I figured I'd post this here in case someone was interested in entering. The guys at Penny Arcade are running a contest where you send a description of ten words in the WoW setting, and if you win, you get a lot of WoW trading card stuff, including code to gain the following mount: X-51 Nether-Rocket

Further details at Penny Arcade 's news page.

Deadline is april 10th.

Oh yeah. I'm entering.

I need cash badly. Shall we bounce ideas off here?

If any guildies win I suppose we could split it amongst us.

If any of us are up to the challenge. It's harder than it sounds.

-counts entry-

Ahem.

Well.

Excuse me while I go curl up into a corner and cry. In my defense, I was drunk on Mt. Dew and had been reading some old Penny Arcade strips.

Get drunk on good stuff next time and read my fanfic at fanfiction.net. It will make you laugh, cry, lose 15 pounds and more.

Shut up, Holy. I entered, myself. Mine was really crappy. Took me all of two minutes. Wish I'd gone with my first idea.

Heh, I posted this, but haven't sent anything and today is the deadline.

Might send something when I get home, though.

I am kinda curious as to how exactly the code thing works. Can you use the code for all your characters (well, in a specific server at least) or just one specific character?

I got the impression that you could re-use codes since you can use the same code to first get the normal rocket mount, and then re-use it again to get the epic version of the rocket mount. But not sure if it's just because it'd be the same character re-using the code or because it's just a re-usable code, period.

Oh, and keep in mind, guys, that you -can- make multiple entries. It sounds like you guys just sent one entry each.

You can? I didn't see that anywhere.

Then again, I didn't see anything that said we couldn't either....

Sweet.

You didn't read the whole news, you probably only read the first segment. :rolleyes:

As per the "Contest Etceteras" news bit:
You can enter as many times as you like, but please try to contain all entries in the body of a single email. You aren't going to go to prison if you don't, but we're only two guys, and this is starting to get crazy. We do have a limit on shitty entries: we ask that you limit those to zero.

I bolded and highlighted the last line for your benefit, fearless leader. ;)

Sweet, something to do during Econ tonight. TO THE DRAWING BOARD!

BTW, my first (really shitty) submission: "Why," asked the priest, "can't they keep enemies off me?"

My first thought was a really quick ditty about how I survived two wipes in Karazhan thanks entirely to my cowardice (it saved me, not caused the wipes.) Time to send that one:

Cowardice saves mages from Nightbane wipes: Invisibility, run, Ice Block!

Maybe I'll send variations on the theme.... *ponders*

1) Murlocs surrounded the polymorphed rogue as a hiding mage cackled.
2) "Eat my dust, gnome!" Razzeric glefully screamed, ignoring the burns.
3) "...my ass is stuck to the ice," explained Arthas embarrasedly.
4) The naked Theradras screeched as adventurers retched. "Not ready yet!"

Entries I just sent.

Might send more after class.

I sent in a couple. One is really good but embarrassing. I will tell you guys if I win what it was, if not you will be in the dark forever. HAHAHA

This was one: I can sheep you without having you targeted, feeling lucky.

I stole it from solar.

Yeah this contest would be really great to win. I only submitted 1 entry so far - when is the deadline? Can I still submit more?
I wrote mine after playing my hunter for a while,
"In the jungles of Stranglethorn, the hunter stalks his prey"
(remember these 10 words are supposed to be a *story*)
Anyway gl all.

Oh BTW I found out about this before seeing it on the boards from The Instance Podcast - might want to check it out: http://www.theinstance.net
It satisfies my WoW cravings when im away from my comp :P

Bashir: So of the stories you've told me, which ones were true?
Garak: My dear doctor, all of them were true.
Bashir: What about the lies?
Garak: Especially the lies.
