[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: Danny!

This week’s card is...

Card #2!

Card #2 must come between Evil’s Plans (Dilemma - Card #1) and Gift of the Tormentor (Dilemma - Card #3). We’ve got a pretty tight range for this card, as it must be a dilemma starting with E, F or G.

[GooeyChewie]

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.
"And another thing. These villains always have a trick up their sleeve. Trapdoors, secret weapons."
By Danny

2. *in creation*
3. Gift of the Tormentor

(4) Gift of the Tormentor
Dilemma
Choose one: Your personnel are attributes +2 until the end of the mission attempt and your opponent scores 5 points; or lose 5 points.
"We have offered you a gift beyond all other gifts."
By GooeyChewie

4. I’m Going To Miss You

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.

I really like several of the cards this time, though.

1 Exterminate Co-conspirators
Place this dilemma on this mission. Each personnel who gains a skill while attempting this mission is killed at the end of that mission attempt. When you complete this mission, this dilemma is overcome.
And what about Tolar? Did you kill him too?!"

[Peers]

Place on this mission. When your personnel here is about to be stopped, reveal it; your opponent may kill his personnel here to kill the revealed personnel.
You fool, look around you! The planet's destroying itself!"

Exterminate Co-conspirators?

Vote A

(2) Forced Pleasantries
Draw up to two cards, then discard up to four cards from hand. Randomly select a number of personnel to be stopped equal to four minus the number of cards discarded.
"Would you excuse me?"

[Nate Winchester]

Vote A?

Uh... I'm still trying to learn dilemmas so by all means correct this (like I have no idea how the costs run yet). Thanks Mogor for the assist.

(4) Examine the Evidence Again
If you do not have a personnel with Law and (Honor or Security) and Integrity > 5, randomly select 3 personnel and this dilemma's owner chooses: kill those personnel or place them in their brig.
Your job is to find the truth. Not obtain conviction.

From Things Past - I couldn't decide whether to reenact the event from the past, or the mind trip. Went with the actual event for ease of text.

1 Eliminate Co-conspirators
