While I was disappointed that I didn't do too well despite planning ahead, these are some great flavor texts we have here. I voted for Pheonixfeather, Livienna, Cogito, Nurgling, Mewdrops and Tomerick (I'm feeling really generous in these mini-competitions for some reason). I don't get Sashashepto's flavor text, so if someone can explain it that would be nice.

What would be an interesting idea is if we had this type of competition for summoning and attacking sounds of the cards as well, though cards like Beasts, Totems, spells and weapons wouldn't really work for that (so there would most likely be a very limited supply of cards to use). Just a thought though.

Thanks for your vote!

also, it's a reference to a coup d'etat (coup is pronounced like Ku)

A 'coup d'état' is the full name for a military coup, ie the violent overthrowing of a government by an often military group. So you put those two together and things are gonna get messy.

I think a literal translation is revolution or something like that, it's been a long time since I took French.

That is actually a really good idea. Like you say, selection would be limited though, because spells and weapons are already not eligible, and then it would have to be minions that actually talk. Before the mods started doing these flavor text competitions as a tradition, I held my own flavor text competition for fun. You could try starting a thread where people come up with funny minions quotes.

Is there some way to make it less hard for late entrants to make the finals? I'm sure 'For when you've had Il'gynoth of your usual Hero Power' would have been here if there'd been more than an hour for people to vote for it.

These mini-competitions are far from perfect, because they're so short, which is their main point. In the actual competitions, you have at least a full day to vote for every entry.

Phoenixfeather: Seems a bit unconventional to use Braille. (Not Voted)

Livienna: I am a simple man. I see a pun. I vote for it. After all, in a time where puns are disrespected, we must learn to revere the puns. Press F5 to pay respects. (Voted)

Cogito_Ergo_Sum: 0/10. I don't believe in Zodiac pseudoscience. I'm a Gemini, and we're very skeptical. (Not Voted)

nurgling13: I'm a sucker for puns. Especially Blizzard-style puns. I'm disappointed you forgot to mention the Durabilitasaurus though. (Voted)

Mewdrops: If you can't tell, I like puns. It's a guilty pleasure to me, and pun-ishment to everyone else. (Voted)

thepowerofcheese: I like the use of irony, but it could use some more..."pizzazz". Especially for a dinosaur looking for the Origin of the Species (Not Voted)

Tomerick88: I can't exactly get the joke here. Is it "Do you think he's sore-us" or "Do you think he's compensating for something" or " Do you think he'll find us" or...? Either I'm too dumb (which is quite likely) or the pun is too ambiguous. (Not voted)

sashashepto: Very clever...NOW OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! COUPONS VOTRE TÊTE! (Voted)

ShadowsOfSense: Heh heh. Nice. I love wibbly wobbly timey wimey jokes! (Voted)

Ozymandias: Took me a while to get this one. It's referencing that Elite Tauren Chieftain song right? It may be a bit too obscure/old though. (Not Voted)

I think the joke is that it sounds like "Do you think he saw us". Took me awhile to get it, though. I had to say it out loud in my head.

Can someone tell me what is the Braille supposed to say? Or is it just random letters?

I like Tomerick's, Sashashepto's, Nurgling's, and my own, because I'm totally not biased.

The braille's supposed to say something like 'I just wasted three minutes of your life', according to Shadows (I asked the same question in the discussion thread).

Ended up voting for the two Manasaurus texts, got the most chuckles out of me.

I never got the Braille text until someone spelled it out for me, because I could never get the Braille translators to work, but it reads "I just wasted 3 minutes of your life," (directly mocking me)

So this is a flavor text of a flavor text of flavor text.

x = 1

y = 3

while x == 1:

print("This is a flavour text")

for i in range(1,y):

print(" of a flavour text")

print(".")

y += 1

End of Line suckers.
