Rise and Rhyme, Ursine!
It's an endurance competition! But we're not going to make things easy for you would-be Veto winners! That would be an ur-sine of the apocalypse!
When you are ready, submit this google form. You'll get a list of topics which you'll have to write about. You may choose to tackle the topics in any order you choose. But that's not all -- that would be berry boring. A grizzly fate.
Every two minutes, you must post a rhyming couplet about the current topic. You may not use the same word twice on any one topic. Each topic requires one additional couplet -- so for your first topic, you will post one couplet. Two minutes later, you would post the first of two couplets about a second topic. Two minutes after that, you would post another couplet about topic #2. Then, two minutes after that, you would move to the first of three couplets about topic 3, and so on.
You may post at any time in a two-minute block after your previous post. So if you made your first post at 12:00:30, the next one could be posted at 12:01 or 12:02 so long as it was up at 12:02:30 at the absolute latest. However, your next two-minute block starts when you post, so it would be to your advantage to cut it as close as you can without making a mistake.
Couplet rules:
Must be presented on exactly two lines
Must rhyme the last word (slant rhymes are fine -- as long as it looks like you tried) of each line
Must have at least six syllables per line (words with an unclear number of syllables will be ruled in your favor)
Must include at least one bear-related word (again, as long as it looks like you tried; feel free to generate a list of bear-related words before you start!); puns are encouraged but not required
Must form complete thoughts which at least vaguely make sense
Must be on topic
Be sure to follow all the rules carefully.
We hope that isn't too polar-izing! You can look up information about the topics if you want, but of course, no plagiarizing your poetry. We'd appreciate it if you could identify which topics you chose after you finish.
In the event that you somehow manage to finish the topic list, you can make up your own topics.
Whoever lasts for the longest amount of time before making a mistake or missing a post wins the Power of Veto.
