If I might make a small request...

If anyone wants to give XP praising a submission, I don't mind. But, could you please wait until after the judgment has been made? Those sorts of comments make it that much harder to stay objective when judging an entry.

Thanks.

Ingredients for Round 1, Match 8 are up!

...maybe I went a little too far. Ah, well, no turning back now.

Hey guys,

I hope this doesn't throw too much of a corkscrew in the tournament, but I'm going to be traveling via car for the next couple of days (across the country) and will probably be away from internet/computer until friday. Seeing as the second round is about to begin, I was wondering if we avoid scheduling my match in the next couple of days.

Let me know. Thanks, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Sorry about that; I think I set a bad precedent. I will withhold XP merits until after judgment.

Are you kidding?! I love this list of ingredients! I can't wait to see what our contestants come up with.

I think we can work around that. We probably won't be ready to begin Round 2 until Thursday at the earliest.

You and me both. I have only the haziest idea of what to do.

For ingredient #6, I just have to say: WTF?

I know...I still chuckle when I see it. Still, I wonder...

Spoiler

...how many different components of that video will get used? Sure there is "beer," that much is obvious. But depending on how serious the contestants take it, there is also:

The Bug-Eyed Chairman
Three Huge Portraits
Iron Chef Bobby Flay
Refrigerated Table
Blue Silk Handkerchief
Live Studio Audience
American Flag
Orchestra Crescendo
Fog Machine
Mound of Cubed Ice
Absurd Repetition

(...did I miss any?)

Hey all -- just wanted to say I'm back. I should be able to pick up my duties again . . . Which looks like I'll be starting with round two matches.

It's nice to see nothing crazy happened while I was in the high mountains . . . . Oh wait, WTF??

I just want to say, now that I'm about halfway done, that I'm probably going to lose this round. But it will be totally worth it.

I haven't had this much fun writing an adventure... EVER. It will be amazing.

This will be the best adventure written since 2e's Gargoyle! It follows in the grand tradition of Dungeonland, Castle Greyhawk, and that time my friends and I bought a bunch of Mountain Dew and played D&D in a crackshed trailer before realizing we were all high on Mescaline.

Wait, what?

So, I've got a day to do this in, right? Because I'm dead tired. I'm going to have to do the rest tomorrow. But I like what I've got so far.
