IT'S ABOUT TO FINALLY HAPPEN...

[Funkyterrance]

Sully...
I didn't know you had it in you man, my hat's off to you buddy.

[trinicardinal]

Personally, Robinette, I think you have one of the most difficult medals to achieve in all of Conquer Club: your specific General Contribution medal. No one can even attempt to fill the slot you'd leave empty, should you ever leave. How can an institution stay standing if its foundation gives out? How can a daisy show its petals in the spring if it has no roots to absorb the nutrients it needs? It takes a certain kind of person to have such an impact with no tools.

If I'm going to be perfectly honest, I'm not even sure if I deserve to be in your game. You should have your game be a game for those that have contributed as you have, like AndyDufresne, Woodruff, and Fruitcake.

I'm just the Newsletter guy.

-Sully

Not to mention that if Sully is in the games that's one less player you have to worry about winning

Au contraire, Trinicardinal. Sully can turn on the juice if he wants to, obviously. In fact, I'm willing to bet he's been letting people win all this time because he's just that cool of a guy.

The PoD refuses to submit.

But 3 pinfalls might be possible.

[squishyg]

nice shoes, wanna play?

[stahrgazer]

I have you and even if we never meet or ever see each other, we have left our thumbprints in the thick, moist clay of each other's lives.

Pinfalls? a wrestling term perhaps?
Wouldn't be easier to slice you up? lol...

*gasp*

This is totally the best short submission ever...

normally i would prefer some degree of verbosity,
but these are the 4 most delightful words in this entire thread...
and the double entendre is simply delicious...

We have a newsletter?

perhaps we should do this for my 201st win

I thought it was cute.

That's beside the point, Sully... sheesh.
They're clanmates ffs! I call foul!
I'm going to have to read the fine print on the details of the contest, I could have sworn I saw something about employees and their family members being unable to participate...

yeah... it does look kinda bad, don't it...
but it doesn't matter who would have said them,
those submissions were destined for the short list..

especially squishy's post,
i mean, come on... pure genius right there...

[Robinette]

Thank you one and all for the submissions...
I enjoyed them all, and wished there was room for more of you.
But there can be only 5 winners, so...
After careful review, i have chosen the 5 best...

Late entries will still be accepted, and can still bump those on the list,
except for TWO entries (Woodruff and Squishyg) that are locked in.

Well, here it is... the top 5 qualifiers so far...

SHORT LIST OF THE BEST SUBMISSIONS:



WOODRUFF

Woodruff: I'll ride in his place.
Robinette: What's your name, Woodruff? I'm asking you Woodruff Thatcher, to answer me with your name? It's not Sir Woodruff. It's not Captain, or Major or Brigadier Woodruff. It's certainly not Conqueror Woodruff.
Woodruff: I'm aware of that.
Robinette: You have to be of noble birth to compete!
Woodruff: A detail. The landscape is points. Do you want to gain them or don't you?
Robinette: If the nobles find out who you are there'll be the devil to pay.
Woodruff: Then pray that they don't.

My Ringside Announcer: You are all equally blessed. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing to you to a knight, sired by knights. A knight who can trace his lineage back beyond Charlemagne. I first met him atop a mountain near Jerusalem, praying to God, asking his forgiveness for the Saracen blood spilt by his sword. Next, he amazed me still further in Italy when he saved a fatherless beauty from the would-be ravishing of her dreadful Turkish uncle. In Greece, he spent a year in silence just to better understand the sound of a whisper. And so without further gilding the lily and with no more adieu, I give to you, the seeker of serenity, the protector of Italian virginity, the enforcer of our Lord God, the one, the only, Woodruff!

I shall save one of my four spots (soon to be available, may not apply to your area, must be present to win) in the great hope to be selected for this tremendous honor and privilege!

JANOMIKE

200 Siege, stolze Zahl
nun hast du die Qual der Wahl.

Wählst du mich so werde ich,
dich besiegen sicherlich.

Tust du es nicht ist für mich klar
dass es Angst vor mir nur war.

Ok so i added a german poem as well, will give you the translation
as soon as im on your list

FRUITCAKE

I would like to join this party for one simple inescapable reason.

Whenever one is seated across from Robin, one is always assured of a very strong opposition. It is by playing such games that one hones the skills required to win more.

SQUISHYG

nice shoes, wanna play?

the final qualifiers are anxiously awaiting the news if they have made it or not...

[Funkyterrance]

Ah well, it was a good ride. I have no regrets.

[Robinette]

Ah well, it was a good ride. I have no regrets.

you give up too easily

[Funkyterrance]

Ok...
To follow in squishyg's cliche-ridden footsteps...

My name is Terrance and I am funky.
Cooks fear me, women want me.

[Victor Sullivan]

Ah well, it was a good ride. I have no regrets.

you give up too easily

In the words of Captain Morgan,



So, Funkyterrance, are you going to be the captain or the barrel?

-Sully

[NoSurvivors]

If you're having risk problems, I feel bad for you son.. I've got one-ninety-nine victories but NoSurv ain't one!

ifyaknowwhatimsayin...

[trinicardinal]

bah - time to settle the matter once and for all

this competition seems to be going more and more to the birds



while we each try to soar just a little higher



we seem to have missed the waves of change sneaking in below



then reality comes splashing in to remind people they are once again left with nothing but the bench to sit on



because a select few have gained that chance for a shot



and as the day draws to a close



the question still remains - who among us will stand out?



and start a new day as fresh as the dew on the flowers?




Everyone of these photos were taken by me in my country of Trinidad & Tobago... enjoy them folks for, just like the diversity of our country, the beauty and strength of us is as simple and as complex as the lotus



and now I ask you who dares to challenge me on the mere platform of a map where I can instead, map a country in this form?

I rest my case!

[Funkyterrance]

I rest my case!

Hmm, Ticardinal...
Giving Robinette flashbacks of being read runaway bunny while snuggled in pajamas could very well get you your seat.

Right idea - wrong story... More like Bunny travels the Caribbean
