Cards Against Pokecommunity 2019
 

You decide to investigate Celadon Game Corner. As you're walking between Slot Machines, you hear someone talking to you.
Detective! You finally showed up. You hear as bunch of Team Rocket Grunts surround you. They lead you to a table with a Team Rocket Admin.
So, you want information? Let's play the game to see if you're worthy! he says.


CARDS AGAINST POKECOMMUNITY

What's this, man?
Well, welcome to the annual CAH event. What is CAH? According to their website, it's "a party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends." So if you get easily offended, you should consider if this event is for you. Don't also forget that PC rules still apply though.

What are the rules, yo?
The rules of the game are simple. Each round, a black card is drawn from a deck of black cards. Each player will try to answer with the white cards that they have on their hand. The card czar picks the funniest white card and the owner of that card is the winner of the round!

So how can I join, pal?
We'll be playing on the Pretend You're Xyzzy webapp. If you're unfamiliar with the website, don't worry! It's safe, and it's easy to learn as well. Before each session starts, either of the hosts will post in this thread with (a) a link to the room we'll be playing at and (b) the password to the said room. Each game will be played up to 8 points, and there can be several games per session.

We'll be using different set of cards each time.
And when will we be playing?
The official game will usually start every other day at 18:00 UTC. Click here to convert that to your time.
You can also host your own game (even with different card sets) if you want. Just let people know in this thread.

GREAT! NOW GIVE ME ALL YOUR POINTS!
You can earn 1 point for showing up, playing at least one game and posting in this thread that you were there (preferably with your Xyzzy nickname if it's different from your PC nickname).

You have anything else to say?
Aside from playing the game, I decided to make our own set. So you can create and post here your own black and white cards for the duration of the Get-Together. They should be PC or Pokémon themed. Let's make our own set to play with next year.

This is gonna be fun.
Bring on the blank cards~

Cid August 2nd, 2019 11:24 PM

I'll try to catch at least one game! It's somewhat an off hour for me but I can make it work, I hope.

L'Belle August 3rd, 2019 1:58 AM

I love CAH, you will definitely see me around.

Sami August 3rd, 2019 10:41 AM

this is a great game, will try to hop in maybe

Syntthetix August 3rd, 2019 12:22 PM

I'll definitely try to catch at least one round, I love CAH

Ninetales August 3rd, 2019 8:08 PM

I'm so down for this!

Blue_Pigeon August 4th, 2019 1:34 AM

This sounds really fun. Can I just clarify something though?
PokeCommunity rules state "We do not tolerate bigotry, including, but not exclusive to, racism, homophobia, and transphobia", yet in CAH a lot of the cards do play around with these topics (especially racism) as the aim is to make the most terrible answer to the question. Not to mention that there is a lot of cards relating to pornography.
My question is, will these topics be allowed for the purposes of CAH? Or will we be steering away from these topics?

Janp August 4th, 2019 10:16 AM

The first game will be starting soon!

Click on the link, find the game hosted by Janp and type in the password: PokeCommunity to join. Yeah, it's a lot of steps, but it's worth it.

we are currently discussing this with the other GT Managers and seeing what we can come up with. Someone will get back to you when we've made a decision.

We've discussed this and have come to the conclusion of adding a warning about the content of the game. The game is hosted off-site, so by joining in the event you are consenting to viewing possible offensive content.

Hoping I can participate in at least one game! I'm usually working at the time it happens here so we'll see.

Tsutarja August 5th, 2019 5:10 AM

me too! I was busy yesterday so I missed that game :(

Cid August 5th, 2019 5:51 AM

I missed the game because I did not want to stay up until like 3am. ;_;

Time zones are so tough. It starts every 2am for me. ;(

You can host one by yourself. I was looking for co-host anyway.

Pig August 5th, 2019 1:45 PM

So there's to be another game tomorrow around 18:00 UTC? That's 2PM my time, which is right as I get out of work, so I'll be able to join!

I'll look into when I'll be available re: hosting as well as what I need to know to be able to do it! Thanks, Janp!

EDIT: It's 18:22 UTC as I edit this. I'm open to hosting the next one if people are interested.

EDIT #4 (19:38 UTC): So far there's me, Sheep, Marin, gimmepie, DramaticCubism, Pig, and Pig's friend. Anyone else up for CAH?

The game will be starting when we have enough players!

Click on the link and find the game hosted by Cid:
Click this to get in!

Alternatively, clicking this should take you directly to the game.

EDIT #5 (20:58 UTC): The game I hosted has ended. Thanks everyone for playing! Congrats Pigu! <3
Also I got 7 points! I was so close :D

I saw Sheep, Marin, gimmepie, DramaticCubism, Pig, Pig's friend Grey, the_fast_reader, and some guys named Blackadder and Stonewall something. Post here if I forgot you! Also please tell us your teams!

I am Team Pikachu!
