The Gauntlet of Yin - Vice Clamming

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

As some of you have doubtlessly noticed, awareness of Yin has grown exponentially in recent months. While on the whole its a very good thing for Yin to be known, it is important to note that the Church, though outspoken, is a selective group. It is because of this that a challenge was born to select those who are worthy and cast aside those who are not... the gauntlet of Yin is that challenge.

What is the gauntlet you may ask? The gauntlet is a competition between all who choose to enter it. All believers of Yin, from the lowliest silk farmer to the highest ridill owner, may participate. Even those who are currently in the church are encouraged to participate to keep things from being too easy on the unproven ones.

Wait, you want to know what it IS? Oh. It is a contest of MS paint of course. The competitors shall fire up MS paint and, using words chosen randomly (and I mean randomly), as inspiration they will compose an image. The image must be created with the words in mind or it shall be disqualified.

After you create the image do NOT show it to anybody. You must send it directly to me or Rocl L. Roclius IV (forum name Rocl) through PMs. Use http://www.imageshack.us/ for hosting. I will keep track of whose image is whose. After a period of 3 days I will post the images I have recieved, without the name of their creators, in a poll. The anonymous poll will be voted upon by your fellow forumers and a winner shall be chosen. The voting will be based on the highest amount of lulz or most awesomeness contained in the image. Multiple winners may be accepted if there are enough good images. After winners are decided I will announce who they are.

Basically, all that fancy writing ends up meaning this:
1. You read the words randomly chosen
2. You create an image in MS paint (no photoshop) based on the words. One image per person is allowed.
3. You send me or Rocl L. Roclius IV the image. Do not post it in the thread or show it to anybody else.
4. I post a poll of the images.
5. People vote in the poll for the best images.
6. A winner is decided

And what, pray tell, would you win from such a competition? An immediate acceptance into the church of yin or, if you are already in, a promotion (up to knight). Additionally, you will be able to get a custom title, chosen within reason, given by the admins.

I seem to be forgetting something else here, damn... Hmm...

OH, RIGHT, THE WORDS.

I didn't lack faith in Yin, just faith in Maxx.

It's 730am so I shall meditate in my sleep and hope Yin chooses to inspire me.

It could have been intended for future supplicants. I didn't want to be an attention whore sending it to all three of you going "LOOK HOW AWESOME MINE IS OH MIGHTY YIN"

And still I earned fire and brimstone

when a pope yells at a loyal Yinninite, it is out of love, not hate.

There is no shame in being an attention whore sometimes, young one.

You may use an existing image as a base but all editing must be done in paint and you have to draw at least some stuffs.
