As someone who lost a friend in the Bali attack on a similiar establishment, I mourn for this tragedy as another calamity that should not have happened. The power of panic is not to be underestimated, and its nature is to come forth in those times when reason is far more important, and when...

Errr... This thread bears an eerie resemblance to this thread. The only difference is that the name-calling is real, and that the original topic--while semi-controversial to some of us on these boards--was not exactly the kind of bait that would expect such responses. And full of...

States that Tolkien made several allusions to "The one root beer" throughout his books, which are, of course, full of allegory to the soft drink markets, a couple world wars, and the state of our modern world. Continues with a verbal diatribe full of pernicious and inflammatory diction. Wastes...

I jumped from the fifth page to the tenth and as far as I can see, nothing has changed. You can't have a debate where one or both sides refuse to budge. Hence, although I truly love speech and well reasoned arguement in every form, and thought for the first few pages that I would just HAVE to...

Colbey, from The Renshai Chronicles and the Renshai Cycle books. Has the ability to read minds, is the best swordsman to live, at various times was and is a pirate, general, teacher, adviser, Strategist, Wizard, God. First seen trying to kill himself by walking into every local army he can...

My last game in the realms took place two years ago. We started at level 0, and eventually got up to level 8. I was the DM. The way I have always seen the Realms (and I know that this may seem direct contrast to the books) is that those level 20 characters are adventurers as much as the PCs...

Right, I get second place with -21C, -36 with windchill here in Calgary. We also had snow two days straight, after a long period of dead grass. People here say that it was all the complaining about the heat that did it... It seems just a week ago that we had the warmest January day record...

Even I am still hear, waiting... waiting to see... Where are the final tales?!

A good call, judges. I would have said the same myself. I was trying for a completely different voice, and I know that I didn't carry it with the right tone. Furthermore, I didn't set it aside for editing in the morning... when I think I would have just rewritten most of it! Even if I had...

Leading a man to temptation and make him give in... Is there really all that much of a difference? :)

Now that I think of it, you are right. Funny that, I never made the connection. Thanks for your praise. While I'm not quite happy with the fact that I didn't wait until morning to post--thus giving myself some time to edit out a few blatent mistakes that night cloaked from my eyes--I'll...

Heheh. You know what this is doing to us players, yes? Nevertheless, I am willing to wait. Even if the anticipation kills me first. I just have to keep fighting the urge to click that edit button and do away with those pesky post-writing flaws that seem so clear to me now... It doesn't help...

I would have liked to work on it some more, but here it is. I blame myself for leaving it so late this time. I look forward to seeing what Mirthcard produces. Those were not easy pictures, and I certainly had a tough--but also enjoyable, in a painful fashion--time. How did you do? Cheers...

Speaker vs. Mirthcard I arrived at the elegant dinner party just as the soiree was entering a fever pitch of noise and excitement. I allowed my rented spectral horse and carriage fade into magical mist as I took stock of the celebrations. When I next needed them, the rental service had...

I second that. What an amazing collection. No doubts about it, this is a challenge.

I'm glad to hear that I made it to the second round. Thank you for the kind comments, judges all. Arwink- While I've never read Neil Gaiman's work, I'm flattered for the comparison. Now I will have to pick up a copy!

Now this, I like! What a catchy tune! What genius! Put me in the 'MORE!' list.

Good day, all. What, no resolution? Only the tangible supsense of anticipation! Why, judges, why?! *Ahem* I wait patiently to hear your judgements, O wise and powerful. Shine thy light of knowledge down on me, so that I might be fufilled.

Alright, I admit it. I'm too wound up to go to sleep. Writing does that to me. So instead, I read all the other entries submitted. I am impressed. Wow. You couldn't pay me to take a judge position, 'cause there's no way I'd want to pick and choose. Good work, everyone. Now, to think...

It feels good to be done. What time is it? Yikes! I'll see you all tomorrow. If I don't get sleep soon, I'll end up looking like a certain zombie picture. Cheers.
