[GooeyChewie]

Welcome to Fill in the Blank, the set-building dream card contest!

Each week I will post the collector’s information for one of the cards in the set’s cardlist. Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the cardlist, keeping in mind the surrounding cards. As the contest progresses, the cardlist will become more and more defined, guiding the contests’ choices.

The theme of our set is The Villains of Star Trek. Not every card has to fit the theme, of course, but it’s something to keep in mind when voting. Speaking of voting, as per normal each contestant will vote for one of the previous week’s entries (with the exception that as the contest runner, I will vote ONLY in the case of a tie).


Our winner from last week: Peers!

* Earth, Seat of the Empire

You may play cards and equipment at this mission. At the end of your turn, any non-[Pa] personnel you command are killed unless they have Treachery.

Special note: I will be at GenCon next week, so this version of the contest will last two weeks.

You sure you don't just wanna pick someone and PM them the number of the next card and have them handle it for you for a week?

[GooeyChewie]

I'm okay with that, if somebody would like to volunteer.

[Peers]

Yeah, I'll volunteer. Just PM me whatever number you want done next and your card, I'll post a new thread Thursday.

My Entry:

"Why does it frighten you, Holmes?!"

Integrity: 3, Cunning: 11, Strength: 6

Notes: Slightly bending the games rules on personnel attributes, but if anyone deserves to be smarter than Data, it's the man created to outsmart him.

All the Best,
