    I just hope that any voters this brings will actually read the stories. They sure would be missing a lot if they don't.

      Hey guys! Glad we are getting some visibility.... Looks like Chrisius is running away with this! The Fight for Freedom is a great story - well deserved.

        It won me over, anyway.

        Incidentally, top bananas to Paddy for the sig codes. Naturally I kept the "4" sizing tag, but I notice it's since shrunk. I suspect an administrator is being arsey.

          I suspect it was done because somebody broke the rules of the site by having over sized type in their signature... would you have prefered a restriction?

            And I wouldn't suggest changing it back unless you care to take some time off from posting

              No, no, no. I'm not quite daft enough to even have considered moving it back up.

              (Actually to be honest, it did cross my mind, but I knew all along that the consequences for defying a mod would be unpleasant so it didn't cross for long)

              Besides, I have a story going right now and I would just as soon not have to take a break from it.

                Yes it is a good story...

                and we your humble, yet loyal, audience would like to see you hard at work on this story, not relaxing on sunburnt beaches, with long drinks, fresh seafood, all at the pleasure of the mods....

                    As much as I'm sure they are interesting and well worth the time to read, my duties here and at other sites takes up most of my free time that isn't spent actually playing civ or being with my family/friends or doing real work.

                    But good luck with this contest and future contests.

                      Stil only seventeen voters, seems like the stories section is overlooked by many at poly.

                      Weve had a news item, then several of us promoting it with our sigs and of course the recent activity in the community thread over the civ group icon.

                      BTW any news on the civ group thing ?

                      Thanks to everyone whose has voted for "Fight for Freedom" I appreciate your support.

                      I just wish more people would turn out and give their support, it would be nice to see all the above contenders getting lots more support.

                        Nope, I think it's about time to bump that thread again.

                          We are one day past the halfway mark of the competition, and round 19 has more posts, more votes, and almost as many people have viewed it.

                          Add to this, round 18 has been available to be viewed for an additional four months.

                            Hmm interesting stats Paddy. It would seem then that our recent efforts to publicise the forum have had some effect.

                            All food for thought
