Thursday 13 #8: Shattered Reflections of CCGs
March 26, 2008
Those of us who love the VS System come from a myriad of backgrounds, many rooted to varying degrees in geekiness. We all have our interests, we all have our specialties, and for many of us, VS is not our first CCG. The question is, just how many ARE you aware of?
The following message mysteriously appeared in my inbox. No return email address, no subject header, just…
“I’ve been watching you. You scurry from topic to topic, dangling on the precipice of mediocrity at every turn… Is there no hope for you and your cadre of contemptible, cud-chewing card-floppers? Can you be inspired to attain higher levels of lucidity, or are you doomed to forever dwell in the oubliette of your ignorance?
Clearly, something must be done if you’re ever to climb from the depths of your lackluster intellect… thus, I issue unto you this challenge. A teaser if you will, a taste of things to come, the foreshadowing of a more epic cerebral quest.
I send with this missive a shattered reflection; 13 pieces from the childlike games that occupy your days. Identify its components, and the prize shall be yours. Fail, or worse yet, do not attempt to probe the depths of this mystery, and you will receive nought but the scorn and pity you so dearly deserve…
- The Puzzler ”
Attached was this image…
Um… little help?
Clearly this “Puzzler” dude wants us to identify all thirteen fragments of this thing…. and if we can pull it off… prizes!
| Here’s the real deal:Your task for this, yes, Thursday Thirteen contest, is to identy all 13 trading card games that make up the above image.
- You’ll receive 1 pt for each game correctly identified. All entries can be either PM’d to me at VSRealms or emailed directly to gdaybloke (at) cogeco.ca, and must be received by Noon EST, Wednesday April 2nd. First prize (most points): Second prize: If all thirteen CCG’s are correctly identified by the winner, one of those rares will be a Mobilize. * All prizes for this week’s Thursday Thirteen contest are provided by the mysterious individual, “The Puzzler”… and if this is indeed a teaser, it just makes me wonder what he or she has in the works…* |
Very kewl idea. Best of luck to all who enter. Happy T13!
Oh my Great post but it is beyond me
I’d love to give it a go, but the only cards I ever traded were baseball players in my youth! However, if I were to show this to my 18 year old son, I’d bet he’d have much better luck!
Hope you get all the answers!
Happy TT! and thanks for visiting!
OMG Can I bring my friend Rian? Otherwise, I have no clue… I’ll go with “C”. When in doubt, that’s what the odds makers say to do
Deanna, as much as I love you, I cannot take sides in this quest. I am a neutral observer, busting a gut from the text of the letter!
Damn, these guys are GOOD.
What a cool idea for a TT! Unfortunatley, I don’t recognize a single thing here… not one itsy bitsy bit. LOL Not my universe, though it does look fun. Can’t wait to see who wins. Thanks for stopping by my place and Happy TTing!
Boy… I think that Rian knows everything so, since I know NOTHING, I’ll just pretend and say what he said!
How fun - so deliciously fun!
Happy TT!
Cleary slot #3 is…something. Perhaps Winx Club related. Maybe a Flinstones chewables CCG smidge.
Rian, you’re more than welcome to compete if you think you’re up to it
[...] Get those entries in for the contest! It closes Thursday, and no-one’s been able to pin down all thirteen yet… [...]
[...] here for the T13 crowd, today’s Thursday Thirteen is the solution to last week’s Shattered Reflections [...]
