Haggis Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks to everyone who liked my line! Here's my entry for the second week: He stole my ventriloquism book and kept using it on everyone! (But he's actually an awesome guy.) Hey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeopando Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My second week entry: His left hand smells funny, and I do midwifery for skunks as a job! ... Yeah, wasn't really into it this week. But I had to do something, the top 5 is worse than last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeopando Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 This competition is officially starting to get on my nerves. I hope Telltale has some kind of veto power over these. It would be sad if they were forced to add something really stupid to a Monkey Island game. We should make a massive effort to vote each other or something and try to sneak some truly good lines in... The winning line at the moment is a joke that mentions George Bush. Please, not in my Monkey Island... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, not in my Monkey Island... It says this right underneath where you post your entry: "The more votes you get the better your chances of winning." So your chances of winning might increase the more votes you get, but it's not a guarantee. I don't think Telltale will put a crappy line in their game just because it got the highest amount of votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even stop to think about it but it's nice to see that Telltale at least seems to be playing it safe. A load off my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, yeah I would hope they would have a failsafe option to not have a quote about George Bush in a game about pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delucaa Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 i personally like "Yargh he gave me regular when I asked for decaf." As a former sbux barista i would love to hear this in a pirate voice. http://talesofmi.com/contest/entry/3729 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delucaa Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 they may or may not have I have decided to personally not consider EMI part of the series. As far as I'm concerned TMI is the MI4 or MI5 as if MI4 didn't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think the voting is kinda broken, the top five list stays the same, as if no one votes after the first few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 There's some truly awful entries, but I liked "He stole my identity. The worst part is he gave me his in return!" I also liked one that said something like "he put toothpaste in my grog... I'm minty fresh, but I'm also angry!" except I can't find it to vote for it anymore. Also, "He tatooed a parrot on my face while I was grogged !" won the first round? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or we've all already lost interest. I just want more rubber tree talk really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 "he put toothpaste in my grog... I'm minty fresh, but I'm also angry!" Now that's a funny one. People at telltale must be watching this competition through the cracks between their fingers right now. By the end of this competition I fully expect the whole website to be replaced by a single line of text: "WHAT HAVE WE DONE?!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fealiks Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think maybe the solution to this is that we come up with something simple but funny together, someone submits it, and we all vote for it each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a poor writer, but everything you guys come up with here on the forum is a lot better than a lot of what keeps getting voted on in my opinion.

Fealiks Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yeah, I agree. I'm crap at this too though, I think the best person so far has been Davius with "He sunk my battleship!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeopando Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Here we go again, the first quote of the week: I thought he was a classy wench when I saw him from the behind and he ruined my dreams by turning around! By the way, I noticed how last week there were at least two different people who submitted the quote: "He sunk my battleship!". There's nothing wrong if the original author want's to put his quote back into play but stealing quotes like that is just so very lame. Might be a coincidence too but I doubt it.

Davius Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I thought I would try again this week: "He sunk my battleship!" It ended up in fourth place in week one, but it looks like only the entries in first place are being kept as winners. There also doesn't seem to be any rules against submitting the same line again, so since quite a few people liked it I decided to re-submit it! Anyway, votes are very welcome! By the way, I noticed how last week there were at least two different people who submitted the quote: "He sunk my battleship!". There's nothing wrong if the original author want's to put his quote back into play but stealing quotes like that is just so very lame. Might be a coincidence too but I doubt it. Yeah, I noticed one of them when I looked at the contest page yesterday. I didn't realise there were two! Someone duplicated it in the first week too, but that was just a coincidence, as they posted on the Telltale forum shortly afterwards saying they'd realised I had already submitted it.
