita or something. Maybe it'll come back from vacation soon?

[wanderlast]

However long this took me, I do agree that it's rather rewarding when you finish! I enjoyed it ♥

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Especially rewarding when you see this!:

[nyxnoxbox.livejournal.com]

I-I can't believe I was able to fill out an option 2 card with my puny trade pile. xD This was fun~

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Players new and old, knowledgeable or not can all participate in this! Glad you enjoyed it!:

[desuyo.livejournal.com]

Option2 (odd): trainer14, prodigy19, natsuo19, wings19

[snackoos.livejournal.com]

thanks so much for this new game! I hope we can keep this. Had a lot of fun and it was challenging! The fact that there are two options is brilliant as well to give an easier alternative for players who might not enjoy this type of game.

Re: Crosswords 37

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Precisely! Easy mode or Hard mode, depending on the dedication or interest from the players themselves. But in the end, you get back rewards based on the effort you put in!

Edit: Pretend you didn't see another reward block here.

[nazonano.livejournal.com]

...yeah I take back thinking you were crazy, Skie. This is actually quite fun. ;w; /rolls away

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

B- But I like being crazy. Give me my crazy title back! D:

option #2 :

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

So that card goes there, that one there, this one... and then I carry the two, then divide by zero-- Got it! All green, good job!

[soporil.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed it, so I'll be looking forward to any future rounds like this! I especially like that we can pick the difficulty, and the challenge is worth it. I had fun trying to figure out what I could fit, anyway, so thanks, Skie! uwu

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed it, and good job making them fit in! Thanks for the feedback as well! :)

[moon-wolfwriter.livejournal.com]

perfect09, rebirth11, reiki04, rising20

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Fantastic, and with card-color coordination as well; I like it! Great job!

[indigotcg.livejournal.com]

and for option 1!

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Uh-oh; these two don't fit together! The fourth letter of one card and the second letter of the other card have to overlap.

Feel free to give it another shot anytime in the next seven days (because I'm only just now giving out rewards) if you'd like!

[nerrin.livejournal.com]

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

Fantastic, you got it!

[kelliedee.livejournal.com]

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

You got it! Awesome job!

[dearmykeysx.livejournal.com]

Wow, this was challenging but I can't say I hated it since it was pretty fun and I feel super accomplished being able to fill up Option #2~ xD so hopefully I did this right!


Cards Used:

revenge04, meister15, trance20, onion04 [43]

[perarduaadast.livejournal.com]

You got it, right on! Good job using a really strange card (Nishi) and making it fit!

[synplistic.livejournal.com]
