POL Argument Cards

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 30 Jul 2005, 22:17

Phew. Warm in here recently. I humbly offer the following attempt to cash in on the latest "arguing" craze which has swept POL with these Argument Cards which I have designed myself using art.

These collectable cards offer a fun way to learn important life survival skills like Diplomacy and Spite. The initial 25 deck "starter pack" provides POLers and others with a great new playground game. Trade insults, learn new tactics and try to bring down your opponents.

Designed primarily for the inner child, but may be suitable for adults. Watch out for limited editions,other special varieties of card, imitations and spin-offs.

Let battle commence!

Absolutely brilliant Dada

I always thought it but now I'm sure...you are 27 cards short of a full deck

"In time, in time." (one of my favourite Exorcist quotes)

Glad you liked that card Foxy, did my best to appeal to a wide market for this product.

Heh. I'm going to license aggressively and make sure I retain all the rights to the "artwork", whilst spreading the franchise amongst other forums.

Stickers, cards, bubblegum, Xmas single, ringtones. It all starts here.

I wish to play my "Pre-emptive Strike"and "Tokyo Rose" cards...will you be giving all profits to charity (or perhaps a political party of your choice) or straight to the offshore account

Ooh! This is such a good idea. How about some special limited edition 'glossy' ones? You could have a Mata Hari one where the poster uses their charm and allure to lull their opponent into a sense of false security? Or a SIW one like the First World War soldiers who shot themselves in the foot had to wear?

SIW I take it means Self Inflicted Wound - yes, good one. There could be a whole sub-genre of espionage cards - I might do them as their own deck.

Limited Edition is a definite - I might even use my silver & gold pens.

I'm a bit puzzled about the missing 25 th card. What are you hiding up your sleeve ?

Epykat · Post by **Epykat** » 31 Jul 2005, 19:45

I liked the six fingered nuclear option

Makes a change from the two fingered salute which I quite often want to give you Dada

It is clear Dada loves this place. Inspired and inspiring, Absolutely marvellous.

Tanks pal. It's the rich Japanese export collector market I really want to exploit - plus any stock left-over when that market saturates can be re-imported back here and sold at inflated prices to the nerd market.

Porty complained today that the links to the cards were broken.

Duly fixed - my apologies.

Great stuff.
I especially liked Carpet Bombing and Dunkirk Spirit.
Are you doing a limited collectors edition?

I'm sure Mr Arachnid would like to try the high ground card but wouldn't succeed!!!!

I thought about it but haven't come up with anything new yet.

You can make trading cards online here :

It's just one of a bunch of "flickr toys" - you can turn photos into movie posters etc. Great waste of time!!

If I ever get round to it, Porty is due a small set of cards all to himself - although the cleverness of his attacks mean that they always include an element of deniability/ambiguity - meaning that the moment I published the cards themselves, he could immediately deny using any of the tactics detailed whilst demanding proof that he ever used them!
