The Orange Pranksters - backstaaaage :P

ORANGES!!! Hideout timeeee! Are you ready for the shoooow?! Well, this is the place to prepare and plan everything so welp :P now here goes



That's us - the best Colors Band :P I honestly believe we have an awesome squad, both in terms of fun and competition. So let's take a look at our lineup


I totally suck at HTML soooooooooooooooo bad sooooooooooooooooo bad indeed

I totally suck at HTML soooooooooooooo bad soooooooooooo bad indeed

I totally suck at HTML soooooooooooo bad soooooooooooo bad indeed

I do suck like really totally at this HTML thing sooooooooooooo bad

Yyyyup. Totally dominating this event ^^ That's a lot of people, I have to say. Some of you I know a little better, some I hope to get to know better in the upcoming month :) So, as the frontman at first I have to say what's it's alllll about - FUN! That's right~! We can achieve anything having FUN! It's a magical key to everything in this world. With enough effort, believing in ourselves and fun we can get anywhere we want! And you know what we want as our goal, right? VICTORY! Trust me, it's that easy.

As of some history, because I don't like the idea of a 'battleground' presented in Musical Magazine, Team Mikan was this close to winning last year's League! Me and Arianne were on that team, and we both experienced how everything becomes achievable with fun around ^^ You can check out our last hideout if you'd like/ Unfortunately little carelessness came around as well, but that didn't stop us from earning a much more worthy title - champions of fun! ;3 This year I'm sure we can get the official title of champions as well and have even MORE FUN, since the more the merrier, right?



That's where you guys come in. We'll need your heart in it as well. That's right. Your. We cannot succeed without acting like a team, each and every one of us. As the team captain I will be bugging you, that's for sure ;D I will ask you to answer to adequate comment below with "COMPLETE" once you've earned a note similarly to last year's system :3 I will also make a spreadsheet in google drive presenting our progress. Since there are no special tasks this year, we can concentrate on the games. It's really easy when you think about it. There'll be 16 games and to win we'll probably have to answer all of them. All of us. Think we can do that? I believe ;p Remember you have the whole rest of the team backing you up, ready to help out in any way - except for giving answers. That's cheating. Cheating's no fun. Uh-uh.

As for the less competitive stuff, I'd like to get to know you a bit better~! So I thought you could answer a few questions if you have time, it can somehow help us all learn a bit about each other :) I don't know about you, but I'm curious ^^
1) Tell us a little something about yourself. Just a brief 'who I am', maybe what series do you like and such
2) Is there a certain reason why you picked the Orange Team as your first/second/third priority?
3) What do you think about our genre?
4) What do you expect from the event?
5) What are the best ways of contacting you?

The last question surely is gonna help a lot in the event :3 Also, we all have our private stuff usually more important than the TCG, so if you know you're going to disappear for a few days, not going to answer games because of lack of time or just anything really, give me a shout! It's much more convenient :)

One last VERY IMPORTANT thing. Remember to include your name and the name of your team in your answer to the games~! It's VERY important. Without it, you don't get the point. And we learned how easy is to forget about that last year. Personally I think the easiest way is to always include your backstage pass in your answer. It states clearly who you are and HOW AWESOME IS OUR BEST TEAM, RIGHT?

Oh right, almost forgot. Take a look at our new totally awesome anthem :P yes, I'm totally gonna spam with SoaD as our genre :3



That's all for now, I think. Try to check out this page and its comments as often as you can, it helps alot. We can do it! Remember it's about FUN, FUN and one more time - FUN!!!

1) Silas. Aiming to be a professional cake decorator. I prefer video games over anime and manga, but I will indulge in those when I have the patience.
2) I love the color orange!
3) I love metal. Especially neo-classical, since it combines my love for metal and classical!
4) New cards, new peeps, and fun times.
5) PM's on DW, or plurk (mordio. please pm me before adding me since I get so many random invites)

IDK WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE POST it seemed okay to me! but whatever this seems more like a ☆secret hideout☆ so I'm definitely not complaining ahaha

1) Tell us a little something about yourself. Just a brief 'who I am', maybe what series do you like and such

HELLO I AM ANKARI I am a musician and idk ask me stuff???? I'm terrible at fandoms but right now I'm very much into The World God Only Knows and Black Lagoon. I'm also watching Rozen Maiden and Free! this season, and Prince of Tennis is my One True Fandom okok. /o\ Anyway, my cards probably reflect my fandoms better than I could say! Also I'm kind of an out-of-season gamer, by which I mean that I rarely play games when they first come out. Right now I'm playing Ni no Kuni on PS3, Animal Crossing on 3DS, Planescape Torment on PC! talk about slowpoke.gif (.gif because we're in Colors)

2) Is there a certain reason why you picked the Orange Team as your first/second/third priority?

I hadn't picked it at first but I'd thought about it, and then Nao said something to me about the Battle of the Bands and I decided to become a follower /o/ I like this team's philosophy of enjoyment and teamwork so yes

3) What do you think about our genre?

I love no-genres. And our no-genre screams Mr. Bungle to me! oh this album this album ohh. /// Mr. Bungle Mr. Bungle Mike Patton kyaa kyaa etc.

4) What do you expect from the event?

FUN 8D.
and cards! winning would be nice too but I'm not gonna obsess over it
also getting to know new people sounds great too :D

5) What are the best ways of contacting you?

Ohhh man. DMs on Dreamwidth, or comments, probably! I'm usually at home freelancing and my email notifs make a very distinctive noise, so it's a pretty immediate way to communicate with me. I have a Plurk but I have a very tsun relationship with it tbh

Aw yiss, secret hideout!!

1) Tell us a little something about yourself. Just a brief 'who I am', maybe what series do you like and such

~ Sup sup, call me Blue! (or Theo lol). Currently working full time and going to school for Art! I am a huge manga/anime/video game nerd (hence my love of this tcg lol) and honestly I have a crapton of fandoms (see my future decks list hoshit its huge). Right now I'm following Free! and Attack on Titan, and I'm a big lover of (and forever behind in) D.Gray-man, Naruto, and Bleach. I also love Dogs: Bullets & Carnage YEAH NAOCIAK GETTIN MY BADOU ON LOL (holy crap both my other options were picked! Ichigo and May wooot! And Naruto is up there too lol I didn't even think of him!)

2) Is there a certain reason why you picked the Orange Team as your first/second/third priority?

~ I have a weakness for the color orange. I also really like SoaD! XP

3) What do you think about our genre?

~ I think SoaD is the closest I get? Haha I sort of have an obsession with soundtracks of various kinds, but my playlists are definitely eclectic and full of all sorts of stuff XD

4) What do you expect from the event?

~ Shenanigans and lots of cards! And possibly some mutual crying over not knowing answers lmao

5) What are the best ways of contacting you?

~ Commenting on DW, pming on DW, or if you really wanna you can add me to Skype (chimerachainsaw) but please tell me that you're from colors when you add me so I know! =3

Okay finalllllly posting here lol.

1) Tell us a little something about yourself. Just a brief 'who I am', maybe what series do you like and such
I'm Arianne, and I've been playing Colors for about two and a half years now! I'm in my early twenties and work at a small private school in the US. Beyond that I'm pretty boring, lol. My hobbies are basically the standards - reading, watching anime, playing games, and listening to music.

There are way too many series I love, but I'd say my main fandoms are Sailor Moon, Slayers, Tiger & Bunny, Guilty Gear (XRD OMGGGGG), and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (omg down to one month till All Star Battle soooo excited).

2) Is there a certain reason why you picked the Orange Team as your first/second/third priority?
Orange is my favorite color! Plus I've been on the orange team for both of the previous leagues, so of course there's team loyalty.

3) What do you think about our genre?
lol I have to admit that my sole exposure to SOAD is this. I don't have much exposure to any metal, honestly! Judging by my Last.fm I'd say I mainly listen to rock and electronic, with a bunch of random stuff thrown in. But that said I'll take sick guitar riffs wherever I can get them.

4) What do you expect from the event?
Fun, of course! Beyond that, probably tons of trading. This round of the playground is already pretty intense. orz

5) What are the best ways of contacting you?
Commenting on my trade post, private messages, or e-mail if you'd like!

1) Hello, I'm Berri! I'm 22, but I love "old" magical girl series and girly stuff like that. I'm a lolita in both fashion and some lifestyle choices as well as a nerd. I hope to help you all out this year!

2) Mikan is the cutest.

3) I know nothing about it. Mikan is the cutest.

4) I hope to make friends with everyone and be helpful!

5) Skype, AIM, Plurk = TaiyakinoNaku . DW messages work too!

OFFERING HELP FOR POKEMON

[personal profile] frogberri 2013-08-01 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I have crayons I am willing to use for the event and lots of cards for art shop trading.

The crayons I have are; green, gray, orange, 3 purple

I can also trade a number of cards to help you guys out. Please do not hesitate to ask me. I might be a lower ranking member, but I can still lend a hand~!

[personal profile] ankari 2013-08-01 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I've put a stalker pin on this post (aka the track button: ), so I'm getting notifications every time someone comments to it! It's a great way not to forget about this place :D.

And yes it is pretty amusing hahah 8) My usual genre isn't present though (jazz & bossa nova)!

TBH I really did think backstage posts would be locked to team members! I'm still surprised they aren't :O

Naruto was the first one I thought of, glad to see someone else who appreciates him!!! <33

(this is ankari, posting with Naruto RP journal for icon purposes!)

That's no fair, his team's doing their own thing on Plurk where no one can see them.

Re: OFFERING HELP FOR POKEMON

[personal profile] ankari 2013-08-01 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Also if anyone has trouble figuring out what cards they need, let me know and I'll help out! The rules specifically say it's fine to ask other team members what card you need, after all |D

I've gone through my types and I will need a flying type and a fighting type for the challenge. What about everyone else?
frogberri: (Default)

[personal profile] frogberri 2013-08-01 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no no, sorry for the confusion. The pokemon I'm fighting are normal/fighting/grass/dark, and a Fighting type and Flying type would take those types out.
