Write your own 10 word World of Warcraft story and win

huntyr | April 04, 2008 | News | PC 
Penny arcade is clearing out their swag this spring and want you to submit a 10 word (yes, exactly 10 words) story set in World of Warcraft.

check out the source for the details and good luck!
We rarely do contests, but this seemed like a good time, and we knew the right people. Between Blizzard and Upper Deck, they have unloaded a truly revolting amount of merchandise on us, and we'll be passing this largesse over to the readership in a frictionless manner: three piles of stuff so gigantic that you will quite literally never need to purchase another card. You will, of course, because you won't be able to help it. Even so, you won't need to: four boxes of boosters, tournament playmats, a Winterveil collector's box, deckboxes, sleeves, two binders, three raid decks, three starter decks, and one of these awesome dice chest things. Each of these sets also includes an X-51 Nether-Rocket, an ultra-rare card that can be redeemed in-game for a custom flying mount. These custom mounts can go for up to two thousand dollars online, so each one of them - on its own - would be sufficient to build a contest around. I don't know that I've ever seen a contest like this. It's completely ridiculous

    I entered, as well. I've never really felt the need to play this card game, but a couple thousand dollars never hurts, does it? I sold a murloc pet from BlizzCon to build most of this computer, so I've done that before.
