Story Contest Round 20: Nominations - Page 2

Seconded, it is safe to say that this is not a civ 3 story but it is no less an excelllent piece of writing

DarkCloud · March 10, 2004, 23:54

Hmm... well, if we can get someone else to submit some other stories, SKILORD, how would you feel about limiting your submissions to 2... having 3 in pretty much heavily weighs the contest in your favor

although It should be noted that you have done a dramatic amount of word-work in recent months

SKILORD · March 11, 2004, 17:34

That's fine with me DC.

Drop Ripper from the roster and save her for later.

unscratchedfoot · March 11, 2004, 20:29

Darkman, how do you figure 3 stories gives skipie an advantage? It would actually be a big disadvantage to him to submit more stories than less. This is because the people who like skipie will either spread their votes between his 3 stories resulting in vote depletion or pile them all onto the stains on my underwear and teeth story which most people seem to think is the best one. Either way, he gets no advantage at all. It would be like having more than one representative from the Democrats running in the next american presidential election - splits the demos' vote rather than increases it.

SKILORD · March 11, 2004, 22:40

Let's save Ripper for the next contest.

"Trial for Atrocity" by nbarclay, another great little short story, very well written IMO.

I assume it is complete please correct me if I am wrong. It would help if you put The End at the end

Thanks for the nomination. Yes, it's complete; to be honest, the thought of putting an explicit "The End" on it never even occurred to me since I posted the two messages at the same time (cut and pasted from a word processor mere seconds apart) and the story was logically complete. But in retrospect, I can see how people who see two messages could wonder if there might possibly be a third.

I second "Stains of Blood and ash". Good stuff

EDIT:Second, Third, whatever

SKILORD · March 20, 2004, 00:37

Nominated:

A Bottle of Ketchup by one unscratchedfoot.

Now I'm not the only one with 2 in

unscratchedfoot · March 24, 2004, 07:10

I de-2nd ketchup so it never goes in a contest. Ski, why nominate stories you aren't going to vote for? My stories are never voted for by their nominators.

SKILORD · March 24, 2004, 18:54

:sigh:

Just trying to speed things along.

Sorry scratch.

unscratchedfoot · March 24, 2004, 22:15

Also I want Snakeskin removed from this. Obviously skilord and vova are not going to vote for it so there's no point in it being here.

DarkCloud · March 24, 2004, 23:55

okay, I'll do that.

But other people vote as well.

Paddy · March 26, 2004, 07:04

Yes there are a few others of us out here that vote as well.

ChrisiusMaximus · April 18, 2004, 11:06

Nice work there, nice work.

ChrisiusMaximus · May 9, 2004, 04:08

I will happily second that its a well written piece, good work Vovan

I totally forgot!

We never did go through and get on with the news. Could you make me a news editor, please MarkG? There were a few posts nominating me for that position on the old thread somewhere around here. I will make sure the section is filled and up-to-date at all times.

Also, starting with this contest, I will follow through with my promise in the civgroup request thread and add all the stories nominated into the directory. Again, thanks for doing this. We appreciate your efforts a lot.
