    Ok I think this one is somewhat generic but good all the same:

    Arnaul Amalric, one of the leaders of the Crusader army at the siege of Béziers in 1209, was asked by a Crusader how to distinguish the Cathars from the Catholics, he answered:

    "Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius"
    ; "Kill them all. For the Lord knoweth them that are His."

    Is it really and truly that hard to enter this contest?

    You write a short speech to your troops before a hypothetical battle in S2 and pm it to Phil.

    You don’t tell anyone what you wrote.

    He and other staff evaluate the speeches.

    Someone wins.

    It is not for posting in the thread.

    and conceals from the stupid,
    the vast limits of their knowledge.

    ...If the rules were that simple why were they crammed together in a spoiler tag?

    So the openingspost stays nice and clean.
    Don't tell me you normally enter a competition without knowing what you need to do.
