The Runouw Playing Cards is an ambitious project which aims to design a Runouw-inspired Poker deck of playing cards - composed of 4 suits of 13 cards and 2 jokers. In this deck, each of the 54 cards will feature a past or present member of the Runouw community; and the final product will serve as a testament of the rich history of the Runouw forums.
It is my personal opinion that the deck should be considered as a tribute to the Runouw community and the Runouw history, and its history as the whole. As a result, the main argument for the inclusion of a member in the deck is his/her impact on the site - be it positive or negative. Therefore, it is not out of the question for infamous, permanently banned members to be part of the project. Current relevance and worth - as a human being - might also be considered, but will hardly affect the decision if the member's impact was major.
After a member has been selected to be present in the deck, he/she will be assigned a specific card - both a suit and a rank. The suit of the card will represent the member's own strong suit. SPADES (♠) cards will mostly depict members known for their leadership and decision-making skills, who have previously been in charge of notable projects or groups. Members found in the DIAMONDS (♦) suit have made good use of their intellect over the years, whether it was through coding feats, meticulously crafted pieces of work or extensive scientific knowledge. The HEARTS (♥) suit will quite fittingly represent the members who have shown large amounts of kindness, compassion or selflessness during their time on the forums. Finally, CLUBS (♣) will be associated to members who have dedicated their time here to entertain us with either powerful stories, exceptional levels and art, unforgettable jokes... or all at the same time.
Finally, the member's role will determinate his/her card's rank. The larger the mark the member left on the site is, the higher his/her card's value will be. As such, most face cards are reserved for past and present Moderators and Global Moderators.
The 54 Runouw Playing Cards are organized in this table.
This project will be handled differently this time. This time, I will not try to complete cards - outline, colors, card design - regularly. I'd rather start with what I'm the confortable with: drawing. After drawing the 54 cards (which probably accounts for more than half the work, what with brainstorming, looking up references and the actualy drawing) and being such a long way into the project, coloring cards and completing cards in rapid succession will be thrilling. I'll also pick which member I'll draw, instead of letting luck decide. This will allow me to work at my own pace, in my own way, which is much less stressful.
However, I will still try to give you guys something from time to time, such as sneak peeks at milestones.
(5/54 cards drawn)
LATEST CONTENT UPDATE:
The second update!
I've been asked a few times: "Why limit yourself to 54 cards?" I've opted for the format of a regular deck of cards - instead of, for example, collector cards or trading cards - for a simple reason. I don't want this project to be potentially endless; I feel I need an end goal, some ultimate event I'm looking forward to, in order to boost my motivation. But for those concerned that I might leave out some members, you don't have to worry. I will consider creating "extension packs" to the deck if the need arises. Just keep in mind this will probably only happen after the deck is complete.
Potential extension ideas: Knights (4 cards), STARS (✦) suit (13 cards)

>Implying I will be here
I have blonde fairly long hair, I have big green eyes, I am short-medium, I have medium sized mouth and nose (I think) and I have two ears. I wear jackets (being open and with the hood on) and T-shirts (one in particular I like is a blue one that says "Liberté" on white). I wear jeans. I also like how katanas look. Also, it'd be cool if I could have a ninja headband, since that seems to be my main characteristic on these forums (my narutoness). Is that enough?

My picture's in the photo album, but since the lighting's a bit weird, my hair is actually middle brown colour and my eyes are actually blue. 
The below image is a montage of my individual highest placing LDC creations, as a reminder to myself that level designing is a part of my life that I can't just leave behind

Because I'm going to be there. I hope.
I have long brown hair, blue eyes, average size and a normal face. I would prefer to have my MC clothes, which are a black T-shirt, with an open Purple jacket, blue jeans and white sneakers. I'd like a pair of Blue-tinted, black rimmed sunglasses hanging above my eyes. I'd like to be holding the Ocarina of Time. Because I can.

After a few minutes in chat, here are some changes that have been made to the tables:
Also a bit of help that is not describing yourself could be nice (though I appreciate it) :3
- Aro will be replaced by our new Story Mod, Tune4Toons (TIL Tune is a girl).
- The "long-gone members" will now include Linkdroid, 24murph/level4 (TBD), RedLink and Mr_SaxMan.
- Kevin and Brando are the new guys in the Clubs category, respectively getting the places 6 and 9, if you see what I mean. Mega will join them later.
- The 3s have been fixed:
- SPADES: Linkdroid, for creating and leading the Anti-MoD group.
- DIAMONDS: 24murph/level4, because they are remembered for their incredible levels.
- HEARTS: Mr_SaxMan, because seriously, he was a true friend.
- CLUBS: RedLink, for being goddamn RedLink (aka he is funny)
- The 2s have been fixed:
- SPADES: Koopa Yoshi, for leading a complete site against Runouw.com.
- DIAMONDS: Worst_Master, for his incredible levels still referenced to today.
- HEARTS: TrappedTime because I hardly imagine Raymond in "Kindness".
- CLUBS: Raymond, for highly being the main villain in many many MANY Forum Stories.
Also a bit of help that is not describing yourself could be nice (though I appreciate it) :3

I would vote for StarF, MICrophone, Stoneheart, and Nwolf for spades, Genowhirl, Karyete, Alucardx60, MK, Zed98, and Volcove for diamonds, Zebtrestalala, lordpat, and Usuario for hearts, and Ridder, Oranjuice, SomeOne, and Bogdan for clubs.
As for what people look like, there is always the References Thread.
Also, good job. This looks cool.

Hey, Star King. I really appreciate the chance to get on a Runouw playing card, though I'm not necessarily sure that I represent the forum in a fairly positive way. You really are a good friend, and I'm honored to be chosen for a card, though I just think that these cards should be given to those who made (are making) a bigger impact on the forum than someone like me, since I just made a level or two, became a washed up level mod, and happened to quit the forum a while ago.

OK, Saxxy. . .
No.
You have done a LOT more than you can see. You're focusing on the tangible things you have done. But what about the things you can't directly see? Things that won't be jotted down in the history books, but change lives nonetheless? Look, you said it yourself:

You made friends here. You formed bonds. I couldn't care less about what levels you made. I don't care about what color your username was or for how long. One bond of friendship is worth more than a thousand great levels. You have formed many bonds. And saying you don't affect the forum in a positive way. Pah! All the friends you made, THEY are the forum. You affected them, you befriended them. That most definitely gives you appropriate reason to represent the forum, and you certainly do it in a positive manner.
ok good

Sounds quite interesting. I think Harmless could get added too.
And maybe me. :3

Big thank you to FrozenFire who created this masterpiece. : )
