(Updated-OP FULLY UPDATED) Idea: Monthly Writing Prompt.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

OP REVAMP:

Alright, here's the deal. I seem to have enough supposrt to at least try this, and I hope it lasts.

The idea: A monthly Writing prompt. Basically, Cros and myself determine a prompt for the coming month. I will make a thread that will serve as the home thread for the whole idea once we've settled everything.

The basics include; A prompt will be posted up every month(in the same thread, updated). If you're interested, you have that month to post your entry in said thread. I will compile three judges who will discuss the entries amongst themselves, and tell me the winner. I will then update the thread again with the winner and his/her piece, along with the next month's prompt. Simple, right?

There will be different judges each month. If you are a judge, you can't submit an entry, to prevent any kind of bias. Judges are volunteers, so I inquire any one who's interested to tell me.

As of right now, we are still in the beta stage of this project. The above poll is to determine the prompt we will start with. Cros and I have come up with three different prompts, each labled A, B, and C. This poll will pick which one we use. Once the poll closes, we will have our prompt!

That is the gist of it.

[Croswynd]

Monthly Assignment, I think. Write down a story prompt, get everyone to write a story based on hat prompt, maybe 3-7k words long. Then get three judges to decide which is the best for the month, and have the winner decide the next month's topic?

[Jay the Arbiter]

Elaborate, I'm a little lost as to what you mean by "Prompt" :confused:

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Elaborate, I'm a little lost as to what you mean by "Prompt" :confused:

A short story explanation.

Example: Setting, Jacinto slums. Two Gears are patrolling through the alleys, both have opposing views on the Stranded squatters. Write out the ensueing conversation.

That's the basis of a prompt. Though, that's an old idea I ahd a while ago, when Wiz and RaK needed a prompt. :/

@Cros, monthly for longer stories works too. I was originally thinking these could be short stories, in which two weeks would suffice. However, if you and others prefer a longer deadline, I can make it monthly.

I could decide the months prompt through many ways. I could post them, and have people vote. I could make an annon vote, where the winning prompt is posted afterward. Or, I could take suggestions and draw them out a hat.

Or, to make it interesting, I could cycle through each prompt choosing idea.

Also, I don't think there would be a "Winner". Making it a compitition would throw off newer people who are just trying to write something, you know? Plus, it would get boring when the same people win every time. No, I don't think a compitition is a good idea. Just for fun, IMO.

[RaKais]

I'm down with that shizzle. I really need to start writing again...

[Jay the Arbiter]

I'm down with that shizzle. I really need to start writing again...

I'm going to be mean and ask, :p you're collab piece? Is the nearly done?

[RaKais]

It is nearly done but everything I was doing is currently not moving... annoyingly.

[Jay the Arbiter]

Ah, okay.

Hope things perk up!

[Jonesybites]

That may be a good idea for those whom are in hiatus or have been in a deadzone of writers' block...I already have too many writing projects in the works right now, but I would like to read some shorts (and I do mean shorts, prefereably no more than 2K). If we have five or seven people contributing a short each, that's 12 to 14K right there, and that can be tedius to read all of them at once.

[Croswynd]

Competition is a much better motivator than "just a place to write". People have that already, here. They have their ideas and do little. But if people can compete against one another, there will be a drive, a fire to beat all the others.

But if people around here can't handle that...do what you will.

[SKORGE]

Weekly is insane.

Monthly or otherwise it'll be too much in too little time. And Project Alpha isn't dead in the water, maybe for the rest of you, but I'm still getting people to at least click into the S&C from the three.

For a short? A short short? 1000 words short? O_O You really are a procrastinator. I mean, I'm as bad as you when it comes to that, but a week doesn't seem that bad when you're writing something short.

Idk, Cros. The idea of making it a compitition just doesn't sit right with me. Newer writers would see no point in participating when there's no way they can compete with bigshots like yourself and Jonesy. I know this wasn't originally my idea, but the way I saw the idea was as a way for people to overcome writers block, to help newer writers improve, or just people who want to write something for the sake of writing.

Do you see where I'm coming from? I'm trying to keep this like a kind of commitee, so if enough of you want it a compitition, then I can do that, but as of right now, I'd rather it not.

[SKORGE]

You are dead wrong, buddy-boy.

Oh it'll be fantastic for the first week or so, but get to week two and you'll have everyone burned out before you can even say "Change my Lancer".

[Jay the Arbiter]

Eh, don't really like the sound of a "Competition" :(

[rcs92]

I'm up for this. I Excel at short stories :D

[RaKais]

I'm up for the competition. Screw it, we should judge the pieces anyway! :p

[rusticangelic]

I'd be up for this, but not too sure about the competition side of things, and not too sure about the weekly side of things either, my working week is stressful enough without having to worry about submitting a short and yes, I know, I know I don't have to submit something every week. But I want to be proactive in this forum to keep it alive.

[Croswynd]

Good luck making this work without competition. I just don't see it doing anything to help anyone. People already have their ideas in their head and they aren't doing much. Like myself, for example.

But if it were writing to try and beat everyone else, I know I'd try my hardest to win. All you people who don't want the competition are just people with low confidence. On another writing forum, there's competitions and they -work-. Even if someone is a mediocre writer going up against others who might be considered "better", they go in trying to win. And sometimes they bloody do, too. Even if you don't win, getting the judges to tell you what you did wrong, what they liked and didn't, helps you do better next time.

As of now, I've seen very few reviewers tell people what they do wrong. Mostly you guys just say what you liked, which is good for confidence, but it just won't help them improve.

But maybe I'm not talking to the right people. Biggest motivator is competition, but if you don't have confidence in yourself going up against Jonsey or RaKais or Boss, you'll never improve anyway. They aren't perfect. They won't win everytime. I've never won a writing competition on my writing forum I mentioned, ever, but I still try to win every month. And I improve.

The leaders change month to month, especially as the judges change month to month, as well. Jonesy might feel like judging, for example, leaving you to deal with only Boss or RaKais.

But, like I said, maybe I'm just talking to the wrong kind of people.

[RaKais]

They aren't perfect.

Well... Maybe not my writing...

[Croswynd]

Well... Maybe not my writing...

Oh, you. :P

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Fine then. We'll try your idea once this gets started, though I seriously doubt it will work. The forum you speak of(AWR, right?) is filled to the top with nothing but writers. We have a handful of people. Compititions can cause infighting in such a small community, but I digress.

Now then, I have a question for you. What exactely does the winner gain from winning?

EDIT: Also, I can easily make it Bi-monthly, ergo, every two weeks. That way its not too short, but people still have more than enough time to write.

[RaKais]

The winner gains respect! and ego! and ... and... nothing material!

[Croswynd]

Like I said before, the winner gains the ability to choose the next month's* topic and bragging rights until displaced next month. Why would competitions cause infighting, I ask? We're all here to have fun writing, and what's more fun than competition?

*Make it monthly. It's better that way. More people will actually enter if they can take their time.

[rusticangelic]

I see nothing wrong in bragging rights and choosing topics if its a competition, this will actually be fun in that case, and plus it does encourage the individual to want to improve from their last piece. :)

[Croswynd]

Topics can range from one word prompts like "Light", or you can go in depth like Grub's example stated earlier. The possibilities are really endless.

[rusticangelic]

In the long run, its only going to make you a better writer, with people actually critiquing your work.

[RaKais]

Exactly! I think this could be grand!

[SKORGE]

So what is it? Every month or every week?

Also, I will beat you all because I'm the best. :p

[Croswynd]

Make it monthly, Grub. You can create the thread or leave it to me. Either way. It is the beginning of a new month, after all. Why not start now?

[rusticangelic]

Every month I think would be best, gives you more time to come up with a decent piece rather than rushed drivel

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Quick Question: Who would be willing to judge the entries? Cros has volunteered to judge the first month's entries, and we need two more. Any volunteers, or am I gonna have to resort to throwing a dart at a board of names, and forcibly making you judge? ;)

[SKORGE]

You couldn't make me a judge if you had Rob's children tied to a pole suspended over a tank of sharks!

... with that said, I nominate Rob.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Sooooo, you're participating? Lol. If you submit an entry, you can't be a judge, by the way.

[SKORGE]

What?

Participating in what, being a judge or the contest?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

The f*cking prompt thing! Y U so slobro?

[SKORGE]

Why wouldn't I be participating?

BUT Y U MAD THOUGH?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

What the helll is going on?????

[SKORGE]

You really are endangered aren't you?

You need two more judges for this here contest which is going to be monthly, I assume.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Yes, exactly. Now the stipulation is if you write an entry, you can't judge.

[Croswynd]

For this month, anyway. Next month, you're free to write but not judge if you judge this time. Or you can judge again.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

For this month, anyway. Next month, you're free to write but not judge if you judge this time. Or you can judge again.

Cros, I have a very stupid question. How do I add a poll to the OP? I know you did that with HE, so I figured you would know. I feel stupid for not knowing how. >_> Without a mods help, that is.

[Croswynd]

Uhhhhhhh....try thread tools? Or...something.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

*facepalm* You know, I never saw that there until you mentioned it. I've heard the term before, but I could never find it. I was going into advanced edit, and I never found it. That's kind of stupid that it's not in there, but I digress.

UPDATE: Cros and I have decided on three prompts. It's up to you all to decide which one. "But Grub," you ask, "How do we know which one we picked?" Well, my delusional little forumer, it's quite simple. You don't. Just pick one, and I will post the winner once the poll closes, in three days time. Cros knows the prompts, so you can guarantee it's honest and I'm not changing anything around.

Now then, VOTE!
(PS, pick A! No, wait, C! Definitely B. Wait, forget that, pick D!)

[Croswynd]

He's lying. I don't know anything, man. We're as good as dead! GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!

*hides in a concrete bunker huddled in the corner and muttering to himself*

[SKORGE]

Well if you people don't know whats on there, we ain't voting.

[RaKais]

SKORGE, stop being a spoil sport. I rather like this random approach!

[SKORGE]

SKORGE, stop being a spoil sport. I rather like this random approach!

Hey, unlike you, I'd rather the people in charge know what they put on there before I make a vote. For all I know, its some BS!

Cros doesn't know!
Grub doesn't know!
We don't know!

THEN WHO KNOWS WHAT ANYMORE!?

ITS A LOST CAUSE AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE! GAME OVER, MAN, GAME OVER! WE'RE ALL DEAD, WE'RE ALL DEAD SARGE! THE LONDON BRIDGE HAS FALLEN! WE ARE ALL HEADED FOR DISASTER! 2012 WAS A LIE, 1964 THE GOVERNMENT FUNDED THE TRAINING AND EQUIPPING OF INTERNATIONAL HOOLIGANS AND THEY IN TURN USED THEIR NEWFOUND WEALTH TO CONQUER STADIUMS AND ARENAS EVERYWHERE!

WE ARE DONE, WE'RE DEAD MAN, GAME OVER!

[rusticangelic]

sorry to sound dense but what's the difference between the three prompts? Or do we not know until the end?? It's been a long day ...

[RaKais]

I think it's a random thing. I don't mind, in all honesty. Either way, we get a prompt and it would be the same as if they just told us their idea for a prompt or we guessed one without knowing what it was.

As long as we get a prompt!

[rusticangelic]

ahh ok I'm with you, so I pick a random one and the one with the most votes get to be written about.


Question - how do we know its not just the same one on each prompt :D ?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Thar be three prompts, miss. I assigned them A, B, and C. This here poll is whats gonna decide which one gets picked, but the catch is you dunno which one you done picked! It's rather genius, if I do say so myself. :p

[rusticangelic]

arr ok I see, I voted! :)

[SKORGE]

Question - how do we know its not just the same one on each prompt :D ?

DEAD - WE'RE ALL DEAD!


...unless you all pick 'B'.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Don't pick b! B is a lie!

[SKORGE]

I picked 'C' buddy.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

OH GOD, NO ONE LIKES A!!!!

Ok, someone needs to vote, because we're f*cked if we have a tie. :p

[SKORGE]

I'd vote but the man keeps me from voting twice.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

F*CK DA MAN! I PREFER DA WOMEN!

Bad Jokes aside, people really should vote. Would it help if I said please?

[SKORGE]

Go to the OP, take off all that other stuff and replace it with the information we need.

- When will this prompt happen?
- How many times?
- What exactly do we have to do in the prompt?
- Why the hell are we voting for letters with no info?

Maybe than these lazy kids will vote for liberation!

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Bah, that's to much woooooooork. I'll do that once I'm done being a condensending ass.

[SKORGE]

Do it now. Right now all you're going to get is people trying to find what the choices up there mean, and not voting because they can't find the information regarding what the choices are.

[rusticangelic]

actually how many people are actually voting and taking part in this?? Or we waiting till ole Grubster closes the votes or waiting till everyone has taken their pick. Because at the moment there are only five of us contributing.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

I'm a tad disheartned by that as well. I still need two judges. Anyone? Anyone at all?

[rusticangelic]

the only thing is that if we have three judges and only two taking part that really isn't much of a competition, basing it only on the people who have voted. Damn why is this place so dead, then we wouldnt even have this problem, then of course a lot of people might not even vote... hmmm now I fear I am rambling

[Croswynd]

Three judges. RaKais, Grub, and I (as an example). That still leaves Jonesy, Rusty, Jay, Wiz, and Red if he wants to write. That's enough of a competiton by itself, not even counting the new people who might wanna enter. We just need to publisize this more.

[rusticangelic]

true, i suppose the more this is publicised the more people we can get taking part in this.

[capt dec]

Since you ran off before i could answer you, I'd be down with this but I've a ton of exams in the next few months, That said for those who like this, this is a brilliant Idea.

[RaKais]

You really want me as a judge? *evil grin*

[Wisdom Thumbs]

When I had the idea for the monthly writing prompt, I thought it could be a little something for people who want ideas for a quick story. Something to break writer's block with, or to lay out simple but interesting ideas for stories.

So what's this about judges and getting everyone to write a story based off every prompt?

What you're saying is the core idea I wanted to get across. A prompt for people who need something to get over Writers Block or just want something to write. That said, Cros believes that making it a compitition would improve its standing, and more people would try. I don't believe so, but I'm taking a leap of faith and accepting Cors' judgement on this.

That said, the way this is supposed to be set up is I make the thread for the Writing Prompt in general. Every month, I give out a prompt for people to write. When they are finished, they PM me the stories, and I in-turn PM them to that month's three judges who collaborate with each other to decide the winner. I then post the results, and all the entries, in the thread. The winner gets nothing special but the satisfaction of winning.

Then we start all over again. Make sense?

[SKORGE]

I PM you the story?

Can the PM system even handle the length of most stories?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Send multiple then, if It canne take the pressure!

There supposed to be shorts, you know. :p

[SKORGE]

PM cannot handle short-shorts... trust me.

Meh, be my guest though.

[Croswynd]

Why not make a thread for people to post their stories over the course of the month? Why do we need to use PMs?

[Jonesybites]

So how is this going to work? Are going to have an actively "updated thread" where we just post our "prompts" and the administrator of the thread will link the "prompts" to the front page for navigation, or are we doing something else?

[Croswynd]

1 thread per month containing Prompt as OP, all stories entered, and scores by the judges.

Link the winner in another tread that from there on contains winners of each month. Try to get this stickied or put in FFC? Either way.

That's my idea.

[SKORGE]

If anything, get this linked to the FFC.

We have enough stickied threads in my opinion.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

1 thread per month containing Prompt as OP, all stories entered, and scores by the judges.

Link the winner in another tread that from there on contains winners of each month. Try to get this stickied or put in FFC? Either way.

That's my idea.

That would leave a lot of threads lying about. Best to consolidate as much into one thread as possible - a new prompt every month, for example, that is placed in a "Writing Prompts" thread. When somebody writes a story for a prompt, their story is linked under that prompt in the "Writing Prompts" thread.

My two cents on the matter.

(could also be a bi-monthly thing, so more people's ideas for prompts could be posted)

[SKORGE]

Nah, Grub said it was a monthly thing. And I still don't know who's in charge of it all. I'm getting a vibe from both Cros and Grub, so who's doing what exactly? Aside from being a judge?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

1. I'm helming the thread with Cros' council. He knows more about this stuff, so I'm leaching off his advice.

2. I can change it so you post your submisson in the thread, then. Would make for less PM cludder, however the judges would still have to PM each other.

3. I say only one thread, updated each month. I'll just link to the winner, then, and update the OP every month.

4. Wiz, I wanted Bi-Monthly, but others(Ahem, SKORGE) said that wasn't enough, so I pushed it up to a month. >_>

[SKORGE]

I had a problem with it being WEEKLY, not bi-monthly. See what I mean? You confuse yourself when you don't organize your words, hombre. As I said before, you need to put information on the first post otherwise there's no real organization. You're not doing much now, so why not update this thread?

[Croswynd]

Monthly is better, IMO. More time to make quality work and doesn't make everyone tense with a bi-monthly deadline.

[Jonesybites]

It wouldn't be feasible to have the thread stickied if you're posting a thread each month...unless you intend (and you may have mentioned that already; I'm behind) want to have a "home thread" to where you can link the monthly threads (kinda like a newsletter listed by month/year, and then click on the link) and then get it stickied.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

I only plan on making one constantly updated thread, so a sticky can be arranged(I hope).

Anyway, OP fully updated. Please take a gander, and give me your opinions.

[Croswynd]

I'm sure I've mentioned this already, but the next month's prompt should be chosen by the winner of the previous month.

[SKORGE]

You have, although when are we going to find out what the prompt is? Anytime soon or ...?

[Wisdom Thumbs]

I don't understand how we're going to have a monthly contest here. Does anyone write enough words per day to do anything on that scale? Much less consistently?

I still think the writing prompt thread should be a collection of writing prompts, with links to stories people have written on the prompts in the thread. Basically an archive of half-baked story ideas and interesting concepts you don't have the time to try yourself. It would be there for writers to sift through and find ideas to break their own writer's block, or supplement their own stories, or even to make a whole new story.

You can make the monthly contest thing, but I can't see it flourishing very often. That's me being a pessimistic asshole or something, but that's honestly how I see it.

[Jonesybites]

Well, technically we already have a collection of "half-baked," unfinished stories (and I may be using that term reather gernerously) scattered all over the forums. I figured at least these prompts will have some conceptial foundation to them. The idea of having a contest may have incentive for some more originality.

[RaKais]

I don't understand how we're going to have a monthly contest here. Does anyone write enough words per day to do anything on that scale?

I do... just nothing Gears related at the moment.

[Croswynd]

What's Jonesy said has been my opinion. People have their ideas all over this forum and are doing little with them. With a contest, people might feel like it's enough incentive to write.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Poll is Closed. Prompt B is da winnah!

Everything is basically set up now.

Prompt-Check.
Willing Host-Check
Everything else in order-Check
SKORGE to do my dirty work-Check
Judges-_____

Damn. We still need two judges before we start. If anyone is AT ALL interested, please tell me. I can forgo my entry if it means one more judge, but that still leaves us with an open spot. :(

[Croswynd]

Oh, oh, I'll judge!

[SKORGE]

What's Jonesy said has been my opinion. People have their ideas all over this forum and are doing little with them. With a contest, people might feel like it's enough incentive to write.

Opinion supported.

A month is, in most cases, a long time. I am in the firm belief, that those that wish to take part, will all finish before the deadline as long as the selection is intriguing enough.

If you've got a problem with this opinion, I really don't care... only because I've had to click on this thread three times, each to have me kicked back out, in order to post. So I might not even see it... :p

When will this be on the road?

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Whenever I get judges, man! I need to advertise. >_>

[SKORGE]

I really don't want to be a judge, but hey, I'm there if everyone else aside from Cros is too lazy.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

A short story explanation.

Example: Setting, Jacinto slums. Two Gears are patrolling through the alleys, both have opposing views on the Stranded squatters. Write out the ensueing conversation.

That's the basis of a prompt. Though, that's an old idea I ahd a while ago, when Wiz and RaK needed a prompt. :/

@Cros, monthly for longer stories works too. I was originally thinking these could be short stories, in which two weeks would suffice. However, if you and others prefer a longer deadline, I can make it monthly.

I could decide the months prompt through many ways. I could post them, and have people vote. I could make an annon vote, where the winning prompt is posted afterward. Or, I could take suggestions and draw them out a hat.

Or, to make it interesting, I could cycle through each prompt choosing idea.

Also, I don't think there would be a "Winner". Making it a compitition would throw off newer people who are just trying to write something, you know? Plus, it would get boring when the same people win every time. No, I don't think a compitition is a good idea. Just for fun, IMO.

Just read this again...

That was your idea?

Grub, you are genius.

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Just read this again...

That was your idea?

Grub, you are genius.

You don't remember? Sad Face. :(

However, yes. I AM a genius. :p Did you ever finish that, btw?

____

Ok, sod the three judges. Cros and I will do it. Two is fine enough to prevent bias. I'll get to work making the thread.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

Can't you only make one poll per thread, and can't delete the old one?

And no, I never finished that. I just wrote the beginning and couldn't do anymore. :<

[Mr Fisher]

I'll judge!

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

I'll judge!

Really? You done mean it?

Ok, that's settled then. :p We have three now. I'll make the thread tonight.

[SKORGE]

Jesus, thats what I voted for?

Just to be clear, I'm not a judge right?

[Wisdom Thumbs]

Do we have a prompt yet?

[SKORGE]

What the hell was it that you had quoted in the last page? Because I thought that was the prompt...

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Wiz quoted something I said way back in this thread. Get with the times, ya tard!

Anyway, can you think of a good name for this, or will have to stick with "Monthly Writing Prompt", because that just doesn't jump off the page for me.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

Monthly Writing Prompt seems fine to me. Three simple words that describe the whole thing easily. All summed up in the title. No room for confusion, unless some idiot doesn't know what "prompt" means.

But seriously. Give us a prompt! Promptly!!!

[Sgt. Grub k1ller]

Grand Challange of the Month caught my eye. However, I will stick with my working title. For now.

[Jay the Arbiter]

Heh, Writers Lounge. :p (Reading through Skorgio's suggestions)

[SKORGE]

What, no one likes 'The Pencil-Crusaders Conquest of the Monthly Lands'?

[Jay the Arbiter]

A Mouthful, is why I think no one chose that. :p

[SKORGE]

But ... but it was unique!

[Jay the Arbiter]

Unique, but that was it's flaw.

People are sheep, they fear new things. If something new and unique arises, the herd panics, which leads to discord and destruction. :p

[Wisdom Thumbs]

Like microwaves. Or airplanes.

(or Ponies) :rolleyes:

[SKORGE]

Well what about 'Gods of the Craftsmanship: Order of the Scribes' or 'Enticing Prompts From Afar'?

People have no taste!

Obviously not, just look at your taste in thread titles! :p

[SKORGE]

Obviously not, just look at your taste in thread titles! :p

Hey, these are all classics from history!

My titles are gold that Shakespeare would have wet himself for.

Shakespeare? Maybe?

Shakespearicles?

Nice one, Jay, hahahaha!

WHAT is the prompt? I am so confused. I wanna do this but lolwut?

Yeah, not too sure where this is going to go. Just waiting on Grub now, I belive... and Cros.

Yeah, not too sure where this is going to go. Just waiting on Grub now, I belive... and Cros.

And While we are waiting, I am going to throw down the gloves.

:D

[SKORGE]

And While we are waiting, I am going to throw down the gloves.



THE CANSUCKS WILL NOT WIN.



Yeah, I went there. Your move, canadian. ;)

I'm going to tie you on two large wooden pillars parallel of one another, seven feet above the ground. You will be tied in the middle with your hands and arms outstretched like a starfish. I will proceed to brand you like a cow for three days and three nights with the words "SKORGE" marking your body by the end of the ordeal. Finally, I will, on the fourth day, place a spear directly below your genitalia. From there I will slowly drive it higher and higher until it punctures your body and gracefully exits your shoulder. The fun part is you and I, we'd share in this memory. I mean, you wouldn't die due to the pain nor would you pass out, you would be alive and awake for the whole thing, buddy-boy.

... and than I'd ransack your home and burn all your things while singing Oh Canada.

^ See? You would do well not to anger him. I'm allowed though. He can't harm me. He tried the above trick on me before and he ended up being impaled on the pole he tried to tie me up by with the spear wrapped around his testicles.

[SKORGE]

I do what I do, you can't change, I am who I am because of what I am!

- Ice.

1. This is still on. I will try desperately to get it out tonight. Life smacked her huge d*ck in my face, and I haven't been able to get this moving.

2. I can diss SKORGE and Canada all I want, free of reprisal, because SKORGe has learned he can't beat me. I can;t beat him, mind you, so we stalemate each time. Thusly, I can insult him all I wish. :P In fact, I do it daily.

I can easily beat you if I were to be a jackass. Personal attacks would be eminent and all your confidence would be crushed, because that is what I have learned to do while spending time with assholes.

However, seeing as how I'm not that much of an asshole, I don't do that kind of sh*t and instead go with the lean meat in order to continue the debate. But when push comes to shove, I'm willing to get my hands dirty. However, this is the Internet and thus I find no reason to make it personal with many.

I'll piss on your face and light you on fire. Bazinga! :p

I was going to see if you'd respond with something, haha, no worries, I wouldn't hurt you, sweet prince. Take your time, I've got to have some fun with the tosser/hoser known as RC.


I'll piss on your face and light you on fire. Bazinga! :p

Dreams are fun aren't they? Sometimes people dream of cars and babes, sometimes people dream of ponies and zombies.

You dream of having the one thing you don't have. The means to stand up and piss, while also dreaming of me, a male from Canada who you'd do anything to have in your bed.

You are a richardless-homo.



I keep it clean.

In recent news, longtime Epic Forums member "Wisdom Thumbs" was beaten to death with a Youtube link earlier today. Details are still unknown at this time, but it appears the murder was committed when Thumbs posted the link as a bad joke in reply to another forum member's question. Authorities were only able to identify Thumbs off of his fingerprints, as his face and teeth were entirely destroyed in the vicious beating. We're sure he had it coming.

Police are offering a $2,000 reward to whoever was responsible, as well as a free lunch at Arby's. :p

[TheRealBigBoss]

Actually... that's the song I was thinking of. :p

Oh-hoho, you are going to get it now. I'll be in the fallout bunker, waiting your end. :p

[Croswynd]

I've been busy with life stuff, too, funnily enough. But I'm back now. Hi.

[RaKais]

I've wondered where you've been when I've had a nice fresh chapter awaiting your review...

[Croswynd]

I've wondered where you've been when I've had a nice fresh chapter awaiting your review...

I'll get to it, soon. I pwomise.

[Wisdom Thumbs]

So, where's the Writing Prompt?

Anywhere?

[RaKais]

Get on the ball, Grub!

[SKORGE]

Remind me again: How many Stanley Cups have the Cansucks won? :p

Stanley Cups? Zero. Unless you count the Vancouver Millionaires who won in 1915, marking the first time the cup was ever won by a West Coast team.

But we do have:

- Division Champions x8
- Confrence Champions x3
- Clarence S. Campbell Bowl x3
- President's Trophy
- Calder Memorial Trophy
- Jack Adams Award x2
- Budweiser NHL Man of the Year
- King Clancy Memorial Trophy
- Lester B. Pearson Award/Ted Lindsey x2
- The NHL Plus/Minus Award
- NHL Foundation Player Award
- Scotiabank Fan Favorite Award
- Art Ross Trophy x2
- Heart Memorial Trophy
- William M. Jennings Trophy
- Frank J. Selke Trophy
- NHL GM of the Year
- First All Star Team x8
- Second All Star Team x3
- NHL All Rookie Team x4
- Cyclone Taylor Award
- Cyrus H. McLean Trophy
- Babe Pratt Trophy
- Molson Cup
- Fred J. Hume Award
- Most Exciting Player Award

Now, take into account that sooner or later, that Cup will be ours. Less prestigious teams have won the cup over the years, mainly to attract the audience which, never really works.

All those awards, through all those years, and the Cansucks STILL don't have a Stanley Cup. How sad. ;)

[TheRealBigBoss]

What was thread all about again? I've honestly forgotten. :o

[SKORGE]

All those awards, through all those years, and the Cansucks STILL don't have a Stanley Cup. How sad. ;)

Sure.

There's that, but then there are teams with little awards, little to no fans and still have a cup. At the end of the day, who's making more cash? The team that won a cup but has no real fans and doesn't make nearly as much money yearly as it should, is constantly on the losing end of the deal and faces bankruptcy due to poor attendance. Or the team with the many awards and no cup win, yet who's placed at eighth richest team in the NHL?

;)
