Randomly.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 05:39 AM

Post.

Raiders Army · 02-06-2007, 07:21 AM

Cool.

Raiders Army · 02-06-2007, 07:43 AM

Just a reminder: While I'm at work, I don't have FOFC access. I'll check in at lunchtime (like yesterday).

Barkeep49 · 02-06-2007, 07:49 AM

Tree mail arrives.

Quote:

Do you have a way with the written word?
The winner will hold back the werewolf herd
So hopefully you can rhyme
And have an easy time

Raiders Army · 02-06-2007, 08:18 AM

I emailed the challenge to my work. I'll work on the 8-20 line poem.

Raiders Army · 02-06-2007, 08:18 AM

Dola, and get it in at lunch today.

GoldenEagle · 02-06-2007, 08:49 AM

So, I guess we need some sort of team theme.

On to today's reward challenge. In Werewolf words are important. It's how you decide who might be a wolf or how a wolf can save himself (or herself) from getting the ax. Today's challenge will test your abilities to use words. Each tribe is to pick a theme and you will then write four poems on that theme.

One poem will be an acrostic of at least 6 lines, one a limerick, one an 8-20 line poem with a rhyme scheme, and one a haiku.

The poems are due by 7 PM today here in the thread. You may post your poems all at once or separately as the day goes on, but once a poem is posted it may not be changed.

Today you'll be playing for something that can save you here on Werewolf Island. I have here two Werewolf Idols. One of them is filled with Wolfbane and will prevent a Werewolf attack from being successful. The other is useless. The winning tribe will decide, in their Tribal Thread, who gets these two Idols. After that the possessor of the Idols may keep or pass, publicly or privately, the Idols.

There might even be some celebrity judges coming to take a look at your poems, so I'd get to work.

Survivors ready? Go!

We definitely need a theme, and RA is working on the 8-20 already. Maybe we can look at his being the theme, whatever he's choosing.

We'll need two others to step up as well. I'll take the limerick.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:08 AM

im not very good with words :-(

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:10 AM

Well, worst comes to worst, it doesn't say each poem has to by an individual. I could try and come up with something...

but mercy, I got a lot of females to put up with while I'm out. It would be hard for me to do more than one. One? I can probably wing it and get it done.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:17 AM

i could try to do the ryhme theme but im not promising, and im guessing were waiting for RA, to see what the theme is?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:18 AM

Think so. Meh, I don't like that, but we'll deal with it.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:19 AM

Try to come up with something werewolfish, though. I'm hoping that's the direction he's going with.

I'll post some stuff I can come up with over the next couple of hours.

I have an ultrasound on my neck at 1 Central, and then work after that. I'll have some net access, but really no time to be creative after that.

Anyone here can copy my work and post it as their own in the main thread, if we need it.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:30 AM

alright ill go ahead and do a werewolf rhyme poem, how many lines does it have to be?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:31 AM

Not sure. Guess enough to get the point across and rhyme.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:32 AM

this isnt for tribal council is it?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:33 AM

No, for immunity idols. Not the worst thing in the world to lose...but not something I want to lose in general.

Wikipedia the various forms of a poem. I am sure structure is going to go along way with this.

By the way, are you a vols fan? AE may love you if that is the case.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:33 AM

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:36 AM

Yes Im A BIG Vol Fan!!!

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:36 AM

How did you know, GE??

GO VOLS! ITC, if you only knew how big of a Vols fan I am...

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:39 AM

what made you become vols fan, since you live in missouri?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:41 AM

There once was a guy named Ardent
Who went to a forum so he could vent
He said, "I never lie"
They said, "You do, you must die!"
Poor Ardent was left with resent!

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:42 AM

Lived in Lenoir City when I was younger, 13-14. I started watching football then. It's hard not to capture the enthusiasm there.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 10:44 AM

oh yeah i love the great state of tennessee

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:45 AM

Where would we be with out this game?
Everyone thinks the same.
Regardless, we're happy to be here
Except the wolves, who rather be chewing on ears
Wolves are wussies
Oh, how I hate the wolves
Like I hate the Navy, I hate the wolves
Forever.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:45 AM

Amen, brother.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:47 AM

Now if I could figure out what a haiku is...

Feel free to alter the above poems as well, fellas. Like I said, at 1 pm Central I'm out, and probably out of creativity while online as well.

I'm putting off watching the latest episode of Heroes online to help.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:48 AM

I think I like the acrostic more myself.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:51 AM

The haiku is kicking my butt. 5, 7, 5, three lines? Dang.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:58 AM

I, I will survive,
If the wolves stay away
I will be alive.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 10:58 AM

Thoughts?

GoldenEagle · 02-06-2007, 11:11 AM

I think ImtheCrew and AE could have a brokeback snicker moment before this game is over with.

AE, I like the poem.

Poli · 02-06-2007, 11:12 AM

lol

Like I said, I may not be here to post them in the real thread. Feel free to adapt or just copy and paste.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 11:21 AM

sorry im back, at 12:45 ill be gone till about 3pm so i dont have alot of time, inbetween or after for a poem, but ill try

Poli · 02-06-2007, 11:22 AM

If RA has the other one, then all we need to do is change one of the ones I made or submit them.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 11:23 AM

how many have you posted? can you put them in one thread?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 11:24 AM

They are all in this thread. The haiku, the acrostic, and the limerick.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 11:26 AM

so ill do the rhyme?

Poli · 02-06-2007, 11:28 AM

You can, but I know RA is working on one. You could see if you could improve one of the other three.

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 11:30 AM

ooooooh i missread that, nvm i thought the 8-20 and rhyme were two seperate ones

ImTheCrew · 02-06-2007, 11:30 AM

ok so i thought there was 5, when there is only 4

Poli · 02-06-2007, 11:31 AM

I did as well, when I reread it I caught it.

Sorry, didn't get it done during work this morning (I know, I had to work). Working it now.

GoldenEagle · 02-06-2007, 12:54 PM

We are falling behind in the post counts. Maybe we should talk about football or something?

Raiders Army · 02-06-2007, 01:22 PM

Written rather quickly in iambic pentameter. A Shakespearean Sonnet:

Quote:

FOFC Werewolf

It started when we came to the Sideline,
To muse and talk about the game of Jim,
Blacky left and SkyDog said “This is mine!”
So he made a website for a text-sim.

And that was how eff oh eff see started,
SkyDog up front, Ryan S in the rear,
The board filled up until someone farted,
Then we voted someone out with a jeer.

And that was how WereWolf was brought about,
With no whistles and certainly no bells,
No, there are no polls, there is not a trout,
We vote to lynch WereWolves to save ourselves.

We kill all Werewolves and their evil kin,
And that is when we will finally win

By the way, I think we should title all of our poems. Gives us the edge in a judging contest.
