Good stuff. The stories here are so good, that I almost voted for half of them

EDIT: In fact, now that I look over the results of the poll, I did vote exactly for half of them

SKILORD · January 8, 2003, 21:59

I voted for 1 more than you vov.

ChrisiusMaximus · January 8, 2003, 22:16

Since when can you vote, Chris?

I remember you couldn't on the unfinished stories polls. Any way, glad you can now participate in the process

I turned 18 just last week

But really I just use MSN browser instead and it works fine for some reason. Just AOL that sucks.

Actually, taking into consideration goober's vote, which he couldn't cast using the poll, Forstbite, and Land of the Brave, both by SKI, also have four votes. So, up to now, it is a four-way tie of four votes.

Centauri18 · January 9, 2003, 19:50

Well, they were tied after I voted.

DarkCloud · January 9, 2003, 23:09

I voted for 4- now Gandhi Kahn is tied with Culture Flip

And 2 of SKILORDS look good to move onto the finals

vovan · January 10, 2003, 13:41

Bumpity bump

Maybe you should PM Mark to top this, and the new rules thread, DC?

Centauri18 · January 10, 2003, 19:15

Somebody else VOTE!

Centauri18 · January 10, 2003, 19:28

Gandhi Khan just got its 666th post. Ominous?

It probably was the number of views, as it has 107 posts right now. But ominous nonetheless

SKILORD · January 10, 2003, 21:50

Land of the Brave is tied for the top spot.

I personally liked Frostbite more, it was deeper, but now i see what the crowd clamors for, violence.

I can do that.

Centauri18 · January 10, 2003, 22:42

I could only vote once, and yet it says that ten people voted, which means somebody was able to vote a few times. How do you do that, anyway?

SKILORD · January 10, 2003, 22:49

Just click on multiple options when you vote.

DarkCloud · January 10, 2003, 22:49

You can vote more than once, it's a checkbox poll.

ovvansim- Mark hasn't read his mail yet- I PMed him the day I started this thread.

Centauri18 · January 10, 2003, 23:45

Oh.

SKILORD · January 11, 2003, 20:30

This really needs to be topped, and people need to vote for my stories.

looks like i'll get screwed in the next round though9assuming i even make it), with the other two so far ahead of me here.

unscratchedfoot · January 11, 2003, 20:34

SKILORD · January 11, 2003, 21:04

what's that for scratch?

SKILORD · January 14, 2003, 18:17

When do we move on?

vovan · January 14, 2003, 19:03

It's about time we did, since the five days that this poll is supposed to last were up yesterday.

I guess I can post the final poll if DC doesn't show up

Centauri18 · January 14, 2003, 19:07

So what, is it a tie?
(And take all the time you need - more time for me to finish my story and get in the enxt contest.

Take all the time you need.)

vovan · January 14, 2003, 19:12

Well, a couple of points of clarification.

Since there is a tie for the third place, four stories make it into the finals.

Also, for each round to even begin, we need eight nominated/seconded stories. So, it doesn't really matter how lond it takes for me or DC to post the finals poll.

Centauri18 · January 14, 2003, 19:26

Ah. I was just kidding anyway.
