Chaos League presents: The Chaotic Limerick contest!

Marvel Puzzle Quest MPQ General Discussion
1

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

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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!

7

I love your work.

8

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?

9

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!

10

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.

11

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.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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?

(hyphenated to evade the Tinykitty Intergalactic Space Fleet, remove for judging purposes)

18

a wee tale, 'tis short but 'tis true
the play’rs include me, poss’bly you
we all love this game
(and you all know it’s name)
but the Howlers, we just say, “WAH-HOO!”

…ahh… doggerel…

19

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.

20

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!
