It may have been my Arse Hat of Arsehattery, a wondrous item that makes the wearer begin strange arguments over the efficacy of one system of magic over another, while simultaneously turning off all listeners to all magic altogether. It also gives listeners a +10 bonus to attack and damage to the wearer and a tremendous sense of satisfaction once the wearer is defeated. The hat also burns with a tremendous flame that tends to start wars for reasons unexplained.
I thought it was okay...

I can see where you curiousity is coming from but this is too much like driving by the scene of a nasty car accident. Of course, you're drawn by human nature to want to know what happened in all the gory details but you have to remember that others are involved in the wreckage and should be allowed some amount of privacy.
That being said, if 'you' have the gall to treat a serious competition as if it was one big joke, 'you' have what is coming to 'you'.

Let's play Asmodeus's Advocate and remember never to ascribe to malice that which can be explained by carelessness. The joke item may have been written by someone who didn't realize it would be seen as a joke. Or it may be that English is not their primary language. Or it may be that they hit submit without meaning to do so. However, let it be a lesson that you ought not submit anything in jest if you expect to be a potential competitor.

Trust me, it was deliberately intended as a joke submission. It was based on an advertising campaign on television--even down to a slightly-altered version of the product's name as the wondrous item's name.

I hope not. Didn't I propose that in the joke submission thread?

Doh! Well, I tried. Defense rests.
