Alright, I’ve been in the mood for one of the ’old-fashioned’ contests we used to have on the Decipher boards, remember? The contests where no PMs were need (I’m not complaining, just reminiscing) and deadlines were much shorter (ditto). Fast-paced, brutal workouts, where you didn’t have to enter every contest. Well, I’m bringing back one of the old concepts of those contests as well; chapter-by-chapter cards. Here is how it will work:
Every time I post a contest, it’ll be for a different chapter in the series. People post the three cards I require in this actual post and in the next contest, people vote on them. Simple, yes? Eh, not really. There’s no real, point. Well, other than having fun, each card you have that win, will earn you a  . Also, after every book (there are two books in Fellowship of the Ring, TT, RotK), a book champion will be crowned. After we’re done with the entirety of Fellowship of the Ring, the two champions from Fellowship of the Ring will face off. The winners will face the eventual winners from TT and RotK. Now, here comes the good part.
Those three champions will have a major match-up, that will be very hardcore. The final champion left standing will recieve TEN from myself. A steep price, but I think a prize that will be earned.
Reminder: It is not necessary to enter every time.
