credit to bread for the cultural celebration gift post idea!

while we're celebrating colors halloween (come get green candies, by the way), there's also another holiday coming up--día de los muertos!

día de los muertos is a celebration of life and death, where we remember our loved ones who have passed on and share food and drinks that they enjoyed in life with them. the spirit of the holiday is about sharing and community, so take some snacks and i'll share some cards and crayons with you! either ten random cards or five random crayons, depending on which you pick.

pan de muerto: a soft sweet bread lightly flavored with anise, cinnamon, and orange zest. the pattern represents crossed bones to remind us of our own mortality! lately i've even seen some filled with cajeta (caramel made with goat milk), chocolate, or mazapan (a candy made from peanuts and sugar). it goes great with champurrado (hot chocolate but better)!

corundas michoacanas: if you prefer something savory! masa (a type of corn flour used also for things like tortillas and tamales) shaped into triangles and steamed, and then topped with a sauce made of tomatoes and chile de árbol. they're a traditional dish from the region of mexico my family's from, and dates back to pre-hispanic times!

you have until november 2nd (the last day of día de los muertos) to make your choice (and if you'd want to try them/have tried them before heheh)! also, please tell me about any cultural foods you like that remind you of home and family!

feel free to offer trades here as well (click my banner below!), or just pick your dish and yap about food with me

Welcome back to COMBO BREAKER everyone! The ever lovely Yorigami sisters have returned to count your combos.

How high has your combo managed to go? Joon is a brawler and and Shion is never far behind her in a fight (literally)! Joon is all ears for any new moves you might want to show her, especially ones where she can reap the benefits--because the two of them are misfortune goddesses and spending too much time around Shion might make your luck run out and end your sweet combo.
Rules
- Every week you will be able to pick a button, similar to how Pick a Color works. Every button can be either HIT or MISS.
- The number of HITs in a row you accumulate is the length of your combo but the moment you get a MISS, you lose all of it. This means if you accumulate 3 hits, then recieve a miss, you CANNOT turn in those 3 hits. If you receive 2 hits, a miss, then a hit, You now only have one hit in your combo, not 3 not 2.
- You don't have to play every week to build up your combo! Time that passes between your HITs doesn't matter as long as you don't get a MISS. Feel free to skip a round or two if you decide that it's too high risk or you just don't have time to play!


- You are able to turn in your combos for prizes. Longer combos yield much bigger prizes but you have a greater chance of being interrupted so it's up to you if you'd rather take the risk or play it safe.


- When turning in your combo, please provide links to all HITs that are part of it. Also, once you turn in a combo, you can't reuse these HITs for your next combo.


- Please redeem your combos in the COMBO REDEEMING TOP LEVEL. There will be one posted with every round of this game, and it will always be the first comment on the post.

In This Round
7 buttons are hiding a HIT!

3 buttons are hiding a MISS!



Rewards
HITx1 2 Cards
HITx2 4 Cards
HITx3 8 Cards
HITx4 16 Cards
HITx5 32 Cards
HITx6 64 Cards
HITx7 128 Cards

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

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, October 31st.

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.

LAST WEEK'S DECK: ribika - Konoe, Lamento -Beyond the Void-



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!

Special: submitting at least one guess will earn you a random Halloween candy!

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 October 31st and end on November 7th.

Riku's Favors 146 - Special Edition

Oct. 24th, 2025 01:01 pm

[personal profile] misheard posting in [community profile] colors_tcg


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 as a series for this game. However, two cards from the same scrapbook may be exchanged for a choice card from that scrapbook.
★ 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 round, submitting at least one trade will get you a random Halloween candy!

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 October 30th at 11:59 pm EST!

Last week's story: "The ADJECTIVE dragon collects NOUN for its hoard."

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: n/a
Card 2
• Basic: Deck name is an ADJECTIVE
• Bonus: n/a
Card 3
• Basic: Deck name is an VERB
• Bonus: n/a


You'll lose the cards you turn in, but for each basic requirement you fulfill you will receive 5 random cards. For this special round each card will automatically get you the bonus 1 random card, for a full reward of 18 cards total!

Good luck! This round will close on Thursday, October 30th!

Every round we'll get to relive a game that's currently inactive on Colors. Perhaps it will be an old favorite, or one you never got to play before? Let's see what game Tomoyo has in store for us today!

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.
