ali: vasaline on the cheekbobes? Should I be worried? I am keeping an eye to this board for you competitor

Mirthcard: well, you certainly are persistend, and maybe you will get your chance!

 

[Tuerny]

Well, I was kind of hoping to go head to head with Rune in the first round, but I am sure that alsih2o will be a worthy opponent

ali: vasaline on the cheekbobes? Should I be worried?

isn't that what boxers do? am i being overly aggressive? should i not have on silk trunks? does this mean i can remove the mouthpiece?

[BI feel like, as the referee of this last match, I took an inadvertent punch from Wulf-san... [/B]

The vaguaries of Iron DM judging are not new to me; it's all good.

In fact-- high praise here-- that surprise judgement was downright nemmerlesque.

I'm flattered! Or...uh...not, depending on what you meant by that.

Dagnabit. Good batch of ingredients, too.

Well, I'm here and ready until just before 1:00 PM Eastern Time (US), but after that I won't be able to get on the net until after 5:00 PM.

 

[Tuerny]

I meant it in a good way.


I have been greatly impressed by your story hours in the past and would like the challange of throwing my creative talents against yours.

Plus you never did respond about Ral-Auth and I want to beat you down in revenge.

Re: Ladies and Gentleman!

I feel like, as the referee of this last match, I took an inadvertent punch from Wulf-san, but let me explain:

I wouldn't read too much into it. Allow me to quote Wulf from the last game:

Hmmm... I was thinking along the same lines, rg, and then I just decided that the seemingly arbitrary nature of the Judge was one of the lynchpins of the whole Iron DM concept.

And I think that's kinda cool.

I guess given two entries of equal merit, nemm might lean one way or the other just on his personal preference for how they are structured, but I don't think that would persuade me to change my methods.

I pretty much hold the same view.

Continuing with incognito
This is what I love about IRON DM. Even when you lose a round, it is the exposition of discussing the underlying ideas, and thought process that lead to a submission which captures interest. Agree with me or disagree, but do it in the thread, and talk it out. That starts the synapses firing for all the aspiring DMs out there who long for new and creative ideas for their campaign.

I'll be happy to discuss/defend my submissions if I win, but don't expect me to do so when I lose; I didn't do it last time and I won't do it this time. I didn't want Nemm to get the impression that I didn't respect his judgement, whether or not I agreed with his assessment (although, truthfully, I had hoped some more of the allusions would have been noticed, but that was my own side-meta-game) and I won't defend my losing entries (if any, ) in this one for the same reason.

Also, I think you're doing a great job of being nemmerlesque. I just hope we don't have to give you your own adjective, because incognitoesque would just be too difficult to say!


Now, to business. Although judging from the amount of people betting against me last game (in at least two seperate entries!) I wonder if I'm fan-least-favorite going into this match...
