Obscure For A Penny Zero XII

by James

http://thehistoryhacker.com/demo HAPPY OFAPZ Ladies and Gents. The final contest brought to you by The Obscure Gentlemen in association with Plain Zero and 12 For a Penny (RIP).

Nikki What is this contest? It’s a non bias twitter contest where 128 tweeters are pitted against each other in a tournament fashion.  Your tweets are submitted anonymously, with text only so the judges can’t see your AVI or your handles. You are each placed in a bracket seeded by overall team follower count. Much like any tournament in where you fight to the death. We will NOT have you wrap your fists in glue then in glass like the hit film Kickboxer 2.

Most importantly, we are doing this to support an important cause. The Australian fires are out of control and the loss of life is tremendous. So far we’ve raised over 2K and are thankful for any money sent their way.

FAQS

Q: Can I tweet as much as I want?

A: Yes, we want you to be 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.

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? 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. 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. MAYBE, just maybe you don’t like the MISFITS…BANNED.

Obscure For a Penny Zero T3: Dia De Los Samhain Final 4

by James

What’s the scariest thing about Halloween? The OFAPZ Picture Round. They say Lovecraft wrote a tale about the picture round, but burned it because it was too terrifying. And you are its next victims. Muuuwaahahahahaha (scary laughing).
Select any one (or several) of the pictures below and compose a tweet including the picture. You can write on them, about them, or alter them in any way you want. You can reenact them. You can print them onto your bedsheets and spend the night in them. You can eat them. EAT THE PICTURES. Then tweet them.
Winners move on to the finals. Good luck. Eeeeeeh hehehehehe (scary laugh but in a mocking manner).


Theme: Picture Tweets
