*Numbers4Glory enters the square a big smile on his face. He ushers his bodyguards away and takes up a position on his soap box*
A speech that inspires, a speech that motivates a speech that speaks to the heart of every man and women in the four cities. What I am proposing here is a challenge, I am calling forth all aspiring orators to stand and deliver a speech that can renew my faith in our society, a speech that can inspire a revolution!

2) Closing Date February 20th 18:00
3) Topic - It needs to be relevant to our community - It should be regarding a particular incident, person, event (actual/role-played) - It should be a speech that sends a message

*Numbers looks around for a moment a bit underwhelmed by the turnout*
Could those of you who are interested in participating please come and speak to me directly so I can gauge the level of interest. |

*N4G enters the streets clearly disappointed*
It seems that our community is a bit shy. Unfortunately I can't condone a competition that would have 1 entrant, as lovely as she may be.
I am going to be cancelling the competition and returning the sponsorships back to the CL's that pledged now. |

I am the king of oral..presentations. But can I ask a question? Do you want a full word for word transcript of what is said or will notes of the main points suffice? |

Hmm, it's a smart idea for a competition. Perhaps the prize is too small for people to speak their opinions...surprising since I know so many people who can hardly keep their mouths shut when it comes to this thing of ours. Suddenly an actual soap box is available and everyone gets shy...cute. I'll donate 50 credits after I get out of work if you keep the competition going. If still no one participates I'll donate 50 more credits in a week. I don't want to be a judge though. |

Hmm. What a shame to see this come to an end. If I had a way to record myself speaking I would have loved to take on the other participant! Oh well, possibly we come back to this idea in a month or so and see how we all feel about it then. | |
