In quality of story, I felt it was a choice between Deadwood (It's shadow stuff, it's well written and I quite liked the chracter of Deadwood, nice work Wes!) and Crimson Tides (It was confusing during the first read, however, when I read it again I managed to piece it togeather and it was very good. It had a deeper meaning, and was, if I may say, a fantastic piece of writing.

In the end, I voted for Crimson Tides. Mainly as Deadwood had a kind of incomplete feel to it (I know it's a run up to ShadowZero, but I'm just saying that is what tipped the balence :p).

[Apache_Longbow]

I like Disptach Rider Tilsley, Crimson Tide, Pushed Too Far, and Postcard from Spamyard. I ended up voting for Dispatch for reasons I'm not exactly certain about. It was just the one that I liked the most overall, more of a gut feeling than anything. All the others would be well worthy if picked first though.

[<Delta_Sector>]

aaah! take mine off! Sry about the delays, I think my story wont be finished until I removed some workload off my back. :freek:

[sterio]

I just thought I'd say: I have actually voted, even if I didn't advertise what I voted for :p

[VO]

I am still unsure who to vote for... :(

[Wesforce]

I just thought I'd say: I have actually voted, even if I didn't advertise what I voted for :p

Why not? :cry:

[Phyre]

I voted Crimson Tides... I liked a lot of them, mainly Deadwood, Crimson Tides and Postcard, but Crimson was just that bit better

[Wesforce]

I voted Meaningless Revenge... It just hit the spot for me ;)

(Hmm, thread needs more response. Time to stir it up...)

Either you are very, very drunk... or I completely missed the point of that post :freek: :p

[Desolator12]

Nobody has voted for my story... *sigh* *goes and votes for self, as he is too lazy to read the other stories, and prolly won't win anyway*

[sterio]

Why not? :cry:


Sorry :p It's because I can't really back the vote up with good reasons. :p I just like that story the most... I find it well written, it has a good storyline, and stuff like that, but that can be said about most of the stories... But if you really want to know, my vote went to AI. It's quite simple: it was the most fun to read...

[Wesforce]

Either you are very, very drunk... or I completely missed the point of that post :freek: :p

Yeah, you would, fragger :p

(More votes... more votes...)

Despatch Rider Sucks!!! Don't vote for it!!!

Vote for Deadwood :p

[Phyre]

I did...

[Artificial Idiot]

A vote for Crimson Tides is a vote for safe and sercure potatoes the world over!

[Desolator12]

A vote for Desolate Life is a vote for your safety from my Rabid Chiuaua and his friend, Mr. Wolverene

A vote for Meaningless Revenge is a vote for a fresh $20 bill in the mail :p

[Master Chris]

/me voted for Wes' D.R.T. story, just to cheese him off. :D

[Wesforce]

A vote for Meaningless Revenge is a vote for a fresh $20 bill in the mail :p

Oh yeah? It's not here yet... :squint:

And someone voted for The Scourge of Space... the story that shouldn't have been on there :drool:

Red... you cheesed me off :grumpy:

[Apache_Longbow]

Oh yeah? It's not here yet...

Sorry, I didn't use Western Union :p

[Andra]

I voted. Who for? Only the people who can see who voted for what know :p

[Apache_Longbow]

I voted. Who for? Only the people who can see who voted for what know :p
Or we could just look for the one vote that has been added :p

[Wesforce]

I voted. Who for? Only the people who can see who voted for what know :p

So much for 'Explain why you voted as you did' :rolleyes:

[sterio]

I know what he voted, I know what he voted! :p (I used the same method as A_L :p)

[Wesforce]

Wewt, only a few days left... One vote could make all the difference bewteen the little trophy thing the winners get...

*Btw there will now be 1st 2nd and 3rd place prizes*

[sterio]

So the prize'll be a small trophy by their name?

[Wesforce]

Yep, assuming I can get M00 to put them on...

*still waiting for the flag, M00 :p*

[sterio]

Come on people! Vote if you haven't! It'll close this evening!

[Wesforce]

Okay, poll over.

And look: Some stupid fragger went and gave us a Tied first place! FRAGGERS!

*goes off to ponder what to do about this*

Edit: Make that tied first AND second place.

[Ta Hun Kwai]

I know!!! Let the Administrators read and decide, then they will cast their vote between the two!!!!

[Artificial Idiot]

Why should it be up to the admins, they are hardly good critics are they? :rockbrow:

[VO]

Seing as I'm the non-competing moderator of this forum, you could use my vote. :p

[Wesforce]

Poll opened for another 5 days.

[Artificial Idiot]

Damn it people! Vote! Vote in the masses, don't make me win this thing! I don't want to win! Argh! :(

Vote Crimson Tides! An investment for the future! :color3:

[Phyre]

only 3rd place tied now...

[Apache_Longbow]

People, I'm glad to announce that I have garnered a full 4.76% of the vote.

The same percent as DS. :|

:p

[Blue Aurora]

I voted for Deadwood...Deadwood 0wns! :D :lol: :rofl: :evil: :cool: :devil: J_t :drool: :hyper:

[Artificial Idiot]

only 3rd place tied now...
I think that might be influenced by the fact Wes doesn't want to have 2nd AND third place :p

[Phyre]

I'm surprised he let himself put 2 in...

[Wesforce]

Despatch Rider Tilsley was just meant to be a joke :p

It got more than Deadwood, my 'serious' story :|

[VO]

vote Tilsey or Deadwood - 'cos AI cheated by using forum members to attract more votes. :p

[Artificial Idiot]

Yeah, vote Tilsey or Crimson Tides, because I suck and you all know it! Stop showing false sympathy you bastards :(

[Blue Aurora]

Chill, AI, chill.
If the New Adventures of Cap'n Camel were in, then maybe I'd had voted for you... ;) :D

[Artificial Idiot]

It wasn't finished by the time this poll was up. And was probably too long anyway :p

[Wesforce]

We had 'What Happened While Cap'n Camel Wasn't Looking' instead :p

[Desolator12]

Just vote for a desolate life and I won't have to kill the whole lot of ya!

[Wesforce]

*Oops, this was only meant to be a 5-day extension*

And we have results!

Postcard From Spamyard by Idiote came first
Despatch Rider Tilsley by Wesforce came 2nd
Crimson Tides by TAG came 3rd.

Thanks for everyone who wrote and who voted. Maybe we'll have another one sometime... *shudder*

Mr M00, would you be so kind as to hand out the awards? :color1:

[Artificial Idiot]

Do I have to write an acceptance speech or something? :scared:

[Wesforce]

Yes. In fact, make it the next installment of Cap'n Camel ;)

*Plays the Soviet Anthem as the gongs are handed out*

[Artificial Idiot]

I think I'll make this short and sweet...

I fragging hate you all and hope you all burn :p

Thank you! :)

[sterio]

Yay! Congratulations AI! I voted for you!

*burns*

:p

[Artificial Idiot]

Yeah, you better burn you fragger! And you better burn up good! :p

[Desolator12]

ehe *pulls out one of his napalm grenades, which is napalm in a water baloon, and throws it up in the air onto a candle.. the effects are fun and the screams of pain can be heard all throughout the DENs as Blue Aurora burns to a smoldering crater...

[Blue Aurora]

I think you missed and the balloon hit a bush. No big deal. :D
Now, I'm gonna get to work on my story.

[Wesforce]
