Obscure For A Penny Zero T4

by James

can i get Aurogra without rx It’s time once again for another SPOOKY edition of OFAPZ! Team OFAPZ 4 to be exact. Let’s lay down the rules and the laws for you boys and…ghouls. Apologies for saying that but it’s the month of Samhain and we have all been locked away for far too long.

can i buy Gabapentin in mexico What is this contest? Well it’s teams of 3 tweeting out per a given theme. Your tweets go head-to-head with a rival team and are judged blindly by 11 judges who love to laugh, write and create for a living, and aren’t obsessed with Twitter (LIKE ALL OF YOU). We’re talking real diversity and inclusion here at OFAPZ Inc. Various ages, races, genders, and walks of life represented among our judging panel.

Your tweets are submitted anonymously, with text only so the judges can’t see your AVI or your handles. All they know is the words you have written. You are each placed in a bracket seeded by overall team follower count. Much like any tournament in los desportes. That’s Spanish for “the despots.” Since there are five members per team, whichever team wins a best of 3 matchups moves on to the next round. The losing team gets to hang out in the mentions.

The finals will have the final 2 teams and select 1 member to present a new freestyle tweet, On Theme Tweet, and Classic tweet.

The key here is having fun and not stressing. BUT YOU WILL STRESS! THEY ALL STRESS DOWN HERE!

Grand Prize: Tweets-to-Comics for the winning team and we are forced to call you duke or duchessoh and most importantly GLORY!!!

FAQS

Q: Can I tweet as much as I want?

A: Yes, we want you to be proud of the tweet you’ve submitted. There’s also something to be said for the psychological angle of the contest, leaving your opponent guessing which of several potential tweets you’ll actually submit. Tweet as many possible submissions as you like and pick the one you want to do battle. The only tweet that counts is the one you submit.

Q: Can I ask the judges or @Obscuregent if my tweet fits the theme?

A: No, you silly goose. You literal goose, stealing the farmer’s corn and shitting all over the sidewalk! If you have to ask, it probably doesn’t fit. We’ve got some real theme-police on this panel of judges so just make sure you’re as close as possible.

Q: Is this contest rigged?

A: This contest takes a lot of time and effort on the part of the judges and the administrator (especially the administrator and the editor of these write ups). Rigging this would be the biggest waste of time on all of Twitter, and that’s saying something. Also go fuck yourself, buddy!

Q: What If I dope my tweets to make them big and mighty? Like what if I pay people to retweet me but pretend that I don’t to seem like I’m really funny? Can I dope the results?

A: That’s the beauty of blind judging. The judges don’t see the metrics on your tweets and aren’t swayed by them. They can’t say this is genius even tho it’s a standard cliché joke told 20 years ago. Your tomfoolery has no power here!

Q: I’m blocked. Can I still participate?

A: No, because you did something to annoy The Gents or you’re racist or you saw The Joker by choice  three times in the theater and quote it like you’re profound. If you’re blocked you did SOMETHING and maybe you’re that shithead bee that thought they were an actual bee and we said FUCK YA’LL! Or that other guy that steals tweets unapologetically and then tries to enter under a different name each time. But I CATCH HIM and block him. *takes deep breath*

Q: Do the tweets have to be new

A: Yes, they have to be tweeted after the theme.

First theme Drops 10/12/20

Obscure For A Penny Zero the 13th

by James

This is the 13th OFAPZ and boy howdy has it been one hell of a slobber knocker. Lots of high quality tweets from Legends, vets, and new comers. Now that the dust has settled we are left with two tweeters. Before they join the royal council of kings and queens they must now fight each other in a 3 round death match. The new king needs to win 2 of the 3 matches. We wish them bot A LOT of luck.

Theme 1: Write a tweet about a band or singer song writer.

Stipulations: No Nickelback, Smash Mouth, Limp Bizkit, Kanye West, or the local death metal band Rise

Theme 2: Freestyle (Anything you want)

Theme 3: A Classic Tweet (Anything not submitted in any OFAPZ)

Due: 7/24/20 11:34am pst
