Ugh. So, 4500 words. And for the record, the 24 hour timespan had nothing to do with it - I wrote all of those last night, between the hours of 10:30pm and midnight. So it's not the timespan, it's me. Last round and this round, I felt really, really inspired, and I fear it completely killed...

Ha. I said concise earlier. I lied. Greybar, I sincerely apologize - this one kind of disproves everything I said to you. Anyway, here it is... [size=3]Hateful Ambition[size] Primary ingredients: Leach - the pumice stone cup, which can be stolen Lost vault - the burial chambers Horn of...

Hello Kitty on crack and Cat in a Hat with a Baseball Bat. Back alley fights between soaring felines and Trash Can Lid Fu. If you've ever heard Primus' song Tommy the Cat, you know where that cat is at.

Got it. Check my l33t reply :).

Re: Championship Match: Nemmerle vs. Seasong! You shall all rue this day ;). Nice ingredients.

Just a reminder to send me your move by tonight. Some of you already sent your move, then sent me questions, then didn't confirm to stick with the old move - if you don't send me a new move, I will stay with the old.

I am also excited about this. Good or bad, I look forward to facing the iconic judge.

Yup. Drop 'em whenever.

Of course you would - since you happen to naturally align with the judge, you don't need to. Shall I just hand the crown to you, or can you pick it up yourself? ;)

In theory, you have to write a solid scenario as part of pushing the judge's buttons. However, and this is just my opinion, a solid scenario does not need any of the traits you mentioned. It doesn't need puzzles if the group doesn't like 'em. It doesn't need fighting if you're running a modern...

Er... Well, actually, my 2nd round entry, which is the longest I have ever written for any IronDM ever, is just a hair over 4,000 words. It may aso be the longest entry I've seen in an IronDM, too. And Wulf's was a short-n-sweet 1600 words. Most of the entries in this IronDM have hovered around...

Whoring is not the meta-game. It's the only game. Writing for yourself while trying to win, that's the metagame*. Congratulations on achieving both! I've got a pretty decent stock of them, I can lend you one of mine. ;) -seasong * Metagaming, at least as I understand it, is using knowledge or...

I don't think links are inappropriate - I included one in round 2 myself. However, I do think that the scenario needs to be able to stand up without them, which cool hand luke's did. My link was to St Margaret, for those interested - but there was no reason in the scenario to care about who she...

I think it runs something along the lines of "Kick Xeras in the tail end. Repeat." How well that will work is another question entirely. Heh ;). Well, that's not the normal result, which is usually just an ordinary level-9 wish. This was a narrative event :) Since early Nov '02, so about 8 months.

This from a man who doesn't understand basic punctuation. And what insults? I've been pretending I have real competition for the final round, not moaning about the lack. ;) -seesaw ;)

Editted for clarity. I had nothing worth saying, and now that's clear.

Sounds fine. If you aren't counting time in a row, then my first entry in this contest only took 2 hours, and that while I was handling spreadsheet data requests for my "real" job. But the 21 1/2 hours of doing other stuff and letting my subconscious at the problem prior to buckling down and...

:cool:

Wonderful! I had to subscribe to this one, because I didn't really have time to look through the links Monday, but here I am, a dollar late and a day wiser ;) The http://www.hyw.com/Books/History/xxx site is beautiful. A lot of juicy tidbits for those of us that like to have history happen...

No prob. This may be an exercise in (what passes for) compact writing for me ;)
