Congratulations to the guilds that won.

Though I have to say, I am surprised at the first and second place winners. The first place winners went way over the 400 word limit, and the second place winners barely wrote a history at all, they simply put up a picture with a scenario.

I suppose the rules weren't that strict afterall.

Congratulations are appropriate to everyone who took part.
Well done!

If you can write 14 years of guild history within a four hundred letter story, go ahead ;)

[...] It doesn't give you right to break the rules and cheat.

i didn't saw any of the contest stories/movies/pics, but [...] if one of the contest rules was 400 words max, and someone wrote 401 or more, it should be disqualified.

Story about guild
Once upon a time, there was a little guy. With an iron weapon in his hands, he decided to face his destiny and started exploring the world.
'Rainbow sea,
Little thoughtful creatures sit
On the grassy coats of it
Little things with lovely eyes
See me walking with surprise.
Some have wings and swift are gone,
But they all look kindly on' he thought.

Little braveheart wanderer started discovering the lands of Tibia with a bunch of his innocent friends. It was a great time for them all. However, it turned out that the world was not so perfect as it seemed for the first. There happened something amazing, awful. One day, someone lifted their gun against little guy. The blood soaked and he collapsed with a flag in his hand. A flag white as snow.. he was dead..

The world was cruel and the sad story was repeating over and over again. Storm of various emotions among rage, disappointment fighting one against another and unrestrained will of continuing his adventure led our little protagonist to reborn but with new wave of energy, with a new character. He named himself Dan Lei the Furious. Along with his friends, they created a guild back in 2006. It was called Furious Boys. The members were always ready to stand up and sacrifice their lifes fighting side by side against unjustice, trying to protect each other from abuses, being on the bright side of power. Along time, they started to be respected, the guild was growing bigger and bigger.

Amongst some new fresh blood to the guild, the problems in real-life came, and some of the founders retired from the game. There came Meri Shat, a little girl by that time, saying she would stand a chance for the guild. She said she wouldn't let Furious Boys die, and that's it! The guild kept growing, having players from lots of countries: Brazil, Portugal, Poland, Netherlands, Egypt, Spain, USA..
Thanks to Meri, Furious Boys flame didn't drop off. The guild spirit is still alive: respect, help, loyalty, true friendship.

Furious Boys never lost its essence. Survived through plenty server wars until today. Through it all, the rise and fall, in the world that is broken and mean, the guild carries on with its own traditions and rules bringing some light to gloomy lands.
Few days ago, the 6th anniversary was celebrated with lots of games and lots of attactions for the whole community. Many players took part and there was a great, unforgotten party.
Nowadays, Furious Boys's heart is still beating and the guild was rewarded with trophy, which recognises it as the oldest guild in Pythera gameworld. Then, we considered that a part of our hearts will forever remain on this guild, and thus, our screenshot shows pretty much the way we love each other here and what we wish for the world to be.
We aren't a guild, we are family.

Anyway it was our first contest so please be more lenient for us :) We gained experience and we hope that our next contest will be better!

In name of Furious Boys I would like to thank you for organizing this event. It had very positive influence on guilds that were working together to succeed, and it was an awesome idea. I'd love to see more contests like that.
The only thing that could be improved for the future is setting constant rules that will not be edited in any way during the contest. The changes were a bit confusing for us and it seems like some people didn't read the replies and didn't know it was allowed 400-500 words for the history.
Anyway, it was great contest :D Also I would like to congratulate all the participants.
