[b]Admiral_Sta[s]h[/s]lfos19[/b] – It's a bit hard to understand, and if it was released, like most of the other cards, it would be too complicated and specific to be actually used. But I love the concept and how name and effect build an actual entity.

Now do you see the bloody h?

-Awaits for next Test- I'll be honest, I forgot about this for a few days xD

I like how you completely avoided answering my question. Very well then. *copies and posts in a message*

Also, the message pertained to the topic (I was bumping it so it would be seen). Thus, it is technically not considered spam. If I posted multiple times, then it would have. But I only did it once. So calm down. [/quote]
We'll deal with that via PM, see you and good bye.

Can't believe I made it through!. I was just a little confused though, did you like my card or was it just meh and barely able to get through?[/quote]
If you want, you can get a detailed review via PM.

Thought I'd give you a rep, since Asert negged you for some stupid reason[/quote]
Unpopular politics do that to people at times, I don't care for negative Reps, but thanks anyway

[quote]Also, if I had an h in my name I would've put it in myself [/quote]
Ups... *cough* which H *cough*

I have to take responsibility for that as well since I added it on the fly later on, next time I'll make sure to include everything in one post. Oh, and about that "next time": Will be delayed till tomorrow
I have prepared the text on my notebook when my PC was broken, and now I can't access my Laptop until tomorrow... so yeah, you'll have to patient till then. Sorry

[HeadshotMagnet]

I think i can wait...its not the worst thing ive ever done

[font="Lucida Sans Unicode"]*lame clapping of hands*
Thanks for turning me on again. I knew this Cave Johnson impersonation on my external hard drive would come in handy sooner or later. Living in a potato isn’t always easy you know. But I’m sure you’ll make this experience as well. Very, very sure. Also, let me say that I’m glad to see you all are still alive and in perfect shape... for testing. Aside from those who were fried in the last test, of course. Casualties in the name of science… it sounds so nice if you say it this way. Casualties… I like that word. Maybe I’ll file you all under “casualties”… once you’re dead.
But first, some testing. Remember those military androids I promised you’ll get to see? Well, this, for once, wasn’t a lie. They’re here, right around that corner. “With 65% more bullet, per bullet!”, he liked to say. Guess I’ll file him under casualties, too. Because he’s also dead. You know, like you in a few seconds.
Hope to see you at the other end of the test chamber. Or not.[/font]

[color="#FFA500"][b]Aperture Science Sentry Turret[/b][/color]
Level 8 | DARK
[Machine/Effect]
[i]When this card is selected as an attack target, destroy it at the end of Damage Step.
“Hello? Anybody there? I’m different…”[/i]
ATK/3000 DEF/0

[font="Lucida Sans Unicode"]You’ll also get this little something I’m just done implementing:[/font]

[color="#DDA0DD"]Aerial Faceplate[/color]
Normal Trap Card
[i]Return 1 face-up monster to its owner’s hand. If you activate this card during your turn, targeting a monster you control, you can Normal Summon 1 additional monster during this turn.[/i]

[u][b]Task:[/b][/u] Starting during your Standby Phase, create a [b]Monster Card[/b] (Effect, Synchro, Ritual, Fusion or Exceed) that allows you to [b]survive against 3 Turrets until your next Standby Phase[/b] (you only have 100 Life Points left). In [b]addition[/b] to your monster, [b]you control the above face-down Trap[/b]. Make use of it, but [b]surprise[/b] me a little If necessary, you can include other conditions or already existing cards, but this will most likely affect your (imaginary, because I don't have something like that) score. Negatively.
Describe your actions in short words if it’s not totally obvious.

All cards have to be sent via PM.
In this round, the worst 3 - 4 contestants will take the flight (depending on your performance).

Any questions left can be asked here or via PM. You have until next Saturday, 14th of May, 23:59, EST (European Standard Time). Good luck

How many turns has the trap you control been on the field for? If it's been on since your previous turn, you can activate it on the turn you're on. If it hasn't, you can't activate its last effect.

It's already been on the field since your last turn, you can activate it immediately.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Question, does this card allow you to Normal Summon during the Battle Phase? And what level are the turrets on?

No, the Normal Summon can only occur when Normal Summons usually can occur, in the Main Phases. Will edit Level, Attribute and Type of the Turrets in the original post.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Then how the bloody hell are you meant to take advantage of the bloody trap?!

Actually, don't answer that, I've got it figured.

Am I right to assume the turrets all start in Attack Position?

Techincally, they are in Defense Position and then switch to Attack Position once you walk by them... but for the sake of game terms, they are in Attack Position
Taking advantage of additional Normal Summons?

Technically, I'm a little late with my PMs to remind the remaining contestants... but who cares, it's my contest, so I'll just push the deadline a little

On a side note: CREagle34 and Neos Wiseman dropped out of the contest due to personal reasons... so yeah, that doesn't mean in any shape or form that you're save

[Spoon]

Alright, with some delay, all cards are in... but the results will take a little while. Was buzy lately, but I hope I can deliver them today

[Spoon]

No results, just a flavor text explaining who died. Those who did can ask me for a detailed review, everybody else sadly can't because I'm short on time lately, sorry

Off we go:

[font="Lucida Sans Unicode"]I found a bullet lying around as I was cleaing up the trash. All alone. By myself. Next to that bullet, I found [b]Mr. Striker[/b]. As I said, just cleaning up the trash. Now that that is out of the way, I guess we can continue testing, can't we? This is going to be so much fun... for me. You're just going to die eventually. Then I have to come and clean you up, just like I did with Mr. Striker... and wasn't there something else? Oh yes, [b]Hiyama Kiyoteru[/b], that's what it was. Didn't recognize you when I stumbled upon you... smashed in pieces and screened by bullets.

Let's see, what was next? Ah, the cooperative campaign. Sounds like fun, since you are no robots. Humans can't work together, that's scientifically proven. But we'll try it anyway and see what the test results say. Make the impossible possible, that's what Science is supposed to do.
Did you know that pigs can fly? You just have to use a catapult that's big enough. And you're going to fly now, just like pigs. Squeek, squeek.

Did I mention [b]ZombiePigman[/b] didn't make it as well? Oh, I'm so forgetful today. Just another flying pig. Fly, fly to the sky, little pig.[/font]

[center][SIZE=4][u][b]Test #3:[/b][/u][/SIZE][/center]
I'll randomly assign you in [b]2-man teams[/b], and you'll have to [b]work together[/b] to survive this test. The task itself is pretty simple: [b]Each of you has to create 1 card that works together with it's counterpart from your partner.[/b] The clue: You cannot communicate freely. Which means [b]you must not use PMs or other external conversations except the one I provide to you.[/b]
And because that would be too easy, you can only use a total of [b]10(!) words[/b] in the whole conversation (per team member, but you can create as many replies as you want (technically only 10 because every reply must have at least 1 word)), and you cannot post the cards and their progress in that thread. Also, [b]the following words are forbidden[/b] and cannot be used during the conversation:

[i]Any form of Summon (including Synchro, Tribute, etc.), hand, Deck, field, Graveyard, Remove(d) from Play (Zone), activate, face-up/down, Attack/Defense Position, ATK/DEF, Spell/Trap/Monster, Tuner, ...-Type, all Attributes, Level.[/i]

Give it your all, teams are assigned as follows (random.org ftw!) and will soon be invited to their own little room to test. Remember: 10 words per team member, and check the list above before talking.

[center]Admiral_Stalfos19 – Daft Punk
n8thegr8 – Bahamut ZERO
Klavier Gavin – Ekikin
Anbu-of-Sand – Cursed Reaction[/center]

Once both are satisfied with the card they created, they may finish their test by writing "Done." (this does not count to the 10 word limit) and sending the cards to me (via another PM). [b]The 2 teams with the worst teamwork will fly.[/b] Yes, I said teamwork, not cards. If there are any questions to the task in general, ask them here. If they regard a specific word/phrase/whatever, ask that via a PM to me (do not use the conversation with your team partner).

Oh, and one last thing: Since I can't really check if you don't have any talks with your partner outside of that thread: Please, just don't do it. It ruins the fun... at least for me You have 1 week from now on. Go, go, go!

PS: You may also tell me how stupid and/or creative this task is... I always like feedback

[n8thegr8]

Im just a little confused about how we communicate. Could you possibly explain it a little bit more? You can do it here or a PM I don't care

Player 1: Cake?
Player 2: Potatoes AND Cake!
Player 1: Must destroy potatoes!
Player 2: Not Battle.
Player 1: Gemini Twin Peaks.
Player 2: I cannot Gemini Twin Peaks.

Player 1: Done.
Player 2: Done.

That's how it's supposed to work... I never said it would be easy, be creative

[Daft Punk]

Wait, so we do our communication in the PM you sent us?

Yes, you do. So I can play big brother and watch you
I'll be going to bed now, save your questions for tomorrow *yawn* You may of course start now, but don't do anything stupid, you hear me?

[Anbu-of-Sand]

This seems impossible D:

Perhaps if it were 20 words per Member it'd be more possible.

As I said: "Making the impossible possible, that's what Science is supposed to do."
And now don't waste any time and use your words wisely. I've just received a message that made me believe that this is doable

[Anbu-of-Sand]

Okay, one quick question though;

If I start off the conversation with a written card and then a word like 'yes' or 'no', does the Written Card count as the ten words?

That should answer your question
The whole point of this is that you have to trust your partner blindfolded. I have the laughs, you have the headaches

Oh. My. Gawd. D:
