chuckwoww Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 "All entries will remain property of Mom Triâ??s Boathouse." Hell with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted October 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Prolly be used by them for advertisement, or on their website, or something like that. I don't have a problem with it. Especially if you win the prizes which would cost more than most 1000/1500 word pieces would make a writer anyways. 2 or 3 night stay in a plush place, dinner for two in their expensive restaurant, and a bottle of wine and other perks. Plus bragging rights like OH had with his winning the NP.com contest, the prick. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwoww Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Sounds kind of anal to me. Why not say the copyright stays with the author which is as it should be? But it probably won't put too many people off. It's a clever idea anyway....these competitions always get people talking (and reading and writing) and that's good.

Julian2 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I'm more worried about the hotel Chuck, is it guest friendly or would the winners have to take their wives? Do these people know Cent is promoting their competition on a board that counts some of the more notorious 'mongers in Thailand amongst their members? What if Buddha or CT won? Fuck, what if OH won? They'd never forgive you Cent. Hey Cent, I wrote the first paragraph and got all of the key words into the first two sentences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Julian, Well, I'd take the wife for sure! (Major points with wifey for certain.) And mine will have all the relevent words in the first sentence. Just figuring out the theme now, as I think that will be key to winning the comp. The mongers can always use a ST room elsewhere if they win. Helps keep the repeat BG whiners away from home base actually; a smarter move for the experienced monger really. :smirk: Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 The first sentence was all about what a marvellous hotel it is , and like Chuck, the second was about what a great writer Jake is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Question: Would like to hear from anyone who has stayed at Mom Tri's Boathouse. Anyone out there been? Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I can just see 90% of entires starting with the lines of "I was sitting at the excellent Mom Triâ??s Boathouse, reading a fantastic book called "Killing Platoâ? and sipping champaigne when . . . .

Central Scrutinizer Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Not mine! BTW, did see that some writer for Rolling Stone has said he is entering the contest. Would be nice if they published all the entries somewhere though. Not just the 3 winners. Would be fun to see and read the entries. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
