The Devilite's Guide to Office Warfare is a player-run forum event.
Hosted by the Obsidian Guild to herald the arrival of King Krogmo's Coliseum.
King Krogmo did not get to the top of the corporate Coliseum ladder by good looks alone!
Here's your chance to devise a deliciously evil office warfare tactic to annihilate the competition and help King Krogmo retain his corporeal Coliseum corporation from scheming underlings.
Details
In one short paragraph of 25 words or less, construct an original evil plan to annihilate, subjugate, eradicate, irradiate, prank or otherwise embarrass corporate cronies into submission. Dogrock of EoS notes the importance of short plans as long monologues give your cronies time to lob office furniture and half eaten donuts at you. Evil plan MUST be Spiral Knights themed. See TheBadger's example below.
Please keep your submission within the Spiral Knights TOS or your submission will get nuked by a GM or disqualified by the judges.
One submission only please as The Devilite's Guide to Office Warfare Wiki as well as our data entry devilites may explode.
Entries are only accepted through the official Spiral Knights forum link: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/18907
