TCG

A Trading Card Game also known as a TCG, is an online game where you participate in games, contests, surveys to earn cards and trade them with other members. The more cards you gain the higher up in levels you rise. The level you are on can be displayed using a level badge. The levels are as follows:

STARTING

When you join, you'll receive a total of nine cards to start you off. 3 cards will be from the favorite deck that you enter on the join form, 5 random cards worth 1, and 1 random card worth 2. You will also receive 1 pair of headphones and 1 microphone.

CARDS

Here at Heavy Rotation, there are two main types of cards:

» Regular decks worth 1 are split into three categories:
Musicians- includes all the general musician decks (female, male, groups & bands).
Music Videos- includes all the music video decks.
Other- includes all the decks that are not musicians or music videos, such as instruments, etc.
» Special decks worth 2 (sometimes 3) are split into two categories:
Albums- includes the album cover decks (9 piece puzzle series).
Special- includes the general special decks (ie Members Favs, Events, etc).

MUSICAL ITEMS

Musical Items are the coupon system for the tcg. Hover over item for exchange rates:


EARNING

There are many ways to earn cards. Here's how:

Games & Contests : There are many games offered on this site that will give you cards when you succesfully accomplish the tasks they ask of you. Some are harder than ohers. Most of the games use a password gate, in which you'll have to enter the correct answer to be taken to the prize page.

Level Up: When you level up you'll get one choice card + three random cards. Fill out a level up form. You don't get level up prizes for moving from level 0 (Pending) to level 1.

Mastering: When you master a set (when you have collected all the cards in a certain set) you get rewards for doing so.
Regular- one choice regular + three random regular cards.
Special- two choice regular + four random regular cards.
Once you master a deck you can no longer trade cards of that deck. Fill out a mastered form.

Donating: You can get various amounts of cards from donating badges, link buttons, and pictures for card decks.

Refferals: For every person you refer you will get 2 random cards.

Birthdays: To celebrate your birthday, you'll get some special prizes.

Freebies: Every once and a while I'll offer random freebies on the update page. Sometimes I'll give them out when I add new decks. Freebies will also be offered on special occasions.

TRADING

Once you join and earn cards you can trade with other members to help you master decks. All you have to do is visit the member list and search through it. Everyone must have a trade log. A trade log is where you put how you earn your cards. When filling out your trade log you must put exactly what games you played. Don't just put 'played games and got...." Be specific. Your trading page must have a link back to the TCG.

STAFF PAY

No staff as of yet. Am I playing?. Yep! My weekly pay will be 5 random cards and 1 random special. You guys should be getting 3 times that amount with the game updates and the extra ways to earn cards. Also if I don't update, I won't receive my weekly pay until I do. I feel that's fair. No salary advances over here. I won't be able to receive Musical Items either with the exception of the album coupon. In addition to weekly pay, I will get:

Creating Decks: Two random regular cards and whatever card worth I offer you when I release new decks.

Updating On time: Two random regular cards and 1 random special.
