Mystery Cup: More competition for the Backstreet Boys.. by pikachu 1-15-02

All right guys, we've conquered three panel humor. Its time we made our mark on the music industry! Great idea! We'll be famous and Britney Spear will drop that pussy Justin and come beggin' to please me. Let's call yourselves HYWOB: Hotties You Want Our Bodies! After my success as unofficial artist at SC, I'm sure I'll do great as the band's choreographer. What do ya think, LadyJ? Think this'll work? Yeah right. I can see the headlines now: Success inevitable for The Village People of the new Millennium.

Mystery Cup round 3 - I want it twat way by megaton_b_boy2000 1-15-02

Brad, I don't get why we're still doing this. We should have quit after the council banned us from singing within a 10 mile radius of any civilisation. But just think, one hit album and my server problems will be over forever! Plus I figure it'll be a good way to meet chicks. I've been having my doubts about that. It's the band's name- Hunky Young Men Entertaining Nations. You do realise that spells "HYMEN". Your point being? People might think we're gay, and that we go about saying "Hi!" to men! Naah. It's spelt differently. We should be okay.

Red Bull doesn't give you brains! by Frosty 1-15-02

We join our heroes high in the sky above the White House.... Uncle Sam has shot down our plane, but he can't stop the revolution! Everybody grab a parachute! Ready to jump on my mark! Cletus, put down that damn booze! It ain't booze, it's Red Bull! It'll give me wings, so I don't need a parachute! Let's jump! Wheeeeeeee!!! Tonight on 20/20: We expose the hidden connection between the Secret Service and Madison Avenue. Not working, hunh. If I survive, I'm suing.

Give it to me! by big_evil_deciever 1-15-02

Oh yeah, give it to me big guy! Ride me all the way home, cowboy! Yes! Yes! I'm your cream filled cock slave! Shoot that big oil rig right in my gas tank! Faster! Harder!!! You've got the best erection money can buy! Tell me again how this gay cowboy video is supposed to help us take over the US government... Oh, umm... Well, it shows us how to rule by making use of special interests... yeah... that's it...

The votes seem to have tailed off, so I'm going to declare some winners. Entering the three-way Finals, three cheers for:

[list][*]Kajun_vs_Dougans_Per, winning 8 votes to 6.
[*]megaton_b_boy2000, winning 10 votes to 5.
[*]Frosty, winning 9 votes to 6.[/list]And I'd like to once again thank all those fine folks who sent in all those fine rules, too many to all be used in this event. I culled a few of the less feasible or (IMHO) less interesting ones, and we still had too many. So, we're going to do this final a wee bit differently ...

Below I have listed 12 rules: four text-oriented, four visual-oriented, and four content-oriented. Each of the three finalists has 96 hours to eliminate one rule from each of the three lists, by posting those rules (whichever ones they don't want to have to work with) here. Note that if someone wipes out a rule before you, it's gone; find something else to eliminate. Once four days have passed, or we're down to one rule in each category, I'll repost the final ruleset and call for comics (which can be posted directly to this thread). Once all three are posted, we'll pick a winner!

So now (drum roll), the final rule candidates:

Text rules[list][*]The title of your comic must have a Q in it.
[*]Exactly 15 words of dialogue must be used. No more, no fewer.
[*]Dialogue must be in the style of Shakespeare.
[*]One character in each frame must speak in first person, the other in third person.[/list]
Visual rules[list][*]Write a comic with only backgrounds and no characters.
[*]Only human characters may be used in the whole strip - no animals, robots, props, supernatural entities, or paperclips.
[*]Strips must contain the water background.
[*]The comic must be written as though the three panels are a single frame.[/list]
Content rules[list][*]There must be a reference to some bizarre law, either real or made up.
[*]An argument about some aspect of fashion must occur in the strip.
[*]The comic must involve a character having a flashback.
[*]Include Misremembered Platitude Trout in the plot.[/list]

Have fun!

I should have seen the writing on the wall when there was a rule about taking over a government. Damn you Frosty smooth, the Big_Evil_Deciever has pulled his last deception.

I numbered things for reference purposes.

When it's all finished, there should be a thread in General Discussions labelling everyone for who they really are.

Or the anarchy option: We get some hideously contradictory rules, the three contestants post whatever the please, and the judges sort it out as they wish.
