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.
MONTHLY PHRASE: WEEKLY WORD: (SUBMIT) ✎
THE QUICK BROWN FOX.

Only odd numbered cards count. If you're trading with a player the card you trade must ALSO trade an odd numbered card. (So to count for the monthly I need to trade legs05 with Celi. Not legs04, etc).

Please provide links of your trade. If you use a website logging system please link your log. However it is preferred that you have a link somewhere as opposed to email/website logs just because it makes it easier to check. Thank you!
only trades dated between 9/28-10/5 will count*
the exception is for the monthly task, where only trades dated between 9/28-10/26 will count
* the date completed. So if you start a trade on the 26th and it ends on the 29th it's fine to use. However if you start a trade on the 3rd and it ends on the 6th 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!

Oh, questions! If we're doing a multi-card trade, how does that work with the one letter per player/card rule? Is it one letter per trade no matter what, or is it just one time using the player as a letter? If we're trading two cards, can we use one card from the trade for the weekly and one for the monthly?

Can we use the same trade as part of both the weekly and monthly challenge, if it first the parameters of both, or do we need separate ones for that?

So for the monthly...

1. If I am counting cards, the card I count must be an odd number, but the card I don't count doesn't have to be?

So if I trade magnus04 for Thieves03 for my T, that counts?

2. If I'm trading with members, does it have to be the card I give up, or can it be either card (or both)?

So, if I do the magnus04 for thieves03 trade with Netbug for N, does it not count because I gave Netbug an even-numbered card, or can either card be odd?

Are you counting the dates as when the trade was posted or when it was confirmed? For example, if a trade offer was posted on the 26th and confirmed on the 29th (or alternatively, posted on the 3rd and confirmed on the 6th) would it count?

Sorry if you did explain this and I just missed it, but should the our trades be compiled of exclusively either card names or players, or can you combine a mixture of both into your submission?

Adding onto this, but by confirmed, do we mean the date the trade was fully completed, rather than the date the cards are decided on?

Mostly I'm wondering how this goes in terms of slot trades - where the cards get decided weeks in advance sometimes, but don't wind up changing hands until the release; do we work by the date the cards actually change hands? :|a

Concerning links to trades- What if we trade through our site/email/etcg? Should we just link to the logs in that case?

Hello! I have a question about signatures. Although all signature files start with the prefix sig_, only the player's name is actually displayed on the card. So if I trade someone my sig_arianne, would that count for S or A?
