ANNOUNCEMENT: VIE FOR VAALOR VERBS!

Ever think that you, a Vaalor Elf, could be just a little more disdainful of your lessers? Feel like the low-blooded rabble clogging the streets of your city are getting off too easy? Here's your chance to fix all that.

Your new Ta'Vaalor overlords are pleased to announce a verb contest. Give us your take on common verbs and how they might be better used by Vaalor elves to express their martial pride and casual disdain for others. All verbs are open to your interpretation, but try to keep them reasonable and useful in a wide variety of situations. For each verb, you will need to provide:

1) The messaging the verb's user sees when directing the verb at another player.
2) The messaging the verb's user sees when directing the verb at himself or herself.
3) The messaging the verb's user sees when directing the verb at a creature.
4) The messaging the verb's user sees when directing the verb at an object.
5) The messaging another player sees when the verb is directed at him or her.
6) The messaging another player sees when the verb is directed at the user.
7) The messaging another player sees when the verb is directed at a creature.
8) The messaging another player sees when the verb is directed at an object.

Prizes will be awarded for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.

All entries should be sent to GS4-Alyias@play.net. The deadline for this contest is Friday, the 4th of July, at midnight. Winners will be selected based on the originality, usability, and the sterotypical Vaalorishness of their verbs.
