The Best Defense [August Discussion]

[limetom]

This is the discussion thread for the August Contest. Enjoy!

Submission #1. Finished. :)
The Diplomat's Pouch.

I believe I am under the word limit, but if someone wants to check, feel free.

Admittedly it is a bit of a stretch for a "defense" but if you read its story you can see how it has been used as a defense of other people.

You are currently over the word limit, at 726 words.  You should revise your entry to reflect this.

649. Surprisingly easy to cut down to size.

I'm in with an old bloody piece of cloth at 639 words.

Bump.  We're about halfway through this contest.  Remember to enter.

Bump.

Damn you Nomadic, i really have to strain my creativity now if I'm to outdo your creation in any way... the MMM is perfectly awesome.
Limetom, did i get an "award" (i.e. badge) for the Magic Sword contest?

Yes; check the Rules and Entries thread.

Thanks :D

[limetom]

Just a couple of hours left, folks.

Mine was really short, but I came up with the idea on August 3rd and I didn't want to NOT publish it just because I couldn't think of how to fluff it out!

[Superfluous Crow]

uh, nice. I considered doing a time-oriented or clockwork item but couldn't come up with a decent design; yours is very nice though. Very clever and useful, although probably a good thing it is one use only :)

[Eladris]

Thanks! My first idea was a banner, but I twiddled my thumbs too long to use that one (damn you Acrimone!).

[Superfluous Crow]

I prefer clockwork over cloth, so I don't mind (no offense Acrimone :p)
