I was bored and caught a flash of inspiration. I figured it would just take an hour or two, but it actually took several hours of image resizing and much copying and pasting of numbers. But, here it is: the Final Fantasy Wiki Triple Triad set.
Most of the number placements are rather arbitrary, I didn't play favorites. Also, no two cards are exactly alike - a few are similar, but none are identical. I'm also taking requests now. If you want me to make a card of you, I'll need the following:
Beyond that....that's it. Just something I did for fun, mock or applaud me as you wish. ^_^ Also, if for whatever reason you wish your card removed from this, just say so and I'll do it. Every member also has my permission to use their own card image for whatever purpose. | |||

So, this is what all that suspense was about? I must say, I laughed my ass off when I first saw these. Bravo, Drake. This is totally awesome. | |||

Looking at the forum titles, I knew immediately which one the numbers are for. Good job. But Galuf? Now I have to try to remember the rules of Triple Triad... | |||
*looks at MC's talk image*. Yup, Galuf. ^_^

So here I am browsing the Internet, reading a couple articles I was linked to on Facebook, talking to my housemates. And my adoptive mother—who is presently working on a website—asks me what a good skin/theme for a MediaWiki site is. And I'm like, oh I know one that I liked a lot! Oh, what was its name? I know, Wikia used to use it, so I'll go through my old talk page on the Final Fantasy Wiki and see if the name of it is in there. (I'm thinking of Monaco, btw. This is relevant, I swear.) In order to look at the old page I'm using a new username I made back in 2014, which I have because I didn't really want to be this Master Conjurer person I created over the years. Master Conjurer was this elitist asshole who liked to hit frustrating things with a big stick (metaphorically) and got even more frustrated when someone was caught in the crossfire. Sure, yes, a decent coder too, but too edgy. And loud. Meanwhile, I was this meek 24-year-old who had already long lost everything and learned to stop trying to get it back. I lived where someone who liked me enough had space, and I didn't leave home unless I was with someone or soon about to be. I was a kitten who couldn't bring herself to speak from the lips of a tiger. So I hid from my old self here in a lot of the same way I do irl. Not that I did much editing at the time anyway. So anyway, I'm on my other username and looking at my old page (this one) and I see the little dancing moogle thingy in the upper-right. I think, that's new, wonder what it is, and click it. And it's the first time I see these wonderful acknowledgements. Someone remembered work I had done half a decade before, and Scathe wrote a beautiful poem, and while I'm not a huge fan of having hunky Sabin represent me there's a convoluted way that it's fitting tbh. And so here I am, a 26-year-old paralyzed woman in a ragged farmhouse on a random mountain in the middle of nowhere, the antithesis to relevance, literally crying at a gesture made by people she hasn't talked to in years. I had more I was planning to write, but really I think for now I'm just glad I got that last part out. | |||
Actually, I didn't. Interesting. Well, simply put when I looked at it, I saw Galuf, so that's what I went with.

Heh. I must say this is very interesting. Too bad I don't have an image up at all....I know exactly what would work for my image if I had one. lol Xenomic 07:15, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was trying to think of the most active users for the first batch, and though I remembered you, you didn't have any talk or user images to use. >< Drake Clawfang 07:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- It's cuz I couldn't think of what to use for my image. I don't think there was any Nakoruru or Reimu images here....and I never bothered to upload or resize or anything the images that I'd normally use for that. ^^;; Xenomic 07:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Those look cool :) I was thinking of doing the same thing with Yugioh cards, but im not sure what kind of effects and stuff to make. | |||
Ooh! I would like to request. How about if you use the numbers 2734 (I don't pay attention to the card numbers, so tell me if it's already used) on this please. | |||
Hey, this sounds fun. Count me in. Use my talkpage pic, or if you have trouble with the size, use my userpage's (crop it down to the guy at the left for less work) I actually dont care for the pic. 4052's the number | |||
Are my numbers good or bad? I never touched this silly FFIX minigame. That Tetra Master stuff from FFVIII wasn't very fun to start with. (I mean really, who buys a video game to play a card game?) | |||
Interesting idea. User whichever pic you want. I'd prefer Squall but he's already up so I can go with Genesis too. And for the numbers, how 'bout 6-6-3-2 (I've always loved corner cards). @Blue: I liked Triple Triad, it makes it easier to get the good weapons. Tetra Master was useless though. @Conjurer: I actually end up with Faris or Lenna, and only on rare occassians Bartz. I've never actually seen Galuf on your info box. | |||
And something else just occured to me: What if this were turned into a game? Make a file for each card, make a template for a 3x3 play field and Users can set up games over the internet. Just a thought.--Werefang 12:30, 1 May 2009 (UTC) Template:TalkTextTest2

These are awesome, Drake! Mine looks very foreboding ^^ | |||

It also kicks mine's ass, with the exception of being placed below it. I assume the staff got "rare" cards? | |||
Yeah, Admins are clearly the best, with Mods below them, then normal members.
