Reflections Contest #1:
Curses! Foiled Again!
November 17, 2004 – RESULTS
One unique aspect of foil cards is that a separate mask must be made for
the foiling process. The black portions of the mask are not foiled,
while the white portions (usually light sources and highlights) receive
the foil treatment. Sometimes the mask looks very much like the finished
card image, but other times it's a bit more obscure. In this contest, you
get to see what the foil masks for some of the Reflections cards look like
– and if you can figure out the species of the person(s) shown, you
could win!
Below you'll find portions of the foil masks for ten of the new Reflections
foils (not reprints). Some are personnel cards, others are "verbs"
(dilemmas, events, or interrupts). What you see is most of the actual image
area on the card, cropped enough to remove borders and icons (because they
might help to identify the species). For each one, choose what you think
is the species of the person or persons in the image. (If there is more
than one person in the image, they are all the same species.) If you believe
the person shown is of mixed species, select that option. For example, if
the character was recognizable as Mr. Spock, you would select "Mixed
Species", not Vulcan or Human.
The Prizes
- First place: one display box of Reflections packs
- Runners-up: 12 Reflections packs each
The Answers

Mixed species. Nearly everyone got this wrong. Alexander Rozhenko,
K'mtar is 3/4 Klingon and 1/4 human.

Romulan, from Star Trek Nemesis.

Even though you couldn't see that there were actually two people in this
one, it doesn't matter because both are Bajoran.

No tricks here. These guys are all Klingon.

He may have gotten Curzon's memories, but not the physical Dax symbiont.
"Curzon" Odo's still a Changeling. (Click the image to

Borg. (Click the image to see a full-sized view.)

The Romulan trappings are pretty easily recognized, but then, so is this
familiar image of Deanna Troi as Major Rakal, who is of course mixed
species, Betazoid/human. (Click the image to see a full-sized view.)

The single earring is the giveaway here; Yarka is Bajoran.

The Winners
This turned out to be more difficult than we had anticipated,
largely due to K'mtar. The vast majority of the entries had him tagged as
Klingon. Only two entries out of around 350 got everything right,
so they're sharing first place and will each receive a display box of Reflections.
On the other hand, K'mtar wasn't the only sticking point, because only 30
entries got 9 correct answers. Our two runners-up were randomly selected
from those 30.
First place (tie)
Brent Knab
Kettering, Ohio
Matt Zinno
Sharon, Massachusetts
Runners-up
Caitlin Shindler
Annapolis, Maryland
Philippe Charette
Gatineau, Quebec
Congratulations! Your prizes will be shipped approximately
8-10 weeks after the release of Reflections. If you have any questions,
please direct them to webmaster@decipher.com
and specify by title exactly which contest you are enquiring about.
