[[Blizzard]] ran a promotion called the "Challenge of the Diableards" that was slated to run from 8/24/2011 to the release of Diablo 3.
==Information==
From the announcement on the Diablo 3 community blog<ref>Blizzard. [http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/3359129 "Challenge of the Diableards" blog post]. 8-24-2011.</ref>:
<blue>
It’s time for a challenge... not a challenge of will, or of strength, or to drink a gallon of milk. This is a challenge of follicular fortitude.
It’s time to grow a beard.
Over the past six months, many members of the Diablo III development team have risen to this challenge themselves – and while you may have some catching up to do, the goal remains the same: grow and maintain the most awe-inspiring Diableard you can, and don't shave it off until the day Diablo III is released.

==Diableards of the Diablo 3 development team==
Along with the announcement, Blizzard provided images of Diableards being grown by the development team as inspiration. They appear in the gallery below.

==Diablstache? Diabloustache?==

[[Image:Micah_Whipple_-_Bashiok.jpg |thumb |right |180px |Bashiok's moustache or... Diabloustache?]]
</div>
A fan inquired about the possibility of growing a moustache for the contest instead of a beard, to which @Diablo replied<ref>Flux. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blue-on-systems-soon-and-not-shaving Blue on Systems, Soon, and (Not) Shaving]. 8-25-2011.</ref>:
<blue>
<font color="white">In response to the Diableard contest, can we modify it to the Diablstache? In commemoration of Bashiok’s mighty visage, ofc. #diablo –NocturneGS</font>
Bashiok is also now growing a beard in honor of the challenge. Its patchiness is only matched by its slow rate of growth. –@Diablo

[[Bashiok]] (Micah Whipple) has garnered a reputation in the Diablo community for his impressive moustache. See the accompanying image to the right.
