Gonna make this one stick. The following rules were stolen from somestrangeflea and edited.
How It Works
All you need to do to play is be able to make an image in Paint and host it on the internet - I recommend imgur.
During registration, each player will PM me 5 (not 4 or 6) cards. These cards can be as simple or as complex as you wish, but many follow this guide:
These pre-made cards, and the same amount of blank cards, will be shuffled and dealt, via PM, five to a player. I, the mod, will also be writing 5 cards to shuffle into the deck at the start of the game.
Each turn, players will be dealt one new card, and then play one card from their hand. They can play a pre-made card, or, if they have a blank card, create a new card and play it, simply by posting it in thread.
Once all the cards have been dealt out and played, the winner will be determined.
Cards target a single player which must be specified when the card is played, unless it specifically states otherwise.
Deadline to play a card is 48 hours after new card is dealt.
3 missed deadlines and YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE GAME. Any cards you played will remain in play but your hand will be shuffled into the deck.
Due to the nature of this game, the very method which determines the winner is likely to change mid-game. The game itself is about creativity rather than strategy though, so try not to take it too seriously.

A card consists (usually) of a title, a picture and a description of its effect. The title should uniquely identify the card. The picture can be as simple as a stick figure, or as complex as the player likes. The description, or rule, is the part that affects the game. It can award or deny points, cause a player to miss a turn, change the direction of play, or do anything the player can think of. The rules written on cards in play make up the majority of the game's total ruleset.
