Thanks for the comments, judges, and for making them so timely! One more week at full power and then anything after that will find you having to read through fewer reviews. Judging these things is hard work and I really appreciate all that you've done.

I was gonna say even God rested on the seventh day in my comments for Suskie's review for the lols but really didn't want to torture the guy anymore.

Okay, serious response. My congratulations go to Woodhouse for being the first to beat me -- if it had to happen, I'm glad it was to someone who isn't going to be a dick about it. Same to Boo's team in general. We were out-written and that's all there is to it. Well done, guys.

Yeah, unfortunately I don't have all the tie breakers on hand when I'm sorting the results. I'll make sure I have a list of who beat who handy next week when I sort the results so we know for sure who our top 4 are.

I'm going to bed in moment and I'll have a big shit-eating grin on my face when I do so. That PE review was one I was really experimental with when I wrote it and always wanted to know how it'd fare in a contest. To beat a writer as good as Zipp with it is a wonderful feeling. I'm legit ecstatic at the moment!

Well, my predictions were spot on until my team's matches. The last two teams threw me for a bit of a loop, though I think I said they probably would in my preview.

Oh look! We clinched a playoff berth! OK, that was due to Team EmP's performance, but never mind.

I knew my intro would have to carry 80% of the Hover Bovver review for me - as after that brief bout of inspiration it does the usual things right and the usual things wrong for my kind of writing - so I'm pleased to see it followed through. Jason isn't exactly a formality to beat.

Well, thanks as always to the judges for taking the time to do what they do. But...I don't mind saying that I'm now extremely uncertain on how to write a review that would meet your collective standards. o_O

Of course. Now we have no reason left to hold back reviews for potential future rounds. Like my grandfather before me, I intend to go out with a bang.

Okay, I've updated the Team Leaderboard to show total votes, so Boo is indeed in second.

Team FRZ! I've looked over our teams, and I think the match ups that would be most fun would be:

Damnit, Zipp, which of us is captain here? Back to the hold with you!

I have to agree with Suskie on that one. Thank fucking God. I no longer have that undue pressure of Blue never beating me over my head anymore.

Heh heh heh. I knew writing a sports game was taking a chance here. I'm just happy you all seemed to enjoy it on at least some level.

We have lost. But I think HG has won. Used to be a guy like Zig was guaranteed to finish the season with a spotless record. Thanks to the judges, Zig became beatable. I don't always agree with the verdicts or the logic in the feedback, but I'm grateful that it's given. Jerec, find a way to start writing more frequently, as reviews are only words formed into sentences. Same for you Sportsman, as you should strive to remove the clunkiness that has affected some of your reviews I have read. And Lewis, video games are not Art, though they can be artistic in design. |
