Challenge Deadline and Reminders

nepenthee: (naminé [kingdom hearts])
[personal profile] nepenthee posting in [community profile] makeashrine

Hi everyone,

With little more than a week remaining until event end, here are some clarifications and reminders.


1. Deadline

A minor extension: The deadline is the end of Sunday, 1 February (originally 31 January). I was in such a rush to get the event up last year that I failed to take weekdays into account. As the original deadline falls on a Saturday, I'd rather everyone has the full weekend to race to the finish line.

To make the deadline, shrines have to be submitted by the end of Sunday in whatever timezone you live.


2. Shrine qualification

In light of a few instances of confusion, I'd like to repeat that this event is about shrines in the sense of standalone fansites. Their quality as distinct websites is largely defined by their content and structure, next to their presentation (e.g. layout, name).

The term "shrine" has in more recent times been used by other communities for different creations, namely for subpages or subsections on so-called personal sites that are not conceived as separate websites. As stated on the event site, "shrines" in that sense of the word do not qualify as shrines for this challenge. For more information on this, see the About page and the linked shrine directories for examples.

That said, a site's URL is not relevant for its qualification as a standalone website. You don't need a separate domain or subdomain for your shrine; something like domain.com/subject is perfectly fine!


3. Submitting your shrine

Please reread the submission guidelines to make sure you don't forget anything, especially the link to this event and a 200x40 button of your shrine.


4. Shrine reveal

The full list of finished shrines shall be up on the site and in an announcement post as soon as possible after event end, at the latest a week after.

You are welcome to make a separate post to share your shrine and invite comments and feedback anytime, even before the deadline if you finish earlier! Please tag the post with #event: ghost of you and #plug.


I wish you all lots of energy, time and inspiration for this final stretch! :D Do reply to the last checkpoint post if you have any questions or need help.

Swap Station 262

[personal profile] admiral posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


Hey! You over there! Can you help me practice my shooting? If you do, I'll give you some meat!

Oh, you don't want any meat? You prefer cards? Who would choose cards over meat?

That's okay, we can still help each other! You just throw some of your cards for my target practice, and I'll swap them out with new ones when I'm done. Everybody wins! And then we can all eat some meat together.

Rules:
- You can play up to four cards and one crayon per weekly round. You'll lose these cards & crayons.
- Ochette will replace the cards with other cards of the same deck but with a different number.
- Ochette will replace your crayon with another of a different color.
- Please list the card names and crayon color so I can swap them easily.
- There's no special criteria that'll decide the replacements. Everything's going to be randomized. You're only guaranteed to not get the same exact things in return.
- If you have a reward coupon that guarantees you more cards from answering a round, you can use it to get more plays.

This round ends on Friday, January 30th is closed.

Puzzle Chains 401 - Special Round

admiral: gwendolyn → odin sphere (Default)
[personal profile] admiral posting in [community profile] colors_tcg

Kotomi is the smartest student at Hikarizaka Highschool, and one of the smartest in Japan, but she has a difficult time making smalltalk and opening up to new people. Reading is her usual hobby, but she won't say no to Rubik's cubes or a game of chess. What better way to make some new friends than to work together on a challenging jigsaw puzzle! Though these ones aren't quite the 10,000 piece puzzles you hang up on your wall.

Colorseum 73-4

[personal profile] nidoking posting in [community profile] colors_tcg



Last week's results:

Eito Aotsuki [12] - [11] Riddle Rosehearts
Phainon [18] - [5] Nice
Jacinthe [12] - [11] Gold Ship
Hikaru Indou [9] - [14] Reze

---------------------------------

Good day, Colors players. My name is Elizabeth. I am here to host the most amazing battle tournament in existence - the Colorseum!
Don't worry, no one will get hurt, at least as long as I don't want them to... The battles will not be decided by strength or strategy, but rather by the ability to win the crowd's hearts! And the judges... will be you!

Want more details? My pleasure!
- Each 'round' will consist of 5 'sub-rounds', posted weekly. They will be First Round A, First Round B, Quarterfinals, Semifinals and the Final!
- Each round will have a theme - they work in a similar way to the Scrapbook things you use here.
- Each round will have 16 characters from various series fighting in one-on-one battles, in a form of a knockout tournament.
- You decide who will advance to the next round by casting your votes.
- The votes are unscreened, and every player participating will get the same prizes, regardless of the final results! That means you can always vote for the characters YOU like the most!
- Feel free to try to convince other players to vote for your favourites! Bribery, threats - anything goes! Just be civil about that.
- I will always vote last, just before closing the round. If two characters are tied after that, the one with the higher seed advances to the next round.

Now, let's see today's battles!
Enter the arena )


This round will close on 31st January, Central European time!

Twenty Questions 079

misheard: (Default)
[personal profile] misheard posting in [community profile] colors_tcg
LAST WEEK'S DECK: nickel - Matt Engarde, Ace Attorney series



John and Sherlock are chasing down a criminal for one of the latest cases that Sherlock has taken on, and they would like your help, dear Colors player! Hidden in one of the Colors decks is a clue that will eventually lead the detective duo to our culprit, and if everyone puts their brains together, ask questions and share information, there's no way they won't be able to find that missing clue! Can you help them, Colors players? John will give you some cards for your trouble!


GAMEPLAY AND RULES
☆ There will be 2 parts to this game - asking questions and guessing a deck!
☆ Players are able to ask questions on this post to narrow down the identity of the deck selected for the round.
☆ While the name of the game is twenty questions, you can absolutely ask more than twenty questions total :P
☆ You can ask multiple questions, but please ensure that at least three people have asked questions OR 24 hours have passed in between your questions! Please limit yourself to two questions a day per person and no more than five questions a week. Please wait for the reset comment before posting more questions if you have maxed out your limits!
☆ Questions should be yes/no only, as far as possible! In the event that a question is valid but does not apply to the deck (EX. "Is this character male?" for a character with no gender), the question will still count. Using mod discretion, the question will sometimes be answered with "sort of", "neither", etc.
☆ EXAMPLE QUESTIONS: "Is the deck name a verb?" "Is the deck Special?" "Does it feature a human character?" "Does the deck name have an odd number of letters?" "Does the character in the deck have glasses?"
☆ If you are confident that you have picked out the correct deck, you may post a guess to the GUESSES toplevel, which will always be the first comment on each weekly post!
☆ Players are limited to two guesses per week. You can guess the same as someone else, if you think they are correct. This is to prevent people from blindly and magically guessing a deck before we've even gotten off the ground!
☆ Submit your guesses using the following code:


☆ Each deck will get two weeks (1 biweekly round) for guesses - although if the deck is guessed early, a new round will go up with a new card on Fridays!

♪ I will be responding to questions and passing out rewards once a day. Guesses will be responded to at the end of the round/before the next round goes up to make it fair for everyone!

PRIZES
You will receive:
3 random cards for every valid question posted and answered
3 random cards for an incorrect guess attempt
5 random character cards + 2 random special cards if you managed to guess the correct deck!
☆ A bonus of 2 random crayons if you happen to be the first person to guess the correct deck!

This round will reset on January 30th and end on February 6th. Closed!

Riku's Favors 159

misheard: (Default)
[personal profile] misheard posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


If you're a Mass Deck collector, you've probably experienced the moment when you've mastered a deck and then you get cards from that same deck while there are still several of the same series still unmastered. And even if you're not massdecking a series you might still find yourself wanting a different character from the same series.

Well, Riku is traveling multiple worlds in search of his best friend, Sora. While he's traveling he's decided to take requests from Colors Players. That is, he's willing to take your cards and change them into cards you need.



How does this work
★ Turn in cards from a deck to receive cards from another of the same series (for ex. chivalry -> trace, both Fate/Stay Night). All decks must be under the same name (so Fate/Stay Night is different from Fate/Grand Order).
★ Scrapbooks do not count as a series for this game. However, two cards from the same scrapbook may be exchanged for a choice card from that scrapbook.
★ You can use cards to swap choice cards of the same deck, but not randoms, as Swap Station is meant for that.
★ You can submit up to five trades per week.
★ Submitting five trades will get you two random crayons on top of the swaps.

Rates
👑 1 character card for 1 random character card from a deck of your choice from the same series
👑 2 character cards for 1 character choice card from the same series
👑 1 special card for 1 random special card from a deck of your choice from the same series
👑 2 special cards for 1 special choice card from the same series

★ For the two cards, the cards submitted do not need to be from the same deck, but they do need to be from the same series, naturally.
★ If you're taking choice cards, you can log them right away. In case of randoms and crayons you'll have to wait on me to do my rounds.

Please use this form:



Remember to include card images.

This round ends January 29th at 11:59 pm EST! Closed!

Fannish webpage templates

ceu: (mulan)
[personal profile] ceu posting in [community profile] smallweb
I made a template for media/fic recs (depending on what you're looking for) that allows users to select if filters are inclusive or exclusive, and filters automatically for results. It uses Javascript, so if you want to do advanced customizations you might need a little bit of familiarity there. But you don't have to if your needs are pretty similar to the default settings, and I explain (pretty thoroughly, I like to think) how to use the code in the documentation: https://fan.kingdra.net/recs/

Installation is done directly through the live previews, and also available on Github: https://github.com/aroceu/recs-template

Image preview:



This code is usable on Neocities, Nekoweb, and anything similar!

A while back, I also wrote up CSS to make fics downloaded from AO3 as HTML files look prettier. If anyone is importing their fics from AO3 to Neocities/Nekoweb/wherever as HTML files and want to make them look nicer than the default styling, you might be interested: https://fan.kingdra.net/ao3css/

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions, run into any bugs, whatever! ♥

Silly Blanks 303

admiral: gwendolyn → odin sphere (Default)
[personal profile] admiral posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


Last week's story: "♫~You are the VERBing queen, young and ADJECTIVE, only seventeen~♫"

Your gracious host, Trucy, runs a weekly magic show. To get the audience pumped up before the show, Trucy begins with a simple trick - a short mad libs story, a bit of magic, a couple of cards, and voila: free stuff! You might also be entertained, but no guarantees.

Trucy needs help deciding what her story will be about; however, it's funnier if the audience doesn't know until afterward, so you'll just have to submit your cards and see what happens at the end of the round. Help her fill out the major details by submitting deck names to fill in the blanks of her story idea. To thank you for your help, if you put the right cards into Trucy's magic panties, they'll magically turn into new cards!

THIS WEEK'S REQUIREMENTS!

Card 1
• Basic: Deck name is an ADJECTIVE
• Bonus: wearing jewelry
Card 2
• Basic: Deck name is a VERB
• Bonus: blue card


You'll lose the cards you turn in, but for each basic requirement you fulfill you will receive 4 random cards. Fulfilling the bonus as well will net you 1 random card each, for a possible total reward of 10 random cards!

Good luck! This round will close on Thursday, January 29th is closed!

Mika's Quilting 205

camilovesyou: (marianne)
[personal profile] camilovesyou posting in [community profile] colors_tcg

The solution for the previous round can be seen here (credit Mini).


Mika is a member of Yumenosaki's handicraft club that's currently trying to get into quilting. The thing is...Oshi-san never taught him anything about it, so he's gonna need some extra help. Maybe he'll give you some cards if you give him a hand?

Quilting is a logic-based, color-placement puzzle based off of the popular Sudoku using colors instead of numbers! The rules are simple: each 3x3 box, row, and column contains one of each color. Additionally, although you are filling in colors, each color can also be associated with a number.

If you desire, you can also solve this online and post a screenshot to a completed puzzle. Your screenshot must include the timer to be valid.

Red
1
Green
4
Brown
7
Orange
2
Blue
5
Gray
8
Yellow
3
Purple
6
Black
9


(and yes, if you rather just write the numbers down instead of colors, that's fine too - but make sure no squares are left blank!)
(REMINDER: Unless it is a special round, only post ONE solution, even if there are multiple. You get no extra rewards for posting additional solutions.)


textless version

Prizes
Entire puzzle correct - 12 random cards
1-5 squares incorrect - 8 random cards
5-15 squares incorrect - 6 random cards
16+ squares incorrect - Nothing

Come one, come all, to the Kame Game Shop! We've got some new stock in today of some of those booster packs that everyone is talking about! Inside each booster is 8 cards, with at least 1 holographic... I guess you guys call them special cards.

AVAILABLE PACKS: Red, Yellow, Green, Gray

Sometimes we get in other packs in, so stock might change every week... get them while they're still available!

Kotori is the designer for µ's, and she works hard to make great costumes for each and every performance. But sometimes costumes she makes for fun get mixed in with costumes she makes for µ's. Can you figure out who is actually supposed to wear these?
