| 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). |
BOO! WORD: BOO TRADES: B - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK O - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK O - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK ! - WILDCARD, link any trade here and receive a candy! | 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 10/19-10/26 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 4thth and it ends on the 7thth it's fine to use. However if you start a trade on the 6th and it ends on the 13th 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! | ||
FAQ: Previously asked questions & their answers:
Essentially if you could complete the same trade in several other trades then it's fine to use! So:
I trade WEST05 and LEGS07 for LEPI'S REGRET09 and XIII17
I could use the W and L & R and X. Or W and X & L and R. Since we could have done two different trades (West05 for Regret09 and Legs07 for XIII17).
CAN YOU MIX & MATCH PLAYERNAME & CARDNAME?
Yep! So if the word is DOG I can trade with Delitan and then trade Orange14 with Celi and Garden05 with Leena and it's all good!
SIGNATURES
Signatures count as a trade! They'll be the same as the player's name. (So if I trade my signature I can use an 'A' for AJ). They won't ever count for any of the numbered or odd/even challenges, though!
MULTIPLE TRADES WITH THE SAME PERSON
Say you trade with her twice times: Once for D (Delitan) [ulster07 for empress12] Once V (victim03) and Y (yosuga17).
You can use the D, V, and Y.
You can't reuse cards or player names but you CAN use multiple cards in a trade for letters. However, you can't use the first trade (the D for Delitan) as ALSO the U or E (for ulster or empress).
CARDS WITHIN THE SAME TRADE
If Trias trades LEGS02 for Delitan's HAUGHTY13 then this trade can be used for EITHER the H or L or D. You couldn't submit it for the H AND L or the L and D etc. . .
TIMEZONES
If your trade falls out of the time period due to timezones just let me know! Like "This was completed on X day in Y timezone". I'm not going to dock you for timezones, especially since colors is so global :)!

Currently gifts don't count for this game (giving or receiving) sorry!
