They dump the movie early in the year, and the marketing campaign lets them hope for a good weekend (or maybe two) before sales drop off, so they can put a "#1 movie" sticker on the DVD and recoup there. It's got some nice visuals, it's got not a slew bad reviews (no screening), and so the ads...

I must be schizophrenic, because this is like a dream and a nightmare at the same time. No. Wait. It's only a nightmare. Well, you know what they say: If you want to be champion, you gotta beat them all. I would have wanted Piratecat to submit more than just two entries, but... Edit: And...

Argh.

I can attest to that from our online game. :)

Best as DM: Dexcription, atmosphere, believable NPCs Worst: off-the-cuff judgements, improvising, playing NPCs to the fullest of their ability Best as Player: Throwing myself into the plot, pushing the plot forward worst: strategy

So round two will be easy? Cool! I'm not sure when the judgement will arrive; should I be offline again, I'd prefer any picture date post-thursday, but I can do thursday if need be (I'll just start writing friday, then). That's all. and hello to carpedavid, who after seeing yangnome post most...

Yeah; while judging one story is work, judging a bunch of them is hard work. If you don't have that much time, you're better off competing than judging.

I'm looking forward to writing about my avatar pictures. But most of all, I'm looking forward to getting up tomorrow and reading the judgements. It'll be like christmas!

Hey, that's cool.

I hide my anger behind a veneer of civility – passive-agressive behavior is great. You're never the bad guy, no matter what you do. But yeah, I think I need an avatar that projects calm, rationality, wisdom... something like thog. Also: Unless you want me putting up another batch of possible...

You know that the second is the original "Berandor" :) But good analysis, and good idea with the "last one to win".

I'm currently reading Carl Sagan: A demon-haunted world, Orhan Pamuk: Istanbul, Thomas Harris: Imperium as well as the review copy of Holly Lisle: Vincalis the Agitator. Needless to say, progress is stuttering, plus I've got two more books I want to read and two more review copies I have to read...

We try not to talk about anything except gaming because we usually don't have that much time to game in a given month, anyway. However, any topic that comes up is fair game. We know how to argue without being too rude or condescending, and we know each others well enough (and consider ourselves...

I just had both pages open at the same time on different tabs, and switched back and forth.

Did my duty and voted. I want to thank the programmers for making my age bracket 15-30, so I can pretend to still be a teenager.

Damn. that's true, of course. The seminar was truly awful. The poet/teacher didn't even attend the final session, and so we sat around talking freely about the stories. A greater heap of pretension has rarely been encountered. In the end, we were all good friends, and all our stories were...
