New Challenge Every Day - August 12th

[starjake]

Today's Challenge:
Phoenixes

.::Rules of the Game::.
This contest is a hybrid of the DCC and IIW/winner-is-judge games like Club Flamingo. Anyone can enter each day.

.::To Enter::.
In a single post:

• Name exactly two other players to vote for their entries for the previous challenge. (In the event that there are two or less entries that you are allowed to vote for, you may vote for only one)

• Make a card that fits the current challenge.

• Include an "If I Win" (IIW) for tomorrow's challenge if you win.

Each day we use the challenge of the previous day's winner. In the case of a tie, we'll use the IIW of the tied player who has least overall points.

.::Scoring::.
Votes you receive each day go to your points for the duration of the contest (currently planned to end on Sat Aug 31, at which time the points will reset for the next month). The top overall scorer(s) at the end of this period will be the winner(s).

.::Note of the Day::.
Reviving this because it was fun. I'll do my best to keep it going. I'm seven hours behind GMT, so I'll try to post the next day's challenge at night my time (about 3 - 4 am GMT).
