Star Trek CCG Tenth Anniversary Contest #2:
Skilled Labor
April 16, 2004 – CONTEST IS CLOSED
I thought about calling this one "The Second Contest," but decided
that probably fell in the category of a "funny once", so... what,
you didn't think it was funny even once? Never mind, this contest has a
real name. It's about those things that generally have little red dots in
the skills box on personnel cards, or at least some of them – the ones
we call "regular skills" in First Edition and just "skills"
in Second Edition ("special skills" having morphed into the less-confusing
"abilities"). Show us just how skilled you are when it comes to
skills, and you could win some Tenth Anniversary Collection foils!
