No contest participants?!

No contest participants?!

For some reason, nobody has participated in any one of the contests. For obvious reasons, no one has participated in the 2222 contest, but for a not-so-obvious reason no one has participated in the guess-GM's-favorite game-contest. Lots of people are just saying "I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHO WENDY IS!!!!!" or "LET ME BE PART OF WHY NOT!!!!!!!!!!"
Well, if you really want to know who Wendy is, do the contest! We won't tell you just because you ask.

On the subject of contests, "be an author for Why Not" won the poll. Unfortunately, we will probably have to do the poll again. All of the Why Not team members except for "Alec" have agreed that "be an author for Why Not" will not be the grand prize. Why? Because we think that authors should not be chosen by luck. Most of the Why Not team agrees that we should only choose authors based on a few requirements:

Requirements for Authorship at Why Not

1. The person must be a friend of a Why Not team member. Or at least an acquaintance of a Why Not team member.
2. You must write appropriate posts that are at least 2% understandable.
3. You can not write in text language or overuse capital letters and/or exclamation points.(limit 232 exclamation points or capital letters in or after a sentence)
4. Person cannot be too lazy( example: writes less than one post a month)

5. Show at least some insanity or any other quality Why Not could use.  
6. Knows enough math ( at very least should know how to find area of rectangle)


Optional Requirements 
( It is recommended that you fulfill as many of these as you can, since we will consider your application more seriously if you do.)
1. Play an instrument( Must be an instrument that is not too simple; too simple instruments include: percussion instruments even kindergartners can play, recorder, any unpitched instrument, etc.) The person must also be able to play at least one scale on the instrument.
Actually, that's the only optional requirement.

You may have noticed that I mentioned "application" twice. That's because there is a new contest. If you want to be a Why Not team member, write an example post and say what instrument you play, if you play one. Then you can email the application to Wendy. (Yes, Wendy has agreed to let me use her email.)


Email Wendy at wendysmithwendysmith@gmail.com

Update: Don't leave your applications in the comments anymore. All of the applications in the comments are a bit too short.

  2. How about this one-

    Alot of kids have a over obssesion with a certain trilogy, The Hunger Games, and I am one of them. Well, there are many copies of the Hunger Games and did you know that the Hunger Games was copied itsself. It was from the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The people there sacrificed 14 kids to fight the Minotaur to death. All 14 die very much like the Hunger Games itself. Where do authors come up with all this violence. They could be even trying to haunt kids in their dreams. I even had a dream like that where I had to kill people! And did you know the Divergent series was also similar to the HG? You had districts and it was set in the future. Don't you wonder why authors like the idea of killing children and all these weird things in them?

    P.S
    I can play the flute and know all 12 major scales.

    1. Lily, I told you not to do an example post about this since it's RF's idea. Try to use correct punctuation, too. Also, you'll get extra credit for naming those scales.

    3. You should work on capitalization, too. The Why Not? team prefers good grammar.

    4. Divergent did not have districts, Lily! They had factions that were all in one city! Anyway, the factions didn't support killing children.

    5. Well, Ava told me that. I don't know because I never read the book.

  3. Why do people take things literally? Well, it's because they like to because they think it's fun. Another reason is they want others to think they are funny. For example, Rachel always takes things literally. Her jokes are actually funny. Sometimes when people do it too much it gets annoying. (This never happens with you Rachel.) Anyways that's my explanation to your question Lily. Also, why do people feel safer under blankets? It's not like a robber or someone would go, "HEY! He/she are under a blanket. It's going to be so hard to rob/kill he/she! Rachel said that people feel safer under blankets because they remember being in their mom's stomach. Well, comment if you have any other responses.
    I can play the violine and know all the major scales.

  4. I just noticed and took a screen picture, and it turns out no one looked out for the 2222, since I'm 2336. Does that mean I win because I'm closest?!
