Calling all Poets, Storytellers, Writers, and Comics.
Yesterday, I finally got to the recycling depot, and I cashed in my
43,759 empty shot glasses, collecting a tidy sum of money. Normally,
I'd simply.... re-invest... the money into the brewery industry, but
seeing as no-one is taking up my challenge and submitting any articles
to the Achaean Times, I'm going to offer a tidy 50,000 gold to the
person who submits the best-written and most amusing piece, be it
satire, poetry, or anecdotal.
Naturally, there are a couple of conditions. most notably the
fact that I am *not* willing to pay out unless I recieve at *least*
10 serious entries, (A serious entry is basically defined as something
written by someone other than Jinkar on a subject other than Monkey
defecation) and that the I will be the sole judge (Although I may
ask Skarash for assistance if I end up deadlocked, since once
I pay out the 50,000 gold, I'm going to spend the next few weeks
begging him to pay my living costs)
Basically, entries will be judged on how well written they are, as
well as how funny they are, so your welcome to send me an article
on, say, the Angel Slave Trade, (Where do all those angels come
from, anyway?) or possibly the top 5 Achaean pick-up lines (I don't
know which paladin you've been talking to, baby, but duality aint
got nuthin' to do with longswords)
The winning entry, and possibly a few of the others, *will* be
published in future issues of the Achaean Times.
Best of luck, and remember, I'm offering 50,000 gold, so I'm
expecting people to actually *send* me a couple of articles
this time. Thats all, and best of luck to all of you.
