Maybe someone else could vote this round, Nr? That way it'd be fairer.

It's okay, I don't know much of it either.

Dont be jelly

It's true, your story was really bad last round but it was decent the previous ones no offence. IMO

Yet im #1 overall... #3jelly5me

P.S. Nr i kinda forgot to send in my entry.. Am i fucked?

#4marmelade6me No wait, that doesn't sound right... abort post. Which reminds me: shut up, Joey.

You missed a good chance to advance your lead, but looking at how things are playing out now, you could still win the overall table with round 4.



After Paul's points and mine:

You have 37 points from the first two rounds, still.
Taro has 39 +between 1-5 from Pants
Slash has 37 +between 1-5 from Pants
Icy has 34 +between 1-5 from Pants

It should be pretty close between you 4.

Im gonna have to write an epic story to win overall. Gl me ;p.

you forgot to pay me 5m for writing for u ffs

Meiru- 3 things wrong with it. 1 really really cheesy ending. 2 long 3 not an anime fan and I kinda dreaded reading it. I was gunna do the scoring three times and the first two I saw urs and left.
 
Rock- the beginning was cheesy too but I didn’t mind it as much as meirus cheesy ending. If meiru is cheese from a can, yours is KRAFT singles. I hated the “I get it now. It reflects the players charisma, leadership, and the potential of leadership when they move” says Garchuo. It was breaking the game. I talked myself down to a strong disliking of it. I followed the game and by like 5 moves in you lost me. The dialogue was annoyingly fake drama.
 
Taba- it made me smile, bad story though, but I smiled so ur da real mvp
 
Slash- I liked it. So far the only chess reference (barely a chess reference) that didn’t make me cringe.
 
Taro I liked the symbolism. Small note, the pieces work together rather against each other. In the game of the century, fischer sacrificed his queen for a plan that involved the unison of his pieces to combine into a huge attacking force.
 
5 taro
4 slash
3 taba
2 meiru
1 rock

Okay. That's the points for round 3 together. Uhhh, I'm expecting a similar post as Slash's earlier on why pants gave Taro a 5.

This round

Rank	Name	Points
1.	Meiru	11
2.	Slash	11
3.	Iamtaba	10
4.	Taro Beast	7
5.	Rock	6

Slash & Meiru both won 5m. I transferred 5m to Slash's credits. Meiru - How do I get your prize to you?

Overall table

Rank	Name	Points	Participated in x rounds
1.	Taro Beast	44	3
2.	Slash	41	3
3.	Eth111	37	2
4.	Iamtaba	37	3
5.	FeuerKaiser|Warriors	22	1
6.	Dump me	19	2
7.	Rock	18	2
8.	Luke	16	1
9.	Lord Abigor	13	2
10.	Meiru	11	1
11.	Joe	3	1

The main battle will be between Taro and Slash. Icy and Eth at 37 points might not be completely out of the race yet, either. Might just depend on the number of entries for the last round. Who's everyone rooting for or against? Predictions on overall winner?

Round 4 deadline is on Saturday. 15m goes to best entry that round and 25m to overall winner. There is no public vote for round 4 -- so cast your vote for this round if you've got a favourite entry. Last chance in this comp to choose a winner if you're not one of the judges.

looks like im in the lead guys.

You're a force to reckon with with those 3 points.

Pants - I love you so so much right now. You made up for the 1 last time round!

i want in on the next one, Nr!!!

@ Nr , I just asked Meiru on skype he said just give it to Kimchi (Who is another friend but cora people know this dude) lol. (Meiru doesn't play rs he just wants to enter these lol)

I walked in and read that my story was an anime. So anything fiction equals anime right lol? I'm afraid to partake in round 4 because my work of fiction may be arbitrarily labeled as an anime and be dropped within the first seconds of being read.

Sorry, I'm just ranting because I get passionate about literature. Continue with your daily lives.

Not sure whether you were referencing to me or Dogs>cats... or both. Probably not just me as you were referencing to it being dropped. Well, basically, you fooled me with the anime avatar, signature, the name Azira and a katana in there. I'm not familiar with anime, yet I considered it a safe bet. Preemptively maybe. Fantasy works...

I'd also like to say that overall this is a community event meant for fun, not a serious literary competition run by someone with expertise and knowledge. Therefore there will certainly be cock-ups, especially when it comes to judging. You are free to disagree with anything and there's a good chance you're right. None of the judges have thorough guidelines, it's just a light event to keep the forums going.

Only 2 so far. Yours included.
