If you could, just listen for a moment
And hear an old man, ramble once more
For you see
I have but one thing left to say
Though I have a life long lived
And as the darkness closes in
Night draws a soothing curtain
I have only this
What gold cannot buy
A thief cannot steal
What men can only dream
What I hope, I pass to you

Frayace3 votesthis is freaking awesome :D. Is it a reference to anything?
Flintfall1 votesI'm afraid not, he just simply requests one last audience
The Neverworld3 votesI don't get the purpose of this. And why it's getting 5 upvotes for and the hype from a Rioter?
Some words, no goal, just describing the last words of a man.
Why do I even write huge amounts of text that is getting unnoticed and ignored, when all I have to do is just put three short passages and a image...
And I've found the artist, seems like it's "Marek Okon" http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/marek-okon
Rubitonabuilding3 votesI'm not attacking you, please don't take it that way. I'm just going to point out that when you respond to something like this, seemingly exasperated at how 'easy' it is for others to get upvotes while you 'struggle' and such, it comes across as extremely negative.
I completely understand your point of view though (I think), as I have put hours of work into some of the things I post only to have nobody respond to them. But you don't need to imply that this doesn't deserve upvotes or Rioter hype, just because it's short and doesn't appear to have a goal at first glance.
The Neverworld6 votesI was merely implying that it is not going anywhere. Neither a fan creation of existing Champions or anything related to League of Legends nor the start of a upcoming custom Champion.
Simplified, it's just a bunch of words. I mean they are the last words of a man, I get that - but there are no any other informations if this is going to be a future custom Champion or whatsoever - this is what makes me shrug my head if I see so that many upvotes in short time.
Flintfall8 votesI did it for fun, er...
Rubitonabuilding5 votesIt doesn't have to go anywhere. Not everything needs a purpose.
The Neverworld5 votesIt kinda needs a purpose... otherwise Fan Creations would have no use. This is the League of Legends forum.
Go to any other forum on the world wide web.. let's say "Monster Hunter fansite" - talk there about League of Legends in their general discussion and you're going to be thrown out completely or pushed back into the Offtopic.
I'm not here to be negative, I was just asking for the purpose as I couldn't see it though others seemed to know it. Now this is starting to a sorta fight, which I never wanted.
Flintfall2 votesA Lokfar Lament
The Neverworld2 votesMakes now sense
Flintfall3 votesThanks for the image source, and I have also noticed that smaller posts get a lot of (many times unwarranted) attention.
In a smaller post, one reads it in an instant, and can immediately decide to upvote or not. With longer text, the post becomes more of a challenge to read, something to analyze and mull over.
You get two distinctive crowds, the 2nd one being much smaller (Which is often a part of the 1st crowd anyway), hence why if you look at Fan Creation's greatest hits, most of them are very brief (Outside of the champion concepts).
EDIT: I also like to point out I enjoy making walls of text as well, I'm just not done with my 2nd concept yet
The Neverworld2 votesYeah realized it too now. Just out of curiousity, I've posted a small post - got 3 upvotes
PublicArtillery1 votesJealous? :3
Flintfall2 votesIronically, the post he made is 3x as popular :P
