About

Twist Serve is a Prince of Tennis centered online trading card game. In an online TCG, you collect virtual cards, play games to earn more cards, and trade with other players to complete your decks. Decks at Twist Serve range from character decks with anime or manga art all the way to decks of our favorite Tenimyu actors. If you're a Prince of Tennis fan, you'll have lots to collect here!

This TCG is half website based, half livejournal based. You have to have an LJ account to play the games and interact with other members, but you do not have to host your cards on LJ. You may join with a website if you wish. Updates will be made via livejournal, so that's the place to follow! Things usually handled through forms or forums in other TCGs (like leveling up or mastering) are handeled through Livejournal in this TCG. Here is the livejournal community you should follow for updates.

Rules 1. You must host your cards on a website or an LJ post where other members can easily find your cards.

2. You must save the cards and upload them to your own image host. (such as photobucket.com) Please do not hotlink the images because we have limited bandwidth!

3. Your trading post should be easy to navigate. You should have a level banner, a link back to Twist Serve, your name, and your card count displayed. Your cards should be divided into sections such as a section for cards you're collecting, a section for cards you plan to collect in the future, and a section for cards that up for trade. You must have a detailed log where you keep track of how you got your cards and what trades you made. Here is a sample card post.

4. Trading logs must be detailed and include dates and specific cards that you earned. Instead of saying "Played games and earned some cards," list out the specific dates and cards, such as "October 6, 2010: Played Seiyuu Corner. Earned ponta01 and roses19."

5. To stay on the members list, you must update at least once a month or declare a hiatus. At most, you may claim freebies from the latest 4 updates.

6. Please be honest and don't cheat by saving cards you didn't earn or consulting other people for answers to games.

7. Please do not harrass other members. Treat each other with respect!

8. Most importantly, you must LOVE Prince of Tennis and be passionate about it, or else you'll become bored here.
