Question:
What should the "new" name of the King's Quest series be?
Option 1: KQ1: King Me!
votes: 1
Option 8: KQIX: Every Cesar Has a Silver Neil
votes: 6
Wouldn't you know that someone has bought out Vivendi and are re-releasing the King's Quest games. However, due to some made-up copyright laws, they are having to rename each of the games.
They are asking for the dedicated King's Quest fans to help come up with the perfect name! So, your job is to come up with a new name for one or two (or all) of the previous games.
You have three weeks to come up with some great ideas and then one week to vote!
(DISCLAIMER: No, Vivendi has not been bought out and the games are not being renamed. This contest is for the sole purpose of having fun.)

Monarch's Voyage I: Raiser of a Lost Crown
Aaaaaa! Idea stealer!! I've been trying to think of all the names for the games in the series, but I already had an idea for the series as a whole, and it was going to be something like "Monarch Missions" I-VIii. XD
Whew good thing I posted then. If you had taken that my idea would be gone.
And *ahem* Cat....It's Monarch's VOYAGE, not Quest :P
EDIT: Thank you, Cat :) And here's my title list in it's entirety:
Monarch's Voyage I: Raiser of a Lost Crown
Monarch's Voyage II: Me, Myself, and Valanice
Monarch's Voyage III: A New Dope
Monarch's Voyage IV: In Which Death Almost Becomes Him
Monarch's Voyage V: A Sorcerer Strikes Back
Monarch's Voyage VI: Alexander of Daventry: Prince Who Thieves

Wow, time to vote! You know the rules...one week to vote! And one vote per person, unless Neil decides to change it :P
Nah one vote per person sounds good. :)
And what the... "KQIX: Every Cesar Has a Silver Neil"?? Hahahha! XD
Where are all the voters? ???
....Say's winning. :'(
I was torn between a lot of these! I liked all of them, but I had to go with Say's, because it mentions Cesar! But they are ALL good entries! Keep the creative juices flowing with all of these contests! And make a contest I have a chance at! XD
No offense, but the goofy title that isn't actually based on renaming the games winning seems rather silly to me.
And I'm not being a poor sport cause I'm losing, so don't say I am :P
Well, Say won so congrats to her :)
Hmm... Well, there isn't really any TSL prize we can give to Say that she hasn't already seen. :P So, instead, let's open it up to the community and anyone that would like to give her their own personal prize is free to post it in this thread as an attachment. :)
Without wanting to sound in poor taste either, if Say never comes back to the forum, as I understand her intention to be, posting things for her here will have little purpose......
Well, if she never wants to come back, that's her choice. However, there are people in this community that still care about her, and this is their opportunity to show their appreciation, should they choose to do so. :)
As a further suggestion, the content of the present posts could be forwarded to Say via email by a moderator or someone as a sort of going away gift package/prize for winning this competition.
Sounds good, Delling. :)
I'll start by showing the prize from the previous contest. It's concept artwork of Edgar. Many of these were created by Say while she was in the Art Department. XD
I should never enter any contest again.
I won't get any votes anyway, so I better stay out of it.
*writes it down on a piece of paper*
If my wisdom has been removed I'll still know it. :P
Much as I would like to contribute, I don't think I have anything suitable, or that she would be much interested in.
Edgar_006.jpg kinda looks like a chick... :P
I especially like the first drawing. Nice :)
