Forensics Trading cards

[_joe]

... you know you want them. I was thinking, how funny would it be if we had a card trading game based on Forensics?

boy #1: I cast bad judge card. you automatically are told that you were great, but you get last in the round.

boy #2: well, I cast magic missle with my extemp box blockade. I block your attack.

boy #1: fo' shizzle. take a cough drop attack!


okay. bad idea. perhaps a video game? :D

[Ryan]

Jess, I'm not even going to say anything...

[MRdbtr]

WOW.

I'd do it though. WIth 5 hours between rounds, i'd play ANYTHING you put in front of me...

[ria]

i think somebody's been watching too much yu-gi-oh. :wink:

[MovieStar1084]

i think it should be the official game at Nationals... it would be awesome

[ria]

sounds like fun stuff.

A forensics trading card game...Hmmm...Joe, ring me up sometimes. We seriously need to capitalize off that idea. :D

[Chewie]

That would be a great idea! Except let's just forget the whole card thing, and just go out and get some ice cream instead. I mean, except for the cards, it's a great idea...really...

Besides, cough drop would have to function as a trap card against a inflammed throat attack...you can't attack with a healing spell...duh...:)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No, I wont say anything.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[SniffyGuy]

Wow, very cool idea. I think it could be better this way.

We all know how great a game magic the gathering is, and this is based off of that.

You don't play the role of competetor; you play the role of coach. And your cards consist of various types of "spells" i guess. But the think you use to really do damage to the other player with is competetor cards (these would be like the summons in magic). How awesome would it be collecting cards of various awesome forensicators.

"I'll trade you a Lisa Campbell and a Jesse Gall for... your Tom Finley"

[Ryan]

I tap my Jeff Moscaritolo, he uses his Bunny Boil attack and you lose 3 qualifiers. Your turn!

Of course, no forensics game could be complete without the use of the "Ebonics" card to strengthen random players!

Boy 1: I use my Josh Bone card! And I strengthen it with the power of ebonices to form the "J. Bizzle!"

Joe honey, I think we have a little too much time on our hands.

I'm selling my limited edition Varun Akula rookie card! Get it while it's hot!

I like the idea of a magic the gathering card like game. so we have:

-competitor cards

-rhetoric cards (magic spells to cast on your competitors)

-trap cards (i.e your speechie gets a rip in their nylons. you lose; you have an inexperienced judge)

-instants (coughing fit, increased health with water bottle, loses extemp boxes)

what am I missing?

Mana Cards to cast the spells. How bout trading sessions with famous coaches? I tap 2 Kraft sessions to cast my Jesse Gall.

[FunkyChicken]

They could come in special themed base packs, and themed booster packs to expand your collection! You could start with a basic starter pack with relatively low-level stuff, and then eventually build up your team with the "FFI Booster Pack", "Yale Booster Pack", "Apple Valley Booster Pack", etcetera...

And where do we put "Speech Whores"? They've gotta belong somewhere...

[SniffyGuy]

there has to be like a pannel of people to sort through all the applications and their resumes (yes, you'd have to apply to get a card of you made) and decide how many attack and defense points to give each card. Each card would also have to specify the grade of the competetor, as that would obviouslyaffect the attack/defense ratings. I know that my freshman year card would have a rating of like 1/2 while my junior year card might be up around 7/7 or 8/8. With this system, you could have four cards per person, and each would be different. and the really sought after cards would be like Tom Finley - Senior.

And then they could have vintage cards or something. So you could actually have a dave kraft card (it would be very very rare of course).
