Anyway, the last time we held a Pokémon event (which was in 2016) I created three user groups that could change your username color to represent Water-type, Fire-type, or Grass-type. I want to bring that back in a sense but a lot more open, so here's how it will work:

• Choose any Pokémon to have as a small image next to your username. If you want the Shiny version of it, please state as such.
  
• Choose a username color.
  
• Your Pokémon themed username will be active for 7 days from when it is applied.
  

Requests for a Pokémon themed username will be open until the end of March 8.]]>

  UNIVERSAL GAMING CARD NFT'S!  

Now, everyone knows that monkeys are the superior mascots of this wonderful trend, and so I have decided what better way to pay homage to our wonderful simian friends than to use monkeys from various video games on all these shiny new cards!

       

Aren't they just majestic?

These cards feature a special gold foil finish, mined by the space racoons of Sector 1337. Each of these cards are one of a kind, and you can be the lucky owner of one by placing a bid for the ones you want! If no one else tops your bid, then it is yours to do whatever you wish with! Bribe another member with them, ruin your profile with them, print it out and wipe your arse with it, the possibilities of awful things are endless!

Disclaimer: Moonface is not responsible for any incidents of these NFT cards being copied and pasted by other users into their signatures. You'll still be the proud owner, but you may no longer feel like a special little prince or princess. I also reserve the right to send a real monkey to your house to maul you should you in any way attempt to threaten me or sue me over this disclaimer. Also, praising NFT's in this post hurt to write and I wish to be clear I think they are awful and a joke and that's why I chose them as the prank for this year (to mock them).]]>
  UNIVERSAL GAMING CARD NFT'S!  

Now, everyone knows that monkeys are the superior mascots of this wonderful trend, and so I have decided what better way to pay homage to our wonderful simian friends than to use monkeys from various video games on all these shiny new cards!

       

Aren't they just majestic?

These cards feature a special gold foil finish, mined by the space racoons of Sector 1337. Each of these cards are one of a kind, and you can be the lucky owner of one by placing a bid for the ones you want! If no one else tops your bid, then it is yours to do whatever you wish with! Bribe another member with them, ruin your profile with them, print it out and wipe your arse with it, the possibilities of awful things are endless!

Disclaimer: Moonface is not responsible for any incidents of these NFT cards being copied and pasted by other users into their signatures. You'll still be the proud owner, but you may no longer feel like a special little prince or princess. I also reserve the right to send a real monkey to your house to maul you should you in any way attempt to threaten me or sue me over this disclaimer. Also, praising NFT's in this post hurt to write and I wish to be clear I think they are awful and a joke and that's why I chose them as the prank for this year (to mock them).]]> https://universalgaming.net/showthread.php?tid=1013 Thu, 30 Dec 2021 12:08:09 -0800 Moonface]]> https://universalgaming.net/showthread.php?tid=1013

And just so that you didn't waste your time reading a rather dull announcement, if you didn't get it yet, go grab your free name colour!]]>

Just let me know what colour you want and it shall be yours! If you already have a colour either from the store or an event (I know Birthday Bash colours haven't been given yet, I will do it soon) then I can either add the 10 days onto your existing colour or you can ask for a different colour to be given for those 10 days and I'll just change it as necessary.

If you celebrate the holiday, let us know how your Christmas or other celebration was in our Christmas 2021 thread. ]]>
