Okay, I have seen quite a lot of really long posts lateley. So I have decided to make this contest. What you have to do is write a three paragraph essay about someone in this clan. The essay can't flame, insult, making fun of, etc. You should be talking about how nice someone is, or what a good person they are.

The contest will be judged by five judges on a point scale from 1 - 10. (If you want to be a judge PM me 4 spots left). The overal score will be determined by the average of all the judges scores. Judges may not enter the contest.

The prizes are:
3rd Place - All My RUnes, Essay Posted Here
2nd Place - 30k, Essay Posted Here
1st Place - Full Rune, Essay Posted Here

All essays should be PMed to me so no one can cheat (although I doubt someone would do that). Post here to enter yourself in the contest. Entries close on the 28th 4th at midnight. The contest ends September 4th 11th (following Saturday) at midnight. All entries recieved after midnight will not be entered. The winner will be decided as soon as possible, as will the prizes be given.

Finnaly, any suggestions to this are welcome to be posted here. if anyone would Ilike to donate any prizes feel welcome to post them here and I will add it to the list. Good Luck, and Happy writting!

Xalibur XIII's Essay (1st Place):

I had a lot of trouble deciding who to write about. At first I thought of Cspace, but then the obvious occured to me so I randomly decided to do Star Jedi (sorry Killer, I was going to do you, but my computer broke down. I don't think it likes you very much). Yes, the girl with the Mr. Saturn avvy. Anyway, everybody knows who Star is. She's just like anybody else in this pothole we call SeeD. Fun, humor loving, and tottally obsessed with runescape. I think the only difference is that she's the only one not to kill Mr. Saturn with all the new smileys.<br /> Now, about 2 months ago, I was brand new to SeeD. Of the first ten people who talked to me, she's one of 2 people that didn't say 'welcome to SeeD!' and then left. No. She actually explained some stuff to me.(Ok, not <i> that </i> much, but it was help). The only other person who really explained stuff to me was Cspace. Star even said she'd try to come to my pathetic little excuse for a party! (which was something like like 7 in the morning for me, who knows when for her.)<br /> Ok, now I don't know much about you guys, but I think that this clan is probably the best out there. A lot of this goes to Cspace. But even more goes to the high powers of this clan (especially the mods. And of course Rylkan, for the insanity board...). SeeD really owes a lot to Star. She's a super moderator (I think) and a good one too. And now, a toast to Star! <br /><br />OK, its over now.

Phorgot's Essay (2nd Place):

The person I'm going to right about is someone who is easy to be friends with. He's a person who you can tell secrets to, but theres a 50% chance he'll tell other friends about it, but I'm okay with that. He's been a friend since kindergarten, and now that we're going to different highschool's, we wouldn't be able to see each other as much as we use to, but we made sure that we'd still be able to see and talk to each other. This is in courtesy to Crown (formerly known as Crownguitar).

Starting around the beginning of this year is when I got Crown into playing Runescape. He thought it was a free online game that was a 'wanna-be' Diablo II. But when he started playing it, he had second thoughts. He promised that he'd be way better than me in it, but I denied it. Of course I thought I was better, but there was no mistake, he was absolutely better than me. He gained around 25 levels on his first week, when he was still a newb. I was the real newb there. He knew how to make money efficiently and quick, and me being a newb I copied him.

He's a great person, you can also ask a few other people what they think about him like, amazon, bubba, echliurn, FF7 and many more. But they would all say he's a good kid. When ever we pked, he'd be asking if anyone needs runes, lobsters, amulets or even armor, he's always prepared. Thats because he always wanted the best for the team. We didn't always have good luck when we pked, but there was always tomorrow.

Ruckus Fox's Essay (3rd Place):
My pal Michael S. What can I say about him? He’s been my life long mate for…Well, not my life, but for two years. He’s always been there, sticking with me to the very end. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have half of the quests on my quest tab done at the moment! When I was nervous of facing the dragon Elverog (Sp?) He showed me courage. That is something I’ll never forget about him, that he’s always constantly thinking of other’s and their feelings…As an ex of his said once, “You are beautiful…Beautiful, my Guardian Angel.” I just couldn’t agree more…He is a guardian angel, always watching my back…Yes; even Rogues get careless some times…He’s always willing to take the fall and lose his items while you run away.
Mike and I really owe our friendship to Beavis and Butthead© Yes…That’s right, Beavis and Butthead©. The story is short and half entertaining as well…It all started two years ago at Varrock mines. I’m not sure what he was mining, but I was mining silver or iron…Most likely silver due to my lack of crafting skills at the moment and now. Well, as you can imagine we were both very, very, very bored. So I blurt out, “I NEED SOME TEEPEE FOR MY BUNGHOLE!” …As you can imagine, everyone made stupid faces and …’s EXCEPT Mike…This was back when he still had Kaisermike…So he blurts out, “BRAAACHA CHA CHA CHA!” And we continued on for a while…Until finally, we were friends! =) Next thing you knew, we started calling each other mates, so now I guess we are…Mm….Imagine that.

Good idea. I'll just post the winners at the top.

I am doing this because it seems like we have a lot of fighting, and this could be like on of those things where you write something nice on a slip of paper and put it in a hat and pick it out and read it. I hope you get the idea.

It should be like a real essay like ones you do for school. But the differance is... you get a prize, and you don't have to do it, lol.

Heh, I'm pretty bad at essays, but I guess I'll give it a go. Of course I have to find somebody I'd be able to write 5 paragraphs about, I'm not too good at spacing things out that much. Ah well, guess I'll just see how things go.

If you're having trouble finding judges, I'd be happy to do that instead.

I thought I made it perfectly clear last time someone wanted me to write an essay...

but my essay writing skills are kind of like a quadriplegic on a trampoline. They just kinda flop around aimlessly and before long people are screaming "for the love of god, SOMEBODY STOP THIS!" screama.gif 

biglaugh.gif so that counts me out of the writing part. and there's not 5 paragraphs worth of stuff to write about me so I'm out of both areas I guess bluetongue.gif

I think this is a great Idea, but shorten it up a bit. Instead of an essay, make it a 2 paragraph topic. That way, more people will enter, and they'll be able to write the essays in 6 days. Which is another thing you should change. Give the contestants a bigger time period to work in. Maybe, September 7?
HI! I'M BACK SPORADICALLY! Nobody probably remembers me :(
