In celebration of Celes Paradi, Lise was kind enough to lend me a deck of cards. But this
isn't your ordinary stack of paper used for entertainment. Oh no. These cards are special.
She told me to be very careful with them, for they're old and rumored to be magical!
(Disclaimer: I do not own any piece or part of Mene, their NPCs or their art)





The 24th to the 30th (the estimated date of event end), there will be a card game that anyone
can participate in. I'm going to try for something different each day. Simply follow the rules if you
want to play to win, there will be a lot of chance involved but maybe you'll have a stroke of luck.

Ongoing games will end at 11pm according to time in the Mene forums.
No posts made afterwards will be accepted and the next round will not
begin until I have updated the front page with the details for it~


This is not an official event thread. It's hosted and run by myself only. Meaning Mene has no hand in
things & will not be providing prizes. It also means I do this all on my own time and put a lot of work
in for my own enjoyment as well as to hopefully entertain my fellow Menewshans. Please, no drama.






Luck of the Draw is going to be based on a point system. I didn't plan ahead for this but I do
have some spare CIs and 20k, so I'll make it work! Instead of giving out prizes to however
many people participate per day, players will earn points. I haven't exactly decided top prizes
(likely 1st, 2nd & 3rd place) but know that there will be CIs, gold and possibly Celes Paradi event
items as prizes. Please do not play if you are going to be in any way a negative influence on the
games themselves or unpleasant about prizes and/or what you win.

P.S ~ If you play even one card game you will probably at least win a prize of some kind.
I plan on having a point tier similar to the one for my Butterfly Catch Boardgame.

And now for the final round of Luck of the Draw!
In this game I'm putting up the 17k I have, plus other item prizes
We're raising the stakes as the event gets closer to ending!





I will randomly post "High or Low? What's your guess?"
along with a number and a number range for guessing
You're trying to guess a mystery number!

Only the first 7 guesses following my post will be accepted. There is no form,
but you must state if you think the mystery number is higher or lower than the
given number, and then take a guess at what the number might be.

Quote:
High or Low? What's your guess?
Number: 16 / Range: 1 - 25
If your guess of High or Low is right, you will receive a point
If you manage to guess the correct number, you will win a gold amount as well
I will also be throwing out other random prizes; being active in the thread could win you something

Original Game Information

SPOILERX

You can roll a maximum of two times in order to determine
the value of your cards and thus your Black Jack score.
  • 1st Roll: A single 21-sided dice
  • 2nd Roll: A single 10-sided dice


Once you have made your first roll, you can either decide to STAY and keep your number.
Or you can chose to HIT and roll again to try and get a higher number (which will be the
addition of your first roll and your second roll combined). But don't BUST by going over 21!

I will not reveal point values until after the game has ended. It goes without saying
that if you achieve Black Jack, you will receive the highest point value for the round.


*Please do not steal the cards I assembled. They are pieced
together from Mene pixels, but I took the time to create them.



For 1st Roll
HTML Code:
[SIZE="5"][B]'Your Username' G1: Black Jack[/B][/SIZE]
[SIZE="3"]1st Roll:[/SIZE] [dice=1]21[/dice]
*You may put your username in any color. But the rest of the text must follow
exactly the code I give!! Alignment doesn't matter- text size and color does.

Results of 1st / Choice / 2nd Roll
HTML Code:

*Note: Only include the last line if you wish to roll again.
It's preferable that the second post follow shortly after the first.

Original Game Information

SPOILERX

This round is a combo game! Each Goddess has her own card.
Hidden in the layout of cards are 4 of each Goddess' card. How to play;


  • There are 24 cards in total- 12 Goddess cards, and 12 mystery.
  • Choose any three cards, it doesn't matter if someone chooses the same.


The goal is to select one of the following combinations
  • Three of a kind
  • One of each Goddess




The 12 mystery cards could be anyone, angelic or not (does Peeblo come to mind?)
There will also be TWO WILD CARDS, that you can use as any of the Goddess cards.




There is also ONE Unity Card! It's always best when Goddess' get along.
If you get this card in your combo, special things can happen!

  • Any two Goddess' + the Unity Card will guarantee you the overall top point value

*See end of post for other possibilities.





Form for Choosing
HTML Code:
[SIZE="5"][B]'Username' G2: Goddess Hunt[/B][/SIZE]
[SIZE="3"]__, __, __[/SIZE]
*Replace the blanks with your three choices



I'll give you an idea of how the scoring for this round will breakdown.
If you get one/two Goddess' and one/two non-special mystery card,
you WILL still get points. It will just be lowest value on the tier.
(Listed lowest to highest)

3 Mystery Cards
1 GC + 2 MC
2 GC + 1 MC
One of each Goddess
Three of a kind
1 GC + Unity + 1 MC
2 GC + Unity


*Note: The Wild Card can count as 1 GC.
It does not count as a Unity Card.

Original Game Information

SPOILERX

The art of stacking cards has been around for more than a century.
To entertain the Goddess' you will each be constructing a house of cards!
Who will make the tower with the most stories?

  • You may roll once every five minutes
  • 52 cards in a deck, thus you will roll one 52 sided dice
  • There is no limit on how many times you may roll overall
  • Even numbers allow you to progress in building
  • An odd number represents difficulties and no progress
  • Every even number is one story



Form for rolling
HTML Code:
[SIZE="3"][B]G3: House of Cards[/B]
# of stories I have:[/SIZE]
[dice=1]52[/dice]
  • Dice rolls must be at the top of your post
  • You are to keep track of how many stories you're at
  • Do not edit! We like fun, not cheating

For scoring, it will be a tier. Tallest gets the most points, shortest
gets the least, and everyone in between will get a certain value
depending on how many levels they managed to complete

Original Game Information

SPOILERX

There are 88 officially recognized constellations.
For this game you will be trying to 'locate' as many as you can!



The round lens of your telescope is your card guide, with the
twelve months of the year bringing you full circle. Many horoscopes
and fortunes are determined and/or predicted using this layout

Every roll of the dice represents you laying a card down around
the circle, which navigates your telescope across the night sky



  • You will roll one 7 sided dice
  • Ten minutes between every roll
  • The number seven is unlucky and means no progress
  • You want to reach a total of 88
  • Simply keep adding your rolls together
  • Anyone who reaches 88 will be top pt winners
  • But everyone will receive a pt value
If you get the number of your birth month, you get a bonus. See the
guide below to determine which roll represents your birthday month

Bonus example: My birthday is in October, so 3 is my special number
If I roll a 3, I get to add 10 points to my total. 3 for the roll, 7 bonus

1 applies to January and December
2 applies to Feburary and November
3 applies to March and October
4 applies to April and September
5 applies to May and August
6 applies to June and July



Please PM me your birthday month upon starting

Form for searching;


HTML Code:
[SIZE="3"][B]G4: Constellation Search[/B]
Total Found So Far:
[dice=1]7[/dice][/SIZE]
If you would like to keep rolling past 88, I will have a prize
for ONE person, whoever the overall highest roller is

Original Game Information

SPOILERX

The Goddess' have asked for some help searching the UFO crash site.
Each heavenly lady has lost an item and needs help finding it!

As the trio arrives at the site to oversee the many eager diggers, who
else shows up? THOR! It seems he also lost his beloved hammer!



It's time to take up arms and dive into the bottom of the crater
to dig around for some treasures! Keep reading to see how!





You are looking for the four key items! They are all worth high points if you find them!
But there may also be alien artifacts or random things unearthed worth points too
Not every square will have something! Expect some blanks of plain ol' dirt

In this game the deck is made up of magnus cards with three tool options you
can select from for digging! Each works on the field in a different way




Shovel
Do things the good ol' fashion way by using this basic digging device

Shuriken
Use your ninja skills by artfully chucking this sharp star to tear up the dirt

Wand
Enchant the ground with a graceful wave and a bit of magical skill







To join in the dig, all you have to do is select your tool and a square on the field
All tools cover four squares on the field, but in different patterns
It's a secret and won't be revealed until the end. You can only submit your choice once

Also! It is important to select a direction you'd like to dig in
It plays a part in what four squares you will end up working on

Shovel
NE, SE, SW, NW

Shuriken
N, E, S, W, Center

Wand
No direction needed


HTML Code:
[SIZE="3"][B]G5: Crash Site Dig[/B]
Tool of choice:
Square:
Direction:[/SIZE]
*If you choose the Wand, simply put N/A for the direction option

Bonus Mini-Game: If you remain active by posting in here even after playing
your choice, anyone who counts their posts by keeping track of the #s using
[]s anywhere in your post, can win a gold bonus for being a top poster

And now for the final round of Luck of the Draw!
In this game I'm putting up the 17k I have, plus other item prizes
We're raising the stakes as the event gets closer to ending!





I will randomly post "High or Low? What's your guess?"
along with a number and a number range for guessing
You're trying to guess a mystery number!

Only the first 7 guesses following my post will be accepted. There is no form,
but you must state if you think the mystery number is higher or lower than the
given number, and then take a guess at what the number might be.

Quote:
High or Low? What's your guess?
Number: 16 / Range: 1 - 25
If your guess of High or Low is right, you will receive a point
If you manage to guess the correct number, you will win a gold amount as well
I will also be throwing out other random prizes; being active in the thread could win you something
