[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2456384, member: 13098"] A variety of comments: First of all, I want to thank Alsih2o. Without him, we wouldn't have Ceramic DM. It is a fun experience. While I enjoy the stories, that is a secondary thing for me anymore. I enjoy the participants of Ceramic DM even more. I have always liked the banter and I like this aspect of the community of EN World. So every time I encourage people to post smack talk or just to pipe up in general, it is because I like the general conversation. Alsih2o, that is what you have helped give us. Not just stories, but a better feeling for who other board members are. I want to also thank Maldur, Mythago and Sialia for out-of-channel encouragement. Running Ceramic DM is hard. When I agreed to do this one, I didn't know how busy I would end up being at work. But I don't regret it at all. The encouragement from these folks helped a lot! I want to thank my fellow judges. These are great people. I knew I was going to do OK when I meant to write a comment in one of the early judgements and forgot it with everything else. I posted it together, realized I missed a comment I thought was crucial and thought 'I bet somebody else mentioned that same thing.' Somebody had! That was when I knew they had me covered. I want to thank the competitors. I made you guys wait for some of these judgements. I hope all of our comments have been useful. I know what it feels like to get that sting when somebody judges you. But you have some great stories here and I enjoyed reading them. And finally, thanks to the spectators. But please, feel free to comment on any story you want to! It's an open thread. Picture choices: Since I have never chosen pictures before, I wanted the first round to really fit a couple of potential things. Person, Place, Thing, Action. Those pictures had to suggest those elements to me. The writers could do anything they wanted with them, but I had to set parameters for myself in choosing the pictures. Later rounds I tried to keep to this same basic criteria. But I wanted pictures that might suggest more. Some pictures can suggest a person, place and an action all in one. Perhaps a martial arts picture. ;) I was quite sad to redo my pictures for the final round. In the context of the contest, I think the round two pictures were the most fun. I would also like to solicit comments on the twelve contestant format for round one, as well as the four judge format. Did these changes make the contest better? Your thoughts are welcome. Post, PM or email. Thanks folks! It was fun. [/QUOTE]
