Homeworld trading cards competition

[Tombo1]

Tygre:

I want a pet tasmanian tiger. (That would run for what...$5 billion?) 'Tis a schnazzy looking animule.

Dude. Theyre extinct. GG

[Dan Van Crone]

I think that's why there's a 5 billion dollar price tag attached, since it would involve cloning, or inventing a time machine or something like that.

[medamanx]

Every year there are scattered sitings, and some from reputable sources, so don't count your extinctions before they occur.

[Tygre]

Unsuspecting supermodel: "WTF animal is that?" (pointing at my t. tiger as I walk it past on a leash)
Unsuspecting supermodel's equally sexy friend: "It's gimped is what it is."
Tygre: "It's a tasmanian tiger. It was extinct, but since I love animals so much, I paid $5 billion to have one cloned."
Both: "AWWWWWW!!!"

[Murph]

tygres should be endangered.

[skywalker]

even so I don't think this tygre will have much of a problem removing himself from the gene pool. future darwin awards candidate ding ding ding

and how could I ever create a card attempting humor in the face of dyn's hilarity?

[blackjack]

how can you clone an extinct animal?

I'm too lazy/busy to make a card in time, so I'll just go and create and print and sell some HW cards later.

[John Sheridan]

bj: They need remains of the creature (bones don't work), from which they can extract genetic fragments. If they can collect the full genome, they can use enymes to rebuild a full set of chromasomes, which they can inject into a stem cell. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to collect the entire genome of an extinct species.

I really hope they are keeping genetic records of specimens of endangered species, so we can clone them if they die out. Seems smart to me.

They almost had enough material to clone the Dodo, from old specimens, but there wasn't a full genetic record

[Dan Van Crone]

Well see in that situation you just need to replace the missing parts of the genome with something else, like... I dunno.. a SHARK or something.

How could would that be? A genetically crossed Dodo/Shark.

There's ONE muthafxcker who's not going to be extinct again any time soon.

[Seeker]

Lol DVC

Too much movies.

[Mr-e-Man]

Too much IC.

[Aquarius]

[Tygre]

Excellent. I am the penny to this thread's Amtrak.

[John Sheridan]

I would make more cards, but am currently too busy remaking Megaman in Flash.

[Alliance]

a cloned snark would be cool!
for those that dont know what a snark is, buy half life...

[Mac_Bug]

So I take it this 'competition' has ended and voting booths should be setup? - Be sure to become registered voters those of you lurking without an account!

[ionfish]

Mac, just waiting for a couple of people who said they'd be entering to finish up their cards, so the competition will be winding up in the next couple of days.

[Rampage]

Man! I have been gone for ... [no idea] and this thread is [somewhere]

Well, here's another card:

But keep in mind in the last Homeworld mission, the Bentusi arrives at the end of the mission with this ship as the Bentusi High Counsel.

BENTUSI: We have brought the counsel.

[Multiple Hyperspace Signatures - All Yellow]

[Delphy]

Actually Rampage thats the *Galactic* council. If you recall a few missions before they mention that they'll summon the council. That means it's not *thier* council, but the galactic ones.

Thats definately a T-Mat ship

[turanic prowler]

that t-mat megaship is strong for a card

[Dyntheos]

Repost as filenames have changed

They actually have preserved one of the nuts from a Tasmanian Tiger. They want to use the long frozen nut to make more.
