Let's start this thing! Discussion in the other thread (http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3368), lols and rofls are acceptable in this thread (or beter, appreciated, since it might ease judging).
Rules:
*500 characters maximum in the original language
*please post your submission between "quote" and "/quote" to make clear what part of your post is the announcement and what part is spam
*must be posted in the corresponding week(s)
*obv. that doesn't count for non-supporter press releases
*while we're at it, non-supporters can post their made up "press releases" as well. For now at least, until someone is making a fuss about it
Submissions will be judged at:
*originality
*hattrick references or puns
*football references or puns
*real life (what's that) references or puns
*to a lesser extent, proper use of language: not everyone's english is as fluent as mistfit's ;)
On a sidenote, I like recurring jokes. I also like references to other people's press announcements or results. Just as a pointer ;)
Example:
This is my (translated) press announcement for this week:
quote:FC sign Schäfer
Shabba FC has strengthend it's selection with veteran Felix Schäfer. The FC has high hopes that his outstanding free kicks will bring the CDZ cup to the cathedral of Groningens club football once again.
Schäfer hopes to end his career as a player in Groningen, to take a role in the technical staff afterwards.
His role in the first team appears to be limited to pinchitting, but aside from the mental coaching of the reserves he could always assist in the fast food restaurant "The Fat Bite".
See? Easy as that. I hope my translation is a bit up to standard. If you're afraid the almighty jury misses a point, feel free to explain that.
In this case, I used "the FC" because the club from the region I play in (and where I don't live in any more, coincidentally), often refers to the local club as "the FC" (in dutch, then, obv.). The guy I bought is going to be my new coach next year. His stats are awful, but he has outstanding SP. This is nice, because it coincidentally coexides (?) with the transfer of SP specialist Van Hooijdonk to Feyenoord. So I can put a lousy pun about that in it. The reference to the fast food restaurant is a pointer to my previous press release. Someone has come up with a funny message referring to a fast food restaurant that is shown when you fire a player. My previous YP was really bad, so I fired him and got that message. My previous press announcement was about how happy the club was with the new fast food restaurant in the renovated stadium.
So, fire away!
