The one concern is probably repeat cards, though honestly if you structured a Cards Against Headquarters deck like Apples to Apples Flowers to Flowers, someone might play it!
And as for no takers -- people could be busy and/or not willing to browse the wiki to find a response to an adjective. Which is why having a deck on CrCast could get you more takers.
Introducing...the newest PPC game, Flowers to Flowers! In this PPC-themed version of Apples to Apples, one “Judge” chooses an adjective, and all other contestants reply with a page on the PPC wiki!
Does anyone want to play?
(There are more rules, but I’d like to see if anyone else is interested before I bother with the minutiae.)

I will mention that Nesh and I have Cards Against Headquarters, but ever since Cardcast and Pretend You're XYZZY went down that page has been outdated. We're in the process of revising and porting the cards over to new online CAH platforms, though.
But the links were broken, so I’m trying to make a slightly nicer, slightly simpler version. Hence the Just for Pun name of Flowers to Flowers.

I think Nesh has gotten started porting the cards to CrCast, since that platform has the ability to import from Cardcast. I'll probably be moving the cards to All Bad Cards, another CAH mirror site. We're planning to edit the Cards anyway to take out outdated jokes or agents who are now out of continuity, so hopefully it'll make for a nicer game :P
Names have been changed slightly from the original versions due to the character limit on CrCast.
And... that's almost everything, really. I haven't done the Flower decks because I don't think anyone really liked using them, and I haven't done Cards Against Boarders because I don't have it (and I didn't think it was a good idea anyway).
For what it's worth, they're PG-13 at worst. Still marked NSFW due to mild swearwords and allusions to naughty things, though.

As of Thursday, in fact. I tried running a test-game, which didn't quite happen because it was a hundred degrees outside and I kept losing my connection, but I saw enough to be pretty sure it will all work. Probably.
~Neshomeh
But maybe wait until the PG election is over?
—Ls
Seeing as they’re all nonfunctional.
That way I can update the whole page in one go, eventually.
~Neshomeh
Or do you want to do it yourself?
Because I can’t figure out how to add any cards to my deck.
—Ls
Since no one else is interested in Flowers to Flowers, could you tell me how to make a personal Cards against Headquarters deck?
—Ls, a little sad no one else has replied.

I can’t figure out how to add any cards. Might be because I’m doing it on mobile. Can you help me?
—Ls
Just tried it on my phone, and it displays like garbage. Can't even edit cards that already exist, let one add new ones.
~Neshomeh
I can’t really edit anything from desktop...so that’s an issue. Maybe there’s a similar site I can create cards on? Or I could email the cards I want to someone else.
Or I suppose I could help you test the existing decks, Nesh. If you’d like.
—Ls
I don't know how functional the mobile site is, though. I just know it uses the same setup as Cardcast for submitting decks.
But if I make my own version, it will definitely be clean. And it will have stuff from my favorite spinoffs.
