Oh... man, I sure wish I could have gone to it... =(

But even if I had the chance, I couldn't really have traded much: I only had 10 cards in my binder...

Oh well, maybe next year! =D

reading these messages, although I didn't play makes me think that you might want to start it on a weekend when no one had the conflictions of work or school

I must say I agree with the starting on a weekend. I didn't even have a chance to play really. I logged on at work and only got to answer questions.
Oh well, it sounds like everyone had a blast, and the cards I received are AWESOME... Great job everyone!
I would love to play again!

I'm trying to keep the wiki updated with links to blogs where people are posting their LTCs. I think it's very helpful to new folks (and some of us that are not so new) to see what others are doing or have done. Thanks to GJ for bring so thoughtful to start the trend. Her blog is at the top of the list.

It now looks like this.

If you have a blog where you post your LTCs, please let us all know!

I have lots of the LTC's left over that I did for the "challenge" and for Live and Breath.

It is called "oil painting" So if you want to trade let me know.

Just because the murder has been solved that doesn't mean you can't play and try to figure it out for yourself. I'm available to reply to suggestions!!!

a variant of the clue game that was just played... I've had some questions from participants on how this will work, plus there's some openings left, so to clear things up and do a little advertising all at once, here's how it's going to work...

you sign up, and then aqmail me and give me a suspect, weapon, and location. suspects cannot be living persons. nothing can have duplicate names. other than that, anything goes.

nobody actually makes any cards. (except me, later)

once we have a full tracker, I will assign everyone a partner. yes, you will need a partner, because there will be 20 suspects, 20 weapons, and 20 locations to weed through. you can aqmail back and forth as much as you want with your partner. I will also assign each person someone they are not talking to. you may not aqmail the person you are not talking to, in order to ask them a question. if they aqmail you, you must only say, "I'm sorry, I'm not talking to you."

I will shuffle all the suspects, weapons, and locations. then (so that I can play too) my daughter will pick out who did it, with what, and where. I will not know what the solution is. my daughter will then aqmail everyone with which evidence they have. everyone will have different evidence. everyone will have one suspect, one weapon, and one location.

when the game starts, you can talk with your partner as much as you like, and share information freely between you. each of you may email each participant of the tracker (except the person each of you is not talking to) once each day. (if any one person asks you two things in the same day, only answer one of them. remember that statements have three items in them, but you only have to clear one of the items...if you can...if you can't, then just say so...the "neither confirm or deny" answers today drove me crazy)

when you have figured out the solution, then one of you aqmails my daughter with your accusation. (tell her who your partner is, when you make an accusation) if you're wrong, you're out. if you're right, you're a winner. I will make first and second place cards for both members of the first and second place teams.

interested?? sign up here

My binders are organized by trailname. This makes it so easy to see what I have from any LTCer at any given time. However, that means that swaps are scattered throughout the pages. This does not bother me, except in this case where people wouldn't be able to appreciate the scope of the game. These cards and this game are/were just to fun to separate.

Here's my plan: Arrange the cards on black velvet, along with various items from the Clue board game, the Clue envelope that dewberry made for us and something to indicate the frenzy of the game itself. Then mat and frame. I may do it in three to five frames or just one large one; I'm leaning toward multiple frames because then I can arrange them gallery or cluster style.

BUT I don't want to skip these cards in the binders, which as I mentioned is how I know what cards I have of yours. So, I am asking if I can make a color copy of the front of your cards for the book, with a note on the back explaining where the originals are.

Thanks!

Draygonflies -

Wow - you'll have a nice display when you are done. Sounds impressive.

I see no problem with copying the cards. They are yours - and you are just making another for your own use.

However, if you'd like to trade me something - AQ mail me - and I'll send you another original card of mine. There may be others that would be willing to help you have 2 sets of cards. All I ask is you send me a picture of your end results - I'd love to see what you come up with.

This swap has been alot of fun. I hope to do it again. Wyvern did a GREAT job - especially for being her first time hosting.

I don't know about that! Come visit my former dining room now ART/LTC/ATC studio.. you may retract that statement! But I do want to display them.. they are so cool. I also thought that it would be fun to take to some events (probably not the camping trip) and let people see them.

ohhh! Can I get a guesstimate of the number of emails that each of you received? I think it would be fun to share that info in the display too.

Guesstimate of emails ---

I just counted - I sent 89 emails
I received 83 emails

This is for the entire game - messages sent and received thru this morning.

Some people were including little scenerios in their email guesses and replies. You might put some of those in there. We had some clever ones in this bunch!

Thanks! I'll be sure to post pics when they are finished.

I see no problem with copying the cards. They are yours - and you are just making another for your own use.

I guess growing up with an artist puts me into the, "Artist retains all rights to the work; even if you buy it you can't copy it" mindset. I figure it's just polite to ask.

if you'd like to trade me something [for]... another original card

I'm fine with photocopies in my books. I'd much rather trade you for your other cards! LOL (greedy grubby pirate that I am)

Several of the ATCs that I used to have were prints of their original work. This is perfectly acceptable in the ATC world. Although you may get a couple of prints for your originals if the artist is so inclined.
