[QUOTE="Kevin Perrine, post: 1652203, member: 20347"] [b]Inconsistencies & the No Prize Award[/b] Remember if you're going to Nitpick, do it over here please... I don't want to waste space explaining the point behind my actions on the story thread. For the nitpick... HURRAH... You get a [B]"No Prize"[/B] ... but wait... to Nitpick, you actually DON'T win a "No Prize" because in Mighty Marvel tradition - if you're going to complain about a minor inconsistency you NEED to explain it for the author so that it WORKS with continuity anyway, that's what Stan Lee and the Might Marvel Bullpen used to do... My favortite example of a No Prize was: Spidey web swinging past the Empire State building... ABOVE IT... Where did his web line come down from??? A faithful reader won a "No Prize" for describing it as... luckily a passing Sea-gull was there to catch the Web-Slinger's web so that he wouldn't need to worry about falling... You see... Even the best writers accidentally screw up. and when we do... it's up to YOU folks to bail us out of it, not just point out the problems. heheheh... just kidding Dalamar, apologies for the inconsistency, I need to think more before replying to the 20 seperate threads I'm replying to... ;-) Either way..... it's all an illusion anyway. :-) Soon as the rest of the FF arrive to post we will get rolling on the Secret War!! [B]Police your own...[/B] thanks -kev- [/QUOTE]
