Mr. Thief Universe:

3rd Place: Congratulations to BarnabeJonez.6023 who managed to catch the eye of one Queen Jennah, much to the chagrin of Logan Thackeray who was; however, too busy running away to do anything about it. Welcome to SWAG.

2nd Place: Contragulations to kaikalii.4198. May you sir, always paint with all the colors of the wind. Stay dapper, stay dandy!

1st Place: And finally, our winner, Mr. Rapturos.6937 who lives by that old addage, “Mustaches win championships!” Well played, sir. Well played. Everywhere such as maps.

Thanks again to everyone who participated! Winners should have a guild invite and their rewards before the night is finished…

I always admit when I’m wrong, which has only happened twice. One time was on June 18th, 1324, when I forgot to look in the mirror first thing in the morning to see how handsome I was. The other time was when I stated that Lion’s Arch would be repaired by late summer because of the amount of money we donated in the Queen’s Labyrinth.

With the flash of my smile and a wink of an eye I can make even the most honorable of persons do my bidding. I am the serpent, as my name states, in the garden of your mind whispering all sorts of temptations. And as my sharp tongue convinces you to do the unimaginable, my hands are pilfering your most prized possession right out from under your nose.

My Mesmer says, “Hey! Why wasn’t I invited to the party?!”

Well, as I am a lady instead of a gentleman, I would already be disqualified. -takes a sip of tea- However, I would like to submit an entree regardless, to keep in the spirit of the contest.

It’s refreshing to see class and self-respect to still be prominent among thieves. I’ve long since denounced the tacky accoutrements that’s become…popular – I shan’t speak of them. Efficiency, practicality, and quality – thus should be kept in mind when outfitting oneself. Even one’s actions will speak volumes. Congratulate a well fought match, and do not succumb to anger or resentment. Be polite, courteous, and well-respected. A steady mind keeps a steady blade. And above all, never let pride cloud one’s vision – that is where many have fallen.

I personally believe that Tyrians are unable to locate Tyria on the World Map because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in Cantha and, uh, the Elona, everywhere like such as, and, I believe that they should, our education over here in Tyria should help the Tyria, uh, or, uh, should help Cantha and should help the Elona and the Fire Island countries, so we will be able to build up our future.

This glorious morning
Stands my statue resplendent
Victory is mine

Some good entries so far! Keep them coming…

Dat beard… Dat hair…

Maybe we can have a Mr. Tyria contest sometime in the future if people like this kind of thing…

I wonder what happened to this…

Gaze at the rainbow beauty. You are surprised by such flamboyance, but he does not even seem to notice. He knows that he is fancy as kitten, his gear colors perfectly matching those of a rainbow, with shades to block the harsh sun illuminating him. In battle, he uses only the fanciest of pistols, the Quip, its purple glow only enhancing his dapper demeanor.

Hey! Thanks for asking. It’s still active, submission deadline is still tonight at 10pm EST, so folks still have a chance at that hat and a nice rare purple dye as well as the title of Mr. Thief Multiverse, get your submission and paragraph in!

I just haven’t been bumping this post because it has enough views, I figured if people wanted to submit they’ve seen it and decided not to!

Thanks though, to everyone of the contestants so far… and remember, a dapper man makes the clothes!

Here is my entry…I mean look at him….He’s dead. And an holy angel….how can you get anymore gentleman like?

I am no stranger to honors, and would most graciously accept this gentleman’s title. If it pleases you, you may consider this an application. In fact, I am writing this very moment in the shadow of The Gentleman’s Diploma of the highest order, awarded to me by her Royal Majesty the Queen herself, for services it would not be gently of me to disclose, lest I draw unsolicited attention to myself. I would not I suffer you the injustice of stealing the spotlight in such a tactless manner; a gentleman’s theft must be elegant and subtle, effective and efficient, calculated and precise, and preferably discussed over tea. Similarly, the acquired item must be handled in a gently fashion. It should not be squandered, but used with consideration and respect – made the most of, in honour of its former owner. If there is no honour among thieves, then we are stealing from ourselves that which is most precious. Remember my comrades: however many a swing, strike or parry a situation demands, the pen remains forever mightier than the sword.

Warm, respectful regards,
Impact.

P.S. Regarding the aforementioned gentleman’s theft: I stole the statue of BarnabeJonez.6023; undetected of course, during a high-security event. Nothing personal old bean, I just happened to be passing through.

I consider myself a gentleman thief since I pursue this profession for the thrill of the crime instead of my own livelihood. I never mug women and children. I’m even respectful to women who don’t return my affection or are very homely in appearance. I don’t consider myself a fighting man, but a sword must be worn on all occasions since its an outwardly sign that I’m a true gentleman. My weapon of choice is my comb. It’s important to be well groomed at all times. You never know when your hair will become windswept or lose its volume. I also seldom fart or belch in public. I’m also fashionably late with my Mr. Thief Multiverse Contest entry.

Submissions are now closed, thanks everyone for entering. Really appreciate the submissions, some good ones and some great paragraphs!

Must be male? Let me get my femikitten friends on here!

kittening pixels you sexist kitten!
