An A-N Xmas - Day 6

Posted 18th of December, 2009 at 04:59 pm by stubbietubbie stubbietubbie is offline


Put that cookie down! Now!

Day six is of this merry little competition has passed, and another bountiful supply of entries have fallen into our laps like cheap hookers with runny noses, but for once we're allowed to touch. And grope we did. I mean touch. Riffling through them all, we had to choose only one winner, which sucks, because we could've easily given it to three. That's the quality we had to contend with in choosing the entry that best illustrated the creator's vision of their own Santa's workshop. But sorry guys, only one winner to rule them all, and that ruler is...


Toadsiliwrath!
Winning entry:

_______________


Quite a lot of detail in there, right down to parts you erased. Congratulations on winning. Expect a PM soon regarding your prize.


Day 7 is baring down upon us like a... uh, bear? Anyway, this one's a piece of urine, just write in 40 words or less (oh we'll be counting, we will...) which Nintendo character YOU (not your Mum, Jesus, or your pet Maltese; you)would invite around for Christmas. The wilder and more hilarious the entries the less likely they'll be chosen. I think that's how these things usually work, right? Entries close midnight tonight so get those entries PM'd to BoonMcNougat on the double. Good luck.

And what do you get for all your hard, hard work? Why free, non-GST, tax deductible Wii Points to waste on whatever you want. Winners will be gifted them in due time. Most of these competitions will earn the winner 500 Wii Points, with the final two days gaining 1000 Wii Points each. Want a reminder of what you have to do? Well, here's the list:

Box factory? Have any of the workers ever had their hands cut off by the machinery?

Just to put this out there before people make judgments, this entry was only cooked up a mere two hours before the deadline, resulting in my half-asleep brain feebly piecing something together. Using a Tardus to explain every present in the world magically fitting in the sleigh, and a box factory in the shape of a circle... oh the HUMANITY!

Make no mistake though that I am honoured to win the prize, so I'll take this opportunity to thank Aussie-Nintendo for their generous gift. :) I hope more people take some time to enter these events, as it can be quite fun, embarrassing and rewarding at the same time.

Cheers for pointing that out; I had a feeling I may have spelt it wrong, but given my fatigue at the time, I didn't bother consulting a source to avoid such an error. This is despite consulting the IRC chatroom numerous times earlier about spelling; guess I just got lazy towards the end. :P

Fortunately, at least people know what I meant... even if it's an additional checkmark of ridicule and embarrassment on my half. ^_^

Do you know how long the hours are Santa has to work to churn out toys for the whole freaking planet? He needs the biggest coffee room, and all the coffee he can get.

Also Chimp and Toads - I love you guys :P

Send your entries in a PM to BoonMcNougat - the details are at the end of the first post.

EDIT: And your second signature image is too high for the forums. 120 pixels is the maximum total allowance for sigs on A-N.

Wait, does that mean that Santa's workshop is SE of the North Pole?

By my calculations that makes it somewhere on this red line here.

If only I thought about entering this then I could have made a workshop in SSBB using the stage builder but it wouldn't of had much detail. Toadsiliwrath would have been the winner anyway and he is.
