The Week of Randomness 2009

Post by Josiah »

Prepare yourselves! The 2009 Week of Randomness will be starting on Sunday!

Rules
1. The event will run from Dec 6th - Dec 12th (US Mountain Standard Time, which is the default time setting on the forums).
2. Every single day of the week will be different. Details for each day will be posted in the schedule at least a couple days ahead of time so keep checking this post.
3. There is no need to "enter", if you post during the duration of the event you're automatically entered.
4. You will be judged each day based on how well your posts comply to that day's rules.
5. Quality of posts and number of posts will also be taken into account (the higher the quality of your posts and the more posts you make the better, assuming they follow that day's rules).
6. Each day people will be awarded first, second, and third place for that day and each of those three people will be awarded points. Whoever has the most posts at the end of the week wins. However, you will not be told who won each day until after the week is over.
7. To avoid screwing things up, the daily rules do not apply to RP posts unless specifically noted. Following the daily rules in games is good, but only so long as you don't break the rules of the game itself.

Schedule
Sunday the 6th: Well, I reckon this could be that there Talk Like a Hillbilly Day.
Monday the 7th: Speak in Overly Epic Heroic Speeches Day! Rise up comrads, cast aside the restraining shackles of reality and push ownwards to your destiny! (Might work in RPs if done right.)
Tuesday the 8th: On Tuesday Josiah will observe Talk in the 3rd Person Day, because Josiah wants to do well in the Week of Randomness.
Wednesday the 9th: Wednesday is the day when we will sit and out computers and allow our fingers to depress large numbers of keys on our keyboards so as to make many sentence forming letters appear on the screen which will then be compiled into things called posts in the threads of these forums in order to comply with the demands of Explain Everything in Excruciating Detail Day.
Thursday the 10th: This is probably Be Apathetic Day, not that I really care.
Friday the 11th: Run and hide, it's Act Like the World is About to End Day! We're all doomed!!!
Saturday the 12th: SUPER COMBO MIX UP DAY!!! On this day you can use either of the following combo themes. Note that you're allowed to switch themes between, but NOT in the middle of, posts.
Option 1: Talk like an epic heroic hillbilly who thinks that the world is about to end.
Option 2: Talk in 3rd person while apathetically describing everything in excruciating detail.

Prizes
1st Prize: Award Image, Special Blooper Reel Strip
2nd Prize: Award Image, Cameo in Winner's Blooper Reel Strip
3rd Prize: Award Image

Awesomeness, I am great with 'Hillbilly Talk' as my mother is from Georgia and she talks like that when ever we go there or she talks to one of our relatives there :P

For the record, Forest Gump is a pretty good example of "hillbilly talk". And, if you need inspiration for Monday, Taishi from Comic Party and Kamina from Gurren Lagen talk that way all the time.

Erm... My.. mind normally works somewhat like a computer, so if I get stuck I can usually find an alternative method of succeeding *coughgooglecough* so, I can figure out how to be extremely epic with all (most) of my posts monday :P Given.... I'm not grounded again >>

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
