Looks like I just missed the contest...I always enjoy writing exercises though. I'll try to make the next one.

Today is the 30th! Maybe I skipped over a post with the extension.

Oh well. I'll give it some thought and if I get anything good in mind tonight I'll write it up and post. Either way, I'll be better prepared for the next one.

I know it's not really my job, seeing as this is olaf's competition, but I'll just leave these here:

Quick 5 min job in paint, enjoy.

I finished it! You can start the voting now if you like, or wait for anyone else. Entry in original post.

By the way, there are so many entries this time could we have a longish voting period? Say 2-3 days?

olafmoriarty · Wed 01/10/2008 08:44:51

Okay, a little late, but let the voting begin! Two votes each.

You have two days to vote, so that should be Friday (October 3rd) at 8:45 AM GMT, right? If anyone really needs more time to read all the contributions, say so, but give it a try first.

And I was really intending to make some throphies, but DanielH's are so sheer awesomeness that I just have to use those instead.

Good luck, everybody!

The contestants are:
Bluke4x4: Warning forever
DanielH: Beneath a steel sky
Eggie: Rageball
Jack Sheehan: Dead rising
kaputtnik: Traffic department 2192
Krazy: Zworx
rock_chick: Runaway
TwinMoon: Sam 'n Max hit the road

TwinMoon · Fri 03/10/2008 03:08:04

Could you extend the voting to Friday 12:00 GMT?

olafmoriarty · Fri 03/10/2008 08:23:52

No problem.

EDIT fifteen minutes before voting ends: My votes goes go Eggie's "Rageball" and DanielH's "Beneath a Steel Sky".

TwinMoon · Fri 03/10/2008 12:06:17

Damn, there are three entries I really like: Dead Rising, Rageball & Warning Forever.

But if I have to choose I'll vote for Jack Sheehan and Eggie.

olafmoriarty · Fri 03/10/2008 12:24:20

Okay, that means all votes are in...

The winner is DanielH with his story Â«Beneath a steel skyÂ».

Shared second place: Bluke4x4, Eggie, Jack Sheehan and Krazy.

Thanks to everybody who participated -- DanielH, your turn to put together the next competition.

This was FUN!
