CHALLENGE : Write me an intro and gain ETERNAL FAME!

Ladies and gentlemen of the Mead Hall.

I come to you with an experimental CHALLENGE!

Soon I will have to host a small mafia game in the notorious Gameroom.

As you may know, each of these mafia game needs a nice and catchy introduction.

Alas, I am currently without inspiration and I figured, who else is better qualified to help me out then the bunch of excellent writers which populate the Mead Hall.

So, here we go:

The Challenge: write an intro for my small mafia game, called "The Abused Potatoes". There are plenty of concluded mafia games scattered all over the Gameroom, so you can check those to get an idea.

Setting:
- a belgian old-style "Frituur" (a shack where you can buy french fries+hamburgers and several kinds of meat - mind you, baking french fries is considered to be an art in Belgium, so we're not talking about fast food here ):



- The boss is well known throughout the country world and he has accepted 14 of the most promising fries bakers in the world as his students.
- Two of them however are members of the notorious and well known "Fruit and Vegetable"- mafia and have infiltrated the students (they will kill students during the night).

I need a story where the boss meets his students for the first time, gives them an introduction on how to make excellent fries and then tells them to go to sleep. The real students nor the boss are aware of the infiltration.

Rules:
- regular Org rules apply (no foul language);
- no more then 1.000 words;
- use your fantasy;

Hints:

I like fun and lighthearted stories.


Jury:
The INFALLIBLE Andres.

Reward:
- the one who writes the best intro gets to co-host the game with me and will be allowed to write all death scenes, lynch scenes and the final ending of the game or in other words: the winner will have extra fun challenges and even more...;
- ETERNAL FAME.
- if you would ever come to Belgium:


Just post your entries in this thread!

You lazy vlaming you.

[pevergreen]

You echo my exact thoughts.

You echo my exact thoughts.

Hah. This challenge is cosponsored by the Mead Hall. A way to allow it's regulars to have a more active role in the .org, and vice-versa. So please try to play nice, won't you?

[pevergreen]

Oh, my comment is completely hypocritical, I've done the exact same thing.

My excuse however is, my writing sucks.

[Monk]

Hey guys.

So there seems to be a bit of confusion in this thread, and people see fit to bait and ad personal attacks. Let it be known here and now that this is not the place to continue your Backroom debates or slip in quick political jabs. I had hoped that this would be a fun challenge for you Mead Hall regulars, and I still hope it can be that.

The Mead Hall is neutral ground in political matters. Please keep those things out of here.

My schedule got completely screwed while this was going on and I was unable to really write a coherent entry, Andres and I have already corresponded about that.

But come now, is there no one who wants to have ETERNAL FAME and get their work read by pretty much everyone who visits the Gameroom? True, you don't get a nice shiny reward. But tangible rewards aren't always the best kind. Sometimes exposure is a lot better.

sometimes doing your own work is better, i dont mean to sound harsh, but if you dont want to do the story for your own mafia, then dont do a mafia!

I can certainly understand the point, but this was just a way for Mead Hall regulars to branch out and really get the opportunity to effect more things around here. That's all.

If no one is really interested, then oh well!

I don't mind writing my own story, I have done that plenty of times.

In fact, it took me longer to write the OP of this thread then it usually takes me to write an intro for a small mafia.

The purpose of this thread was to get some interaction between Gameroom and Mead Hall and an opportunity for Gameroom regulars to discover the Mead Hall and vice versa.

Hosting mafia games usually asks a good deal of writing, so maybe I could get some Mead Hall regulars interested in the GR. We also have a bunch of excellent writers among our Gameroom hosts, but some of them don't visit the Mead Hall, so maybe this would draw their attention to this wonderful part of the .Org.

Sorry for any misunderstandings this thread may have caused. All I wanted was some more interaction between two subfora

[Thermal]

yeah well sorry for being hasty
