the poet's acrostic trading post
The poet needs to buy words from you so that he can finish his poems! He'll give you a card for every letter you sell to him and a bonus card for every whole word you can provide.

Basically, you need to trade to spell your words! The first letter of either the CARD or the PLAYER you trade with are the letters you use to spell your words. You will have a week to do so.

Once a month there will be a longer phrase that you can work towards to submit for a special prize at the end of the month! The monthly phrase will also include some kind of extra parameter (player trades can only be with red/yellow level players, only even numbered cards, etc)

For example if the word of the week is DESK. To get a 'D' I can trade with Delitan or I can trade the card defeated07. For trading cards you can either be the person trading the card AWAY or the person RECEIVING the card.

For player trades though you MUST trade with someone else. So I can't use 'AJ' for the letter 'A'.

You cannot reuse the same player/card in one week. If the word is "EYE" you need TWO different players or cards that start with 'E'. You may not reuse a trade/card from a weekly challenge to fulfill the monthly challenge.
MONTHLY PHRASE: WEEKLY WORD: (SUBMIT) ✎
EEK, WINTER WIND BLOWS COLD!

VOWELS MUST BE WARM COLORED CARDS so that means your E, I and O trades must be Red, Yellow, Orange or Brown. CONSONANTS must be cold colors -- Blue, Green, Purple or Gray. The "," trade can only be fulfilled by a trade for a card with the number 13. The "!" trade can only be fulfilled by a signature card trade. If you complete all trades EXCEPT punctuation you will receive 27 cards (22 letters + 5 words), if you complete all trades WITH the punctuation you will also receive 2 random crayons!


MIRACLE
WORD: MIRACLE
TRADES:

R - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK
A - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK
C - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK
L - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK
E - (traded XCARD for YCARD with PLAYERNAME) LINK



Please provide links of your trade. If you use a website logging system please link your log. However it is preferred that you have a link somewhere as opposed to email/website logs just because it makes it easier to check. Thank you!
only trades dated between 11/16-11/30 will count*
the exception is for the monthly task, where only trades dated between 10/26-11/30 will count
* the date completed. So if you start a trade on the 15th and it ends on the 17th it's fine to use. However if you start a trade on the 17th and it ends on the 1st of Dec. it would not count. This is mostly to prevent trades from hanging over too far into the next week, I know it might be a little rushed that way but remember even if you can't get the whole word you can still get partial credit for most of the word!


EXTENDING the monthly's deadline to the 30th of November! Also the 'weekly' challenge will span over TWO weeks since I'll be pretty busy some things for the end of November!

Completion of the double-length weekly challenge (MIRACLE) will net you 1 extra random card and 1 crayon!


rewards for last week will go up later tonight, sorry! I got eaten by miniature food videos on youtube.
