Writing Competition Started by: MattCollins on May 18, '23 19:27

MR COLLINS, I HAVE CONSULTED JOURNALS. 

And in doing have realised that hiring judges is no trivial expenditure.  I would therefore like to underwrite the judging costs and have taken the liberty of appointing a military office, and Jeremy as judges, paying them both $80m each.  Just confirm that this is OK with you and I'll approach the Commission. 

This is an independent competition with independent judges and independent prizes. Any outside interference is meaningless.

MrKuku was a high level gangater.  But he didn't have a weapon. He was such a mad dog killer that he wasn't trusted with one.  So instead, he ran Commission approved writing competitions and distributed tens of millions in prizes.

 

Slowly, the people grew to love him.  And he grew to love them, and not just for the money he gave to others. They loved him because NOBODY DOES in his contests.

It did not take long for his nickname "Angel on my Shoulder" to catch on after what happened...

 

This guy, we'll call him Angel for now had just lost everything he had worked so hard for. The markets had turned and he in turn was laid off from the capital firm to which he had devoted the last ten years. Angel had taken to propping up at a bar in Brooklyn day after day wondering what to do with his life. All aspects seemed to be worse and worse and in the end, he didn't want to do it anymore, Angel had always been excellent at the numbers but they just didn't seem to make sense anymore. 

 

After another night of drinking, Angel wobbled his way home only to find some kind of execution going down in an alleyway. "I've waited for this for a long time...YOU DO NOT GET TO BE CAPO BEFORE ME!" The scream took Angel off guard but the cocking of the gun was louder than any scream could be. Just keep walking...Angel thought you don't need to do this...

 

To this day we don't know if it was bravery, drunken courage or some combination of the three that made him do what he did next but Angel charged at him, before the guy knew what was going on he was on the ground and Angel stood back up not knowing what he had done. Oh no...he thought, I am so screwed... From behind Angel heard "You were never going to be a capo old "friend" Angel heard the cocking of a gun again. "You were barely even in this thing of ours..." Angel didn't hear anything after that just a ringing in his ears.

 

After a minute of shocking silence, Angel turned to the man he had saved who was smiling a toothy smile and holding out his hand. "Pleasure to meet you, son, what do they call you?" "A-Angel sir..." He said his voice shaking. "More like the Angel on my Shoulder!" The man said laughing, "Come on, let's get us a drink, I think we both need it." Angel nodded and a new life it appeared, was just starting.

Total scam.  I don't want the paltry $500k.  I'll donate it to a non-entrant.  Get in touch.

Oh, please, wonderful Sir MrKuku, please regal us with how this was a total scam? Is it a scam because you put zero effort in and didn’t “win”?

MattCollins and Colonel_Ives, I rebuke you both. I award you zero respect.

I'd duel both of you, if I had a weapon. 

Neither of you truly understanding. 

Send me money, and tips. 

Report Post Tip

"It seems you don't respect anyone that attempts to make competitions without your 'consent' which is obviously not needed. Also, i don't need respect from someone like you. I daresay if you respected me, i would consider it a personal insult. Therefore i'm obliged to say that your reputation precedes you and apparently nobody respects you either.

You're like the child in the playgroud that thinks you own all the toys, when the truth is that you can't stand to see people having fun without the ball you brought. Keep whining, it's funny."

The colonel walks away laughing.
