    Default Would you joing an a poetrycontest

    I'm thinking of orGAHnising an .org poetry contest but before i do that i'll check who would be interesting in joinging in. I know this is supposed to be in the meadhall but more people visit here, so thats why its here. Please just say wether you'd like the idea or not. If you have ideas please remember them or start a thread about it in the meadhall... i will soon anyway...

    Yes. I won't vote, because none of them fulfill my criteria.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Check out the oblique symmetry, the understatement that transcends reality. How the fusion, of thoughts, deeds, indeed words spew forth from the Gorgon of mythical times.

    How could one not see such beauty?

    I would do it, TS. I had to write poetry for my English GCSE and enjoyed doing it. I would uncompetitively submit an entry, just for fun.

    seriously, I may or may not join, depending on mood. I am not a great writer, after all, or poet for that matter.
    before you ask a RTW modding question make sure you have done these things:

    1. At least read these two stickies in the Modding Questions forum: Introduction and Welcome
    2. used the search function (upper right corner of your screen) to know if your Q has been asked before.
    3. browsed the Modding Answers subforum, and the Scriptorium.

    I presume the contest would be in july, rather.

    I recommend you post it in the Mead Hall soon, because that would attract perhaps more people there.

    Nah, I don't think so. Few people visit the mead hall often. The frontroom on the other hand does.

    I wouldn't. My English is not good enough for poetry. Or will this contest be in German?

    I voted "depends on the mood". I'll probably won't participate but to witness the poetic creations of others would be a nice thing. Especially you, Stranger: I look forward to what YOU create, for from what I've seen you can be quite the silly person, heh heh.
