Last week, the Unofficial Destructoid Trading Card Game: Flame Wars was announced. Now today, the TCG formerly known as Flame Wars is now unnamed. What stands in it's place, is an acronym.
D: E. K.
But, what does D:E.K. mean? How is it relevant to the TCG I've created?
Well, that's something I'd like the community to participate in. This game is about you and I'd like to hear what you think D:E.K. should stand for.
Names should be clean, nothing like "ear-fucking kittens" or anything like that. Come up with as many names as you want to, and at the end, I'll pick the ones I like the best, and the community will vote for which name they would like to see be adopted as the Official name of the Unofficial TCG.
Of course, there will be a prize in the works for who ever gets the winning name. The contest will end on May 27th at 12:01 a.m. so get your entries in fast!
Now, it wouldn't be any kind of PR if I didn't have anything to add about the game. D:E.K. is now an intense, strategic, and very quick-paced TCG, which is easy enough to pick up in one play though. However, don't let that fool you, no matter how you build your 50 card deck, you'll always have a weakness the other bloggers could exploit. Do you go comment heavy, to block the opponents points? Do you go Blog heavy to score more? Do you choose to be a troll or a gent? And depending on these choices, you could control the front page, or, fade into oblivion.
Your choice.
Take a gander at a sneak peek of the cards.

Also, from now until May 27th, I'll be accepting user submitted entries for Aid cards. As long as they are balanced, I'll include them in the DEK card game! Or, if they require a bit of tweaking. ;)

The center of cards will of course be filled with artwork, but as of now, I don't have any to fill. If you want to flex your creative muscles, shoot me an email at bh.bahs[at]gmail[dot]com or send me a message here on Dtoid and I'll give you a few details on it! Thanks again!
And @Niero, fix the "edit my posts" link!
I'd get me some of those when they're made, did I not live in Britain.

Also, looks good, but how are you going about balancing the cards? I don't see any play costs on any of the cards (a la "lands" in Magic), so it might be easier to let users create cards and for you to balance them according to whatever cost system you plan on using.
Either way, this seems like an idea with a lot of potential. As much as I love the older Destructoid cards started by Atheistium and repopularized by The Ghost, there was no real way to play them in any sensible way. I'll try to come up with some card ideas, and I'd love to be in on some playtesting.

@ Necros - Balancing is something that will come in play testing. Right now, me and the few friends that are helping me with it have run into a few snags here and there, but there's no way we could simulate all the situations. So, that's where all you guys can help too! :D Also, I owe everything to The GHost and Atheistium for giving me a spark to get this thing started and I'll thank them in my own way accordingly. ;)
@ ArcticFox - It is the Dtoid Font, called 04b_03b. DL it.
Also,are you new here?
