EDIT 14/9/2015: After discussion with the lovely folks over at /r/Chromalore today, it has been decided that lore posted in the Olympics is not canon, so if you are wanting your lore to become canon, you must post it over there. With that said, disclaimers are not needed for lore posted in here!

MS PAINT BATTLE [VI]

Now with real live painting action!

This year is a bit different. Instead of drawing one picture to fit with a theme, you'll be trying to destroy what other people have drawn. This means I'll give you a starting item and one person with draw something destroying that, then you will have to respond with a drawing of something destroying that thing, and so on and so forth. I will take into account both amount of drawings done and the quality.

Happy drawing!

The rules are simple! Insult your opponents mama in such a way that he or she regrets ever being born!

Quality over quantity, wit and refuting goes a long way.

The reason given at the press conference is that they need to re-evaluate the security at both locations.
