Story Contest History {NEW}

[vovan]

Hello, everybody,

I am sorry it took a while to update the history - I have had quite a hard time find the few minutes to even turn on the computer at home. Now, the results of the latest contest are in place, and I will take care of the upcoming Best of the Best contest shortly.

EDIT: Done. Please cast your vote for the very best story of contests 14 through 17 here:

Best of the Best: Contests 14-17

[SKILORD]

You need to update this with Contest 17.

Well I have something in the history w00t

Trogdor Strikes Again!

[SKILORD]

It's alright..... I just wish I had something there.....

[DarkCloud]

nah. sorry. I'm trying not to plug too many stories I don't think I linked to more than 3 and probably shouldn't have even done that

[SKILORD]

DC:

I was wondering, since I rate getting my first appearance noted ( ) what are the odds that 'Blessed Be the Peacemakers' would find a link.

Unless it's disqualified by not being a Civ3 story...

[DarkCloud]

...The link to Contest 16 doesn't work, however, I just noticed.

[DarkCloud]

good reviews vovansim!

I just approved the two links you submitted- they work great

[SKILORD]

I was reading thru this thread, I find it amusing that my first appearance is noted. I think I made my 'poly account originally just for this contest

Wasn't very good back there, looking back on my stories I notice that I've come a long way..... a damn long way.

Case in pont: My first story: Roma: Glory and Disgrace

Catchy title, but not really so good

And put that against Peacemakers..... whow. I've come far.

[vovan]

Nope, DC, take a look at the list, there have never been any ties for the first place.

Also, I have submitted the links and descriptions of some stories to the directory, though they don't show up, so I guess you need to approve them or something.

[DarkCloud]

Very good list and links

Strange that it took 3 months to get contest 15 out of the way

[DarkCloud]

whew. thanks for doing the update

although I though we had ties before?

Just wondering, were you ever going to do your chart of the winners?

[vovan]

Updated with the results of the two latest contests!

Wacky fact: Did you know that both of the last story contests were won by Chieftains?

(Well, technically speaking, #15 wasn't won only by a Chieftain alone, but also by yours truly, which was also an unprecedented occurance.)

[SKILORD]

I only have one story mentioned here. Land of the Brave for getting third place in contest 14.

Well, damn, I'll have to change that then.

I don't suppose Manifest Destiney has much chance though.

[vovan]

Well, I thought that the percentage of votes next to the abolute number would give you a good enough idea of the total competition. I mean, if two stories win, one with (6 votes, 66%), and another with (6 votes, 25%), you have a pretty nice idea about competition. But if you think that the totals would still be a good thing to have, it wouldn't take more than five minutes to add.
