you can only enter once, but you can increase your entry's worth, see below
deadline: 30 december 23:59 GMT. i'll probably draw the winner during the morning of 31 december but maybe only in 2016
the winner gets 120 tokens. additional prizes might be added later if many people enter.
a 'normal' entry is worth 1
a haiku about sandbox makes your entry worth 3
a writing about sandbox that follows the form of a petrarchan sonnet makes your entry worth 10
your writings must be in english and they must make sense to be considered valid
(yes, these numbers were decided completely arbitrarily)
plagiarism is not allowed obviously
you might occasionally want to check this topic for updates on more prizes, rule clarifications, etc.
if you put in some effort into your writing but it doesn't match any of the requirements, your entry's worth might be increased from 1, but it will not be worth as much as proper entries (1.5 for haikus that are slightly wrong, 3-5 for slightly wrong sonnets. if they aren't close to anything correct, they are worth 1. i'm more lenient about sonnets btw.)
if you want to "upgrade" your entry, feel free to (I'm not going to count the old entry. also preferably post on the same acc as your original entry)

Gratz dude and thanks to nepenthe for the competition, was fun
alright, i randomised the list, here are the first 6 people (which is probably unnecessary since there's only one prize):
this means that ninok wins.
you now have 48 hours to claim the prize or the next-placed person can get it. [everyone except the 1st would have 24 hours to claim it, but let's be honest it's pretty unlikely that it won't be claimed in 48 hours]
Main lobby is the source of every single scum With their competitions and ranked games And their abbreviations without any sense nor aims. Come to Sandbox! It ain't such a dull slum, Simply because we aren't as glum. Hurry! Give us your claims, Or quickly, we'll call you names And our lack of chill will make you call again for your mum.
Go back to main if you can't stop slowrolling, We won't hesitate to kick Because we are here for fun! Let's get this ball rolling, You better be quick, Don't hold in! We have only just begun!
new mod announcement: please do not ask to be lynched if you are virgin.

Sandbox is sandbox No matter what time it is people still play it

I tried my best, used the abbaabba cdccdc rhyme. Also notice how the octave introduces the theme and problem whereas the sestet solves the problem.
Noavis are hated by every man Because they never follow the rules And none of them is nowhere near as cool As people with avatars, for noavis are bland. But what does the typical person from sandbox, such as our leader frying pan, Do when in a game a noavi becomes a fool? Obviously we cannot follow the good ole 'fool win best win' rule Cause letting a noavi win is totally against the sandbox honor code and the Quran.
Fret not, for I have come up with a solution One that has totally no flaws Here's what we do: we go to lucid We blackmail him to let us have a revolution Which then gives rise to a law To let us kick noavis even while in-game to minimize their distribution And let us enjoy our games without their lethal contribution.
or
And let us enjoy our games without their lethal game pollution.
