The PV Forums Week of Randomness Event!

Post by Josiah »

Ok, things need to liven up a bit so I'm introducing a new forum event! It will run for one week starting on the 16th and going through the 22nd. Details, rules, and prizes will be posted over the next few days.

The PV Forums Week of Randomness

Rules
1. The event will run from Dec 16th - Dec 22nd.
2. Every single day of the week will be different. Details for each day will be posted in the schedule ahead of time.
3. There is no need to "enter", if you post during the duration of the event you're automatically entered.
4. You will be judged each day based on how well your posts comply to that day's rules.
5. Quality of posts and number of posts will also be taken into account (the better the quality and the more posts you make the better, assuming they follow that day's rules).
6. Each day people will be awarded first, second, and third place for that day and each of those three people will be awarded points. Whoever has the most posts at the end of the week wins. However, you will not be told who won each day until after the week is over.

Schedule
Sunday 16th: Talk Like a Shakespeare Character Day (Does not apply to RPs).
Monday 17th: Don't Use the Letter 'e' Day (Does not apply to RPs). You can spll without using th lttr; but you'll obtain additional points for skillfully avoiding it.
Tuesday 18th: Speak in Haiku Day (Does not apply to RPs). (A haiku is a poem consisting of three lines, the first and third lines have 5 syllables and the second has 7.) For example:
Speaking in this form
For all of Tuesday this week
We shall attempt it

Wednesday 19th: Be Extremely Serious Day (can apply to RPs but doesn't have to).
Thursday 20th: Say it With :-) Day (does not apply to RPs). Basically, use smilies in place of words whenever possible (but don't stop using words entirely). Points for creativity, the complexity of what you're saying, and how easy it is to understand what you're trying to say.
Friday 21th: Be Sickeningly Nice and Friendly Day (can apply to RPs but doesn't have to).
Saturday 22nd: SUPER COMBO MIX UP DAY! (does not apply to RPs), Each post you can choose to do one of the following (switching between, but not during, posts is fine). 1: Talk like a serious Shakespear character while avoiding the letter e. 2. Be sickeningly nice with smilies. Be glad I didn't throw haiku into there as well but hey, bonus points if you can work a decent one in.

Prizes
1st Prize: Award Image, Special Blooper Reel Strip
2nd Prize: Award Image, Cameo in Winner's Blooper Reel Strip
3rd Prize: Award Image

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Y'know, he hasn't announced the details or rules yet. It could be a contest to see who can be the most serious for a week. Wouldn't that be random for an event called the Week of Randomness?

Also, Shadow Clones are not random. You ever been to an anime convention? They're fricken everywhere.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
