Bump! Damn thing should stay at the top like the first heat did! I suspect many people don't even know the vote is still on!

Bump and comments

This one was hard. There was no clear winner.
I voted for Culinary delights,
but I'm not certain that was my favorite. I just voted
for number two because I wanted a race.
(I vote Libertarian, I guess I just don't like voting
for the guy that wins

I liked Valkyries. But I think I would need to change a few things
about it. The clues were cool. I might have her attack random
places in town.

I liked the Culinary delights, but I'm not sure it would
fit in my campaign.

Bibliotech was good. I like Treants. I wanted something more
from it. Maybe a reason the PC's went there.

And *I* liked Pond Scum. It was small and quick with a
twist (even if it was obvious). I would
have voted for it if it had been second.

Narvesh the Seer was interesting. I like crazy loners. And you could introduce obscure prophetic adventure hooks with him.

A Hunter In The Darkness, This was pretty cool too. I liked the
twists. What would the party do?

(this really should be a sticky if at all possible)

Valkyrie came from behind in one day, with more than double the votes of the next entry. Is it really that far and away superior to the rest, or is there something fishy going on?

Just putting that out there and seeing if it floats.

Glub, glub. Nope. Looks like it sinks.

How exactly do you propose something fishy going on when all the votes are tied to individual accounts, and only accounts which were established before the polls were initiated are allowed to vote?

Maybe the author has a lot of friends here, and he encouraged them to vote for his entry. While I think campaigning is a real cheesy way of turning this into a popularity contest (and I would hope that the people who vote give all entries a fair chance) you're going to be real hard pressed to prove that anyone was doing something underhanded here.

is there something fishy going on?

While I admit the current leader is not my favorite, it has been consistantly in the lead (not a lot of votes for it all at once).

Also winners of the previous 2 heats wern't my favorite either, so I'm just accepting that my tastes are different than the norm.

and if something fishy does float, that means the fish is dead.
