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.

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 :)

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

@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 :)

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:
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.

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.

To your last part. I am expecting a score way below 30%. :D 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

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.

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 :pP


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.
