Not sure what you're wanting here, Shade. But I'll take a stab:

None of those can make 5 words! Boooooooo

Hey, what fun is it to have a contest which is too easy to win.
G_Beee was close, but not entirely what I meant.
Read more closely what the entire message says...

If not, I just wasted a lot of time, lol.

As I said, G_Beee didn't have it right, and you did waste a lot of time indeed...

mmm....well there are five letters in the word 'word'
w, o, r, d - and U as in double U
AdminShade
September 12 2006 3:42 PM EDT
nope...
Alright perhaps it is time for a big hint.
It does have to do with 5 letters fitting in a word, and 5 words making a letter.
How you do it is up to you, but I'm the judge
Hot el
Mus ic
cross
chick
bingo
(BTW, that'S supposed to be an ASCII Y)
I don't know what that would look like if I converted it to HTML, so I'll just add this sentence.

Hmmm, how about the letters v-o-w-e-l (five letters in a word).
vow, ow, owl, love, wove (five words make a letter, a vowel?)

I'm guessing some non-English letter's English name is spelled using the letters A C G I M N O P R U Y. That's always one direction someone could go. Only sharing because I don't care who solves it I want to know the answer.

Sorry if I missed it guys, but since when is "eee" a word?
Five words in a letter would be a Note and notes is a five letter word so notes is the word!...?

OK, let's try again. Again, I'll try ASCII graphics---best viewed in a fixed width font like Courier.

B = Bee
I = I
J = Jay
O = Owe
U = You
All the words sounded like a letter and the 5 letters make a word, and according to google, Bijou is a small and delicately worked piece and Bijou is french for 'jewel'.
Just guessing around.

Sigh, I think I was too cryptic indeed.
Well:
Caedmon was the first to come up with 5 words...
G_Beee came with 5 words made out of 5 letters each, though not in the form I wanted it to be...
edyit then made a letter with 5 words made out of 5 letters each, closer even but not really functional yet...
So now for the actual 'assignment':
Write me a letter containing 5 words, while each word is made up out of 5 letters. The most original (or best fitting) letter wins.
The prize is yet unknown but will come from my own account.

Shade,

(Ditto)
Shade,
Bilbo found seven rings today.
Shade,
Break thine bonds often, silly.
Maize feels light, Judge Tommy.
Now if only I could string these together to make a cohesive five-sentence letter, each made up of five words of five letters each. That'd be hot.

Now THAT was interesting.... Ok, I'm done.

Okay, okay I didn't want to pull this one out, because it still makes a lot of you sad, but here is a copy of a letter sent to all the CB admins:
December 27, 2005
Shade -
Gamer fight query stops drive. Power grid's blown, shreds again. Kills might cause awful nerfs. Ideas aren't plain, undue grief. Looks awful - game's death today.
Ellis
Shade,
Maybe you've tried overt steps. Maybe you've tried faith. Facts state you're doing zilch. Abuse hurts. Cease these spams today.
Yours truly.
"How to beat NS? 5 paragraphs of 5 lines of 5 words with 5 letters. Yeah... not happening from me lol."
hmm.........
That'd be fun.

Well it was hard for me, some of them were very funny!
#1 NightStrike:
Shade,
Bilbo found seven rings today.
#2 BarzooMonkey:

#3 NightStrike:
Shade,
Bilbo found seven rings again. Their power grows great today. Inner chaos cooks birds alive. Sting emits light, quite aglow......
Radio Earth... death comes close.
I found NightStrike's first entry very amusing already and this was a sure winner.
BarzooMonkey's entry about the game falling apart was also hilarious
Then I picked another of NightStrike's entries because it was the first one to actually invent something I didn't think of yet.
#1 wins $50k
#2 wins $35k
#3 wins $15k
rest of the entries, by various people, who correctly made a sentence from 5 words containing 5 letters, get 5k for their trouble.
AdminShade
September 24 2006 12:55 PM EDT
There: all $155k worth total of prizes have been sent.
