Finally, we have an eighth story.

And a great one, too. I would like to nominate My Dinner with Xerxes by Jeremy 2.0

Centauri18 · January 21, 2003, 17:31

Second.

Centauri18 · January 21, 2003, 21:40

So can we get to the voting part of the contest soon? Just out of curiosity.

DarkCloud · January 22, 2003, 00:07

Yes. In a bit- I'll post it as soon as I'm done with teh apolyton hall of fame... in 2 days!

More Details Here:

And thread 74529

(By then we might also be able to announce the winner of the Finals and can make a good news item!

--->the more important reason for waiting...

If you want to nominate for #16... just do it here preliminarily...

You see, I'm trying to schedule the news items... if you don't want me to- I'll post the poll tommorrow!

Centauri18 · January 22, 2003, 00:08

Okay.

vovan · January 22, 2003, 00:39

Nope, news items are great, I think

We'll wait and extra day or two.

DarkCloud · January 24, 2003, 21:52

...The countdown begins... 3 days to go

Updated the nominations sheet.

Do you work for Infogrames by any chance, DC? Three days ago you said:

And now you say, that we have to wait three more days? Hey, now, we don't want to wait a year for a news item!

JK, Cloud, take your time, we have some stories to read here, for now.

DarkCloud · January 24, 2003, 22:14

No, I said three days till the finals poll is over so that I can announce the winners

when it's over we can do a 3 part newsitem

Contest #14,15,16

And perhaps a new announcement on the new editor of the Stories section in the Apolyton Directory... Myself

We need a tiebreaker

If the tie is broken- I can announce the winner early

So it's my fault we have to wait. Yikes! I live in a glass house it seems.

A question why has "A Cradle Of Thorns" been ommitted from the nominations? It is finished and I myself nominated it and I believe SKILORD seconded it.

Ummm... Fourth from the top in the list?

TheGuitarist · January 24, 2003, 23:06

The upcoming contest is gonna be a REALLY tough choice. Most of these stories could be individually voted best in their own way.

ChrisiusMaximus · January 24, 2003, 23:09

Im just off to pick up me new glasses

Centauri18 · January 24, 2003, 23:14

Hey Chris, are you gonna write a story?

Centauri18 · January 24, 2003, 23:15

And now that you mention it, Dark, maybe every few contests we should have a contest devoted to stories in different categories - comedy, action, history, and so forth. The first one could involve all the stories that came first, second, and third in the contest so far. After that, we do a similar awards contest every... I dunno, eight contests or so.

ChrisiusMaximus · January 24, 2003, 23:24

Ive got one in progress at the moment but cannot commit time to writng it for now but I shall return Centauri

I agree with our strumming friend each of these stories deserves to be a winner, mind you the same can be said for rounds 13 and 14.

Well, the numbers in the current contest kind of proove that. I mean, if somebody doesn't vote for Either bassman's story, of the culture flip, we are going to have to have another 2-day poll...

That's a good idea!

Should we allow all the ones which won the first few contests to participate?

The main work with the thing will be determining which stories fall under which categories...

DarkCloud · January 26, 2003, 14:27

...And speaking of that, I should probably get the "Best of" Poll ready

I think we should, because since there will be a lot of categories, there will be few stories to fill them, and if we have one story per category, that would be ... well, not much fun.

DarkCloud · January 26, 2003, 18:47

What categories should we have?

Action
Ancient
Humor
Modern
Spy-Thriller

-
any other?

DarkCloud · January 26, 2003, 20:04

Oh well, I finally got tired of waiting and created the next polls
