Holiday Spoof-a-Long Forum Contest Winners Announced
January 8, 2008
We challenged our forum community to rewrite the lyrics to popular holiday songs, making them about their favorite MMOGs. A number of creative folks rose to the challenge! The Ten Ton Hammer staff nominated their favorite entry from each forum, and a random drawing determined our three winners. Our first place winner receives a 6 month subscription to her favorite game, while our two runners up receive 3 months. Without further ado, here are the winners:
I heard the bells in Queynos ring
Their old familiar tones did sing.
but where's the clock of Ak'Anon,
that greeted us is now a tree .
I thought how as Frostfell had come
The belfries of all E Q dom
Had roll'd along with ding and dong
was now a tree, with branches long
.
And in despair, I bow'd my head:
"There is no clock in E Q dom"
"For Frostfell's here and is a tree
of pealing bells, no clock i see."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
"Frostfell is here, we cannot weep
The clock is gone, Frostfell prevails,
With food and gifts, good swill to drink ."
Dashing through the zone
With a four-group open raid,
Through the mobs we mow,
Casting all the way;
Health on named mobs drop,
making for short fights,
What fun it is to slash and burn
Through Mistmoore tonight.
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to fight
In a four-group open raid.
A mob or two ago,
I tried to roll the dice,
For the sword that dropped
I had to make it mine;
The dice were not too kind;
Misfortune seemed my lot;
I got outrolled by a gnome,
And he was just a bot.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to fight
In a four-group open raid.
A raid or two ago,
the story I must tell
I went out to make a pull
And in a trap I fell;
A guildie mocking me
In a four-group open raid,
He laughed out loud as
I tried to run,
But quickly wiped the raid.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to die
In a four-group open raid.
Now the raid is done
Through noones fault but mine,
I receive in chat
Ridicule and whines;
I do my very best to apologize,
But as you might have guessed
They left me behind.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to fight and die
In a four-group open raid.
