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.

Which fought for the space that they held
They lost their name,
Along with their claim,
And all of EVE boarded the gank-train.

Finding an Orca on the gate
His joy became hate
And he became irate
And got laughed at for taking the bait.

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.

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.

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

Your concerns are duly noted, though metagaming and other sorts of account attacks are more something for players I rather not consort with.
Hence all entries to this competition posted on the EVE forums will compete for the prizes aswel.
So posting in our Forums isn't mandatory again to be eligable for a prize.

There seems to be some discussion about how a Limerick is formed.
Well to make things clear here how a Limerick is build up.
The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth having eight syllables and rhyming with one another, and the third and fourth having five or six and rhyming separately. Lines are usually written in the anapaestic meter, but can also be amphibrachic.
The first line traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. In early limericks, the last line was often essentially a repeat of the first line, although this is no longer customary.

I agree. This is the winner so far.
My contribution is a copy/paste, but the maturity level of the forum demands it:
There once was a man named Bertold
Who drank beer when the weather grew cold
As he reached for his cup...
"NEEEEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!!!"

Couldn't register on your forum so i will post mine here.
We went through the gate
And the FC said wait
So we gathered around
With nary a sound
For someone to come and donate
A sucker came through
Didn't know what to do
His ship was our prey
So we blew it away
And blasted his little pod too

there once was an alliance named goon
the stench of which caused me to swoon
when the nap came to town
they followed it down
and let their blues clear all the room
from the moment the battle began
they let others carry the plan
the chestbeating was loud
the goonies were proud
and in to delve they all crammed
5 thousand or more its true
even not counting the blues
complaining of blobs
and renaming of bobs
they dont take it all srsly do you ?

I decided to start playing Eve,
With a Caldari miner called ôSteveö.
From the station he flew,
Straight into a blue
Screen of death: for his untimely demise, should I grieve?
ôEve is about PvPö
I was told. But, all I can see
Are spacefaring craft
Many lightyears apart
Unsure where the action will be.

Eve has it's faults, you all know them;
For each win, there's an hours' tedium.
But if you like spreadsheets,
And can swindle and cheat,
You can fund your game through the PLEX system.

There once was a player named Liath
Who.... Can't find anything rhyming with Liath..

Said Mother Tern to Baby Tern
"Would you like a brother?"
Said Baby Tern to Mother Tern
"Yes, one good tern deserves another"
Entered it cos its a brilliant limerick but the prize reward aint enough to warrant an Eve related version

Here I sit in a *elluva caper,
The guy before me used all the paper,
My freighter's leaving and I can't linger,
So look out *** here comes my finger!

There once was a pilot from Dupree
Who named his ship everyone target me
The red leader shouted
As his fleet was just routed
Why is everyone shooting at the FC

It¦s a favourite personal peeve
to plunder, roam and grieve
the ships that I lost
at terrible cost
in the universe called Eve

Well that is actually real easy.
People who posted on our forums with another name then their ingame character are still able to log into the post they made and edit it and post their character names.

At the moment there is a heated discussion over place 1, 2 and 3.
We already managed to cramp it down to the last 5.
This evening at about 20:00 EVE time the winners will officially be announced.
The next contest will be held begin Mai.
This will not be a writing contest and the prizes will be more appealing to a larger audience.
The next competition will have a max of 50 entries.
Again there will be no fee to participate though people applying will have to be online for the next contest.

Well, the judges came in and we have the winners voted.
It was a neck at neck race and we even ended up with a joint 3rd place so there will be 2 cruisers next to a battleship and a battlecruiser.
Joint 3rd place are:
Menod Penter:
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.
Kunza:
The Goons, they have no decorum
Their threadnaughts fill the EVE forum
The Goons won't deny
They make Pubbies cry
And Kenny, they just deplore 'em
2nd place:
Benevolent Cultist:
I figured that I was in trouble
When I jumped myself into a bubble,
But I managed retreat
From the jaws of defeat
Thanks to gatecampers oft seeing double
And the winner is:
Jen Takhesis:
There once was a space game called Eve
Which was harder than you could believe.
Fools came over from WoW;
"I'm quitting!" they'd vow.
Can I have your stuffs when you leave?
Ingame mails going out to aquire information about which ship is wanted.
The ship will be placed in a contract for 1 week at Jita unless other arrangements will be made.
I wish to express my thanks to all participants.
The winning Limerick will be worked over to get a sort of makeover in a more appropriate style. tekst will stay the same.
Link to it will be provided as soon as work is done.

So many people to thank, yet so little time.
First I'd like to thank Red Horizon Inc for hosting the contest.
I also would like to thank my agent, without her I could never find my keys.
Then there is the Rens Council of Elders, without them I would have no ice cream.
My dear old mother in Jita, bless her soul and all the pilots she 'services'.
Any hoot.... Thanks again, it was a honor to be able to participate.
Have A Nice Day :)

Indeed, well done on setting up this contest. It was a lovely change from the usual forum antics.
I would like to thank my hairdresser, without whom none of this would have been possible. Do you hear me, NONE OF IT!!1!! Also, I too would like to thank Menod's mother. The old gal sure is keeping busy.
And of course finally Red Horizon Inc, for apparently being awesome.
Benevolent Cultist, Monastery Master of Rens.

Wow, thank you Red Horizon for holding this contest. I really hadn't expected to win. I enjoyed reading everyone's entries. This has been a fun change of pace on the forums.

I have one question about the contest. Since all of the winning entries were from this forum rather than your corps forum, did you consider any of the limericks posted on your forum?
Specifically, did you have a chance to read mine?
A voyage among stars Astrographical
Species in conflict most Tactical
Pirates and Carebears
Sellers of Hardwares
Amix the World of Eve quite Practical
Empire, Low sec, or Lawless Space
Take your pick, but don't make a Face
When rushing the void
And bubbles deployed
That pirate gate campers give Chase!
Legends speak of Knowledge Keepers
Probes sent forth as Wormhole Seekers
Explorers Unite
They're in for a fight
We have awakened the Sleepers
Let me tell you a story Sobbed
Of an alliance that was Robbed
They lost all their space
And their name erased
A trick forever known as "Bob'd"
A Pirate on the gate she sat
Her wallet from looting made fat
In jumped a badger
Baiting to catcher
She awoke in a new clone vat!

Yes they were all from this forum, but that wasn't the reason they won.
We did read the entries on our forums aswel, next to the entries here.
Yes you had several very good limericks and some of them were surely up for a prize if it weren't for the one slight thing.
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.
As harsh as it may seem, we did understand the reluctance of a lot of people to post on our forums due to the massive meta gaming that goes on in this game, therefor we did allow people to post on the EVE forums aswel.
We however never allowed more then one Limerick and as such you excluded yourself from participation.
I am sorry if that wasn't clear enough in the competition post, but this is how it is.
Kind regards,
KG

Why have rules if people don't apply them.
