Clan coconut contest #3 The Lore Pits

Okay guys this time we are going all out on the coconut contest.

If you have a brain in your head then you have a chance to win big here(not to offend any zombie among us).

Anyway this is the drill, we need another chapter added to our lore. To do this we are outsourcing the thinking to you guys. All you have to do is post a list of twenty items of lore ranging from things you make up to events that actually happened since the last time we sent out the lore. This is why it's easy. You make it up, and if we like it we are gonna reward you for it. 3 coconuts to each little tidbit that we decide to include and a much grander prize of 20 to the single person who we choose the most ideas from(if none then we will hit random.org again).

The mods will not be entering this one because each of us will be judging, and I myself will be composing(unless I decide to outsource that to Korea). So come up with some ideas and hopefully you will get rewarded.

Also don't forget to include some actually happening in the game/clan that really affected us. EG: The peaceful end to the first clan war.

It was in the dead of night, when it came. It came and robbed all of us in the G.U.E of everything we had. Although we were injured, we got back up and fought. But what were we fighting? We did not know. Was it a grue? Was it a giant man eating mummy? Or was it a group of rouge warriors? We did not know. Now that the fight was over we had to aid our wounded and restore are armory.Everybody who was young, wounded and lost came to us. There was so many people following us now, that we formed a clan. The clan, named after Dave's vision, was the BGL.The Beginners Get Lucky. That is the tale of the beginning of the greatest clan that ever lived and will ever live!

nice beginning.

Very nice...

For those that don't know the original lore behind The BGL, here's the letter BGL Dave sent out way back when.... (I can't help it, I'm a packrat and I keep everything):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: May 1, 2010

Message From: BGL Dave

Message To: ShockTart

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a cold, lonely night. There I sat, alone... unaware that a movement was rising up in Zork and that a nondescript salesman by the name of Dave was about to be thrust on a journey that would forever change the entire Zorkdom.

I'm Dave, and this is my story of that night, exactly 1 month ago.

Three letters came to mind on that night.

B G L

I thought I knew what those three letters meant, so I tried to contact those I thought would make them come true.

Alas, no response.

As the minutes stretched into hours, as secondary-character by secondary-character met with defeat and anguish, suddenly, B G L became very clear.

The Beginners Get Lucky.

And so I knew they should. No longer should this new wave of Zorkers entering the Zorkdom flounder about, getting pummeled by a past generation that had exploited flaws in the land that led towards billions in wealth! No longer should fired salesmen and saleswomen have to waste valuable AP to learn secret techniques for greatness! No! The beginners should get lucky. The beginners WILL get lucky tonight.

And on that first night, The BGL was birthed. To stand for all of the new wave of Zorkers. To train and equip, explore and engage, to teach and learn. To be willing to sacrifice time and zorkmids for a fellow new wave Zorker. To *gulp* forgo the plunders of an earlier era in hopes of establishing something that we can all call our own.

This is The BGL. A friend to all new Zorkers, including the arriving members of the Forsaken clan.

More will follow. Will you stay? Will you stay in The BGL and make your mark on all of the Zorkdom by becoming great, and in doing so, helping all Beginners Get Lucky?!

It was a cold, lonely night in Zork one month ago to this very moment. But now, 1400 fired salesmen and saleswomen are united, and all of Zork will never be the same again.

I must admit, dave has good stories in him, though i kinda like his current books better.

on a dark and stormy night dave busted down the door and scremed get out get out. All the best an highest level people they fought for 2 days and 3 nights before dave the last one standing from his little town won the battle. Then he said we will not stand for this we need a clan like an army he calls his best friend ginzki he is a lv 16 but has a gambit of 100 he could not fight but he will next time. Now they train the new wave of zorkers and they will thrive.

Hmm... a little help on what kind of 'lore' you're looking for would be good. The letter works well for a clan introduction, I'd hate to see it removed. Are you looking for 'first lines for incomplete stories'? Descriptions of new monsters or wizard new devices for the clan to submit for inclusion in the 'zorkipedia'? Tall tales of daring do's and daring don'ts for the would-be explorers?

What about monkeys? Monkeys are cool...

What qualifies as 'clan lore'?

all it really needs to be is a list of events since our founding, or the leaving off of that letter, up to this date. Our leader can incorporate them into the lore since he is a writer. you can use our "clan War" as a start point and incorporate the missions the Prof. Maple has for our arena and overly board members doing.

Ah. Perhaps I should let someone who was actually here act as loremaster then...

If you weren't here for the actual events why not submit some belly ticklers that are works of fiction. That is the second half of the contest anyway. Our lore is fluid after all, some of the events that didn't happen now happened never, and never is a place that the BGL is bringing to the forefront. Look at our armory, it is becoming great, bwahahahahaha. *devolves into hysterics*
