This is the first of two contests on the "This I believe..." entries we got for the giveaway.

All you have to do is guess who each of these are. The one who gets the most right, wins!! :rock: You can PM your answers to me but only once. Whatever you send will be counted. Once the weekend is over, I will start putting some clues in

Winning this contest is worth 5 entries into next years giveaway.

If you don't see your entry, please PM me. I am almost positive I got every one that we had time to read on camera.

1.
This I believe:

Blaine is a pain, and that is the truth.

All things serve the Beam. And that is the truth.

Eddie and Susannah will be together forever, and that is the truth.

Walter will fail, the Crimson King will fail, the Red will fail. And that is the truth.

The White will come again, and that is the truth.

Roland will find his Tower, and that is the truth.

The Horn of Eld is the key, and that is the truth.


Daghain


2.
I believe we are walking on the same path of the Beam. I can smell the roses, I
believe the Dark Tower is behind those mountains.


Letti


3.
This I believe, Roland must not drop Jake in order to escape the loop...and thatis the truth!

Darkthoughts


4.
This I believe, being good with a gun might not make you right, but it does give you
the last word.

John Blaze

5.
This I believe, Ka was but a myth of a degenerated culture, much like the demons indrums.

Jean


6.
This I believe to be true: Roland loves Susan with all his heart. No
one had ever made him feel the way he felt when he was with her. She
breathed new life into is trouble young heart. Had she lived, they
would have made a great pair. But, alas, her life was surrendered to
the Tower.
For all things serve the Beam.


Nerak


7.
I Believe that This Quest is apart of me.Not just any old silly quest, but a true quest that takes over your mindand body and puts you the reader right in the middle of The Dark Tower.I have yet to read anything else remotely close to this connection that Ihave and feel with Roland, Susannah, Jake, Eddie, and Oy.

This I Believe...


Maerlyn

"This I believe, the Dark Tower is a cosmological symbol, the partialembodiment of a god who is both random and purpose."

obscurejude


9.

This I believe ... I believe that each of us on this site are part of the sameKa-Tet. That we were all brought here for a reason.


turtlex


10.
This I believe,that Rolands quest is so much like our own:great highs and sadlows,but,in the end we will all reach our Dark Tower......


shnnrc01


11.
I believe the Dark Tower is one of the most important things to ever happen to me.It brought me entertainment, friends, new philosophies and peace.

Erin


12.
Part 1
This I believe:
There is a force in this world that makes matters happen. Matters that were
destined to happen.
I also believe that the tower has changed my life. I have grown as a person, met
people, seen different parts of the world, and been inspired to write great
musical parodies and other great works of art (such as my drawings) because of my
friends that I have made because of the tower. They have helped me with my grief,
my mania, and everything in between.


Ladyhitchhicker


12a.
Part 2

I am a better person because of the Dark Tower. I am a more rounded, more open,
more liberal and more faithful person because of the Dark Tower. I also like
myself more now than I did before because I have met others who appreciate me for
who I am, and who I can appreciate for who they are. When you have support it is
easy to believe in you.
In conclusion, the Tower has made me believe in me. And that is because Ka willed
it. It is because it was MEANT to be.


Ladyhitchhicker


13.
*This I believe that we carry a little bit each of Roland, Eddie, Susannah, Jake and Oy in our hearts, souls and minds since reading The Dark Tower series and that now we look at the world around us from a different point of view because of it.*


Blackrose22




14.
I believe that had I not read these books, my life would not be as rich as it is.
The lessons , the attitude, the questions it left in my heart are some of the
most important pieces of information one can have access to. In case that
were not enough I have also met a group of people, who have become so
important in my life. I never would have believed this was possible, but
when it comes to The Dark Tower I believe



alinda


15.
This I Believe...Roland will never be finished with his quest.andThis I also Believe...

Randall Flagg was a PUSSY in the series!
---That is all

Odetta


16.
This I believe, Suzannah was the bravest girl in Mejis!
This I believe, Eddie Dean was the reincarnation of Cuthbert Allgood!

This I believe, Jack Sawyer has unfinished business in end world!


CRivNA


17.
I believe that because of my love of The Dark Tower, I've met many great people andmade some very dear friends from all over the world.

18.
- This I believe, Blaine is a pain, and that's the truth.
- This I believe, the hands of the Tower know no mercy
- This I believe, Susan Delgado is hot.
- This I believe, the desert fled accross the gunslinger and the man in black followed
- This I believe, Eluria's sisters are thirsty


Ari_racing

19.
this i believe. . .

. . . that this time roland will not let jake fall.

. . . that the beam of the turtle holds strong.

. . . that there are indeed other worlds than these.

"This I believe to be the first of many anniversaries for Dark Tower dot Com. Aplace of Ka and of the tet that rose to the top just as the mighty phoenix risesfrom it's ashes."

Needfullkings



21.
I believe everyone needs an Oy in life because the value of the love,companionship, and loyalty of an animal is beyond measure. (Sorry, Jon, not thatkind of companionship.) I believe our animal companions reflect the best andworst parts of us and, in doing so, help us understand ourselves better. How wechoose to act on that understanding is another matter.

Woofer


22.
I believe that while the Dark Tower is a great tale of a noble quest, the most important truth of the series is that it is the journey, and those who share it with us, that matters most in life, no matter the quest.

ladysai


23.
I believe that the Revised Gunslinger preempts the original, that's why
Stephen King wrote it.

I believe that Frank Muller really is the voice of the Dark Tower series.

I believe that when Stephen King tells us to stop reading in DT VII, we
should heed that advice

Matt, if you ask me you should give us the names to make it a bit easier. What do you think?
And maybe we should put a spoiler tag into the title of the thread.

alinda

hmmmmm tricksy :orely:

*Spoilers* in the title, yes. Thanks Letti

The first part though, isn't the point to guess the name of the person? :fairy:

ladysai
05-25-2008, 09:32 AM
I think Letti may have meant give the names of the entrants...not necessarily the name of the writer of each entry.
Kinda like a multiple-choice test. ;)

Letti
05-25-2008, 09:33 AM
Thank you, Matt. :)
If someone can find out all of them I will be amazed. (For my part I have no idea which mine is...) :D

Matt
05-25-2008, 09:36 AM
I think Letti may have meant give the names of the entrants...not necessarily the name of the writer of each entry.

Hmmm...that's not a bad idea. Process of elimination thing. :fairy:

I'll put together that list for the first post here in a bit.

Thanks you guys.

Letti

*hugs Matt* We thank you.

Regardless of who wrote all these, and I'm horrible at matching people to things, these are all great and I appreciate all of them.

*jumps up and down* Ooh I know One! :lol:

Matt
05-25-2008, 01:43 PM
I stuck a list of all the people who participated in the first post. Make it a bit easier anyway.

There is also going to be another contest concerning these in a few days. :ninja:

how many entries do we get if we guess our own (and get it right?). :P

Matt
05-29-2008, 06:11 AM
:lol:

I actually got a guess from someone on this. Hopefully we'll get a few more.

And remember...there is going to be another contest concerning these when all the video's are posted. Easier I'd wager.

blackrose22
05-29-2008, 06:20 AM
When is the cut point for this Matt? Still haven't figured out which contribution is written by whom but going to give it ago over the weekend if it's not too late to do so.

Matt
05-29-2008, 06:25 AM
Good question. I don't guess I established a cut off. Lets say to 6/10. :rock:

blackrose22
05-29-2008, 06:49 AM
Good to know Matt. This is going to be one hard competition. I will be amazed if anyone gets them all right. Really looking forward to after the comp to see who wrote each one.

alinda
05-29-2008, 06:53 AM
me too, I only know one for sure :lol:

Matt
06-07-2008, 12:38 PM
This was not very easy no? :lol:

Darkthoughts
06-07-2008, 02:57 PM
Isn't the cut off 6/10?

John Blaze
06-07-2008, 03:08 PM
??? um, that's what it said.... :unsure:

Matt
06-07-2008, 04:24 PM
Crap! I got the 6 messed up. Sorry you guys.

Please disregard and if you would like to guess...seems now is the time. :lol:

Darkthoughts
06-08-2008, 05:25 AM
Cool! :D I have a list....I just keep changing it :lol:

Matt
06-10-2008, 11:10 AM

06-10-2008, 11:59 AM
In order to not spoil the series for myself, I am not going to enter. :(

I figure that the Dark Tower is more important than the giveaway entries.

Daghain
06-10-2008, 12:07 PM
You got that right! :)

Matt
06-11-2008, 06:20 AM
Closed today--I'll have time at work to match all the names with the entries I have received and come up with who was closest.

Look in the first post of this thread later to see everyone's names with their little bit.

Odetta
06-11-2008, 06:27 AM
I wonder if anyone figured out which one is mine! :evil:

Matt
06-11-2008, 11:24 AM
Names have been added to the first post of this thread.

I'm not sure I mentioned how much I appreciate those of you who submitted a "this I believe" to our drawing. Not only is it a community builder but they also added a HUGE amount to the video's of the drawings.

So thank you, great job everyone

I will figure out the winner and announce them soon.

Daghain
06-11-2008, 12:19 PM
You know, once you see the names it becomes perfectly obvious. :lol:

It's so funny how people's personalities came out in those.

LadyHitchhiker

Woofer

Wow. Just shows to go you - always go with your gut instinct. I see some of my first guesses were correct. They were not, however, what I sent for my entry. GO WITH YOUR GUT!

turtlex
06-11-2008, 03:59 PM
This might be one of my favorite threads of all time.
I love reading these entires, and I do - over and over again.

Odetta
06-11-2008, 06:42 PM
Odetta you made me laugh outloud...

:wub: excellent! I didn't believe anyone would think I wrote that!

Daghain
06-11-2008, 08:19 PM
That's totally you. :lol:

I was totally drunk when I did mine. :lol: I think I love Hemingway now. :lol: I write better wasted. Is that wrong? :lol:

Odetta
06-12-2008, 06:27 AM
It's too right to be wrong

John Blaze
06-12-2008, 02:23 PM
most writer's do.

Did anyone guess mine?

Woofer
06-12-2008, 04:21 PM
most writer's do.

Did anyone guess mine?

Yes, but I rethought it and changed it to THE WRONG ONE.

John Blaze
06-12-2008, 04:57 PM
who is The Wrong One? Never seen that username before.

I finally had a chance to sit down and figure out the winner for this contest.

There were only 3 entries and everyone who guessed did great. However...

Darkthoughts got 4 right including her own and that makes her the winner. She wins 5 entries into next years giveaway.

I also want to also award one entry each to the other two people who participated.

Ari_racing and Woofer.

Thanks everyone!!

Matt
06-17-2008, 07:39 AM
I agree, great contest.

I briefly considered another one where people matched up the This I believe quote to the video it appeared in. :lol:

Could still be done--they are just in the Clearing
