Well as the topic already stated we am holding a limmerick competition.
There is no fee for participating and the prizes to win aren't nber or superduper.
1st prize is a Tier 2 ( note: this isn't Tech 2) Battleship
( Tempest, Megathron, Apocalypse or Raven depending which the winner wants)
2nd prize is a battlecruiser of choice.
3rd prize is a cruiser of choice.
Now what about the rules for this competition.
Actually pretty simple.
The limmerick has to be EVE related. Any limmerick not EVE related won't compete for a prize.
Keep it tidy. This means no sexual implicit things in it. Remember, there will be younger players who will enter aswel and anyone with any sense will know where the boundries are of the tollerable.
You can only enter one limmerick. you may change your entry while the competiton runs. Anyone posting more entries will be not eligable for any prize.
RHI Corpmembers are not allowed to take part in this competition nor their spouse who are playing.
All entries will be judged by the CEO and his merry band of the Board.
If this proves to be fun for the community we will most likely hold this kind of event more often in the future and might even up the prizes for future events.
All entries should be posted in the General Chat section of our Forums which can be found here
This competition will run for exactly one week after which the winner will be announced in this thread.
The winning Limmerick will be colored up a bit and posted on the EVE forums for everyone to see.
Well I hope to see some entries.
Good luck and have fun.

she got in an ibis
flew to the gate
and was blown to the abyss

From the depths of nowhere they came,
and there mass numbers were lame,
but people cry out to the beas
even more so, when your on your knees
I suck at this...

There once was a game called Eve
whose forums my ears did make bleed.
From all of the whines
and consumption of time
because the rules players never did heed
Yay, my fist limerick? Did i do it right?

There once was an alliance from Delve
Which fought for the space that they held
They lost their name,
Along with their claim,
And all of EVE boarded the gank-train.

They all took the game rather serious
Found hours of game time just tedious
So they decided to leave
Their toy they called EvE
And the whole board asked for their precious

A ninja warped to a mission
His goal, loot to acquisition
The carebear got a quick lock
And found himself shocked
As his faction-fit ship got rocked.

A tackler was pleased at his fate
Finding an Orca on the gate
His joy became hate
And he became irate
And got laughed at for taking the bait.
Yeah, I put up more than one. I'm not interested in the prizes anyway so consider mine non-entries.

There once was an alliance leader name Rydis
Who rode into battle beside us
The reds cyno'ed in for the fight,
webbed, scrammed, damped when it was tight,
however our skills were unmatched,
Our ships not dispatched
So they used local to sit there and troll us
Sorry Rydis, I used your name in vain :)
I wanted to come up with something funny about darknesss and twinkey, but I can't think of a what rhymes with 69!!
Same deal as Jimer Lins, I just enjoyed the challenge of 'thinking' for once lol

The FC said, "warp to zero!"
I thought I'd be the hero
My bubble went up
But a response came, abrupt
You've bubbled us you fucking moron
Ratting one day in my raven
Quiet in an isk farmers haven
A red came to local
He desroyed me with his afocal
Overpowered stupid amarr lasers
Delve was a region for BOB
But Goons came along to rob
The sovereignty reset
SirMolle was bereft
and sat in a station to sob
The age of nano was lame
The age of the falcon, the same
But with nothing to hate
The whiners create
A new thing that "breaks" the game

There was a pirate named Rex,
He said "I hafta get out of this hex"
So he ratted away
All night and day
Until along came CVA
And they ALL cried "NAY!"
As their Amarrian battleships blew him away.
I thought this up off the top of my head.

Odd though it may seem, generally people don't like the risk of posting Eve related stuff on third party forums.
My IP address is my own!!
Or
Computer security is key
When using the net, you see
I'm not saying you would
But you possibly could
Try to steal my Eve-dent-i-ty.

Here's a little diddy I cooked up for my Bio last year.
If you know me(nod) then you know there is a lot of truth in it.
Written in standard limerick form.
There once was a thief from Rens,
Of which all your ore he depends,
He comes along quick,
For the ore he will nick,
Then sells it in Rens to his friends.

Does anybody here even know the rhyme scheme of a limerick??
So far I've only seen one correct one.
It is as follows (lines with the same number rhyme with each other):
1
1
2
2

That's the "classic" format. But since it's a nonsense form, latitude is generally pretty wide.
