I'd like to thank EVERYONE that participated, and would like to specially thank the people for writing the raps/songs/ or poems!
A friend and I have read all of them, and decided which ones we like the best.
This doesn't mean we don't like them all though, so please don't think we didn't like them.
You guys all wrote some great pieces, thanks so much!

I loved them all, and love that people really got into it!
Look forward to MORE events such as this one!
The next contest is going to be very soon, and I hope even more people participate!

I will be PM'ing the winners today to get the best times to meet up.
I will be giving you a DIFFERENT friend code than the one under my avatar, because the stuff is on a different cartridge. You will get the friend code in the PM.

If anyone has any questions about anything, just ask!
More information for the next contest will be coming up soon.
The only thing I will tell you now is, it has to do with drawing a picture!
Details later!


I'm going to keep the raps, songs and poems up because people need to read them!
The other judge and I loved each and every one of them!

Raps and poems about PSZ-

If you submit a rap or poem, please private message me first, so I can add it to this post, so it's not lost in the thread. :D

[SPOILER-BOX]I'd really like to own that Psycho Wand.
Wouldn't want to see it thrown into a pond.
I'd wave it around
and make lots of sound.
And use it to cast mighty Zonde![/SPOILER-BOX]


GULD&MILLA

[SPOILER-BOX]God's up in all of my slots I keep it hot,
I need some monofluids so i got to hit the shop,
We go in the ruins, we bump into Falz,
I feel sorry for his butt, I give him my guild card,
If you need help gettin through super hard,
I'm happy to lend a hand,
But, first things first dog, cast shifta and deband![/SPOILER-BOX]

[SPOILER-BOX]My name is Yoshi!
Rangins my game
Got bigass guns
To bring on the pain!

Watch out hostiles!
Soon youll be full of holes
Got Celeb on my gun so
hurt's the only money it doles!

Now I open the boxes
Im lookin for Reds
gotta find some rares
'Fore my batterys dead!

Here comes the boss!
He's no match for me!
I'll send him to hell!
It's too easy!

I'll go back to town
Go to the shop
Gotta sell my stuff
It's the last stop.

But that's not all!
Cause after the store
It's back to adventure
Gonna go back for more!

Thats the end
Hope you liked my rhyme
PSOs a waitin

Overconfidence:

[SPOILER-BOX]At the base of Eternal Tower I stand,
Asking Sarisa to lend me a hand.
In the first room two Arkzein appear,
And I charge up my slicer, shaking with fear.
As I dodge the missles and unlease bright sign,
I start to think I'll end up just fine.
One Arkzein goes down and the other attacks,
But in terms of strength, it really just lacks.
Right as I think I'm getting ahead,
Kai blows up a bomb box, and now I'm dead [/SPOILER-BOX]

[SPOILER-BOX]Trying to find a psycho wand isn't the most fun thing to do
Try and try but it will never drop for you
Super Hard eternal isn't so tough
All you gotta do is be rough
Floor 10, floor 20, floor 30, and floor 40.
No luck on the wand yet, but Im not giving up.
Floor 50, floor 60, floor 70, floor 80.
Killing all the mothers that give me some nice drops!
Floor 90, only 11 more floors.
Floor 100, ohhh only one more to go!
You get to floor 101 and you stare at the mighty Heavens Mother who stands before the sun.
I always thought she kinda looked like a boy.
Changing from swords to guns to techniques
She isn't an easy challange
But once you kill her
You get those 10 extra inventory spots
And those help a lot.
You are now one step closer to having all 100 titles.[/SPOILER-BOX]

Friday by mandraxx

[SPOILER-BOX]Break out your wand
Like motherfuckin' Wrath of Khan
I'm a bust that nut
300 damage pwned

Level your char to level 100 bet
But to be quite honest
I'd rather shoot meth

See it's not the way I spend my Fridays
Drunk on hell and pushing sideways
Dreaming of the next hunewearl as my girl
fuckin' up rag rappies in a daydream candy swirl

But uh back to the story of the PSO saga
enough rares to make the craziest bitch go gaga
I'd rather have the best equipment set in the game
than a pair of diamond earrings for my girl, no way

You think I'm lame
What's better than fame?
A poet, an actor, or a maxed out name!

But if you hack that shit
it's BSOD
and there ain't no level 153
in PSZ

believe

peace[/SPOILER-BOX]

Title- Rare’s is the player soul: Read up listen to the playing online theme!

[SPOILER-BOX]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEBPiZy3geo
-Chorus
Playing online
Matching up decline
Run run
Get that rare!

Hitting that hostile
Gotta be agile
Run run
Get that rare!

what you playing through is what you gonna get
Just break the boxes you see what inside
This is the rap of "mK" for this contest!
run! run!
Get that Rare!

-Verse1
Playing to level up, playing for that desire
Still missing that weapon, I so dire
I’ll be the most powerful player in this team
This is so hard, I wanna scream
Playing this stage to reach to the boss
Let's get out of this room, there the way to pass
To the boss, I'm on my way
Playing online, don't you have the time?
Cos, a lot of unwanted rares, I be playing in vain

If you wanna get by, no time no dime
Wow! Hacking wanna fool me again
Sorry, my rhyme's gonna bore your mind
I gonna do it with this lame rap
Get ready to play, the time is now
If you’re not then you’re a fool

Chorus

-Verse2
2nd verse tribute to the real players
What I saying is so true
Cos bad drops ain gonna go away
Blaming the game is so typical
Open your menu seeing the weapons stats
I’m about to use this rare to hit some batts
This whole game is cover with nostalgia
V in this forum has a tough time to judge!

-Chorus[/SPOILER-BOX]

[SPOILER-BOX]Do you know what's worth playing for?
When it's all worth grinding for?
Does it take your breath away
When you find that awsome zero cane?

Does this game take up all of your time?
As you think of a place to grind?
Is someone gonna use their bright sign?
Maybe ruins?

With, my M&A41
We gather our arms, and take up the fight
With, my M&A41
I decided, lets go into the shrine, you and I

When you're at the end of the road
And your mag is ready to roll
This time Falz will be put in a hole
When your breaker rips the spirit of his soul

Your PA walks all over his path
As your overend destroys his ass
Falz wasn't really built to last
He's in ruins

With, my M&A41
We gather our arms, and take up the fight
With, my M&A41
I decided, lets go into the shrine, you and I

Did you try to beat him alone
When there was no one from your friend code?
Did you stand too close to his blast
Like an ass looking for a combo with a loneos...

When you've run out of scapes and die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins

With, my M&A41
We gather our arms, and take up the fight
With, my M&A41
I decided, lets go into the shrine

With, my M&A41
We gather our arms, and take up the fight
With, my M&A41
I decided, lets go into the shrine, you and I[/SPOILER-BOX]

I would suggest a lottery, that way everyone has an equal chance.

How would I go about having a lottery?
I understand the concept, but not how to do this.

I think there would be too many people to do a dice roll.
Cant there only be 6 people for that?

I second the lottery suggestion, sounds like it would work.

Have you not seen 50-sided dice before? I have one... somewhere.

But anyway, another forum I go to has a dice roll feature, when making a post. You can select the number of dice and how many sides. I think it's max is 4 20-sided dice, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I rarely use the feature.

Then their are MMOs, like WoW, which by default rolls a 100-sided dice.

Arcanas
Feb 22, 2010, 04:23 PM
Well, you could make a thread, have some sort of buy in. You can decide how many people you want to have in said lottery, and then do a random drawing. First prize can be the wand, second, third, and so forth can get that buy in.

Of course, we all know that meseta is useless though

The Arbiter
Feb 22, 2010, 04:26 PM
You could assign a number to each member that wants it, then use a random number generator to decide who gets it. Random.org's got a pretty decent RNG to use.

Or you could just do the logical thing and trade it.

I didn't know there was a 50 sided dice. :o
I don't play MMO's other than...PSU, ad I don't even play that anymore. :p

That sounds good.
Maybe we can make the buy in Trigrinders and Digrinders or something instead of meseta.

Thanks for the ideas. :D
I'll wait a few days, to see if there are more ideas, or if anyone even cares enough lol.
I do know that meseta shouldn't be the buy in though, because it is so useless.

Well, like I said in the other thread, I have almost everything I want, and if I trade for what I want, what will I hunt? :p

I'd rather give it away. Not like this is PSU, and I could use 2. You only need 1 at a time, of a certain type.
It's not like the Pwand could have any other element.

This is what I was thinking. Just assign each person a number and randomly generate it within the amount of people participating. Each number has an equal chance of coming up so it's completely fair. Each participant is only allowed 1 number.

I hope nobody who already has a wand participates just to sell it....
Even if I don't get it I'd at least want someone to make use of it and not just profit from selling it.

Feb 22, 2010, 08:40 PM
i would suggest some sort of farming event but since the only mobs drop are rares or usables, that goes out the window

there is also dice RNG or post time (hour:min:secs) but you could also make a contest: AMV, pumpkin carving, fanfic, poetry, etc. its really up to you

There have been a few good ideas on how I should give this away, but nothing solid yet.
I'll still need help on figuring out how to handle the giveaway, depending on how many people want to be in it.

I'm going to start making a list of people that want in, so I can get a figure on how many join.

So please, start "signing up" by just posting "add me!" or something.
I'll edit names from the PSU forums and here.


EDIT: Updated.

Add me please!

My suggestion for the giveaway is a game. Because of the different time zones of people on the boards, the game should not be the type where everyone needs to be there at the same time to participate, nor should it be a race type game (like first person to post the answer to a question) because it would be unfair if you started it at night US time and everyone who wanted it in Europe was asleep, effectively giving us Americans a head start.

How about you make yourself an alternate forum name and post noobish questions in the PSZ forum. Do this on several occasions and see who gives you the best feedback. This way you are awarding someone for good contribution to the community :) The noobish questions should be easy answers so that even relatively new people can participate in the giveaway.

Well, I wanted it to be more random than that.
I want to get the list of names, then do something with that.
I don't want the time zone differences get in the way of anyone's chances either.
Not a bad idea though. I think more of a lottery or drawing of the names will do better.
I have come up with an idea for up to 5 prizes though!
This is not definite, but there could be 5 people winning something, instead of 1.
Just don't quote me on that, because I'm not quite sure yet.

Sure you can add me! I'll add you as well.
The thing with me playing online though, is that my internet has a password (unfortunately, I'm living back with my mom, and she has a PW on the internet), so I have to take the password off while I play online. (The PW is WPA or something, not compatible with the DS/i).
So I only play late at night if I play online.
But, hopefully we can make a day to play or something!


btw I have PA Save Level 3 I want to trade for a Tech Save Lvl 3, ill negotiate, PM ME

Not happening. :wacko:
I'm set on doing the give-away, and my other Psychowand is a weapon I'm using!
Though, if I do...do the other 4 prizes, make sure you stick around, they will be nice weapons or armor/units.

Here's a fun idea since you want it to be more random...

After you have all the names on the list, take the first character of each name and convert it to its corresponding decimal value in ASCII (http://www.asciitable.com/) then add up all the numbers and modulo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo_operation) that number by the total number of people on the list. Whatever number you get will correspond to the a position on the list, whoever is in that position wins!

EDIT: I also recommend that you do NOT add anyone to the list who does not have their FC listed on their forum account. In addition, make sure no two names have the same FC. People might take advantage and try to make multiple forum accounts to improve their chances.

Lotteries are fun.

I say you have everyone pick a number based on a 100 sided dice and do the closest to the actual number.

Duplicates aren't allowed, first come , first serve.

Keeps favoritism rants (you know how people are ) down some. Blank lotto's tend to draw ire of people for some reason, don't know why but always a problem.

That seems too complicated. :o
I'll try it out with some tests first though.

Why not add anyone without the FC tied with the account?
I am adding people from the PSU forums too, and some of them don't come to PSO-World, and the PSU forums don't offer the FC under your avatar like here.
And I wont go through the FC list on the PSU forums, because it's too many pages.

I'm hoping for honesty.
I'll look at join dates and posts and whatnot.
If someone has no avatar, 1 post, made this month, and all the settings are at default, then I would know it was just made, and might think twice about adding them.
Other than that, I'm hoping everyone is just honest about this.

I say you have everyone pick a number based on a 100 sided dice and do the closest to the actual number.

Duplicates aren't allowed, first come , first serve.

Keeps favoritism rants (you know how people are ) down some. Blank lotto's tend to draw ire of people for some reason, don't know why but always a problem.

If I could find a 100 sided die or program that had a 100 sided die, then that wouldn't be a bad idea.
I don't think favoritism is a huge deal, since I don't come up here to these parts of the forums tooo much, and most(a lot) of the people here are fairly new members.

Look up a Web based (Usually java) dice gen site/program. Assured there are literally 1,000's of dice sites out there.

I'm a pretty big geek, I like dice.
I used to use one at the red dragon inn (a old dnd site) not sure it's still around.

Agreed most of us are new users, specifically the PS-0 crew.

Keep me out of the drawing , but I'm willing to assist you if you can't find a die generator in the next few hours/days.

If you write a rap, I'll give you something specifically, and you will still be in the drawing for the Psychowand.

That goes for anyone that writes a PS Zero rap.
I'll give you guys items on top of the chance to win the Psychowand.

The thing with me playing online though, is that my internet has a password (unfortunately, I'm living back with my mom, and she has a PW on the internet), so I have to take the password off while I play online. (The PW is WPA or something, not compatible with the DS/i).
So I only play late at night if I play online.
But, hopefully we can make a day to play or something!




My internet has a password set as well, but that's easily remedied by setting up a static IP address. Although, now that I look again, my internet has a WEP, not a WPA... So I dunno

How about a second and third rate rates(4-6 star rares)? Like e.g. Red saber, Blue saber, Cutie Beam, Pinky Beam, Crimsonfield or Calamity Soul? However it depend if you got any of good rares to be place for second or third and how many of us really want it.

At least with a rap song, it can be fun for the writer and readers.

Rap music in and of itself is not a bad thing, however the vast majority of rap music contains lyrics ridden with sex, drugs, and violence. There was a time when the clean rap was popular and the crap was a subculture, but those roles seem to have swapped. It disgusts me to see children singing about what they are gonna do to their hos.

Feb 24, 2010, 12:09 PM
EDIT: I love you chaos

I never said it would(EDIT: this sentence is in response to you asking if I thought your rap would be dirty). Here is my line of thinking.

1) the popular modern rap is polluting society
2) Though I do not do this, many people will associate ALL rap with the bad kind. The same thing happened with rock and roll, the same thing happened to dungeons and dragons (people seriously thought anyone playing DnD is a baby killer)
3) Thus, in the minds of many, perfectly clean rap is closely associated to the bad kind
4) By associating PSZ with rap, others who associate all rap with bad things will commutitively associate PSZ with bad things.

This is the cynic in me speaking. If you aren't following me, you are yet innocent and I should not attempt to ruin your view of the world.

Alright, first I want to say....SEX, DRUGS, and ROCK AND ROLL...
That was the slogan way before rap was in the picture. :p


Also, I don't think you fully understand rap.
It's more then just sex, drugs, gang/race wars.
You have to hear the lyrics, feel where the person/people are coming from.
Maybe the way you grow up has to do with how you take in lyrics.
Most rap songs (as well as other genres of music) tells a story, or stories.
Please do not discriminate against rap with your non-fact opinions. (I say this without trying to be rude).

A fun, and clean PSZ rap is accepted. This is my giveaway, and my items for reward.
You're welcome to join the event/s, but please if you will make this thread go off topic, make a new thread in rants or something.

As for the drawing/paint/art, I mentioned something a few pages back about possibly giving away my other Psychowand, but it needed to be more planned out.

That was going to be the drawing or some form of art.
I wanted to plan this one out a bit more because I love seeing how many different styles people have, and I very much enjoy learning.

Please stay on topic, and do not derail the thread with hatred towards anything, including rap, any type of music, or anything else. Thanks, and have fun! :D

Another good idea, but not something I'd use for the main give-away.
I'd stick it in with the rap contest, and depending on how many people enter, I will give those people a certain prize for entering, while still being eligible for the Psychowand.

How about instead of just rap, you can write any type of poem.
(like I said) Depending on how many people enter that part of the give-away, will depend on what is handed out, and to who.

If only you two enter (assuming since you gave the idea, you would participate), then you two will automatically get nifty prizes.

Now if I get the same amount of people as the Psychowand give-away, then I'll have to think of something else.


I'm 16 and I don't even listen tl rap generally.

It was a good idea, IMO.
Anything that utilizes creativity is good for the mind.
Not just anyone could write a decent song, whether it be rap, rock, emo, or what have you.
Give it a try, and I'll reward you for your time! :D

EDIT: Anyway, back to bed for me! :p

If you choose to write a song about PSZ, please PM it to me first, and I'll edit it in the first post somewhere so it's not lost in the thread.

Overconfidence:

At the base of Eternal Tower I stand,
Asking Sarisa to lend me a hand.
In the first room two Arkzein appear,
And I charge up my slicer, shaking with fear.
As I dodge the missles and unlease bright sign,
I start to think I'll end up just fine.
One Arkzein goes down and the other attacks,
But in terms of strength, it really just lacks.
Right as I think I'm getting ahead,
Kai blows up a bomb box, and now I'm dead :(

Okay everyone, I have put together 3 prizes (so far) from RL friends to give away for entering the rap/song or poem part of the contest!

Since there are only 5 of you, I will add two more prizes(equal value or so) to these, and then pick my favorite one.
First will get first choice of the 5 items (or if the number of entries changes, I will add more).
Second place and so on will get to pick from the remaining prizes.
I will add 1-2 more prizes more than entries, so everyone will get a pick, and not just be stuck with the leftovers.
I know I changed the rules a bit, but I really only expected to see 1-3 entries for this part. :D

Here are the prizes we've put together so far.
Twin Psycho guns are in it for Rangers.
The Starlight x2(you only get 1) will be in it for Forces.
The Yonohate In will be in it for Hunters.

(All contain no grinds)

Now, there will be more, and I will be updating them in, so don't be disappointed if you don't like these prizes.

Thanks, and keep em coming!

They got the heaven mother they got me facing I can't own the heaven light I was raised by the cast so I gotta be down with the cast team too much eternal tower hunting got me chasing dreams, I'm an educated cast with loot on my mind got my yas in my hand and a gleam in my eye i'm a high tech cast set blasting trap seter, and my fellow cast are down so don't arouse my anger (forces). Death aint nothing, but a fire trap away i'm living like do or die what can I say i'm a lv 99 cast now, but will I live to see 100 the way things are going I don't know tell me why are forces to blind to see (traps) that the ones we set for you and me.

ok, i'm a bit lost, your doing a lottery or something for the PW and a separate drawing for making a rap am i right?

I don't want to enter and mess up some ones chances at getting their first PWand, but i do need any of those things being offered for a rap. Is it possible to just enter in a rap? if so i'd be down to write one, also is there a deadline for the rap?

Volcompat321
Feb 26, 2010, 11:54 PM
Added the raps entered.

The Psychowand is the giveaway, and the rap/song, or poem me and my two RL friends will be picking out favorite.

If you enter the rap, you automatically enter the Psychowand drawing.
Entering a rap does not effect your chance to win they Pwand.
If you enter a rap, you automatically get something.
Since we will be judging the raps, first prize picks throughout the items first, and the runner-ups get to pick the rest.

Deadline for the rap is also March 1st, since no one has told me they needed more time.

Feb 27, 2010, 12:00 AM
darn....... I have to think if i want to enter a rap then. nothings a guarantee, but if i were to win the PWand i wouldn't feel right. I just wanted to enter a rap or song to see if i could win one of those other items. march 1st is monday huh, i'll sleep on it.

Volcompat321
Feb 27, 2010, 12:13 AM
What kinds of other items are there?

Items will be about the same.
Though for prizes after 3-5 place or so, I'll start giving away tons of Trigrinders or something.
I cant give my whole inventory of weps away. :p
I might even add some armor. I have a few extra decent armors with 3-4 slots.

Though the trigrinders aren't confirmed.
I currently have 200 Trigrinders stacked up, from friends and myself. :D
I hardly grind, I really don't know why I don't..

But, if I can think of better prizes, or if you guys have suggestions to add prizes, and we have one of it, then we are more than willing to put it up as a prize.

Remember though, first pick is who we think has the best rap/song or poem.
So 1st place gets first pick, second gets second, and so on, until all the rap/song or poem entries are taken care of.

Well, it's all part of a contest.
The Psychowand is the "free" part. You just have to say add me or something and you enter.

EDIT:Pokecenter- After reading through your Gangsta's Paradise rap one more time, I thought that was hilarious!
I'm writing my own rap now, just for fun. I'll edit in the first post when I finish. :p Hope you like it.

Ok here my Rap entry. Important note- This rap is a parody of the following song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEBPiZy3geo and here the original lyric http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/gur...notamashii.htm.
I generally don't like rap (I only like a few like Run DMC and that song on the link) so you pretty much got me to do the impossible. Anyway click on the link first to hear it and then read my rap so you get the rhyme and feel to it. I emit I may should have post this later but I got stuff to do before the deadline so I guess it's now or never.

Title- Rare’s is the player soul: Read up listen to the playing online theme!

-Chorus
Playing online
Matching up decline
Run run
Get that rare!

Hitting that hostile
Gotta be agile
Run run
Get that rare!

what you playing through is what you gonna get
Just break the boxes you see what inside
This is the rap of "mK" for this contest!
run! run!
Get that Rare!

-Verse1
Playing to level up, playing for that desire
Still missing that weapon, I so dire
I’ll be the most powerful player in this team
This is so hard, I wanna scream
Playing this stage to reach to the boss
Let's get out of this room, there the way to pass
To the boss, I'm on my way
Playing online, don't you have the time?
Cos, a lot of unwanted rares, I be playing in vain

If you wanna get by, no time no dime
Wow! Hacking wanna fool me again
Sorry, my rhyme's gonna bore your mind
I gonna do it with this lame rap
Get ready to play, the time is now
If you’re not then you’re a fool

Chorus

-Verse2
2nd verse tribute to the real players
What I saying is so true
Cos bad drops ain gonna go away
Blaming the game is so typical
Open your menu seeing the weapons stats
I’m about to use this rare to hit some batts
This whole game is cover with nostalgia
V in this forum has a tough time to judge!

-Chorus

You are correct, it is now too late to enter!
I'll be adding the entries from the PSU forums (which no one entered the rap/song or poem part. :/)

Me and my friend are looking over everything to see which one we like the best.
We will pick a first, second, third, and so on.
I will post everyone's prizes and PM each person when we choose.
I think we will be done picking before 6am. We got the last minute entry, and are looking it over. :D

As for the Psychowand giveaway, we will also have that winner ready by 6am!

I'll edit in the winners to the first post by 6:30 am or so.

GULD&MILLA

God's up in all of my slots I keep it hot,
I need some monofluids so i got to hit the shop,
We go in the ruins, we bump into Falz,
I feel sorry for his butt, I give him my guild card,
If you need help gettin through super hard,
I'm happy to lend a hand,
But, first things first dog, cast shifta and deband!

Booma Rap
[spoiler-box]Yeah these boomas like me
Rappys wanna fight me
Yeah these boomas mad cuz I leveled over night B,
Yeah I switched it up, I got a yas and a snow queen
So you better run before I freeze you in that blue screen
Yeah they call me stryker, my class is skyly
I'm no where to be found dog, I'm fighting in the mines
Found a couple rares, ima take 'em to the tecker
You got beef son? Just check my battle record
Yup in my luminous field, I keep it real
Boomas hatin' on me because of my tripolic shield
Gods up in all of my slots, I keep it hot
I need some monofluids, so I gotta hit the shop
As we walk into the ruins, we bump into falls
I felt sorry for his ass, I gave him my guild card
Need to get through ultimate? I'm happy to lend a hand
But first things first dogg, cast shifta and deband!

The forest lets go, the caves lets go
The mines lets go, In the ruins you know
Any level we try, when I warp through the sky
Equip my double cannon, watch the boomas fly by
If you wanna level up, you should f*** with master d
I be bringing noobs up to the ruins here be
Be a buffed out, pimped out level 200
With a hacked out, backed out, while I dupe another

[Chorus]

Blast from the past, I used to jam on the dreamcast
Barta comin out my pimp cane like its no task
Known as epilotonic, the redria chronic
Demonic fork all legit and my megid won't quit
As I run through episode 2 rafoie spam dudes
Battle mode, grants to the dome and you gon' lose
Red merge, pshyco wand, mother garb plus
Mind mats maxed like my stats bout to bust
The 1-2-3 thrust, that sacred dust
I'm the type of FO who gots the SD trust
A must, cuz if not this games lame
Murderin' bears like I'm making rares rain
My party relaxes as I hit them with resta
All these boomas like me they say I'm the best of
Olga Flow no threat, I can cap 'em all day
Yeah flowen real scared cuz he just saw my holy ray!

this is how I do, hunters guild approved
If I aint on ragol, I'm on pioneer 2
Oh you best behave, use a saber just to shave
A buster for my fade, that's how my characters made
I don't care 'bout yo class, my rooms don't need a pass
I'll loot your body 'fo I ever raise yo ass
Oh you didn't know, I warned you 'bout that hoe
My ass was never dumb enough to look for red rico
I did it for the rares, you know I never share
I wish you would take that meseta, that's a double dare
On that exp. hunt, never front, always stunt
I'm the rawest in the forest, use my foie just to light my blunt

I'm waiting to get what is hopefully not a spear, but if it is then I probally won't give a darn and I need to do some ET runs anyway so my shop stock doesn't suck.

Hey hey everyone!

I have such an awkward sleep schedule, it seems to get in the way of trading.
I think most of you have school of some sort that prevents the time I'm awake and time you can trade from taking place!

What I'll do it stay awake today, alllllll day and night in order to get the remaining people their prizes.

Please PM me the time you can trade in EST.
You guys sent me a PM saying "hey I can trade now", but by the time I get it, the message has been sitting there for a while. :p

So, tonight (still March 2, 2010), until tomorrow 11:59pm EST, I will be awake, and waiting for people to PM me the time they want to meet!
Thanks! :D

I just hope that people with a massive inventory already don't just trade away whatever they got from this contest.

Have the other 4 claimed their prizes yet? I got my DS taken away till next week, so I can wait.

Thank you for the Star Light and I ensure you King_Yoshi42 that I will not just trade it away. I mean sure I don't got a star light until now but I will value it as a momento of my rap I made for the contest (lol you got me to rap which is the last thing I will ever do).

Yes, they have.
You're stuck with the spear.

Though...if you want, and this is only because I'm generous, I can give you the other Star Light, which was originally going to be in the prize set.

I don't like to see people disappointed in the prizes.

So you can either have the spear and 50 trigrinders, or the other Star Light.
(has lower stat% than the one already given away though).

Ah, no. I'm doing a tower run (or was), and I already told you I didn't give a darn about what I got.
There will be more chances to win stuff I assume.

Keep the spear if you like. I got a better one I already use anyway.

I'm just glad as many people at least tried!
I wasn't expecting even half as many people to enter that!
It really surprised me in a very good way.

Also, please edit that quote, I probably shouldn't have called anyone out, especially that member, who has been very generous lately.

Edited. :p

There will be very many chances to win stuff!
As long as there is a community here, I'm willing to help out and throw contests as much as I can.
I'm always up for ideas, and would love to work with some more people to help get all the duties off me. (though it's not much, it would still be easier with help).

I definitely want people to enjoy themselves, as well as the other contestants and the GAME! :D

If I ever find some great stuff, I plan to throw a contest that will rival yours >_>

Or we'll team up?

Hrmmm.... I need my DS back so I can spam tower runs -_-

Teaming up is more my style.
I like competing, but not really when so many great things could come from a team!
