Through the ages, we have had multiple versions of dan-ball's history. From serious timelines, to the History of Danbael, to the Old Testament of Listo. This contest is to retell the history of this website. Points are given for accuracy, hilarity, overall appeal, neatness in formatting, that sort of thing. You can retell it however you want, but it must be recognizable as the history of the forums. - Accuracy (40%) - Whoever competes in this contest will quite literally be writing history. Don't put in the wrong stuff or confuse chronological order...
- Creativity (20%) - Don't just retell the history of the forums like an encyclopedia...
- Appeal (20%) - When someone reads this, they shouldn't think of your tale as a text wall: they should think of it as epic literature, like the Giglemash or the Odyssey.
- Formatting (20%) - When someone reads it, it should look like it was made by someone who knows the English language, not as if it were a document lacking spaces, margins, proper punctuation when applicable, paragraph breaks, spelling, and grammar.
Prizes1st Place:1,500 Dan-Balls, 3 Karma, Winner Badge 2nd Place: 750 Dan-Balls, 2 Karma 3rd Place: 225 Dan-Balls, 1 Karma Deadline: November 29, 2009

I'll do mine... soon-ish. It'll star Qwertyuiop as Linkzcap and Temporarily9 as TheListo, but it'll be... different... sort of.

The problem is, most of these skip out on large tracts of important forum history. Then again, many have been forgotten.

Yeah, you're right. I think mine's probably gonna suck. I know the early history really good, but I was gone for a year so there's a huge gap.

Well, Ganon's story covers some of what happened in that gap. But Ganon's story has a gap where "Golden Age" is. There were actually several ages in that time, but I must admit, that was mostly members coming and going.

Hmm... Maybe making a contest out of this wasn't such a great idea. Maybe it should just be a collaborated effort.

Nah, we can all put our own twist to it.
How's your story going along?
