FAQ:
Why is there no participation prize?
Recently participation prizes have become a distraction that has taken away from the quality of the events that we've been able to run. Due to this, we have decided to experiment with different event and prize reward formats to find one that meshes will with the Ragnarok Community. Not all participation prizes (or lack thereof) will be the same across every contest we hold.
Why do we have to explain our jokes? That ruins the fun of it.
It is basically for the sake of understanding. And if the humor behind the joke is understood, then it is qualified as a joke!
How do I make a spoiler tag?
Do upvotes contribute to winning in this contest?
No.
Are we allowed to submit more than one joke?
No.
Can we change our joke before the deadline?
Yes, you can edit the joke or the explanation or change it completely but you can only do this before the deadline.
Can we have memes as an entry?
Nope. We will keep it old-fashioned and tell jokes through words only!
Why is there a limit of 100 words?
Not all jokes follow the same format of Question and Answer like the shown example. You can do a short scenario joke with a punchline too. For example: "A Poring walks into a bar..." and so on! Remember jokes are meant to be short and sweet and direct!
