Attention: After consulting with Sushi I have added one additional rule, asking people to refrain from using "real world" or "modern" terms in their form.

Nobody will be disqualified or punished if they post a "modern" term, but I would ask you to chose a more appropriate synonym may be substituted, for example "microwave" to "hearth," if you were the first to post.

Please, if you have any questions or concerns about the updated rules, don't hesitate to ask here or PM me!

_________________________________________________________________________
In honor of Valentines I will be running not one but two ultra-romantic Mad Lib games! These are officially sanctioned game with some awesome prizes waiting to be claimed, so get your thinking caps on and dust off your dictionary it’s time to play Mad Libs!


If you’re not familiar with Mad Libs it’s a word based game, typically played at parties or on long car trips. There is a premade story or script with missing words and the object is for players to supply the missing words completing the story. The officiator (in this case amazondreamer) keeps the story hidden, but prompts the players for the part of speech (such as “noun”, “verb” or “food”) needed to fill in the blank. An example could be as follows.
Her eyes shone like two noun plural, and her hair was as adjective as animal fur.
Since the players don’t have the context of the story, the results often ends up comical on nonsensical like
Her eyes shone like two frying pans, and her hair was as tart as boar fur.
There are two separate Mad Lib games which will take place over the next week, a sanity paced game and an insanity paced game. In this thread will be the insanity paced Mad Lib, where thrill seekers go to test their reaction times. When the event starts, I will post a prompt and anyone who is playing can respond with an appropriate word.


For information on the sanity paced Mad Lib see this thread [LINK]


You are welcome to participate in both the sanity and insanity paced mad libs. They are two separate games, and have separate prize pools.

Rules
- The first reply after I post a prompt will be taken for the Mad Lib.
- If your word is selected please wait at least three more rounds before trying again. This is to ensure as many people as possible get to play!
- For “Trait” prompts do not use unique or species-specific traits. You can see all of the traits on this page:http://samanayrs.com/traits.php
- Everyone who participates, whether or not their words are used, will be entered in for the prize pool.
- As always keep your content “PG” rated ;)
New Rule added 2/12- Please refrain from using "modern" or "real world" terms in your form. This is to try and keep world integrity.

Sound like fun? Then make sure you’re here Sunday February 12 at 7:00 PM Central/5:00PM Pacific/1:00 Feb 13 on PI for all the excitement. The game will last as long as it takes to fill out the form!

Just so we’re all on the same page, here are some of the terms which may be encountered over the course of the Mad Lib with a short definition.

Noun: a noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place or thing; for example “puppy”, “tree”, “river”, “berry.” Do not use proper nouns like “Joe Montana” or “Central Park”.

Adjective: an adjective is a describing word, usually used to modify a noun. For examples of adjectives check out this site

Verb: a verb is the part of speech that conveys an action (bring, read, walk, learn) or a state of being (be, exist, stand). Don’t worry about the conjugation of the verb (run/runs/running/ran etc), I’ll put the verb in whatever form is needed to fit the Mad Lib.

All of the other prompts will be self-explanatory :)

Results!

And finally the results are in! Together we have composed a pair of love letters! The first is the sanity paced Mad Lib, and the second is the insanity paced Mad Lib. Sushi has created the Sams described in these two letters and they have been awarded to participants along with some modiems and tradeable items! The stallion's owner will need to set up a Song for them. The owners can choose if the Song is a pair Song or if they will be open to other mares.

My Dearest Flash,

I cannot sleep for the need to be with you! Your copper locks, hunting over your angled brow... I cannot imagine the frog without the shifting tiger stripes of your emerald hide dancing before my eyes! Nay, for though your antlers are brave, your feathered tufts have never been more vibrant to me!

The first time I beheld you, smacking in the meadow, your otter tail held high and proud, I knew that you were the mare for me. With your morose disposition and your cool wit, you shine as bright as all the leaves! You are the most fresh creature I have ever known; you are perfect from the tip of your ears to the bottom of your gold spikes.

If ever there has been a mare more handy than you, all the braclets in the world would be luminous.

Your clumsiest admirer,
Fruit of the Crashing Meadow
To my clumsiest admirer,

I must admit, your letter made me quite jealous. For too long there has been a sadness in my heart as well! I ran to speak of my feelings, though, for I did not think you would dance a fair mare like me. You are so silver and pale, and your giant feathered wings are the largest I’ve ever seen!

The mere thought of your cranberry scales is enough to make my heart snort all day long! I long to skip with you beside me, your black paws wrapped protectively around me. I would admire your tribal hide leaping in the sunlight and your blue mane sweeping on the breeze!

If you should ever want someone to swim with or sigh over your bioluminesence... please think of me! I would dash with you through the forest, and think only angry things about you! You make the rock sniff! You are the sun to my hoof! The rock to my cat! Truly I say, you are my soul-squirrel.

Forever yours,
Flash of the White Gem

Hey guys! Just about two hours to go before the Insanity Mad Lib starts, but I wanted to make a quick post. After consulting with Sushi I have added one additional rule to both Mad Libs, asking people to refrain from using "modern" or "real world" terms. By this I mean specifically things like technology (microwaves, airplanes, computer games) that don't quite jive with the alternate fantasy world the Sams exist in, or specific people or locations that exist in our world (Chicago, London, Jacques Cousteau).

For the Insanity paced event I will not punish anyone for using real world terms, but if they are the first response I will ask them to think up another term. They still have "won" that round and their word will still end up in the final Mad Lib.


Any questions, feel free to ask. I'm sorry to spring this on ya'll at the last minute!
