The classical slam is for people performing and reading a poem written before 1918. They are expected to upload a video of the performance to YouTube. Three judges will give marks out of ten and an average taken. Judging will begin on the 19th or when all entries are in, whichever is sooner.

Entrants:
Jubal
Nightangel
Andalus

Judges:
Confederate Jeb
SturmChurro
Doomchild
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

Return (poetry-based) fire!

Scum of the highest degree and don't let charitable citizens tell you otherwise.

another well well known classic, Andulas im looking to you for something really obscure. Not that there's anything wrong with Jubal and NA's choices.

I'm so very, very tempted to read something by Arany János. The rules didn't say the poem had to be in English, right? ;D
Du bist kein Schmetterling! Du bist nur eine kleine Raupe in Verkleidung!

In the end I decided to go for a true English classic:

Du bist kein Schmetterling! Du bist nur eine kleine Raupe in Verkleidung!

Nightangel the clear winner with 27 scored, an average of 9
Jubal and Andalus both score 23, an average of 7 2/3

I think we probably therefore have to ask for countback on SC's score, since he was the only judge not to show a preference.

SturmChurro, could you make a deciding vote between the bronze and silver?

Wow! Awesome, you managed to beat both Jubal and Andalus! Nice work!
Quote from: comrade_general on January 25, 2014, 01:22:10 AMMost effective elected official. Ever. (not counting Jubal)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

If I had to pick from the two I would vote for andalus's entry.
