NationStates

Cards Against NationStates: https://www.nationstates.net/page=cards

While we don't have a fancy submission tool, we are taking submissions for new cards, but please be mindful of the following guidelines:

1. Keep it PG-13 please. (No direct swear words/obscene language. Euphemisms, on the other hand...)
2. When submitting ideas for new black cards, remember that at this time the system can only handle single-card responses. "I like ______!" not "I like ______ because of ______."
3. When submitting ideas for new white cards, be mindful of the syntax. While some wonkiness is to be expected with some card combinations, "a/an/the <noun>", plural nouns, and "<verb>ing" statements are typically going to match up the best.
4. The wackier, the better!

If the digital beta works out, hopefully we can move forward with plans for a purchasable dead-tree edition!

EDIT TO ADD:
Current total deck count (white + black cards) = 1688

EDIT: Also any chance of a chat feature?

We should probably introduce a policy that articles (a/an/the) go either on exclusively the black cards or exclusively the white cards.

I'd second that

White cards:
Luziyca
Esquarium
Namor
They stole my money.

Black cards:
The freest nation in Esquarium is <noun>
Jolt is the best thing since <noun>

Blank cards are a no, for a variety of reasons. Partially coding, and partially the need to ensure that the game stays (relatively) PG13, as Reppy said above.

Same goes with a chat, but for different reasons - largely due to the complications of coding a chat within a webgame that was put together in the past few days, I'd expect.

White cards:
Gorespam
Moon Nazis
TimeCube
Terrible RPing

Also, would it be possible to make the list of cards available somewhere? Maybe it is and I just haven't found it, but it would help with not suggesting things that are already cards.

Not that I'm aware of. The longer you play, the more cards you'll see. And the Card Adding System will auto-reject any duplicates.

Instead of ike, I enjoy _______

Question, when the new cards are added, will they be added to in progress games or will we have to start a new one?

I didn't code the game, but I'd expect that when new cards are added, they're added to the list of "possibles." i.e. they won't be added to your hand immediately, but when you go to draw a new card, I'd think it would include newly added cards.

"Huzzah! Huzzah! Our raider region charged through the last major update. We tagged the following regions!

<Player submits 3-5 cards>"

Okay, some more white cards:
A murder that results in a war breaking out because one of your agents allegedly did it.
Being invaded by Japan through southeast Asia because you focus all of your defensive forces on the Korean peninsula to keep them from coming in.
Esquarium merging with Elysium and Sondria.
Karinizistan launching a glorious revolution against the mods!

White Cards:
Dio Brando
José Mourinho
Freedom Fries
Flying Xylophones
The Statue of Cristiano Ronaldo
El Salvador's National Football Team
Poutine
Quinnipiac
Spock

Black Cards:
The next April Fools' Easter Egg will be <noun>
Nobody expects the <noun> Inquisition!
The next NCAA March Madness will include <noun>
They say <noun> is very popular at NS Sports.

Love And Liquor
(White card)

White Card:
Tralala
White Gold
Michael McCarthy
Farnhamia

We're not likely to add nation names or region names to the White cards. This game has to be playable by all of NS, even the ones who don't read forums or RMBs, so let's stay away from regional / RP politics too.
