(i like the special ability though ;))
To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow. - Metrodorus of Chios
I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

I should make the middle text for BS403 black rather than white...

The rules are still in development, so saying something now would not be true in say, a week.

BUT, the main focus will be on what combinations of skill, knowledge, and power you get.

Ack, I need to look in this sub-board more often, too.  This is a cool idea, and I'll contribute something when I get the chance. :)

The game will focus on what attribute combinations you have and the projects that your "forum" creates.  These projects will be named after actual HLP projects and will have an arbitrary income from donations (in $).  Of course, there will be plenty of silly fighting.


We need more posts here or there will only be 9 member cards...

1. Representative Name - Herra Tohtori
2. Skill / Knowledge / Power - 5 - 7 - 4

3. Power of Two of your Post Count - 8

4. Representative Picture -





5. Representative Colors: (in hex)

#006b00
#003000
#FFFFFF

Mostly white, please, with dark green stripes and medium green text background, and white text. The picture is actual me, though I put myself in Darth Sidious style hood... :D

6. Description of Yourself - Herra Tohtori is an agnostic atheist who believes in power of rational thought as almost infinitely better source for solutions to moral dilemmas than religious authorities. He knows a lot of many things, and if he's really interested in doing something, it doesn't take long for him to learn it. Unfortunately, most areas of interest usually aren't very useful, which causes Herra Tohtori to forget the important things (such as eating, sleeping and studying) when there's something more interesting to do. Some people think he is laze, and perhaps he is, but the biggest problem of Herra Tohtori is highly selective motivation.

If you feel like it, leave something out of that one, it became a bit long.


7. 1 to 3 Special Attributes - Sharp mind in many things; lousy time management skills; no noticeable diurnal rhythm

Can withstand illogical attacks remarkably well (if there are such things as illogical attacs; I would qualify Cack Attack as one, for example)

Special ability: Information Flood

-When Herra Tohtori is in play and someone makes an offensive move against him he lets out an information flood about that particular attack, which has crippling effect on almost all people cards in game - except those on Herra Tohtori's side.

-Each person card except those on Herra Tohtori's side are affected by Information Flood, but the most significant effect it has on Prophet the Anti-Mathematic, who panics in horror and is completely unusable for three turns. He can be attacked, though.

You can also use that green light as an idea for attack. It does more than illuminate, you know...

It would help if the color values were in RGB% style, not hex.  But either way technically works.

Colours in RGB values... thoguh in GIMP you can use hex-values directly to feed a colour into use, so I assumed it would work in other programs too...

1. Medium Green (0, 107, 0)
2. Dark Green (0, 48, 0)
3. Pure white (255, 255, 255)


There. :D

1. Representative Name - Alkanub

2. Skill / Knowledge / Power - 1 / 1 / 2

3. Power of Two of your Post Count - 2

4. Representative Picture -

5. Representative Colors - Blue

6. Description of Yourself - Whats an army without the weak minions, Alkanine can fill this roll without a problem.

7. 1 to 3 Special Attributes - Forum Noob: All cards get a -1 to attacking Alkanine, as they are not familiar with his methods
Annoying question: Alkanine can choose to ask a question instead of attacking this round to keep one opponent card busy

1. Ulala

2. Skill = 9 Knowledge = 7 Power = 4 (did I even do this right? I'm a lil anti-math myself...)

3. 10

4. You might have to crop or resize to make it fit right, feel free.

5. lighter pink (245, 161, 230), darker pink (248, 106, 183), orange (254, 179, 34) and white/black where necessary. Let's see how these look. Hopefully decent. If they look awful, here is an acceptable blue that might help: (1, 84, 221)
*crosses fingers* Oh, and they're the main colors from Space Channel 5, the game which Ulala comes from.  ;)

6. Ulala has found himself wandering FS boards for quite a long time now, sometimes looking fondly back to the glory days of the VBB. While not a postcount machine, he does give his opinion solidly when relevant, and also does his best to contribute whenever and wherever he can. His Freespace interests include FREDding, playtesting, and enjoying the mods and upgrades of the HLP community. Easy-going as he is, incurring Ulala's wrath is a difficult task, though not an impossible one. Just ask his computer. Or his old lego sets.

7. -Dance Dancer (DDR) and musical talent give him agility, style, and charisma with which he can smooth his way out of almost any situation;
    -his extreme levels of logic and common sense outperform any level emotion and unreasonableness;
    -"half forum lurker" status gives him some "stealth" ability.

Take from it what you will, and feel free to expound on it however you like, I'm not the most creative person. You've been doing a great job so far, I'm condifent you'll make my persona into a pleasing card. :)

1.  Tyrian

2.  Skill -- 4, Knowledge -- 8, Power -- 4

3.  8

4.  Put "Image Classified" in the image box.  Red letters, black background, all caps.  (I could do it in paint, but I don't know how to scale it to the right size.)

5.  All black, white border lines, white text.  (I don't know how to do percentages and get it to look that way.)

6.  Tyrian is a wraith.  Little is known about him or his motives.  He is quite intelligent and enigmatic.  However, he is sometimes intellectually owned by Herra.  Tyrian's specialty knowledge is of things governments do not want their people to know.  Extended bio classified level Omega.

7.  Research:  The player may look at all the cards in his or her opponent's hand.
Cold War:  Tyrian's knowledge of other cards allows him to prevent one of his opponent's cards from acting.
Ductwork:  Tyrian gains some of his knowledge by crawling through the HLP air ducts.  As a result, he has made friends with Carl the Shivan and needs no lunches if he encounters him.  Tyrian is invincible against all of Carl's attacks.

EDIT:  If a Carl the Shivan card isn't made, just erase that last ability.

EDIT2:  Fixed the attributes, added a little bit to my #6 description.

Bush (Verb) -- To do stupid things with confidence.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.

Bumper stickers at my college:
"Republicans for Voldemort!"
"Frodo failed.  Bush got the Ring."

Resistance is futile!  (If < 1 ohm...)

You can't have any more than 8 in any attribute.  Change those, please, or I will choose the new attributes for you.

Your card is rather powerful, so i will modify it.  I love the ductwork ability, though!

Good picture too.
