Welcome back to our Advent Calendar!

We're spending too much time cooped up inside. Let's talk about our favorite outdoor winter activities today. Are you a sledding fiend? Make a mean snow angel? Do you ski or snowboard (I am jealous if that is the case). Or do you live in a warmer climate and winter is the perfect swimming weather, or are you on a sailing boat? Or anything you did when you were younger that you reflect back on fondly? If it's outdoors I'd like to hear about it.

For answering today's Advent Calendar discussion you can take four gray or blue cards in any combination -- all 4 gray, all 4 blue, or mixed and matched. Specials are allowed as long as one color is gray or blue.

All Advent Calendar games are open until January 1st, 2026

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

HITx2 4 Cards
HITx3 8 Cards

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, December 12th.

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.

Hello everyone! Is it getting cold where you are? We've already had snow 😭

Today I want to hear about your favorite winter/holiday media! That could be Christmas movies you love, shows set primarily in the winter, a book that takes place over New Year's, an anime that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the holidays but you traditionally watch every year in December, etc.

For commenting you can take choice cards spelling SNOW. The letters can be anywhere in the deck name, and specials are allowed!

The Advent Calendar is open until January 1st, 2026!

I totally didn't forget to post this until Pot of Gold went up, what are you talking about.

Once again, I am accepting trades of any size, from one card to 1000+ cards! If you don't have anything I want, I'll happily take Favors fodder or randoms.

From this release I am collecting lizzes, blowhorn, glaseado, montenevera. Please think of me when you get these cards!

LAST WEEK'S DECK: games - Mutou Yuugi, Yu-Gi-Oh!



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 December 12th and end on December 19th.

Riku's Favors 152

Dec. 5th, 2025 08:49 am

[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.

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 December 11th at 11:59 pm EST!

Last week's story: "Dior has all new perfumes this winter, including Rose NOUN and ADJECTIVE Elixir fragrances."

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: primary color (red/yellow/blue)
Card 2
• Basic: Deck name is a VERB
• Bonus: manga image


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, December 11th!

[admin post] Admin Post: Choosing Your GYWO 2026 Pledge

Dec. 4th, 2025 01:01 pm
gywomod: (Default)
[personal profile] gywomod posting in [community profile] getyourwordsout
With GYWO 2026 Pledges opening next week, which pledge to choose is hopefully on your mind. Instead of letting everyone stew in their personal hells, we’re running down a few of the common things the mods tell panicked participants, and then offering up a pledge calculator to help you make this somewhat difficult decision.

If you have any questions about GYWO or what it's like to aim for a specific pledge, the comments are open for all your concerns. Sometimes talking to a writer currently working on a pledge can help you come to a pledging decision!


If you're new to GYWO and have a question related to our membership requirements, general guidelines, monthly check-ins, or what words or activities count, please visit our website. More information about pledging for 2026 will be released around Dec 12.


Word Count Pledge Vs Habit Pledge
Deciding between a Word Count Pledge or Habit Pledge can be a difficult decision. Here are some things to consider as you make your choice:
Choosing Between Word Count and Habit )

Habit Pledges
Choosing between Habit Pledges comes down to deciding how much you plan to write each month:
  • If you plan to write mostly on weekends, choose the 120 Day Pledge. That’s weekends + 16 days.
  • If you plan to write mostly on weekdays, choose the 240 Day Pledge. That’s weekdays – 20 days, giving you a few days off.
  • If you want to write every day, choose the 350 Day Pledge!
  • If you've participated previously and 120 Days was too easy, but 240 Days was too hard, try the 180 Day Pledge to land right in between!
  • If you've participated previously and 240 Days was too easy, but 350 Days was too hard, try the 300 Day Pledge to land in between!
  • If you haven’t tried writing daily before but want to, we recommend the 180 Day Pledge as a way to ease into a semi-daily writing habit before tackling a more challenging pledge.


Word Count Pledges
First Time with a Word Count Pledge?
If you’ve never tracked your word count for the year, take a moment to assess how many words you think you’ve written in the past year. Consider things like whether or not you participate in word-count based writing challenges, how much you’ve published in the last year (self or traditionally published, fanfic, blog, etc), and how much you tend to revise your work (writing it entirely over or just editing lines).
  • If meeting your goal is more motivating, choose a goal that matches a conservative estimate of how much you wrote in 2025.
  • If you think you’ll lose interest if you meet your goal early, choose a goal that matches a liberal estimate of how much you wrote in 2025.
  • There are no penalties for not meeting your pledge, so don’t be afraid to choose a pledge you may not be able to meet!


Pledge Calculator
Thinking about what projects you'll work on next year is another common way writers make decisions about their GYWO pledge. To aid that, we've created the Pledge Calculator. Click the link and download or make a copy to use the spreadsheet.

    To save it to your Google Drive, you can go to File > Make a Copy from the web. If you are on mobile from a phone or tablet, tap the 3 dots at the top right, and go to Share & export > Make a Copy

    To download in another format, go to File > Download from the web. On mobile, tap the 3 dots at the top right, and go to Share & export > Save as….

Fill in the title of your projects, estimated word counts, or estimated number of days you'll work on the project. The calculator will recommend a Word Count Pledge and a Habit Pledge based on the information you provide.


download or save the Pledge Calculator



Whether you've done GYWO before or used the calculator, you might have narrowed your choice to two goals. Here’s our advice for choosing between two word count goals…

Go Big on Word Counts )
Step Back on Word Counts )
Keep Your Word Count Consistent )

The best advice we have is to look at your schedule and figure out where writing fits into it. Use the pledge calculator (or pen and paper) to list the projects, ficathons, and stories you might write next year and consider the word tallies or time involved. Really think about what's motivating for you—knowing you'll hit a goal or chasing down the finish line.

And if all else fails, you can do what some of our current GYWO members have suggested and pick your pledge based on the associated pledge color. 😉

    Habit Pledges120 Days (Backpacker), 180 Days (Excursionist), 240 Days (Explorer), 300 Days (Adventurer), and 350 Days (Globetrotter)
    Word Count Pledges75K (Light), 150K (Modest), 200K (Basic), 250K (Moderate), 300K (Difficult), 350K (Herculean), 500K (Outrageous), and 1M (Ludicrous)


As a reminder, your GYWO pledge is locked in for the full year.
You cannot change pledges mid-year.
If you hit your goal early, you're still part of the same pledge group.
So choose a goal to sustain you ALL year.



In the comments, let us know your pledging woes! Wonder how difficult another pledge is? Still need clarity on the pledge types? This is your opportunity to ask. After some discussion, hopefully you'll come away with a confident decision.

Note: Commenting to this post does not constitute pledging for 2026. Come back next week and follow the instructions in the Pledges & Requirements post to make a pledge for 2026.

Hey everyone! I hope you're enjoying the Advent Calendar so far!

Today's post is a short discussion idea hoping to bring some positivity to everyone.

Tell us about something you're proud about from this year! No matter how small it is. Maybe you drew a cool fanart, finished writing a fanfic, got that platinum trophy in a cool game? Or even something like finding a new cool fandom or simply "I got through this year in one piece (not the anime)".

For commenting, you can take 3 character choice cards, each one of a different color. Write what you're taking in your comment!

This game, like all Advent Calendar days, will close on 1st January, noon GMT!
