Story & Lore Mini-Contests ~ Reincarnation of a Dead Soldier

[Pharaoh_]

Guys, this is spam, stop it. You can't expect judges to work like machines. Please, wait, until you have his or my news.

 

[Dragonson]

Oookay, my initial 'OHMYGODGUILDWARS2ISLIKETHESAVIOURTHATWILLLEADUSTOTHEPROMISED(virtual)LANDINEEDTOFARMMORECOPPERORE' craze is almost over. Resuming judging at regular speed.
Apologies for the delay, but when a game you've been waiting for has been five years in development it's release is a pretty gosh darn amazing thing.

 

[Brambleclaw]

Yey also

"Judge faster"
Remember the times when Judging usually lasted longer that the actual contest. Sometimes even a few months.

I know what you mean, I've been waiting for HL3 for around 4 years now

 

[Da Fist]

Good luck to judging then, Dragonson! Hope to see the results around mid-September.

 

[Deleted member 212788]

At the rate he's doing it, I think they will be out before the end of the Xel'Naga games

 

[RiotZ]

You and me both.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

I would join, but noticed this just now in the middle of judging process. My announcement info failed T_T

I'm looking forward to the next contest. I'll quote my friend:

Damn Pharaoh, stop ruining my life with such interesting contests D:

 

[Allain55X]

Advance Congratualtion to the winner....Wish Ill be the one but no..... there are many awesome entry like the POEMS here!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

@Allain55X:

You should never underestimate yourself. A poem is not necessarily better than a story. It all depends on the idea you have and how you depict everything. Never give up mate

Thanks, man! Well, my story is emotional in the ending.... WIsh that will be enough. LOL Here's A +REP!

 

[lateris]

Okay, as Dragonson mentioned, he is the appointed judge, so thank you a lot!

There are entries that were labelled as WiP or Second WiP, but I haven't seen more news of their authors posted. Authors' names will be listed below. If you think that despite being a WiP, your entry should still be judged, please, state it with a reply.

• Arcisal
• lateris
• AyeKantSpel
• Leeroy
• Allain55X
• Levdragon

SkyGreen had showed a WiP, but voluntarily dropped out.
The Panda's story is too short for a WiP and therefore looks too incomplete, but feel free to reply as well.

People of the list above will also be contacted privately.

---

Entries to be judged are as follows:

• InfinateAnswers
• Nicolas CB
• Lordkoon
• CurseTime
• Fussiler1
• Brambleclaw
• DeathKing12
• Firedragoner
• DSgamer
• Codric
• Da Fist
• _PV
• RiotZ
• Darthmechas
• Allain55X

Thank you everyone for your participation, this is a considerable amount of contestants and it's great to see you active

Oh, yes, sorry, I was kind of busy. Well, since I couldn't finish my entry in time(only managed to get 2/3 of it written) I guess I didn't make it in time. Sorry, I really tried, but there were some unexpected events that consumed most of my time. Good luck to the contestants!

No, my WiP shouldn't be considered an entry, it's only the beginning paragraph of the story. Though thanks for asking.

 

[Celaquil]

Well, fuck.

How could I not have noticed this before now? >.>
- I'd participated if there'd been more time, I reckon that's not the case though.

Good luck to anyone that DID manage to participate.

 

[Apheraz Lucent]

^dat.

Well, a SSC will be launched (hopefully) soon, I managed to pull the poll results and get a good theme, so it's up to Phar to decide when's a good time. I will most likely judge in it again.

Offtopic: do old judging count in Emblem of Golden Dragon award?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

How's the judging going? May we get an update ?

 

[Dragonson]

We are close to a finish.
I'd have been finished a few days ago had it not been for GW2, but alas, i could not resist it's dynamic siren song.

As an ultimate deadline, i can promise you it'll be finished sometime this week.

Hurraah! I'm so excited! Expecting this on Friday~ GOOD CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER (advanced)!

It's good to hear this, Dragonson. Can't wait!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

The suspense is killing me . Fingers crossed and congratulations to the winner in advance!

 

[Codric]

Yeah its killing me too, and congratz in advance to the winner!

 

[InfinateAnswers]

im 0/1 for contests this month lol. Lets see if i get a little more luck this time around

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Just a little more, they should be out today/tomorrow ^^

 

[Dragonson]

Currently in the process of finishing the judgings, and making sure that i've gotten my points through right (tho chances are there's still gonna' be stuff i could've done better).

Most probably i'll send them Pharaoh's way for processing later today.
And... I'ma be blunt with you guys: Some of you might be in for a rough surprise when it comes to your scores.

 

[Codric]

well what you said sound like i am ganna lose (I hope i dont) but anyway i gave it my best shot.

 

[Brambleclaw]

To your last part. I am expecting a score way below 30%. It was poorly written. Very bad concept. No continuity, with lack of thought put into the actual excerpt that was being written. Maybe it would get at least 50% if was at least written properly, instead of this piss poor writing. xD Also the poem was complete ass crap

 

[Deleted member 212788]

I bet my money on PV, if he doesn't win, I don't know who will.

you are talking about me right?

Edit: and if you are talking to me, or to anyone as a matter of fact, who in gods name would want your opinion I want the judges opinion not your crappy-ass coments, if I wanted a dumb pony's advice i would have asked or who-ever would have asked for it.

Another Edit: Wait a minute I did not have a poem, but I guess your still talking about me.

No i was referring back to dragonson's post hence "I expect" .... For my own results

Why the HHHHHHHHH would i be referring to you. Stop being so insecure -.-

 

[Codric]

Well thanks and sorry.

 

[_PV]

I bet my money on PV, if he doesn't win, I don't know who will.

Hehe, thanks mate ^-^ yeah Well I'm not trying to seem modest or anything, but This is "short-story contest" so, I really don't know P

 

[Deleted member 212788]

As people already said, your poem is "epic". Hell, they even compared it to Beowulf/Dante's Inferno, which, in my eyes, is a big compliment.

 

[InfinateAnswers]

You obviously misinterpreted our conversation. Quite the opposite old chap, i was explaining how an Epic Poem was more under Dante's Inferno, and Beowulf's prowess

 

[_PV]

Hahaha I could only dream of being in the same class as Beowulf and Dante's xD But thanks anyway D

 

[Allain55X]

Wow the Unltimate deadlin has passed but still no result.....It's ok.... I feel the pain of judging many entries

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Not yet ^^, now we are waiting for Pharaoh to post them.

 

[Codric]

Cant wait.
I am so excited.

 

[Dragonson]

Actually, the ultimate deadline aint till 13 hours from now in my time.
But, the entires should be on their way to pharaoh now.

Well Im from Philippines that means we have different time.... Mine September 9, 17:35 (In PHIL Time: 5:35 PM).

 

[Codric]

Mine is still 1:28 pm 9th september

 

[Allain55X]

Mine is still 1:28 pm 9th september

Already 7:38 PM here!

 

[Deleted member 212788]

15:29 here . It's the Final Countdown!

 

[Allain55X]

15:29 here . It's the Final Countdown!

Man... What do you mean by final countdown?

 

[Deleted member 212788]

Only a couple of hourse are left till "the moment of truth"

 

[Allain55X]

Only a couple of hourse are left till "the moment of truth"

You mean the results will come after an hour...? THATS WHAT IM WATING FOR!

 

[Lordkoon]

Naah. I bet my shoes results won't be put up today. Even if done today. For some reason topic creation with announsing the results usually takes 2-3 days.

 

[Codric]

I want results now, if only i could speed up time.

Oh yeah and Lordkoon I hope you like walking around without shoes

 

[lateris]

I'm kind of curious to see the results too, even though i couldn't finish myself.

 

[Da Fist]

Suspense! -.-
----
Also when is the next Story & Lore Mini-Contest ( Expecting Mid-October )?
Congrats to the winner ( advanced )

 

[Deleted member 212788]

The deadline's passed, when will pharaoh post the results?

 

[Lordkoon]

I want results now, if only i could speed up time.

Oh yeah and Lordkoon I hope you like walking around without shoes

I get to keep my shoes another day
