[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 654361, member: 221"] Incognito, I'm sorry if my exposition came out sounding bitter or upset or something. Rereading it I can see how you might get that. On the other hand its full of smileys and I was smiling the whole time I was responding to your judgment. I'm really easy going and not at all upset about losing in the first round. Really. I'm smiling right now. :) My only problem was that I just was a bit confused about some of your reactions to the use of ingredients as your comments about your perception of my intentions flew directly in the face of what I actually intended. I did not intend to use the llama seriously. I did not intend for the original set-up to be more than a bit of a farce on a classical greek tragedy, but as in most of my scenario's I tried to follow through with the consequences for the people caught up in the farce. specifically, some examples of what you said that puzzled me... I have no idea why you would think I meant for anyone to take a huge llama seriously. Or for that matter a god of wind, rain and mountain tops named Ferfinigu (say that five times fast without smiling.) On the other hand I did mean for the xills to be taken seriously. Again I think this is personal preference. I personally like mixing the ridiculous in with the serious in the same story allowing the one to contrast with the other. Which is exactly what I would expect to happen. You make it sound as if you thought I was failing in my purpose while stating that I would have accomplished what I thought my scenario would accomplish. That was my only real beef. I didn't mind losing. I just didn't understand being criticized for using comedy when I was trying to use a bit of comedy. I seem to recall that my first entry in the last contest, in which I also was being funny (in my mind anyway) was not one of your favorites and so I am left with the conclusion that perhaps our styles of humor are just slightly out of kilter. :) I thank you for judging though, bear no hard feelings, will be cheering for Nifft and look forward eagerly to the rest of the rounds. :cool: [/QUOTE]
