As a female, what happens in this video is a regular occurance. Well, besides the end part. However, Blizzard must have felt it special enough to award it their top prizes for the machinima contest at the recent Worldwide Invitational. Olibith machinimated a short story, The Bountiful Chest, written by Vilaeryn and narrated by Shockdingo. Since it's not very long, I'll sum it up with the moral of the story being to look us in the eyes. You're not fooling anyone!

Maybe people should read more Shakespeare so their attempts at replicating his language would be less grating. :'P That said, I've seen worse attempts.
Other that than, good production values.

If you think this was awesome, you should see tomorrow's entry for the guy that lost to Olibith. Un.be.liev.a.ble. I seriously have no idea why the poor kid didn't win and now he's totally discouraged about it.

I have read Shakespeare, thank you. Iambic pentameter might have been a bit much for a short machinima, as interesting as that might be.
All sarcasm aside...
My original script contained much more "Olde English" wordage in a rhyming couplet style, but at Oli's request, we reworked the script for an international audience, the likes of which were the majority at WWI. He and a few of his friends, all of whom do not speak English as a native language, found the original version a little too hard to follow and the meaning was lost. It was Oli's, as well as my goal, to make sure all could understand and enjoy it.
