Gin Rummy Limerick Contest will end July 31th, 2007 - Hurry with your entries! GameColony judges will not be sticklers just for precise limerick measurement purity. Innovative & Fun Limericks will get greater number of points than limerics written with just dictionary-dictated precision. So....Go Ahead & Submit Your entries for Gin Rummy Limeric Contest! Prize Awaits The Winner! ---------------------------------------------- For the very 1st entry for Gin Rummy Limerick Contest we are reprinting jonwil's entry: <b>-----------</b> Posted by jonwil (VIP) 5 Jun 2007 10:35am If your cards have all gone "south" & your sportmanship is tested. Its best to not engage mouth, until your brain has rested. <b>-----------</b>

Cards are fickle - are they not? Just when you think you're ready to gin The good cards turn bad causing your opponent to grin Decisions decisions - but don't get caught, Someone might think you're stalling even though you're not!



Comparisom of Cribbage and gin limericks :(

----------- Cribbage limerick contest was great! But we hoped that gin crowd would win And it makes us quite sad To be faced instead With the single limerick in gin :) -------------------------- Remember, the contest will end July 31th, 2007 You still have time to submit your gin rummy limerick entries to win a prize!

Gin, Gin, the magical game, the more you play, the more you win. The more you win, the better you feel, So getting that gin is a really big deal.

Thanks everybody for contributing :) Since we had a smaller turn-out than in Cribbage, we decided to reward all the participants with 5 bonus tickets each. Thank you all...



WebMaster, don't penalize Crib players

True, the turnout may not have been as active as the Crib partners, but perhaps you might reconsider the award and offer the Crib participants something in return. After all, everyone entered into this contest on the same equal playing field with the same considerations and results. You should either reward everyone for participating or pick one winner, no matter how many participate. The incentive is to be witty and creative, no matter how matter how many particpants there are. Now the question is.......what do you do for the Crib participants who entered into this contest?



All contributors to Gin Limeric contest received the same award

As opposed to cribbage limerick contest, in gin contest we could not pick a clear winner. Instead, all contributors to Gin Limeric contest received the award that was equaly split between them.



I Applaud All Gin Players
