Now it is time for SMACKDOWN #5! Same rules and setup.
THE RULES
Two coins per person maximum entry!
Any Severan, male or female, is allowed.
I chose this topic for smackdown because we have some Severan specialist on this forum. I want to see what they consider their best. I also want to see if anyone else can beat them.
Deadline for entries will be this coming Thursday at 10PM EST -4:00 GMT, July 26, 2012. Voting will begin shortly after the entry deadline and will last 24 hours.
POINT DESCRIPTION
GOLD = 3 points
SILVER = 2 points
BRONZE = 1 point
One additional change to the rules: The winner will become the monitor for the next smackdown and will choose the topic. We'll do this until steve6x comes back from vacation and he can resume the mantle of monitor if he chooses.
OK boys and girls. Start your engines and begin posting those Severans you've been hiding in the closet. Good luck to one and all.

This is a good start, but let's everyone get in on this. Let's try to beat the number of entries from prior Smackdown's. C'mon Doug and Martin. I know you're out there. Where's your entry Ancientnoob? ValiantKnight? ancientcoinguy? MartiVltori? I can't name everyone. Lets enter those beauty queens.

Of course it's up to JW since he is the moderator. But I would appreciate some attribution information. Also, up to you guys too.

I agree. Let's put the attribution so I (we) don't have to look it up.

This is a great start. Eight coins so far and we haven't heard from Doug or Martin yet. I am still deciding on my entries, but I am going to bed now and will post my entries tomorrow. Hey SAP. You can enter here too. You too Sel. We could use some entries from down under, eh. You know what they say about Waga-Waga, or something like that. Bobbyhelmet, where's out British entries? Man I love running this.  |
