Ceramic DM Winter 07 (Final Judgment Posted)

[mythago]

I thought talented people getting knocked out in a tough round was what Ceramic DM was all about; the pain and horror and threats of revenge next time.. you know, blood on the floor stuff.

True, but with a 'loser's bracket' there's also the Golden Comeback of the vanquished foe.

"Berandor?! That's--that's impossible! I SAW YOU DIE!"

"Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated, you twisted fiend. Now we'll see how your Nauseous Tiger Prose stands up to my Startled Crane vers libre!"​

ooo ooo ooo

A losers bracket Yangome said

Me Me Me Count me in for that one

Or just sign me up, this place needs some more non-rhyming poetry with a haiku to start off my CDM post.

I don't think I can call my entries Stories, going to call them my CDM Entries from now on and let the judges decide what the heck it is that I am writing.

Call me for coffee, the Komodo Dragon Venti sized awaits opposition.

Alish20 will not be participating in the contest, however he does want to wish everyone good luck in the contest.

We're in need of one judge and at least one contestant to get this thing rolling. Herreman, could you please send me an email at yangnome at yangnome dot com. Thanks.

Reports of my death were gr8ly x-aggerated.

Something's defiantly wrong with the nu keyboard my teenage brother gave me 4 x-mas.

Oh, and 4 those of U you actually notice how bad I am at this: yes, I *am* that old and totally, like, not cool anymore.

Perhaps I should delegate my smack talk to my 12-year-old, just for the extra humiliation value.

Herreman, could you please send me an email at yangnome at yangnome dot com. Thanks.

Done!

I have also forwarded my order for a fresh selection of judging imps as well as an invitation for "Lady Death" to join the festivities.

Best Regards

Didn't Berandor steal 'Lady Death' for the last competition? You'd better get it back before the writing starts -- it would give him an unfair advantage if he could reap his opponents.

So that's why!
I was wondering why I had not received word from her yet - or at least a messenger of some strange nature.
Berandor, I suggest you hand her back immediately otherwise I will have to ask my wife to press my best pants so I may retrieve her personally.

Best Regards

PS: Who won last time around? I was unfortunately detained in a server void being tormented by little creatures.

I tried hard to do you justice last time, but the gnupfs just weren't the same...

here's the last contest, yangnome won. By default, I might add, so I could never get rid of... erm, I mean, restore Lady Death to her rightful place in her temple. Nor, it seems, did I ever leave your house, so I'll just leave the thing behind when I head home. Now that you're back, that is. And I'll take a beer with me.

Heh. Her last appearance:

"Berandor? Is that you?" It was Herreman.

"Thank God," I said. "You must come home."

"Yeah," Herreman said. "I'll be home shortly. Until then, though... the contest's started, and I was hoping... you know."

"You were hoping someone else would sacrifice souls to Lady Death this time? Someone, maybe, who entered your home out of worry and got stuck with an evil scythe and her annoying minions?"

"Well... when you put it like that: yes."

I cursed. "I'm stuck here, Herreman. Come quickly. Please."

"I'll hurry," he said. "But if I don't make it in time for the finals–"

"You'll have to make it," I interrupted.

"Yeah, and I will. But if I won't – someone will come and pick up Lady Death."

"Who?"

"You'll know him when you see him."

"Listen–," I began. I heard a clicking sound. Herreman had hung up. Between the two of us, he really was the wise one.
