The forums have amused me so greatly the last few days that I've decided in the spirit of the holidays to have a few giveaways. Participation is voluntary, no cost to enter, blah blah blah.......Cannith only mind you

For the 1st "day"....It's simple....send an ingame mail to the character Feistyr containing your "holiday" haiku.* 575 remember the format, anything not in the format will not be considered. It can be funny, sad, angry, silly, educational (perhaps Econ 101) whatever. The only content rule is that nothing in the mail can be considered cruel. Any entries that are considered cruel towards real life people, real animals, or sports teams(this I jest) will be immediately deleted. I and three in game dwarves and elves will be the judges for the finalists. For the first giveaway, the top 3 will place with the following prize structure:

1st- choice 100 silver coins or 450 copper coins * note in your entry you must choose
2nd- whichever the 1st didn't pick
3rd- 99 copper coins

I will also personally award prizes to entries I deem too funny/rude/absurd etc....It may be lumps of coal, it may be a tome, ingredient etc....This is the first of likely 4 giveaways...Rules for subsequent giveaways will change, prizes will be increased.

This 1st giveaway starts NOW! All entries for this one must be in by 6pm Saturday 12/05/09 EST. Prizes will be sent out no later then 12/08/09 6pm EST.


Disclaimer:
The above listed character is mine, I'm not attempting to spam someone. I alone will judge the top 12 submissions. The final 12 will be discussed by myself and the three aforementioned demihumans in party over voicechat. The above listed toon will not respond to tells, invites etc.....All decisions are final....All submissions remain your or whoever's property, I don't want it. Don't cry...LOL

A gold coin will be mailed to the first ingame mail I receive to answer correctly how I derived the name of this toon.....PUG's welcome.....*this is the only submission that does not have to be in Haiku format

Cannith only....I can't be responsible if another player has this name on another server.....

I sent you two submissions (as you did not specify only one per character). If I'm only allowed one, then please use the second one, that references chimneys...

I am "Ontos" on Cannith, a WF rogue, so of course my haiku is from that perspective. :)

All prizes have been handed out, congrats to the winners. A half dozen consolation prizes as well for orginality and a +1 tome to the amazingly disturbing Broccoli haiku. Thanks to the participants and my evil gang of "judgers".

the amazingly disturbing Broccoli haiku.
Are you going to share it with us? Or other haikus?

Mine was the eulogy to Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. Thank you for the prize!

per the author of the submission I'm not revealing it. It is incredibly offensive to some, and incredibly amusing to others. Lol!

NP, thanks for playing!

Hah! Now that definitely did not make me even more curious to read it :)

I will just think of Broccoli and offensive stuff to do with it and perhaps giggle because it could naughty :P
