I posted here because it seemed to be best place.
I Used to do "Kitty Magic" on Guild Wars, so I decided to do it here. If the contests work I will expand them like I did before.
As a test run, I have 2, 1000 token codes to give away.
My first try on this style of contest was to flatter me, so I'll start there.
Win 1000 cryptic points by flattering me. it's the internet and I have a wicked sense of humor. I'll pick my favorite two, and they will win!
Post your best.:rolleyes:
I know I'm not part if the off topic crowd and am in general a "witch", but I'm still offering free points....
This was a banner I used once.
Flatter me and win some points, let me see if further games are worth it.
EDIT Going to move this to Saturday, March 12th, after some thought, I don't want to drag it on too long. Also 2 winners each 1000 points.
Comments
Ok, I have questions:
> Do we have to make grpahics?
> Can we submit written work, such as songs or poetry?
> Is there a cash alternative available?
> Is it open world-wide?
Some questions more serious than others...;)
I think anything would work, I'm using the cryptic gift points, so I don't think location should make a difference. I have the 2 codes already, winners get them emailed, rather pm'd here.
As to entries, graphics are cool, but a simple line of text can win. Flatter me in this forum? I may may not post here, but I'm smart enough not to get into Horts Van.;)
Ok then. I'll compose poetry:
There was a girl called Maina
Who could definately be said to be saner
than a lot of posters here
who will always revere
the day they entered Hort's van.
Among the luring offers of sweets
one girl put out a few Tweets
"there's a bird offering freebies
Who hasn't got twinkies
Shame he also doesn't have any weinies!"
If you see police about town
it's likely Queen Cappy has dropped her crown
and that wrench known as Winters
has taken it to Clinkers
to get it valued to be sold!
It's always best to appease
The God Empress Ravenstein
Becuase if you insult her (dear lord)
Rather like a car made by Ford
You'll soon be known as a "Tin Lizzie"
Dawwwww hort is starting with a handicap, no fair.
Violets are blue
If you give me 1000 cryptic points
Forever I'll love you.
You could be my Chief Mignon ...ur MINION [weh that was close]and serve my throne
Im the kinda ruler that could leave you alone
Im not Ilpalazzo!
and your are not EXCEL
if you dont like me
you can go well
Probably a good idea. Anything with a word related to cats in this forum is a good way to get Ravenstein to start foaming at the mouth, grabbing the nearest sword or gun in her vast collection, and going on a rampage.
She let my Caitian on her bridge once.
When I beamed out, my tail was gone. :eek:
*fires at a field of cactus that have grown in a broken glass bottle dump*
There. Cat disposed of.
*catches cat in midair and takes it back to mountain lair for safe keeping*
At least it keeps me in shape.
At least this one's paying.
*terminates life support*
Oh. Too late.
Oh well. Bacon Party everyone!!
WOOOO!!
You brought this on yourself, creeper.
That line would've made 2001 have such a different feel...
As for me, I'd try for the prize, but the Daevan isn't one for excessive flattery. I'll compliment you if I feel you deserve it, of course, but excessive flattery isn't really my thing.
Toucan wants a relationship, not prizes for carnal flirting!
Only free flirts from this guy. -pokes maina with a stick for irl picture-
v(^.^)>---(<_<);
Prizes for carnal flirting? That's like a relationship. Take it from me, birdy, relationships are overrated. I'd much rather have my freedom than someone trying to tie me down! I can't be caged!

Hey there Kitty. I just gotta say I admire your bravery posting that here. Or maybe it isn't quite bravery. Something tells me you're far too cool to care what anyone here says about you. No it must be something though...Oh wait, I think I've seen this before.
Inherant Awesomness. Now inherant awesomeness is something you don't come across very often. I think I've only seen it on T.V. to be honest. But from you it shines like a beacon.
Thats why you've been given such rough treatment here. All these jerks are just jealous. But I'm sure you don't need to be told that. Short of offering marriage or fealty I don't know what else I can say or do to properly express my complete and utter admiration for you. I can only thank you for gracing us with your prescence and wish you the best with whatever awesomeness you decide to create today.
Kindest Regards,
CL.
*Bows to the crowd, blowing kisses.*
Actually the best way to get somewhere you shouldn't be is to dress appropriately for the environment, carry a manila folder with papers in it, and walk fast with your face down. It makes you look official, important, and in a hurry and security does not stop important official people who are in a hurry.
Anyway, it's a cat and rule number 37 says 'Always stop to murder a cat'.
Flattery is insincere praise and works well on the internets....
I honestly will pick a winner trying to do flattery, and a random draw on just funny responses. Sorry "I don't want to play" doesn't count, but I will enter people complaining about lack of bacon into the random draw.
I updated the OP to reflect I'm going to award on Saturday instead of Monday, no need to drag this on.
I choose off topic to test the waters because you're a close group that has a sense of humor. If I choose to continue, I'll up prizes and move to the less "friendly" (I would say less crazy, but that's wrong) general discussion.
I did say I have a wicked sense of humor, so you have two more days to "Insincerely praise" me, for free stuff. No conditions, no van to enter to collect, etc.
Last note. When I do (and have done in other games), it's like a roast, I can't be offended.:cool: Later contests were caption this pick, solve this mystery etc. I chose the Flatter option as my first here because it was my first when I did these for Guild Wars.
"A dog will flatter you but you have to flatter the cat."- George Mikes
Maina, if hort wins the draw, then you can keep your points and reward me by joining our Battle Brigades.
...Not too sure if that's flattering or not. I mean, look at us. Our sanest member is Ravenstein! We're pretty far gone.
