So, I posted this in another thread as an attempt to lighten the mood in a thread that was getting somewhat hostile, and am moving it to it's own thread. I am going to run a little mini contest that will end at some point the Monday before Gencon, the 27th. Reposting the relevant bits from a different thread:
UndeadMitch wrote: The contest is on! Who can come up with the best Golarion Koan! Prize* to the winner! Pirate Rob is strongly in the lead!
*Pending my disposition at the end of the contest, which ends when I arbitrarily decide to end it, definitely before Gencon. Prize may range from a internet high-five to a drink at Gencon (if the lucky winner is attending) or something else! It's a secret to everyone, including me. Contest** is limited to inhabitants of the continental United States only!***
**Contest may be too strong of a word.
***Just kidding! Everyone can be a winner here!
There will be two prizes. One for the koan I think is best, and one for the koan that is my favorite. Depending on certain variables, prizes will either go out at Gencon or shortly after I get back from Gencon.

How have I never known that's what it was called? Learn something new every day. Apparently you don't play enough gnome Ki-users Apparently not (probably because I don't own that book).
Huh. What a weird little feat. No limitations on what creatures it works on...
*scampers off to draft up a Gnome Ninja* It's totally ridiculous feat. Also see clarification here.
Maybe you'll get to meet my Gnomish Champion of Irori who has it. (I have been strongly considering retraining out of it).
My favorite Golarion Koan, Must Rovagug devour himself to succeed?
Also, I play it as though it were language dependent. I will be reposting relevant koans from another thread that shall not be named.

Do vampires ever need to use the toilet?
Actually, my RL best friend and I are pretty much of the same mind on this; we'd concluded, independently of one another, that vampires are essentially small organic nuclear reactors that metabolize the entirety of their concentrated high-protein diet, which would not only explain why they don't need the bathroom, but also where their superhuman strength and resilience come from - for the most part, it works to explain mortal PCs, too!
