Yes, I'm gonna be snipping some of it compared to the original... Gonna try to make it short and sweet, and somewhat special...

quote:
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the maze
Not a creature was stirring, 'cept those in a daze;
The answers were posted on the forums with care,
In hopes that the Minotaur soon would be there;
The puzzlers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While solutions and riddles danced in their heads;
When here at the boards there arose such a clatter,
I clicked on their links to see just what was the matter.
When, what to my wandering eyes should appear,
The the Minotaur's post, one quite sincere.
A challenge was cast, for all to see,
Who could complete the next Potpourri.
The forums a frenzy, with postings galore,
To see who could answer the final one more.
"Now Palidin! Now Mith! Now worm and Quail!
On, Cyote! On Gomez, On HyToFry and L'lanmal!"
Soon the answers were found, there is still one better,
When they are are compiled into one e-mail letter.
And then, with a smile, he will pull from his sleeve,
A check, a donation, for unfortunite Chris Reeves.
Finally he will exclaim, with the utmost resolve,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good solve!"

I hope you guys like it.

And sorry to anyone I left out.

Thanks Courk, and Mith.

Originally, I just got the idea of the first four lines, and I tried to flesh it out from there. As I was doing it I ran into quite a few blocks, so I just wrote what I could, and tried to give it some relationship with the 100th puzzle (since I wasn't able to add any input to the answers.

)

I only just read this (I don't check VSN much) so I know this is late, but I just wanted to say:

1. Death Mage, that rocks.

2. I've never ever been in a song. ~Sniffle~.
