Could you make the "Ping Pong Debate" card?

And then I'd like the "I can't see you" card, for players that insist upon violating the forum rules on soft ignores.

Excellent, excellent. I can't remember the last time I've been so impressed.

Texan Hotrodders, you have way too much time on your hands, my friend. that being said, good set. i think the Illegal and Read The Stickies cards would be used by myself alot. oh yeah, you missed one: the Read The Damn Rules card

edit

also, a Been Tried a Million Times and Failed card as well
Nargopia
05-05-2005, 01:53
I think that the "Read the Damn FAQ" covers that.

Lol Glassed! I remember DLE threatened somone with that after i was only here a couple of days. When i posted that i didnt understand she was surprisingly gentle with her reply to this n00b. :D

*runs for cover*
I think it's safe to say that DLE roleplays a female roleplaying being a cyborg male. Beyond that, I'm not placing any bets.

There is already a DLE card. The Nine of Immunity. (Suit of Techwank)

Can I use the "Resolution Author" card? Or are you going to design a weaker "Repeal Author" card?
Flibbleites
05-05-2005, 05:41
How about a "Why won't this idea die?" card, perfect for use when someone proposes banning nukes, or any other dumb idea that pops up on a semi-regular basis

i think that would be my 'tried a million times and failed' card. if not, would it cover the amount of stupid repeals that we have too?

Other ideas (I'd make 'em myself if allowed and told the font used):

10 - You could, but then I'll invade.
J - This again?!
Q - No RL references!
K - Already covered!

If we might suggest:

"Think of the Children!"

and

"Morally, we MUST...."

Krioval
05-05-2005, 07:01
Ace - I don't give a shit.

To be used against moralizing, preaching, irrelevancy, or just about anything else that is legal but downright obnoxious, yet not killable on specific principle.

Example of its usage:

Blah blah blah...

...think of the children!

Drop the ace.

05-05-2005, 07:05
wish i could drop the ace on the current one...

How about a "Run it through a bloody Word Processor!"

I think that could be useful...

You can use the "Resolution Author" card if you're a repeal author, yes.

05-05-2005, 15:31
"Apathy" and "Redundancy" cards are up.

i am a Resolution author card. (http://img75.echo.cx/img75/4021/resolutionauthorcard6ir.jpg) You can use the "Resolution Author" card if you're a repeal author, yes.

As an author of a resolution. i would throw a "snootilly POOpoohin your idea" card in here. I know i speak fo all the resolution authors when i say that a repealer is the enemy! :p
Venerable libertarians
05-05-2005, 20:01
an eeny weeny point !

Shouldnt the cards be reversable top and bottom? Axial Symmetry i believe is called. Seen as though they're modeled on playing cards.

Hey! the let me make an eeny weeny point card!

lol
Nargopia
05-05-2005, 21:50
Yes! I believe I am the first to use the Redundancy Card!

06-05-2005, 03:47
"Think it through"

and

"This IS NOT the Real UN!"

and

"The UN may not have..."

and

"Read the Past Resolutions"

and

"It's been tried before"
The Lynx Alliance
06-05-2005, 04:44
read faq and read stickies would cover the 2nd to last one, vas
redundancy could cover the last one

"Shut up, Chatspeaker"

"HOW old are you?"

"Ping-Pong Alert"

"I may eat puppies, but that doesn't make me wrong"

How about a "Use Real Words" card?

I've looked over the suggestions, and plan to do a "This is not the real-life UN" card and a "Your Debate Style Sucks" card.

Edit: The "Debate Style" Card is up.

08-05-2005, 22:00
I've just thought, do these add up to 52? 'cos I smell a profitable merchandising sideline here.

'Course they don't; what am I thinking? But If they do reach a full deck, maybe you should put them all to scale on one file, for NS nerds to use. Not that I just want a set, at all. Obviously ;)
Vastiva
09-05-2005, 10:13
How about a "DEATH TO SMILEYS!" card?
