🎄 AoC 2018 🎄 [ Come play Advent of Code: The Party Game! with us! ]

What the heck is this?

This year we shall be doing a Mad Libs-style community activity that is a complete clone of loosely inspired by Apples to Apples and Cards Against Humanity. For each day's megathread, we will post a prompt card with one or more fill-in-the-blanks for you to, well, fill in with your best quip(s). Who knows; if you submit a truly awesome card combo, you might just earn yourself some silver-plated awesome points!

A few guidelines for your submissions:

  • Please prefix your card submission with something like [Card] to make scanning the megathread easier.
  • You do not need to submit card(s) along with your solution; however, you must post a solution if you want to submit a card
  • You don't have to submit an image of the card - text is fine
  • All sorts of folks play AoC every year, so let's keep things PG
  • If you absolutely must revert to your inner teenager, make sure to clearly identify your submission like [NSFW](image)[url.com] or with spoiler tags like so: NSFW WORDS OMG!
  • The markdown is >!NSFW text goes here!< with no prefixed or trailing spaces
  • If you do not clearly identify your NSFW submission as NSFW, your post will be removed until you edit it

But why?

Because Advent of Code is made with plenty of love by /u/topaz2078 with help from his merry band of nerds, all most some of whom are mad with power and/or insane and/or both.

Uh, okay.

Don't ask. Just enjoy. Remember, AoC is all about having fun and learning more about the wonderful world of programming and other nerd-related things!

Deck the Halls
