I move to have RHP institute a Prose Police to complement the forum moderators and game moderators. I nominate bbarr and dj2becker as Chief and Deputy.

Originally posted by NyxieI would also like to see dj2becker removed as a candidate due to his obvious lack of piratical knowledge. He has a woman's hands! Arrgghh! I'll warrant those hands have never pulled a sail down in a typhoon as men were swept away right next to you by waves the size of houses! Nor caught a sharks tail and dragged the monster on board before beating it to death with yer wooden leg! Arrrggghh!

Originally posted by schakuhrOk... so what stopped you from coming forward and announcing that the poetry was plagiarised earlier? Why didn't you say anything when you won the competition? Did you seriously think that, on an international forum with thousands of readers, you would get away with it? I get the joke about the piracy and all, but really, you should have said something and at least given credit where credit was due. What you did was shameless.
At the time, I got the idea that there were almost no rules.. nothing that excluded the stealing of verses from other persons/sites.. So without thinking about this, I sent an e-mail to royalchicken... I started to regret it the next day, as he posted it directly in the forums, so I couldn't withdraw it anymore. My only chance was that noone would discover it. I'm such an idiot sometimes... 😞
