Since these games are soo fun, I've decided to try and get one going.
Prize: The game will go on for 10 rounds. The winner of the thing will create a character with age and looks and everything and a background and I'll come up with a story for that char that will be posted in the forums.
And with that...
*tosse thingy in the trash*

Hey, what a coincidence, I was just planning to revive this myself... Smart move, you could end up getting a lot of bonus points out of this if it gets big again.
Speaking of which, I was gonna do this anyway when I revived the thread so I might as well do it now. For the duration of the King of the Forums Contest, the winner of each round of the thingy game gets 2 bonus points (that's in addition to the points you get for posting in the game itself). Neo is not eligable for said bonus since he went and started the thread before I could and is now the guy in charge of it. Besides, he'll be getting bonus points for how many posts are in this thread anyway. I'm sure Neo will be totally fair in the way he runs the game so I don't think there will be any problems. Oh yes, if I win a round I'll randomly give the 2 points to someone else who participated in that round.
Now that that's taken care of... *Encases the trash can with the thingy inside in concrete and uses it as part of a sidewalk.*

*Claims the piece of sidewalk in the name of Silver*
"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.
