[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: WeyounsLastClone! In a very self-referential entry!

(4) •Weyoun, Deceptive Diplomat
Vorta
Anthropology, Biology, Diplomacy, Exobiology, Leadership, Treachery
When this personnel would be stopped or killed by a dilemma, you may discard a card from hand to have him gain a skill of your choice until the end of your turn instead.
"Oh my! That is quite toxic, isn't it?"
Integrity 2 Cunning 6 Strength 4

Here are our entries for this week:

(2) Hate Crime
While facing this dilemma, your personnel cannot gain skills or increase their attributes. This dilemma's owner names a skill. Unless you have a personnel with that skill, a second personnel with Integrity>6, and a third personnel with Cunning>7, randomly select a personnel to be killed. Otherwise, choose a personnel to be returned to its' owner's hand.
"How do you get a rope around the neck of a shapeshifter?"

0 Incapacitated

Place this dilemma on this mission. You may not discard cards from your hand or lose points to pay for the cost of another card or ability. When this mission is completed, return this dilemma to its owner's dilemma pile.
"You saw the mutations as a threat to your authority. You were terrified of something you couldn't understand."

(2) Honorable Discharge
(Image is of a Klingon firing a Disruptor at someone, the bolt about to hit the target)
Your highest Strength personnel is stopped. Your opponent may stop one of their Honor personnel here; if they do, compare the strengths of the two stopped personnel. If your opponent's strength is higher, your personnel is killed instead and this dilemma returns to the dilemma pile.

3 Nagilum
Unless you have 3 Diplomacy or Navigation and Shields >7, subtract the span of this mission from five. Kill that number of personnel.
"What is death?"

(2) Little Justice
Your opponent names a species. Choose one: your opponent chooses a personnel of that species to be killed; or randomly select a personnel of that species to be killed, and this dilemma returns to its owner's dilemma pile.
"My superiors would have me solve this murder by rounding up ten Bajorans at random and executing them. I'm hoping you'll give me a better alternative."

3 I'm Going To Miss You.

Dilemma

When your opponent reveals this dilemma, add 5 to each of this dilemma's requirements for each different Q event in play. Unless you have an attribute > 30, all your personnel are stopped, and if you have more points than your opponent, lose 5 points.

“Goodbye, Jean-Luc. I'm gonna miss you. You had such potential. But then again, all good things must come to an end.”

(4) Man Trap
Choose an opponent's mission, then randomly select two personnel to be stopped. Unless you have the skills needed to complete the chosen mission, those personnel are killed instead and your other personnel are stopped.
"This man shouldn't be dead. I can't find anything wrong with him. According to all the tests, he should get up and just walk away from here."

(3) Horga'hn Display
Dilemma
Unless you choose to stop all of your personnel, place this dilemma in your core. At the end of your opponent's turn, if this dilemma is in your core, your opponent removes this dilemma from the game to take an additional turn.
"The Horga'hn is the Risian symbol of sexuality. To own one is to call forth it powers. To display it is to announce you are seeking Jamaharon."

Please remember to vote for one of these entries in your post, referencing the entry’s letter.


This week’s card is...

Card #29!

Card #29 must come between the newly minted Weyoun, Deceptive Diplomat (Personnel - Dominion - Card #26) and Shinzon, Forcing Their Hand (Personnel - Romulan - Card #33). This card will have to be a personnel, but we have a wide array of possible affiliations. Federation follows immediately after Dominion, but with so many subaffiliations it wouldn’t be unreasonable to have several Federation personnel.

Here’s what we have so far:

Dilemmas:

1. Evil’s Plans

(0) Evils Plans
Your opponent discards a personnel that could be played at his or her headquarters mission from his or her hand. That personnel's cost is added to this dilemma's cost. Unless you have the skills on that personnel, all your personnel are stopped.

"Roll it a little bit thinner, like this."

[Peers]

Vote: F 'cause we gotta get some Q-love in a set about Trek villains.

So... this personnel is Ferengi, Klingon, or Non-Aligned, then that means we can have a max of two Federation personnel in the set. Possibly less. But if it's Federation, then we only have three slots to devote to those three affiliations. This is a tougher decision than I was expecting.
