Revenge on the god of ice cream!

Well Hayes has already single handedly come up with the best idea since chocolate. He one the contest is over*leaves*

[HayesAJones]

Heladorus will pay for cursing me with plain vanilla flavor. His divine blood is forfeit by his offense!

Wait so it starts March 18th? Can I start my story early?

[Spuro]

... You have got to be kidding me. People are actually voting for the joke option?

Ugh. This is why I left the CKC forums.

Jesus, I sound like Dunkon.

[Demon Lord Gira]

You might as well, since it's currently a tie between gods and ice cream... I had no idea the joke would actually be getting love.

Sorry KK... It was only meant to be humorous, not a serious idea.

[Spuro]

We also seem to have more votes than actual participants. Is that... normal?

[Demon Lord Gira]

Wait a second... WAIT A SECOND. We currently have 7 writers... and 9 votes? I did not vote... so people who are not participating are voting. I feel tempted to restart the voting and have it be so that only those who are participating may vote...

NINJA, KK!

[ernesth100]

Gods is in the lead. Eitherway I'm prepared for all outcomes.

[Demon Lord Gira]

And with that, votes have come to a close. by a very narrow margin, Gods win out over Ice Cream. So, based on what you guys have voted on, Gods will be our subject. You have a full week to write your poem/short story. Be sure to have them all finished and PM'd to both me and TCS by this time next week. the judging will be finished hopefully within three days of that. I wish you all good luck, and may the best writer win.

So by gods, does that mean only gods from mythologies like the Greek or Norse Gods, or any god in general, including our own?

[Demon Lord Gira]

Any gods work. It can be either your own verse's gods, or those from actual mythology. Be sure to have fun while doing so!

[HayesAJones]

*strikes out all story ideas involving ice cream*

Well, thank goodness...

[ernesth100]

So, am I too young to enter or did I not apply properly or something?

[Demon Lord Gira]

You came too late, Ernesth. The moment the polls went up , was the moment applying for entry closed up

[ernesth100]

Nooooaaah forget it I'll watch.

[Kubo]

Okay, so something about the gods, eh? Hmm...gods of ice cream, come! bringeth inspiration to my mind!

[HayesAJones]

gods of ice cream, come! bringeth inspiration to my mind!

"GAURGH! BRAIN FREEZE! WHY? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

YOU HAVE DISPLEASED ME WITH THIS LOSS, DISCIPLE. I WILL NOT COMPETE WITH THE OTHERS AMONG MY PANTHEON.

[Demon Lord Gira]

Well... this is mildly disappointing. Due to unforeseen school related events (IE, "let's throw a 150 page epic at our students and have then need to finish this group assignment by Wednesday, hyuk hyuk!"), there will be a date extension on the Writing Contest Entries are now due one week from today, so on the 27th. And remember, there is only one round to this contest.

[wisper15]

If you wish to become a judge, Shi-ni, then that can alleviate the stress, and we can make do with just three judges.

I could do that... IF I GET ICE CREAM!!!

But seriously, I think I could manage that.
