To enter the contest, you must post in this topic between now and the end of the contest so I know who to calculate points for at the end.

NationStates is running a trading card collection game this week, but it's a little dull, so I thought of a way of sprucing it up by making it a contest! Between now and the end of the event in a week, collect as many Citizenship nation* cards as possible on your own Wintreath nation. Then, at the end of the week, we'll assign points to each card based on their Wintrean positions and rarity in the card game. Point values are below, and points accumulate if the Citizen has multiple positions:

Monarch - 10
Jarls - 7
Underhusen Speaker - 6
Overhusen Chairman - 6
Thanes - 4
Skrifa - 3
Peer - 3
Paragons - 3
Citizen - 2

These values are then multipled by the rarity of their nation's card to get the final points each are worth! To make it a little easier, I have already calculated the points for each government official:

60 - Laurentus (Laurentus States) - 20 x 3(Rare) = 60
44 - Wintermoot (Wintermoot) - 22 x 2(Uncommon) = 44
36 - BraveSirRobin (Andromedian) - 9 x 4(Ultra Rare) = 36
27 - Doc (French Albania) - 9 x 3(Rare) = 36
24 - Pengu (Penguin Dictators) - 6 x 4(Ultra Rare) = 24
18 - Crushita (Newberia) - 9 x 2(Uncommon) = 18
18 - Gerrick - (Geramundo) - 9 x 2(Uncommon) = 18
15 - Dawsinian - (Dawsinian) - 5 x 3(Rare) = 15
10 - Gattoartico (Gattoartico) - 10 x 1(Common) = 10
10 - Aragonn (Aragonn) - 5 x 2(Uncommon) = 10
08 - Wuufu (Wuureath) - 8 x 1(Common) = 8
08 - Chanku (Terra cinis tonitrua et justitia) - 8 x 1(Common) = 8
06 - taulover (Alcubierre) - 6 x 1(Common) = 6
06 - Amalya (Blueroom) - 3 x 2(Uncommon) = 6
05 - Mathyland (Mathyland puppet) - 5 x 1(Common) = 5

All Other Citizens would be 2 x ?(Rarity) = Points

Laurentus and Aragonn have no Wintreath nation at the moment, so I used their New Hyperion nation instead, just cause I so want you to be able to catch the entire government.

In addition, we have quests!
Quest: The Gift of Charity
Quest: Spamming the Deck
Quest: The Rarer Than Green Cards of Wintreath

No value for paragons?

I just started collecting.

I didn't think to add Paragons as a group because they're not generally active or maintain a nation, but I added you in with a point value of 6 (3 for Paragon x 2 for Uncommon). I'm not combining it with Citizenship points, since technically Paragons are Citizens without the requirements, but you're on the board.

So in this, cards from other regions are worthless and should be burned at the steak?

Ha, I'm ultra rare on here too?

At the moment they don't factor into the game, but you never know what ideas I'll come up with as the week goes by.

You might change the rules of the contest as things go on? That's rather annoying for long-term strategy...

Also, aw, my main NH nation is more rare than my Wintreath nation, why can't that be the card I'm looking for?

Edit: was excited to find Gerrick's nation, then realized it was just his puppet

Edit 2: I think I have 2 of Gerrick's puppets

...So, in the name of future proofing, I'll go ahead and keep all New Hyperion cards just in case.

Welp, time to start collecting.

I started collecting last night.

What is the value for former Underhusen speakers or former Jarls since I have a couple of those?

Any points for former citizens? Found one who was active on the forums c. 2013-2014.

I've a card that's literally BraveSirRobin and was shocked it was the wrong nation. But hey, found myself, BSR's actual nation, Doc's nation, and Amalya's.
Edit: and an ex-nation, which is pretty sweet.
Edit2: Found Laurentus States!! Yay, I can go home now.

You didn't find it, you bought it from someone else.

Was considering +0.01'ing a buy offer up from yours, but decided not to.

I still think commendation recipients and nobility should get added value.

No, I found it. I found it in my deck, somehow, mysteriously. =P
Yay for not +0.01-ing to death.
