RE: Halloween Birthday Bash 2021 - Mr EliteL - Dec 3rd, 2021

I'll use my 4 candy for 2 Universal Gaming Cards, plz.


RE: Halloween Birthday Bash 2021 - ShiraNoMai - Dec 5th, 2021

I'll get 2 cards with mine and a week of a colored name: An aquamarine color will do.


RE: Halloween Birthday Bash 2021 - Karo - Dec 12th, 2021

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Victory for me! I'd like the paypal $20 and the serie for the UG card I choose will be Final Fantasy XIV! All shall behold the critically acclaimed MMORPG now with a free trial with unlimited play up to the award winning Heavensward expansion and with award winning queues due to the Endwalker expansion coming out! Grin Oh and for my name I'd like it to be a pink again.


RE: Halloween Birthday Bash 2021 - Moonface - Dec 12th, 2021

I can make you a FF14 card @Karo (maybe I'll update the shiny FF one with that game) but generally the new card added is for a series than a specific game so I wouldn't do a FF14 set and a regular FF set. So what non represented game series would you want? Smile


RE: Halloween Birthday Bash 2021 - Karo - Dec 12th, 2021

Hmm I was wondering could you do a third tier of cards and put FFXIV on that? It will also give an excuse for Night Lord to quest for the next tier of all miku's XD Anyways as for what series to add next I'm going to say Phoggies because they are adorable.

PS: If you do decide to make the FFXIV card don't use derplander I know some people like derplander, but I find him to be kinda boring. XD
