Here at the Chaos League alliance, we believe in fostering, growing, and giving back to the Marvel Puzzle Quest community. And we realized that with alliance rewards, for the first time in the history of the game, we can actually give meaningful rewards to people! With that in mind, Chaos League proudly presents our first-ever contest: The Chaotic Limerick contest!

Contest and rules
The contest is simple. You write a limerick that is MPQ-themed, and post it in this thread by Sunday, March 30th, at noon PDT. You may write as many limericks as you like, but if you submit multiple ones, you must mark one of them as the one you want judged; otherwise we'll judge only the first one. Please post only once in this thread; edit the post later if you want to change your submission.

IMPORTANT: A limerick has a proper form! Your limerick must scan in order to qualify -- that is, it is insufficient just to rhyme, you must also follow the correct meter (3 feet of 3 syllables each). See the wiki entry for full details on proper limerick construction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limerick_(poetry). We'll post all qualified and disqualified entries in this post.

Prizes
What would a contest be without prizes? We have two:

Early bird prize: The first person to submit a limerick that scans will be admitted to our alliance for the remainder of the current subevent and the Thor event, and will get to win whatever prizes we qualify for (currently #33 in simulator easy, #34 in simulator hard, and #24 in Lord of Thunder). Edit: won by Eddiemon!

Grand prize: The best limerick will be admitted to our alliance for the end of the Unholy Outlaw event and allowed to stay through the end of the Simulator event, and will get to win whatever prizes we qualify for (currently #38 in simulator, and we've never failed to at least win a cover in a PvP tournament).

After each event is over, we'll ask the winner to leave the alliance so that we can keep a slot open for future contests.

We know that many of you are already in an alliance, so prizes are fully transferrable -- if you win a prize, you may designate someone else, and we'll accept them in your stead.

Have fun!

Qualified:
Eddiemon (purple v. pink) - wins the early bird prize!
Nonce Equitaur 2

Dirigible Pilot

Not qualified - did not scan

    An angry internet troll's railing
    'cos battles he's constantly failing
    I blame spiderman
    nerf him if you can
    I'm over tinykitty scaling

    Edit: Tinykitty is too hard to scan. Tinnykitty it.

    I don't want to raise a big stink
    Cause D3 are trying, I think
    But once in a while
    I look at a tile
    its not bloody purple, its pink.

    While matching up colorful stones
    Hulk's Anger ellicits some groans.
    But I hate to engage
    Daken's Pheromone Rage,
    And Bull's Adamantium Bones.

    Though blind, our Daredevil's cunning
    Equalizer and Ambush outgunning
    Anyone with crotched kick
    Just the slightest wrong click
    Will be deadly or equal or stunning.

    There first was a two star named Thor
    Who made most of the mid-team's core
    The devs made him sub-par
    Then added a Star
    And now it's worse than before.

    The forums won't let us cuss,
    but people still love to fuss,
    to escape all the bitchin's
    I joined (insert alliance name here since I can't type it out)
    now all your sinks are below to us


    No need to judge, just participating!

    Creating a sig can be fun
    Alliance mates in every one
    to my greatest shame
    Theres nobody's name
    In their place what have I done?

    Eddimon has graciously passed on his early bird prize, so if there's anyone out there who wants a free 100 hp, yellow Patch, and 4000 ISO, there's still time to submit a limerick that scans!

    There once was a dude named T'Challa
    Whose body made all the chicks holler
    Though his mask ain't that pretty
    He's no tinykitty...
    Poor flat Mags--T'Challa's a baller!

    Edit: By the way, if I don't win, can we have an Honorable Mention award for "Best Incorporation Of Tinykitty Into Your Limerick"? Also, mine works best if you imagine Tim Curry as Dr. Frankenfurter reading it.

    There once was a guy named Klingsor
    Who threatened to show you the door
    If your points weren't high
    You were left out to dry
    But now his antics have become such a bore.


    Edit: no feelings were hurt in the making of this Limerick.

    The Devs have angered the moose
    They let the lazy characters loose
    No more money will be spent
    Providing cash for rent
    Fix it and we'll call a truce


    I'm not much of a poet, does this qualify?

    Mark this one for judgment

    Jessica Alba did make her gorgeous
    But what MPQ did to her was atrocious
    Yes the acting was bad
    Even buffed she's still sad
    Why do they treat the Invisible Woman so vicious

    I really enjoy this Forum
    Mostly when I suffer from boredom
    Limericks are pretty fun
    This one is almost done
    Holy **** this topic was random icon_e_biggrin.gif

    This game often consumes me
    My time, sanity, and money
    Im serious of course
    Could my life be worse?
    This was not meant to be funny

    People often watch their TV
    While waiting for characters to get healthy
    Why does it take so long
    Refresh in the prologue?
    People should just turn it all off in agony

    A dev saw a hero growing old
    And remade him with three stars of gold
    Some men call it lazy
    But I think they're crazy
    How else would fitted kitch-ens be sold?

    Our rosters, we cherish and polish
    Opponents, we try to demolish
    We match three for hours
    To make covers ours
    Our lives, MPQ will abolish

    Sarcasm! I will overcome my addiction yet, for another addiction of course.

    Could have been hard, but one champ made it cushy
    Spidey stuns n' heals, does that make me a wussy?
    Listen to facts
    Man up use healthpacks
    And quit being such a tiny kitty!

    There once was a fellow called Peter
    Who, some people'd say, was a cheater
    For he never would stop
    Once he'd used "All Tied Up"
    But I think there's nobody neater!

    There once was a Doctor of Doom
    Whose strength you should never assume
    Some demons he'd summon
    And once they were comin'
    You'd have been defeated- KABOOM!

    The Norse god of thunder is Thor
    Of his fairness, D3 was unsure
    So they changed up his skills
    So that, of his kills
    Everyone would be conf'dent no more!

    Invisible Woman was bad
    As a four-star, it's frankly quite sad
    D3 made her better
    So we'd try to get 'er
    But- lo and behold- we'd been had!

    Devil Dino will show up sometimes
    Skin of red, and eyes all aflime
    He'll use green (and not red!)
    To bite off your head
    Now I just have to make sure this rhymes!

    Thus follows the tale of poor Daken
    (A youth who was often caught slackin')
    He attacked dear old dad
    An idea which was bad
    He went down in a hail of "chik-chak"in'

    The Punisher has Retribution
    For high health, it's a perfect solution
    When they get taken down
    By this man with a frown-
    Well, it's just such a cool execution!

    This next one is also my submission for the Holy Church of Patch's writing competition (because clearly such a thing exists):
    Adamantium claws are possessed
    By who's truly the best of the best
    Using red green and yellow <
    Judge this one, please.
    To take down any fellow
    And all while impeccably dressed!

    His wares, you can be sure he's pitchin'
    Do we hate him? Well, only a smidgen
    Annoying the rest
    With his undying quest
    To sell you a great fitted kitch.en!

    I just couldn't restrain myself icon_mrgreen.gif
    Such a great thread!
