Swap Station 235  


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, July 25th.

Puzzle Chains 374  

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.

Doctor Who: Shear Force by Trobadora  
Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairings/Characters: Twelve/Missy/Jack
Rating: M
Length: 11,681 words
Creator Links: Trobadora
Theme: Working Together, time travel

Summary: This is what it takes to hold together what has been sheared apart.
Or: The Doctor, Jack Harkness and Missy encounter a weapon from the Time War.

Reccer's Notes: Jack visits the Doctor to berate him for releasing the Master from the vault. While he's there, something terrible is happening to time itself.  The Doctor and Missy have to work together with Jack's help to stabilize their timeline.  The author does such a great job showing you these little snippets of possible timelines, and giving you just enough that you want to know more.  There is a sex scene between the three of them, but it makes sense in the context of story, and is about so much more than just sex.  If you like Twelve and Missy and have always wanted to see what it would have been like to throw Jack into the mix, then please read this one.

Theme Reminder: Working Together  
Photograph with added text: Working Together, at Fancake. Workers in India use wide wooden paddles with long handles to shove a huge yard of drying grains into big piles. The grain, most likely rice, is a beautiful golden color, and there's a mix of western and traditional clothing among the seven men and women.

Twenty Questions 052  
LAST WEEK'S DECK: descended - Might, Silver Chaos



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 July 25th and end on August 1st.

Riku's Favors 132 - Special Round!  


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 for this game.
★ 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.
★ SPECIAL: this week, you can submit up to ten trades instead of just five!

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 July 24th at 11:59 pm EST!

Silly Blanks 276  


Last week's story: "Once upon a time there was a magical NOUN that loved to VERB and sing."

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 a NOUN
• Bonus: green card
Card 2
• Basic: Deck name is a VERB
• Bonus: character has bangs/fringe


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, July 24th!

Star Trek AOS: Inspection of the USS Enterprise Serial Number NCC-1701-A by sad_bi_cowboy  
Fandom: Star Trek AOS/Reboot
Pairings/Characters: Kirk/Spock
Rating: G
Length: 2,242 words
Creator Links: [archiveofourown.org profile] sad_bi_cowboy
Theme: Working together, outsider POV

Summary:

"Inspection order number 324867: USS Enterprise

Serial number: NCC-1701-A
Ship Class: Constitution
Ship Claim: Starfleet
Ship Membership: United Federation of Planets

Captain James T. Kirk in command.
Commander S'chn T'gai Spock: First/Chief Science Officer
Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy: CMO
Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott: Chief Engineer
Lieutenant Nyota Uhura: Chief Communications Officer
Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu: Pilot
Ensign Pavel Chekov: Navigator

Inspector Assigned: Lieutenant Jessie Bellamy

End of Transmission"

Reccer's Notes: Lt. Jessie Bellamy performs her first inspection of a Starfleet ship, and she gets the Enterprise in all its chaotic, rulebreaking glory. She's just trying to do her job, but the ship and crew are so far outside the rules that she's having trouble even fitting them into the standards for inspection.

When you read a lot of Star Trek fic, you start to normalize all the wild and irresponsible shit that goes on. This fic provides the perspective of someone who is supposed to evaluate how well the crew are following the rules, and it's fantastic. Lt. Bellamy has to stay on the ship for the duration of the inspection, work with the crew, and survive some of the scrapes the Enterprise gets into. It's hilarious and wonderful.
