As mentioned in the 'Official Hero6 News' forum, we're having a 'Halloween Tombstone Message Contest', which will run from today until 2nd November. The winning entry or entries will be in the game.

And here are the rules:

1. Post your entries in this topic. There's no limit to how many you can submit.
2. Entries must be original.
3. No anti messages, or anything that can be deemed as offensive.
4. The team reserves the right to edit the winning entry or entries as they see fit.

Here are a couple of examples, both written by JohnWWells:

"RIP ART FLANAGAN

I WORE MY WATCHGLASS
BY MY SIDE
THE WATCHGLASS BROKE
AND SO I DIED"


"TRUST ME, IT WON'T EXPLODE"


Good luck, everyone!

[Edit] Winning entries can be found here.

I've been meaning to drop by for ages... Now this competition has finally spurred me on. Hello! <plans to register as well...>

Here lies the unfortunate Joss
Whose tomb is now covered with moss
His last tooth he swallowed
And death swiftly followed -
Though we told him and TOLD him to floss.


Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I found myself flattened
'Neath Beethoven's bust.


Sweet Fanny Adams smoked in bed
Farewell, oh dear cremated dead.


From Dr Crippen to his wife
Who died while fighting for her life.


Merton Lamerville, 1218-12?
We're sure he's dead;
He's been buried for long enough.


Hob Pickins, gravedigger,
Who died after being crushed by a headstone.
"O Life, Sweet Irony"

Here lies lovely Desiree.
She really really had to pee.
With no facilities in reach,
She held it in until she breached.

Here's our good friend, Bawi the Elf.
We told him to stop hitting himself.

R.I.P. Emerald LaGrossi
Add a few more spices, you'll never know the difference.

Anthony Falcon
Remember to wear a helmet when riding your necrotaur.

Read the obituary, I'm not writing it twice.

R.I.P. Somnambule

(if you don't get it, somnambulism is another word for sleepwalking)

Herre Lyeth Merlyn
He is onnly sleepyng

Rest in Peace, dear mother-in-law
I'm terribly sorry about the sharp saw.

That's my Last Duchess, buried right here
She gave smiles to all, so I killed off her cheer.

Poor Jotheph de Guithe liesth beneath
He found himthelf thtung by thikth beeth
One bee thtruck the blow
That did for poor Joe
(Please eckthkuthe me, I don't have my teeth.)

Thanks for the submissions! Keep them coming!

And it's always useful to leave behind your name. That way we know who submitted what. Wink

Alec the Apprentice a powerfull mage wanted to be
Locked himselph in his master chabers for days three
Summoning Demon Lord he succeded - that may be true
But when we got inside he was nothing but a sticky goo


Perrin was a powerfull man
With a big sword shining like a gem
He heard of the golems, went on a rightous Quest
Probbably did all his best
But his body found next day proves he failed the test


Roc known as the Thief
Was agile and stealthy beyond belief
Always of the surroundings aware
He couldn't read so he didn't look at the sign "Dogs - Beware"

"Hire some help? What for?... It's only one little werewolf."

"Excuse me, you're blocking my view of Lady Esmerelda's tombstone."

Set a match alight, and a man will be warm for a minute.
Set a man on fire and he\'ll be warm the rest of his life.

R.I.P. Reginald Quills
Taken from experience,
a pen is not mightier than a sword.

Tark Brald was a tough man.
He held down his Dragon's Breath.
Once.

Armor? We don't need no stinking armor!

Those with pride
Lose their hide.

It looked like a good idea at the time!

Many other lives he did save

He met with a wight
Now all that's left is his grave

No help did he call
Her blast smashed at him
Now he's a smear on the wall

Ok, so most are gaming-related, but what the hell?

"Well, this certainly sucks."

"OMG hax!"

"Friggin' Spawn Campers!"

"To Jack Thompson: Wish you were here"

"Can anyone tell me where the Load Game button is?"

"Should have played with Godmode on.  <_< "

"I didn't have time to finish my base defenses. :'("

"Lol, this isn't a grenade, it's the One Ring, n00b!"

"Note to self: No PvP next time."

"So THAT's what Self-destruct means!"

"Uh...oh...maggots."

I was inspired to write this while in the AGDI chat with The_Guy and Brainiac:

Brainiac was really quite mellow.
I never learned if he liked yellow.
For in the chat, our bot
Used a Death Ray so hot
That now, there's naught left of the fellow.

Brainiac has given this one an OK to be posted here.

ARROW'D!

Leeching don't do squat.  Trust me.

[Restore?][Restart?][Quit?]

Here lies King Argos, quite skilled with a blade
A'hunting he often went, out in the glade
He angered sprite Puck
Who made him a buck,
And by his own hounds he was flayed.

Eh...sorry about the South Park one. Forgot that it wasn't original.

"Dammit! Shoot, then ask questions. Shoot, THEN ask questions."

"Oh, I'm SO going to get the guy who did this!"
