Title: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Taylor on October 31, 2013, 01:36:37 pm
Alright! Listen up, maggots!
This here is the second forum contest!
It's gonna be a writing contest, you hear me?
I say LISTEN UP!

Here's the rules, so listen carefully!

ONE! Only one entry per maggot, you got me? Multiple entries won't be allowed!
TWO! Entries must be between two hundred and one thousand words!
THREE! Stories are to be about anything you maggots can think of!
FOUR! Entries are to be sent to me via the Personal Messenger in order to be eligible! If they are posted in this thread, they will not be valid.

When's the deadline, you ask?
Ha!
It's on 1 Cirairaphia 4028!
That'll be enough time for you maggots to do this!

Any questions?



EDIT BY SHANE: Deadline is 2 February 2014.

Yeah, why are you calling us "maggots"?

Hello.
I guess you are either Xeshan or that other whose name I forgot. Xylorta.

Anyways, translate the time to English.

1 January 2014.

I accidentally moused-over the time.

...

Didn't Anko from Naruto call everyone maggots during the Chuunin Exams? ???
Or did I remember something that doesn't exist again?
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Dr. Time on October 31, 2013, 01:57:17 pm
Wait. I think you're right.
 Anko did call them that, if I remember correctly.

And thanks for the translation.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on October 31, 2013, 01:59:10 pm
Anyway, I believe I shall be taking part in this.

Also...

Xylorta is scary D:

Um.
Couldn't you perhaps set the deadline to 1 December this year?
Or would that conflict with schedules of other members?
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Taylor on October 31, 2013, 07:46:06 pm
Ask them. :P
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Dr. Time on November 01, 2013, 01:32:10 am
It will conflict with mine. Exams.
Sorry, I'd prefer 1st January.

Post by: Taylor on November 01, 2013, 12:53:46 pm
See, Shane?

I thought of Kushagra and Dr. Time and other possible participants having to deal with exams and stuff.
Is that not considerate?

Also, Shane, you're pretty quick to have written nearly 500 words in less than an hour. :o
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Dr. Time on November 02, 2013, 04:50:49 am
...uh, guys, I think I'll not participate in this one.
I think I'll be a reviewer of the stories instead. Yeah, that sounds good.

....
And Taylor, don't kill me for saying I won't participate D:
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Taylor on November 02, 2013, 09:30:40 am
...

* teleports to Rina Newnova and stabs Julio in his head instead with two daggers *

* teleports back *

There. I didn't kill you, I killed your character instead. >:D





... But Summer will probably bring him back to life.



Just throwing this out into the open, for those who didn't see it in the first post:
If you wanted to, you could write information about your RPG character, even if it's from an RPG that isn't at these forums. In fact, just about anything.
I'll give five examples using five random members.

Polaris could write about Polar Star's past, for instance.
Shane could write about Ashen's past. (He can't, though, he already submitted his entry an hour after this contest started.)
Bla bla bla 44 could write about his Battle character's past and how said character learned the Chocolate Beam Cannon. :))
KarjamP could write about the first battle between Nega-Lime Karjam and the Purple Karjam.
Rebelle could write about a Pikachu that could change into a human and back.

The possibilities are just about endless!

And Poor Richard could write about how the font "Poor Richard" came to exist? :P
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Taylor on November 02, 2013, 05:00:47 pm
Maybe?

THERE'S A FONT CALLED "POOR RICHARD"?! :o
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Wayne on November 02, 2013, 08:21:53 pm
@Taylor
I always thought Julio belonged to Kush
Hmm, it appears that I was wrong

Anyway, I think I will write something

Post by: Dianke on November 05, 2013, 06:49:02 pm
Ah, can family members of the thread starter join in...? :-[
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Wayne on November 05, 2013, 07:44:17 pm
Sure, go on.

Any member can participate. Except for banned ones, but they don't count.

Not sure about sending entries. You should either send them to Shane, me, Solid Snake or KarjamP... Better ask Shane about that.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 05, 2013, 07:46:45 pm
Send them to Taylor instead; 1 December's still far away for most.

Dianke, you should try getting your other sister to talk to Taylor, maybe that'll help?
Or maybe you should, I dunno, make her something? Cake? A drawing / painting?
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: KarjamP on November 05, 2013, 07:48:26 pm
Believe it or not, I knew about the font "Poor Richard" for a while, now.

Back when I used a computer for my schoolwork in Vista Nova (and not the laptop that the college gave me for college work), I used to setup all of my text to use that font.

Can't do anything about that, now can we? :P
Poor Richard font can't become Rich Richard or something....


Quick Edit- 400th post!!!!1one!11

That would be hilarious, though :))
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Dr. Time on November 06, 2013, 03:58:40 pm
That would be hilarious, though :))

...and then suddenly, Poor Richard met Rich Richard :P

Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 06, 2013, 04:01:19 pm
And then they were teleported to the End of the World (http://www.khwiki.net/End_of_the_World). :P
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 06, 2013, 06:12:01 pm
I think I know why this came to mind.

And Poor Richard could write about how the font "Poor Richard" came to exist? :P
KarjamP's name is Richard (if I remember correctly).
Somewhere in my subconscious I wanted KarjamP to write about the font's existence as an example.

...

MY MIND IS RUINED D:

Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Charlotte on November 23, 2013, 08:27:46 am
Via PM.

Also, the only prize is a badge; you can see Dr. Time and KarjamP and Wayne have badges with a "2" and "3", respectively.
Bla bla bla 44 has a badge with a "1".



Yes, I edited this post. :P - Shane
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 23, 2013, 08:39:22 am
Don't send it to ME, I'd get disqualified from participating. >:(
I've already sent my entry on the day the contest began.

Send it to TAYLOR, not me.

I think Kushagra wants me disqualified. D:
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Wayne on November 23, 2013, 08:39:31 am
I also have a "3", you know...
...just saying...
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: AuroraDash on November 23, 2013, 10:59:28 am
I think I'll take part in this. I'll type something up tomorrow or next week or whenever :3
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: SlasherOmegaUltima - Prince of Rankaros on November 24, 2013, 11:48:49 am
Sorry Shane didn't mean that....

:(
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 24, 2013, 12:37:42 pm
Don't worry about it.
I was a bit angry yesterday because my computer deleted my save file for Into the Unknown, forcing me to go through Easy Mode all over again; if I did snap at anyone I'm sorry about that.

Oh well, that gives me chance to add something new to the Prison area before the whole save point area I had, so it may've been a blessing in disguise...

... Is "may've" even a word?
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: AuroraDash on November 24, 2013, 01:57:16 pm
I don't think it is, but I'll look it up.

Yeah, "May've" isn't a word. Sowwy.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 24, 2013, 09:19:47 pm
Well, it only applies as an entry if it's sent to Taylor via PM; otherwise it doesn't count as an entry.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: AuroraDash on November 25, 2013, 02:41:47 pm
Just sent my entry to Taylor.

:D
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Taylor on November 26, 2013, 10:04:27 am
"May've" can be a word if we work to make it one. :P

Anyway, received your entries.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Wayne on November 30, 2013, 08:25:52 am
Yes, if she's still willing to take the entries. If she isn't, send them to me.
Title: Re: Contest #2: Writing
Post by: Shane on November 30, 2013, 03:58:23 pm
Just because she hasn't replied yet, doesn't mean she didn't get the message.
She might have forgotten to reply.
