Im pretty sure this contest covers the entire board, meaning every topic, and every thread.

This is all pretty exciting.

What's wrong with a little competition, plus the ability to bring some new, eager permanent members to the board?

Nothing, I say.
As you recall, you know I love to show off,
But you never thought that I would take it this far.
What do you know?

I have some concerns about how the points are being scored right now.

Was there a typo when you added points to some people? I mean, so far, I'm pretty satisfied with how many points I have for my posts. But I see a person has a negative scoring, which is an interesting thing, and I see the lead right now is by over 1000 points. I look over some of the posts myself, and I'm thinking there's a flaw somewhere in the marking...

That, or you pressed zero a couple of times without knowing.

I agree with souless the post below scored over 1000 points...

Ps: How I put it below is exactly how it looks like in the origional post.

"Tsuya+was+known+for+her+antics+and,+by+Satan,+was+she+a+vixen+for+the+way+she+did+them.++She'd+been+feeding+for+the+past,+oh,+half+hour+or+so+when+she+noticed+another+bloodlust+about+to+be+fulfilled.++And+oh+my,+it's+was+that+handsome+fellow,+Eaon,+too.++%22You+sneaky+hell+hound,%22+she+teased,+%22I'd'a+shared+this+pretty+young+thing+with+ya.%22++She+snapped+her+fingers+to+immediately+ignite+a+flame+to+light+her+features+and+present+herself+to+him."

PPS: the origional post seems to have been corrected, and the scoring adjusted...

How does someone have a negative point? o.O;
Today, Friday, October 10, 2009, is my last day on RolePlayGateway.com.

Negative points are rare, but do happen. This is not a flaw with the system, but is instead part of the scoring algorithm.

As far as the high scoring post - this was a result of the way the text was entered. As you have noticed, this has been adjusted - moderators will manually fix any posts that are unbecoming of the contest. (Double posts, bumps, intentionally manipulative text.)

I must say, the handpicked goodness of each post is a grand idea.
You can't cheat a person openly.

Well... I hope Remaeus would be able to spot someone cheating.
In this sense, of course.
I don't know how you would cheat a hand-picked scoring.

>.<
My head hurts.

Nevertheless, it's a great idea!
I myself am even going that extra foot or two (come on, are those descriptive words REALLY a mile away?). Though I don't expect to win.

I am sure you will do wonderfully Jakob. ^^
And you're right, all you have to do is be descriptive in your posts and there ya go. It's not like it's hard to do. I am not the best at being more into detail about things but I'd like to think I do pretty good. I mean, isn't that what roleplaying is about anyway? Description?

Last I knew, yes. Yes it is.

Oh and if you mean 25th place, then yes! I'm doing wonderfully! :P

Now description in a post like this.... is just plain stupid.

lol Well, I wouldn't say it's stupid. xD It just depends on how much you have to say...kind of...<<

25th? It shouldn't be too hard to rank at least 10th. Then that's where it gets hard. ^^ I've got faith in you!

You've never had a conversation with me, apparently. xD
I've got faith in you!

At least one of us does, right?

xD Nope. Only Facebook which wouldn't be much of a conversation...<<
Well, someone's got to or else that just wouldn't be right! <3

Exactly.

Faith is the name of a person I know.

So saying I have faith is a weird saying.

"I HAVE FAITH IN YOUR CAR!"

"What?"

"I SAID I HAVE FAITH IN YOUR CAR?"

"Why the hell is she in there?"

"Nevermind."

Yes well, as it is, I really was quite surprised when I found how many points I found that I had accumulated already. Granted there are numerous people with a great deal more points, but then again, they posted more two. I'm just glad that who ever or what ever runs the point system, thinks I write well.

XDD OMG! That was hillarious!
Ok, well I know what you mean about the name. ^^"
So my bad. :p
But, I still think you can do it.

I couldn't get on at all this week because of a ton of papers I had to write and now I will never catch back up to first place. ;_;

A suggestion:

Perhaps a modification of the prizes, to include the person with the highest score per post average.
STAVE: Commala-come-ki,
There's a time to live and one to die.
With your back against the final wall
Ya gotta let the bullets fly.

RESPONSE: Commala-come-ki!
Let the bullets fly!
Don't 'ee mourn for me, my lads
When it comes my day to die.
