This months May'Qep is in collaboration with Ted's "Your-O-Vision"

More info to be found here: https://www.stonewallgaming.net/forums/threads/139450-stonewall-yourovision-2019

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


In Your-O-Vision, songs are usually about love and peace. Klingons sing songs of glory and war!

In Kling-O-Vision, every participant is required to sing (meaning post in in-game chat) about a glorious, honorful event or action. A deed worthy of a song, as we say on Qo'noS! If your song fits for an opera, some Klingon warriors may join your crew!

You are invited to do so in rhyme
but if you don't rhyme that'll also be fine.
Just tell us a tale with some true Klingon flavour
then maybe the great Kahless will grant you a favour!

On Sunday May 5th at 18:00 UTC we will meet at the Nagh'Red Starbase, In front of the Khaless mural.

All KDF sided characters are welcome, We will be around to throw invites if you need one, KDF Aligned Jem'Hadars and Romulan/Remans are welcome as always too. We welcome stories from far and wide!


Grab your Bloodwine, Romulan ales, and Ketracel + tonics, To join us in a  hearty competition, the only rule being don't go over 12 Paragraphs (e.g. the max for one message is one paragraph) in Chat.
Be an honourable warrior, don't interrupt another warriors story, and let me know when its finished so that I can save it for later!

I hope to see you there!

General Voleron and his fleet will be in attendance to sing great songs of his many heroic deeds!  Let me just warm up my tonsils with this little number that every Klingon warrior should know:

Hear! Sons of Kahless
Hear! Daughters too!
The blood of battle washes clean,
The Warrior brave and true!
We fight, we love, and then we kill,
Our lives burn short and bright!
Then we die with honor and join our
fathers in the Black Fleet where we
battle forever, battling on through the Eternal fight!

Our First place story! by Vo'leron@Akrilon

*clears throat*
Your great-great grandfather massacred those who stood their ground;Your great grandfather ate the hearts of his enemies on the battleground;And your grandfather made a name for your house at the Battle of Ferasan;And your father abandoned all of that to become a council man.

As for you my boy, you don't know what you're ever going to do;Not a kill to your name, not even a single Klingon caribou;
No skill to maintain the honor your ancestors bestowed upon you;No lure to attract a regular mate and no great bed for them to jump into.

Your great-great grandmother, she birthed fourteen brave warriors;Your great grandmother conceived another ten - it was glorious!


And your grandmother had three as soon as she came of age;But your mother only had you because that's all she could afford, living on a governor's wage.
As for you my son, you change partners all the time;
Not a single familiar companion to stand with you during war time;But there are mornings you wake up, feeling shameful and sad;For not maintaining the honorable house, gifted to you by great grand-dad.


Your great-great grandfather wielded only the finest blade;
Your great grandfather crafted his own mek'leth out of materials that wouldn't degrade;
And your grandfather's d'k tahg struck the hearts of many Nausicaan renegades;
But your father's bat'leth earned him zero accolades.

As for you young one, the only honor for which you sometimes yearn;
Will be found in the stack of papers on the desk of the bureaucratic position that you earn;
Filing grievances from conquered races and doing them all good turns;All while tending to the needs of the subservient worlds that our real warriors have upturned.

But your great-great grandparents, they knew how to celebrate;
Your great grandparents would feast on Kolar beast with the neighbouring state;Your grandparents would sing great opera and the neighbours they would captivate;Your parents would go to the best dance clubs on Qo'noS - that's where they went on their first blind date.

As for you my friend, it's the weekend and it's time to be up-beat;
Get out from behind your desk and cancel your booking at the local holosuite;
ckily for you, some things in Klingon life refuse to change;
So dust off your kut'luch and let's go hunting for some Grishnar at the local wildlife range!

Huzzah!!  Hope you liked it!

Second place goes to GXV3@GXV3

Hello Klingons, and hello kiki... im calling from new romulas...
can i just say what a wonderful show it has been tonight, and kiki your dress looks lovely
This song is a nursery rhyme i heard when i was a child from my uncle...
it goes something like this....
my bloodshakes bring all the boys to the yard
That way, Ill never be on guard
I tie them up nice and tight
youll know it will last all night
they will scream and shudder
they will take it like no other
If they scream they will get a whip
So dont scream and thats a free tip
this is not a crime, and your not on trial
bend over baby, im gonna make you smile
By the end they will walk with a limp
they will always be my gimp
The end

Third place goes to Calscius@yaris8
A romulan is one of few words
But I shall say this

for there is no greater house
than house of Nagh reD
so Now we all go to Gareth's bed
thank you

And finally an honourable mention, Halkulath@Halish
There once was a warrior from Q'onos
Who had a lovely tight butt
I fought with him in battle
and removed his body from his foot
We fought a few more times
And eventually he won
He proceeded to chop of my foot
It was all in very good fun!
We both had lost our best foot
and we both had lovely tight butts
and together we limped into battle

hop hop, hop hop, hop hop.
When we were old and grey
We realised we were gay.
Our battles had long past
We were together at last
For each of us had one foot
but together we both had feet
THE END!

Thank you!

Yesterday we all heard great songs at May'Qep
Now let me remind you: there is a next step.
Upcoming sunday we'll party once more
Cause parties are what #yourovision19 is for!

There will be a quiz and themed fashion show
Just follow this link to what's there to know.
Also, you can make a guess, don't be shy,
At which countries will and will not qualify.

I'll come to the end of this post now by stating
That - irrespectible of the final rating -
I think that in Kling- just like in Eurovision
all participants are winners in the competition!

So congrats to all who were brave and stood their grounds
And filled Kling-O-Vision with very klingon sounds.



ThanQ to Kierix for being a wonderful charming host and Voleron for being an amazing photographer.
Glory to the House of Nagh reD! Qapla'!

Awesome screenshots!
