@MagicChess That word was from a previous word list. Since it’s an honest mistake, I’ll still judge your entry, but remember to use words only from the most recent list.
@Hergusbergus You’re fine. Words can be used by anyone, even if they’ve already been used, until they’re not on the most recent list.
Extra! Extra! One day only! Inspired by the chaos of Black Friday, as well as Cards Against Humanity’s incredibly absurd 99% off sale, from now until Sunday, Nov 25th (EST) we’re holding a Fire Sale!
Event - Fire Sale!
Anyone who comments during this event will receive a completely random item! The item could be a Mythic Rare prize, something as simple as a favorite, or even junk or a hazard, but heck! It’s free!
(Note: If you receive a hazard, you also get another item.)
Anyways, time for the items up for grabs... one day later. Sheesh I was out late...
@Ranshi922 For you? We have a buy one 50% off, get two free sale on knives! Everyone likes knives, right?
You Got: Knife (Common, Activated): Use this to deal two damage to a creature entry. MODIFIER - Loose Handle: There is a 50% chance that the knife will break, doing nothing.
@Hergusbergus Here will do. As for you, we know that TVs are a common Black Friday gift, but why watch TV when you can watch fireworks?! We still have surplus fireworks from the 4th of July, so they’re all 90% off!
You Got: Fireworks (Common, Activated): Use this to deal one damage to every creature entry in a deadline, even if they’re submitted after this item is used.
@Bowler218 Let’s see what we’ve got for you... hmm... I’ve got a Bowler Hat right here! All hats BOGO!
You got: Bowler Hat (Junk): At least it’s stylish!
@Aggroman15 Free stuff? Absolutely! You get a free Trump Card just for visiting!
You got: Trump Card (Uncommon, Triggered): Automatically used at the end of the deadline. Your trump card has a random chance of being picked as a winning card.
Sesquipedalianism - The condition that I unwittingly bestowed upon myself. (It is defined as the tendency to use long words. (No joke; you must read my essays!)) (My essays are typically lyrical philosophical syntheses... For those who were not wondering.)
Welp, I didn’t find what I was looking for, but I found this.
Yes! After literally HALF A YEAR, I’ll be continuing this contest... so, refreshers? Yeah. I’ll great right to it... you’ll need it.
OH! And since you all had to wait so long, everyone gets a complementary prize. Just comment to claim it!
Anyways, new deadline, and now, anyone can use any word they want, at any point! Even if it appeared before, you can use it! All entries, however, must be new, and the word must be unique and interesting, or very rare.
Remember! Five cards per deadline, and you can use any word, even if it’s been used! At the end of each deadline, prizes will be rewarded in at least three, but up to ten, semi-random categories! The deadline will be revealed at least one week in advance.
