[QUOTE="Quickbeam, post: 652223, member: 635"] ** Congrats to Nifft. ** I'm ready whenever someone else chimes in, and I'd love to start tonight if possible. ** And at the risk of upsetting our judge, I'm not surprised the bright llama was used "weakly" or as "comic relief" in the entires posted by Wicht and Nifft. It's not exactly an inspiring ingredient, now is it? I mean, when I first read the theme element list I thought, "What the heck does he mean by bright llama? Is this some new creature from BoVD? or ToH?" Incognito, I understand the challenge you (and nemmerle) face in coming up with unrelated and often unusual story ingredients for us to use. But you must understand that some ingredients just beg to be used in silly ways, like kazoos from the Holiday Iron DM tourney. It's damn hard to take llamas seriously :p. I mean you no disrespect and I hope you don't penalize me for speaking my mind herein. I take this tournament [i]very[/i] seriously, but that doesn't mean an odd ingredient can't be used to provide comedy in an otherwise thrilling adventure story. You're saddled with the task of providing us with unique theme elements (and judging), while we're asked to employ them in a clever, cohesive, compelling manner. Sometimes (like with llamas and kazoos) that's mighty hard to do without a silent wink wink, nudge nudge ;). [/QUOTE]
